Diaz live. He sent him to Vera Cruz

soon freed in a farcical raid. his

RAILWAY RATES RESTORED
Mandate OF Supreme Court Put Into
Effect by the Federal Circuit
... Court Of Minnesota. Il

Quickly, without formality or red
tape, Judge C. "A. Willard of the Unit.

sitting at st. Paul, dismissed the cir.
cult court injunction against seven
railroads in the state and Officially re.

Grafton of the cases of the three roads
not affected by the mandates of the
supreme court.
The motion for the dismissal of the
injunctions was made by Attorney
Pierce Butler, representing the stock
holders of the roads involved.
The injunctions were granted to the
railroads in 1911 by Federal Judge w.
H. Sanborn of the circuit court, who
held the state rate law was unconsti-
tutional and contiscatory. The su-
preme court reversed this.
The roads against which the injunc-
tions were dismissed are: Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha, Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific, Chicago and
Northwestern and the 500. A decree
will be entered by the court in favor
of the state officers, attorney general
and the railroad and warehouse com.
missioners, dismissing the injunctions
against these roads and assessing the
costs for the trials.

A motion was made by the attorneys
that this road be permitted to change
some of its rates, not to conform with
the rate law of the state, but to meet
competition. The motion was granted
by Judge Willard.
Attorney Charles Donnelly, repre-
senting the Minnesota and 1nternation-
al Railroad company, appeared before
the court and explained the status OF
that road, which is not compelled by
the ruling of the court to make re-
duction of the passenger rate. The In
