GAR COMPANY LOSES
 IN SUPREME COURT

Meridian, December 22.-(Special.)- )- The street car people have lost out In the supreme court of the United States in the famous Eight street paving con- troversy between the abutting property owners over the double tracking of Eighth street by federal injunction. This injunction was granted by Judge Niles and the court of appeals de- cided that Judge Niles had no juris- diction over such cases and that the enforced double tracking of Eighth street was Illegal. After many legal proceedings an appeal was taken to the supreme court of the United states. The street railway company lost the case so far as the federal courts are concerned. It is understood that many and divers suits will be instituted In the state circuit court and chancery courts on the injunction bond and for punitive damages and to enforce the removal of the double track on Eighth street.
 The street in question Is one of the most popular In Meridian and the finest as far as the metropolitan idea goes in the state. The property abutting had been greatly enhanced in value since the beginning of the controversy about 12 months ago and there is much less opposition to the double track than at the time 1t was put down. The citizens were represented in the case by Judge G. c. Hall of this city, the street rail- way company by two of their attor- neys from New York city

FOUR ARE G|VENA
 YEAR ON ISLAND Promoters of Burr Bros. Convicted of 'Swindling MILLIONS IN PROFIT Defendants Unexpectedly Offered Pleas of Guilty-Accused of Car
 rying on Stock Swindle
 By Mail
MILLIONS IN PROFIT

New York, December 22.--As pun ishment for carrying on stock sWlndle by mail, alleged to have extended over a period of two years and to have netted millions in profit four promoters of the firm of Burr Brothers, incorpor- ated, were each sentenced today to years imprisonment on Blackwell Island.
 The prisoners are Shelton C. Burr, president of the corporation; his proth- CT. Eugene H., who was secretary treasurer Charles H. Tobey, vice pres ident, and Edwin Wesley Preston. On- expectedly they offered pleas or guilts before Judge Holt in the cflmihai branch of the United States circuit court late today. The indictment upon which they were called to face triai specifically charged swindle inVolV- ing s6s,000 in connection with the sate of the stock of the Peoples Assocla- ton oil company, but the government alleged that this was but one of a con tinuing series of frauds estimated to have involved nearly s50000,O0O Wlth s15,OO0, ,000 profit to the promoters.
 Counsel for the defendants declared that rather than involve the expense or summoning witnesses from distant points it was decided to plead guilty to the specific indictment. The maximum sentence possible on this charge Is IS months and counsel for the defendants urged clemency.
 United states District Attorney Wise opposed the plea for clemency.
 Judge Holt pronounced sentence as a year each and the men were taken to the island tonight.
 A little over year ago the four men were prospering, occupying eX- pensive offices in a Broadway sky scraper. On November 20, 1910, federal agents raided their offices in connec- tion with a general round up of mail stock swindlers ordered by Postmaster General Hitchcock.
 Their business had been mainly the sale of stocks and bonds and oil and gold mining enterprises.
