CASE, IS BELIEF

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Dec. lit is said here
that the Colorado and Southern rail-
road company is not likely to carry
the case which IL lost in the state
supreme court yesterday to the Unit
ed States court The ruling of the
supreme court that the order of the
state railroad commission was not
unreasonable in compelling the rail-
road to open up its Breckenridge
Como line, is of great Importance to
the people. not only of the section
directly interested, but will be bene-
ficial to several other localities in
Colorado where the railroad has
abandoned parts of its line. Two
cases in particular are Colorado
Springs and Durango, mention of
which has already been made in these
dispatches
The decision in the Breckenridge
Como case determines definitely that
the powers of the state railroad COM
mission are supreme and must be
obeyed by the roads in the future;
that the commission has power to
regulate service of railroads, which
previous to the ruling of the su-
preme court has been questioned by
railroad corporations.
This decision, as well as that in
the consumers league case, wherein
the supreme court held that the
commission has power to fix rates,
determines for all time to come two
very important facts, which cannot

Chicago, Dec. 12,-Illinois is to
build new state penitentiary at
Joliet, and it is the intention to make
the prison so attractive that many
citizens of Chicago who are saving
up enough money to enable them to
move 10 New York, will consent to
stay here for while longer.
Some of the features of the plans
for the institution are as follows:
Sunshine In every cell.
Constant supervision of prisoners
from one central point.
Circular cell houses connected with
central dining hall
Separate heating and ventilating
arrangements, assuring the maxi
mum effects for health of inmates.
The plans, drawn after three years
study of prisons in this country and
Europe, Will be submitted to Gov
ernCr peneen this week. The cell
houses are circular structures about
100 feet in diameter. Instead of an
open cage of steel, heavy glass will

Heretofore, different roads have
ignored the orders of the state rail-
road commission whether the order
applied TO rates, regulation of ser
vice of anything else, claiming that
the commission was not a legally
constituted body. All these obsta-
cles now have been set aside and
from now on whenever the commits
sion enters a ruling, ten 10 one, it
will stand unquestioned by the roads.
The original order of the railroad
commission to which the Colorado
and Southern objected to, was to the
effect that the company should re-
sumo between Breckenridge and CO.
mo, a distance of % miles, which
had been abandoned for nearly a
year, by operating passenger trains
each way every day except Sunday
and also that freight service
should be inaugurated between the
two points every other day, in both
directions. To this order the road
offered objection and refused to obey
the commissions order. The COM
mercial club of Breckenridge first
took the case up before Judge Rizer
of Pueblo, the trial taking place at
Breckenride. Judge Rizer held with
the railroad commission, but the
case was carried to the state SUI
preme court by the Colorado and
Southern, with the result noted
above.
The opinion of the supreme court
was quite lengthy. In brief 1t held
that the railroad commission was
clothed with legal authority to en-
ter such an order as applied to the
Breckenridge-Como case; that the
commission was not exercising a leg
islative power; and that under the
charter of the company there was
nothing to prevent the order becom-
ing effective

CITY FIRST FAVORED
Considerable Interest Taken in An niston Mayoralty Contest-W. O. Ward Likely to Enter Race.
 Labor Men in Politics

Anniston, February 20.-tSpecial. J. The decision of the Alabama supreme court in the case of the American Tel ephone and Telegraph company against the city of New Decatur in which Knox Acker, Dixon & Sterne of this city rep resented the cohpany, will stand, it is believed, and the decision is said to be of interest to every public service cor poration in the state.
 In this case the court decides that a municipality has not the power of re- voking a franchise previously granted at it's pleasure. The city had granted the plaintiff company franchise to do business. following which 1t built a plant and established a service. The city later revoked this franchise. The company contended that the franchise was perpetual unless it expressed lim- itations.
 The case was first brought in the state and federal courts and a long liti- gation ensued. When 1t got to the Ala bama supreme court that body decided at first in favor of the city, but it has now reversed itself in a decision fla yoring the plaintiff.
 Although the election is some time off there has recently been consider able interest in the election of the next mayor of Anniston on account of the statement given out to the effect that w. O. Ward, the senior member of the city council, will be in the race.
 Mayor J. l.. Wikle is non -committal, but 1t Is generally understood that he will run again, and 1t is also believed that Sam Morris, assistant manager of the Union Foundry company, and also a member of the city council, will be In the running. making his fight on d "progressiveism" platform.
 The Alabama Federation of Labor will hold it's annual convention in this city in May, and already plans are be- ing made for the gathering, which Is expected to be one of the largest within the history of the organization.
 R. E. Gam of this city Is president of the state federation. He has been active to get local labor men to pay their poll tax, and it is believed that la bor will play a big part in the ap- preaching election.
 The state federation will also be ac- tive before the next legislature, hoping to frame up such Legislation as will be in the interest of the working classes of the state. Already the federations S attorneys are said to be at work on measures to be introduced.
