dressed to the Judges of the district

die district of Alabama, and embraces
more than 70 pages of typewritten mat
ter
The petition of the company sets out at
length the decree of Federal Judge
Thomas g. Jones in restraining the state
from enforcing the statuatory rates. and
gives a copy of the company's protest In
answer to the railroad commissions cita-
ton requiring the railroad company to
show cause why the commission should
not fix reasonable passenger rates. The
petition further sets out the various 1ea-
lures of the commissions recent ruling
recurring the railroad company to re-
establish the 2Is cents passenger rate,
maintaining that the "effect of said order
of the railroad commission of Alabama,
issued on the nineteenth day or FEBRUARY,
1873 is to take steps against complainant
to compel it to observe and enforce a
lower rate for the transportation or pas
sengers between points In Alabama VINO

roads, with which complainant's roads
connect, than was provided for such busi-
ness by the order of the railroad commits
sion of Alabama"
''That said order of the railroad COM
mission of Alabama made on the nine
teenth day of February, 1913, is an at
tempt to ignore the jurisdiction of this
honorable court with reference to the
intrastate passenger rates of complain
ant within the state of Alabama. and
to proceed regardless of the jurisdiction
of this honorable court, ETC."
In conclusion, the petition says:
s'Wherefore, said complainant, the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad COM
pany, asks that rule issue forthwith
against Charles Henderson, Leon McCord
and Frank N. Julian, to show cause why
they should not be punished as being in
contempt of a decree of this honorable
court, and that said Charles Henderson,
Leon McCord and frank N. Julian, con-
stituting the railroad commission OF Ala
bama. be commanded and enjoined to
annual and set aside said order made
by them as the railroad commission of
Alabama, and be commanded and en-
Joined to refrain from prescribing or es-

Separate Notices Served

Two separate notices were served
on the commission, each being ad-
dressed to Charles Henderson, Leon
McCord and Frank n. Julian. The first
notice contains the information that
the railroad company will apply to the
court for an order commanding and
enjoining you to annul and set aside
the order of the railroad commission of
Alabama made against the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad company on the

This notice states that the company

operation of said order of the COM
mission and that the commission be
enjoined from bringing any action In

against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company.
The second notice reads as follows.

HEARING COMES UP IN
MONTGOMERY FRIDAY
Petition Also Filed Seeking to Show
Cause Why Commission Stt.odId
Not Be Held in Contempt
- of C2Sfft

Montgomery, February s. (Special)-
Notice has been served upon the railroad
commission of Alabama by the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad company to the
effect that the railroad company will ap-
pear before the United States district
court here ON Friday, February 49, and
ask that the commission be enjoined
from enforcing It's recent order for the
re-establishment of the 21s cents passen-
ger rate, and that the commission snow
cause why 1t should not be held in con-
tempt of court in attempting to violate
a recent injunction of the federal court.
The notice of the railroad company was
served upon the state commission today.
The announcement of the railroads IN
tention to fight the recent decision OF the
railroad commission caused little sur
prise in official circles, inasmuch as 1t
had been known for several days, since
the return of District Attorney George
W. Jones from Louisville, that the rall-
road company would resist the enforce.
ment of the order.
1t was also understood that the rail-
road company would ask that the COM
mission show cause why it should not be
held in contempt of court, claiming that
the order of the commission, following
the recent injunction of Federal Judge
Thomas c. Jones, had the effect of yio'
lating that injunction.
On the other hand, the railroad COM
mission set out at length in its decision
that there was no violation of the spirit
of the courts injunction in view of the
fact that the commission had dealt pri-
marily with the passenger rate. whereas
the courts decree embraced the rates
jointly The commission held in its de-
cision that it had a right to show why
reasonable passenger rates should not be
fixed by that court maintaining that the
passenger rates and the freight rates
were entirely separate and distinct, but
that they had been handled Jointly ~
the court.
The hearing on next Friday is expected
to be of a most interesting nature, and
the state will doubtless be represented
by several special attorneys. The notice
of the railroad is that an application will
be made for an injunction, restraining
the state from carrying out the order OF
the railroad commission, and that the
commission be required to show why II
should not be held in contempt of court.
