NEW DEVELOPMENTS
 IN THE TAP LINE CASE

Washington. June 1.-Furnishing a sup plementa1 decision of the so-called tap line cases announced today the interstate commerce commission holds that 40 of the lines which it names perform trans port service for which they are entitled to receive compensation out of the through rates.
 In some of these cases the commission fixes switching allowance ranging from Sl 50 to s3 per car, while in other divisions of the through rates. ranging from l to 2 cents per hundred pounds are established.
 Twenty-two tap lines considered by the commission are held to be merely plant facilities and not entitled to either switch ing allowances or divisions of the rates.
 The commission divides tap lines into two classes. There are those which are purely industrial facilities and those which may be considered as common car riers.
 Of those this far passed upon 5S-22 to- day and 36 on April 23-the majority are in the first class and 40 in the second class. The commission announced that soon as possible instructions would be issued to make effective the conclusions reached.
 It is expected that certain individual tap lines which are held to be not common carriers will appeal from the decision Of the commission to the commerce court and eventually If necessary carry the cases to the United States supreme court.

 'Underwood's sanity, his splendid boise. his freedom from narrow prejudices, his absolute loyalty to the general welfare and his high ethical standards make him a striking contrast to the turbulent and yindictive colonel. His friends need have no fear that his geographical residence will initiate against his election in the event he is nominated His vote against the pension steal would probably weaken him with the old soldiers, but they al- ways vote the republican ticket anyway. The younger generation that has grown up since the war has been too busy de- veloping the resources of the country to pay attention to sectional prejudices. The commercial and social relations between the north, east, south and west have be- come so intimate that the old geographi- cal antagonsms have long since been for gotten. and the pervaslve spirit is one of unity and friendship"
 Judge Banks and his family live at the famous old Brown Palace hotel, and one night the judge had the orchestra of the hotel play the Underwood march, which was enthusiastically received. stated MT. Reynolds while in Birmingham yesterday.

INCONSISTENCY.

The Citizen has taken it upon
itself to criticise The Chronicle
for declining to give the name of a
contributor, knowing at the same
time that it would be breach of
confidence to do so without the
consent of the contributor. And
Mayor Stockard knew we could not
afford to do it when he asked us if
we would give him the name of the
contributor, for he admits that he
has been in editorial harness and
should know something of the es-
tablished rules of journalism.
According to both rule and usage
when a newspaper accepts articles
for publication under a monde
plume the writer is entitled to pro-
lection, unless he has made state
ments that would lead to libelous
or criminal action. 1t has always
been our opinion that the custom
should be modified or changed
Still, it is custom, and, like the
editor of the Citizen, we have been
steadfast in clinging to custom.
The Citizen says "ordinarily an
editor is excused from divulging
the name of contributors" Was
it an "ordinary" matter when you
refused to divulge the name of
contributor to the columns of the
Citizen about a year ago? The ar
ticle in question was not only
strongly suggestive but rank with
criticism of Camden's Board of
Education. Yet you refused to
give the same information for
which you now choose to condemn
The Chronicle. From your stand
point it all depends on whose OK is
gored, don't it?
The Citizen is incorrect when it
says we pose as a moral reformer.
Not in the full meaning of the term
as applied to some men. We have
advocated some needed reforms
which will come in due time Gall
great reforms come slowly but at
present we are especially interested
in law enforcement in Tennessee.
The Chronicle has taken no part in
the discussion of municipal affairs,
but if the same zeal which has been
expended in endeavoring to find
out who criticised the Marshal was
exerted in policing the streets of
Camden and in looking after other
matters pertaining to the corporate
interests of the town, there would
be less ground for criticism.
Furthermore, the Citizen says
"the Sheriff and the Marshal both
vote the same ticket in SO far as
State affairs are concerned; they
support the same faction the editor
Of Thes Chronicle supports" thus
