RENO RATE CASES ARE
NOW IN HIGH COURT

The appeal to the supreme court
OF the United States from the
decision of the commercial court in
the Nevada rate ease is now being
heard in Washington and is a matter
Of vital interest to the people Of the
state. Il is expected the decision
will definitely fix the functions and
limitations Of the commercial court
and stop the practice of that new
body in enjoining nearly every order
OF the interstate commerce commits
sion.
The cases now before the highest
tribunal have been long subjects of
litigation. For years the people OF
Nevada have been working for re-
dueed rates from the east and finally
they secured a modification of the
class rates. This was followed by a
modification of the commodity rates
through the operation of a new table
OF comparative rates laid down by
the interstate commerce commission.
This table was made under the APP
~plication of the long and short haul
clause of the federal law. That
clause prohibits charging a higher
rate for a short haul than for a long
haul. giving the commission in its
decretion the power TO declare ex-
ceptions. The commission in solv-
ing the difficulty did not apply the
long and short haul prohibition alb
solutely. but provided that in certain
zones the rule should apply and in
other zones there might be an ex-
ception % the extent laid down In
the order. These variations were
such Is 70 permit the charging of a
maximum difference against Reno of
Is per cent on freight originating in
Chicago points and p per cent in

basis Of practical equality with the
coast and Sacramento jobbers. per

From this order Of the Interstate
commerce commission the railroads
appealed 10 the commerce court and
got a temporary injunction forbid
ding the putting into effect OF these
rates on November Is as planned.
Subsequent TO this a general de-
cree vas handed down by the COM
merce court by stipulation. making
the temporary injunction permanent.
II is from this hnal decree and
from the temporary injunction order
thar the government is appealing.
The great divergence between the
interstate commerce commission and
the commerce court seems TO be that
the commerce court has concerned
itself not alone with the regularity
and legality OF the acts OF the inter-
state commerce commission. but also
with their expediency and reason
ableness. In this way two commits
sions are working on the same Job.

tailed experience in rate making and
The other claiming no experinece

Of rates but rather a comparative
table The interstate commerce COM
mission takes the stand that its order
a easily be followed and will result
in a definite schedule Of rates with
the same force and effect as II a de-
tailed schedule OF rates we're made

BOWMAN TEST|F|ES
IN THE SNEED CASE

Fort Worth, Texas, November 81.
Henry Bowman, Jr., brother-in-law of
John Beall Sneed, Amarillo. Tex, banker,
accused of having murdered Capt.
A. G. Boyce, aged ranchman, told the
jury today of incidents in the Sneed
home after Mrs. Sneed eloped with A.
G. Boyce. Jr.. and of the pleadngs Of
the two Sneed children that their father
bring back their mama Each night
said Bowman, the children kissed their
mothers picture. Other witnesses told
of remarks alleged to have been made
by the elder Boyce of Mrs. Sneed The
witnesses were not permitted to repeat
the alleged remarks in detail, but they
described them generally as defamatory.
1t is one of the contentious of the de-
Tense that Sneed, because of the elope-
ment of his wife with the younger
Boyce and of remarks credited to Boyce,
Sr was incapable of calm- action when
he met the ranchman in the lobby of a
local hotel last January and shot him
to death.
Bowman had not concluded his testi-
money when court adjourned. Sneed
probably will testify tomorrow in his
own defense.
