COMMERCE COURT ENJOINS
ACTION OF THE COMMISSION

the actual transportation of the Federal
companys sugar until 1t reaches the New
Jersey terminal while the transportation
of the Arbuckle sugar actually begins
from the Jay street terminal in Brook
Ign.
It is held by the court that the COM
mission exceeded its powers in the is
suance of its order and the temporary
injunction therefore is made perman ant.
The Federal company originally brought
the suit on the basis of its shipments
from its refineries at Yonkers. The COM
mission dismissed that complaint because
Yonkers was outside the lighterage limits
of New York harbor The Federal COM
pany then moved its offices to New York
brought its sugar from Yonkers to pier
"a North river, and again demanded the
same allowances.
The court declares the shipping of the
sugar from pier "a to the Jersey ter
minals by the Ben Franklin Transporta-
ton company is plain device and sub
terfuge INDUCED in on behalf of the Fed
eral Sugar Refining company for the pur-
pose of making it seem that sugar which
is being lightered from YonlSers, was in
fact shipped from pier "a by delivery

with her many minutes. When she would
leave the telephone the witness said
Miss Farley would often be in a state of
nervous exhaustion.
The witness told of meeting Zollinger
at the Columbus Union station one lay
and asking him to please stop bother
ing Miss Farley. Zollinger was alleged
to have told her:
III Cecilia doesn't 30 as / want her
to, it will end in tragedy for the three
of u.s."
The defense entered this testimony t,Iat
showed that zollinger was objecting to
the attentions paid Miss Farley by Je-
rome Quigley, the man whom she was
to marry, and that he had threatened
violence.
Zollinger the witness said, told her
| that his wife didn't count" She told
| of how zollinghr watched the house where
Miss Farley was living ana of how he
followed her on the street, continually
dogging her.
Miss Edward Smms, an employee in
the state bureau of vital statistics, told
of how she accompanied Miss Farley
on the Saturday afternoon before the
shooting to a hardware store where the
stenographer purchased "a box of some
thing" The prosecution had offered wit
nesses who said Miss Farley had pur-
chased cartridges at the same hardware
store on the Saturday evening preceding
the tragedy.
Several witnesses were introduced by
the defense to testify to the good char
acter of the defendant.

the defense and probably will go on the
stand next Tuesday according to state
ments of her attorneys today. When the
trial was concluded for today a recess

STATE EXPECTED TO
CLOSE CASE TODAY

Wytheville, Va, November 15.--After
the examination of one witness tomorrow
the state expects to rest in the trial
of Sidna Allen for the murder of Judge
Thornton l.. Massie. A large number of
witnesses were examined today, all but
one of whom had testified at former
trials growing out of the Hillsvile trag-
edy, and their evidence mainly was a
repetition of previous testimony. ELI A.
Pickett was a member of the Carroll
county jury that convicted Floyd Allen.
He was placed on the stand today for
the first time and partially corroborated
the evidence given by Deputy Sheriff Fow-
Ter to the effect that Sidna Allen shot
twice at Judge Massle after the latter
had fallen out of his chair mortally
wounded. He could not positively identify
the man he saw as the prisoner.

Plans Practically Complete for

Field headquarters will be estab

The station will be the central"
and to it will be made reports from
the commanding officers of the invading

conditions as nearly. Stimulating war as
possible.
"Central'' station will also be
equipped with local and long-distance
telephones, to be used exclusively for
official business, and it will also have
signal men, who will employ heliograph
and acetylene flashes, as well as the
regulation wig.wag flags.
Many of the umpires and observers
who arrived on the transport Logan
from the Coast have gone to Schofield
and to other places which will figure
in the maneuvers, and may not return
to town before the hostilities'' COM
mence.
The final plans are being completed
and the finishing touches put upon all
the paper preparations at headquarters,
which will then be practically trans
ferred to the field.
Fifth Cavalry May Go.
Colonel McGunnegle, commandant of
Schofieh Barracks, is reported to have
recommended that the Fifth Cavalry be
permitted to leave the Islands, owing
to the scarcity of water for mounts.
The Fifth was scheduled to leave in
February, following the arrival of the
Fourth Cavalry, but according to
Colonel McGunnegle's recommendation
the regiment may leave sooner. The
recommendation is made to General
Macomb, department commander. The
water situation has been serious at
Sehofield Barracks for some time, and
has not been improved in the past few
weeks. The withdrawal of 900 horses
would greatly ease the water question.
The new water system being Installed
by the quartermaster department, tap.
ping sources in the Koolau range, it is
believed, will solve the water question
and provide a plentiful supply for the
new post being erected at Cashier, some
distance from the present post.
Should the Fifth Cavalry move out,
the First Infantry might move into the
vacated quarters, thereby saving the
government much tentage expense, a
matter of about $4,000. Canvas de-
teriorates rapidly at Leilehua, and much
of chat served out to the First Infantry
is already giving out.

BUSINESS WOULD
SUFFER FROM IT
Proposed Auto Ordinance for
Fort Street Opposed by
Merchants.

Opposition to the proposed auto traf
fc ordinance for Fort street, suggested
by Supervisor Murray, was strongly
voiced Mt the meeting of the MERCHANTS
association yesterday afternoon, and
committee consisting of Merle johnson,
C. Du Roi and w. II. McInerny, was
appointed by President Gignoux to con.
fer with the supervisors and to present
to them resolution passed by the as
soeiation advocating q time limit of
thirty minutes for automobiles standing
at the curb.
The proposed auto ordinance was in.
tended to prevent automobiles from linz
ing the cuFbs except long enough for oc-
cupants to alight or users to enter them.
1t was proposed by the supervisors to
stop all autos from being left at tho
curbs and to have them off to the side
streets to await owners or users who
were shopping or otherwise engaged on
Fort street.
The first objection to the proposed
"side street, system came from mer-
chants on the so.caled side streets, who
strongly protested against having autos
lined up in front of their places of

already and they did not propose to
have the law so framed that they would
have no redress.
President Gignoux stated that the
proposed ordinance was suggested to
regulate traffic on Fort street, but the
proposal had met with general criti-
cism among merchants.
Merle johnson, of Wichman & Com
| ho
tagc to the merchants of Fort street to
have the ordinance passed as proposed,
as a great deal of business on Fort
street was done through the medium of
autos, but there had been an abuse of
the privileges already and these should
be corrected. Some owners of autos
who occupy Offices in the business blocks
leave their machines on Fort street from
eight in the morning until five in the
afternoon and these machines interfered
with traffic. He believed that il time
limit of say, half an hour, were made,
it would have the desired effect Sew
eral owners of machines made garage
out of Fort street.
The proposed ordinance would be o
great disadvantage to tourists, sand MT.
Johnson, and would be a source Of dis
satisfaction to tourists, merchants and
chauffeurs.
Roscoe Perkins, who does business on
Hotel street, which was referred to as
a "side street, said the side street
merchants had some rights and these
were that their places of business should
not be cluttered all day long with ma,
chimes placed there as if the site was
a garage.
