IMPORTANT RATE
 CASE IS DECIDED
JUDGE GOTHAM HELD 3-CEN1 RATE FROM FORT SMITH AN
 EVASION OF THE LAW.
Costs Two Gents @ Mile on the Night Train and Three Gents Mile on the Daylight Trains.

A court decision which has far reaching import, especially to Hot Springs and other Arkansas points, as it affects railway passenger rates, was handed down by Circuit Judge C.. T. Gotham yesterday afternoon, when he decided that the Scent passenger rate charged between Fort Smith and other Arkansas points on a portion of the Iron Mountain trains leaving that city, was an evasion of the 2-eent rate law. which latter rate should ap- ply
 The case was a peculiar one from many standpoints The style of the action was w. L. Spriggs vs. the St, Louis. Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Spriggs brought suit against the Iron Mountain for the statutory penalty i'll such cases, al leeing that he had been charged 3 cents mile between Fort Smith and Hot Springs, when the sttte law provided that 9 cents mile was the legal fare. Spriggs was represented in the case by II. P Chappelle. while Attorney Wiley of Little Rock looked after the railroads interests
 The history of the case is interes,- ing as it shows the many little ap- parent technicalities in the rate law and the several angles from which the railways have interpreted it.
 The Iron Mountain ope rates three passenger trains day out of Fort Smith to Arkansas points. Ore oi tEese leaving that city at midnight , runs all the way on Arkansas soil ! Two daylight trains run from Fort Smith to Greenwood Junction, just over the Oklahoma line, and then Lack into Arkansas for the remainder

oi the journey 10 Arkansas points. tn. der the law which governs interstate and intrastate passenger traffic the road charged two cents a mile on the midnight train, and three cents a mile on the trains which ran through Greenwood Junction
 Spriggs applied to the agent at Fort Smith for ticket to Hot Springs. He was informed of the varying rates on the different trains He did not want to travel by the midnight train and was compelled to pay 3 cents mile over the day trains via Greenwood Junction.
 Arriving at Hot Springs he con. suited counsel and filed suit against the road for the statutory penalty for violation of the 2-cent rate law The case was brought to trial in Judge Cotham's court and most of the day yesterday was spent in arguing mo tions, citing authorities and points oi law.
 Judge Gotham held that the prac. llCc Ol iue IdllIodu III CllaTSlnS lnltc cents mile on these trains consti- tuted an evasion of the law, and that the two cent rate should apply on all trains operated over this line from Fort Smith to Arkansas points. The statutory penalty is from $50 to S30U Judge Gotham rendered judgment against the railway for $l00 and $50 attorneys fees.
 The suit, which was in the nature of a test case, on point which has been in operation ever since the Unit ed States supreme court held the Ar kansas statute valid, was one which is of more than passing interest to travellers. Under the existing rue, if a passenger availed himself of the 2-cent rate he must of necessity leave Fort Smith on a train at midnight. If he chose the daylight trip he was compelled to pay the former rate, 3 cents a mile.
 Counsel for the railway announced that an appeal would be taken to the supreme court
