MILLION ISSUED
IN REBATE SLIPS
BY the Chesapeake and Ohio
Will Be Determined AS
to Redemption.


WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 12-
Something like a million dollars IN
rebate coupons issued by the chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company
to purchasers of tickets over its line
in the last two years or so. as well
as the constitutionallty of the two
cent fare law in West virginia, Is
involved in the case of the Chesa-
lpeake and Ohio Ranlroad Company
against the state of West Virginia
which Will come up soon for argu-
meht before the supreme court OF
the United States on appeal from
the supreme court of appeals o.
West Virginia. The case was ad.
yanced- on the docket of the supreme
court and set for today, but as many
other cases were also set for today.
they cannot all be heard at once,
and the West Virginia case will
come up in its turn, as soon as the
court can get to It.
The law requiring railroads to
sell tickets at two cents mile was
at first ignored by the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad. which afterward
sought an Injunction against the
state to prevent 1t from enforcing
the two-cent fare law The case
was decided against the railroad
company in the circuit court of
Kanawha county, where the suit was
instituted. and and the supreme
court of appeals refused an appeal,
The case was then brought to the
Supreme court of the United States.
On account otgits Importance the
case was advanced at the last term
of court and set for argument at
this term of the court.
When the suit was Instituted by
the railroad company, it adopted the
policy OF selling tickets between all
points within the state lines at three
cents mile and issuing coupons
for one cent mile, the amount
charged in excess OF the legal limit.
to be redeemed for cash by the rail-
road in case the suit is finally de-
cided against the company. In a
little more than two years since the
suit was instituted. it is estimated
from the company's statements as to
its passenger business in the state
for limited period that the cou-
pons issued so far amount TO ap-
proximately million dollars.
The constitutionality of the law
is the matter in issue and the su-
preme court will be called upon to
pass on this point. Attorney Gen
Ieral Conley, who was here to appear
in behalf OF the state, has prepared
what is considered a very strong
brief by those who have seen 1t, and
lit is believed that he will present
some very strong arguments in be-
half of the constitutionality of the
law. He has conducted the defense
throughout the tendency of the suit
and has won so far. He appears
confident OF winning in the supreme
court.
