COMMISSION OVERRULED
Commerce Court Annuls Freight
Rate Reduction.

washington, Feb 2s--An order of the
Interstate Commerce Commission reducing
certain class freight rates from New Or
leans to Montgomery, Selma and Mlbiic'
Ala and Pensacola, Fla. was annu!ed by
the Commerce Court to-day.
The decision. handed down by Judge
Archibald is certain to add fuel 70 the
controversy, already acute, between the
commission and the court. The court da-
clares that Congress never intended to
clothe the commission with the wide au-
thority it has assumed. 1t is further as
serted that the court could discover moth
ing IN the record I'm support of the COZ
clusons of the commission or to justify
the reductions in rates that ii ordered.
After an elaborate discussion of the eyi-
dence submitted the court says:
Counsel for the commission and for the
government simply rely on the authority
Of the tummiSsi- n 10 determine what Is q
reasonable rate and the ooLclusiveness Of
it's Judgment where it has done so, aGa.n [
which, it was argued. the courts cah ar
ford 10 relief unless tie rate when mas
been fixed is shown 10 be ConiisCatOly.
This contention must be rejected. In our
Judgment, L was never interded to con-
fer on the commission any such unre-
strained ana undirected power. IT ) not

case nor merely against the weight OF

WINGED Is case Of that character. Hav-
ing regard 10 the undisputed evidence ad-
duced at the hearing the existing rates
were not shown TO he unjust or nreeson-
able and there was, therefore, no valid
basis for the commissions CONCLUSION.
This case was brought by the LouisN le
g. Nashville Railroad In an effort to modlfE
or annul the commissions order of Teduc-
tion. II was asserted that the loss to the
railroad would be $20o,0o q year.

RATES FIXED ARBITRARILY
That Admission Made by Adams Elk
press Manager.

Washington, Feb. Estates of express
companies are fixed arbitrarily practically
without reference even to the first class
rail freight rate.
In brief, that was the statement to-day
of Joseph Zimmerman, general traffic man.
ager nf the Adams Express Company, at
the investigation by the Interstate Com
merce Commission into express rates and
methods.
I'VE make our rates regardless or what
,bc freight rate is between the same
no,nt." Mr.. zimmerman said. Il suppose
M man living knows how express rates
originally were made or could say definitely
boU they are made now"
''Do YOU know OF any basis for an ex-
nress rate?" asked Commissioner Lane.
.'It probably would be based on the dis
,ance with a weight OF 100 pounds as the
unit replied the witness. Rates TO inter-
mediate points, he thought. would be adj
tusted practically arbitrarily.
''Then," suggested the commissioner, in
making your rates you have to lean on
other companiesT
yes" Mr. Zimmerman replied That's
about It."

Management Says Conditions in

The annual meeting OF the stockholders
of the Central Leather Company was held
in Jersey City yesterday, and expectations
that II would be a stormy session were
more than realized. The meeting was more
suggestive OF a gathering OF English stock
holders. whose custom II IS 10 hecklo the
directors with pertinent questions, than the
cut and dried affairs into which most meet

Grated.
Although overwhelmingly outvoted by the

minority stockholders made determined i
unsuccessful fight for reforms and greater
economy in the management of the com
pany and for greater publicity OF It's al

in fattening out all the demands OF lhe

stockholder said: THE time when an in

The fight started when the annual report

Play Ball.

There is great rejoicing among the
fans of Richmond over the fact that
this city will be represented in the Blue
grass Baseball League during the pres
ent season. Some months ago doubt
existed regarding the certainty of Bich-
mond being represented when the time
to call ball arrived. but this feeling has
disappeared and has been replaced by
great hilarity among the lovers of the
national sport. At a meeting of the
baseball enthusiasts, held in this city
several weeks ago, it was decided to
discontinue as a member of the Blue
grass Baseball League unless a guaran-
tee of the necessary funds to finance the
team could be secured. This aroused
the fans to such an extent that COM
mittee was appointed to secure the nee
essary amount needed to place the team
on a firm foundation, which was esti-
mated by those in position 10 know TO
be 81. 600, and those selected to manage
the Pioneers during the coming season
refused to take charge and attempt to
carry to a successful completion the
management of the club unless this
amount was subscribed. Saturday every
dollar had been pledged, and the man
ayers are now OuSliy enSdgeu IN making
preparations for the opening game.
Many new players have been signed and
will report here for trial during the next
few weeks The captain of the Pho
neers has not been secured, but the fans
Of this city may rest assured that good
man will be selected for this important
position, and every assurance is made
that Richmond will have in the field
this season ball team that will equal
any in the circuit.

ed EDUCATIONAL opportunities. Literature
