4 STATES WIN IN
RATE FIGHTS;
ONE LOSES
Supreme Court Decisions Against
Railroads Over Whole West.
Missouri Victory Partial.

WASHINGTON. June 16.-Four
States won victories and one lost
to-day in railroad rate decisions rem
dered by the United States Supreme
Court.
In the Missouri cases the State
won a partial victory. Six of nine de-
cisions were against the railroads.
There was no decision in the Nash
vile grain case.
The 2-cent passenger rate law OF
1907 of the State of West Virginia
was declared valid The Chesapeake
and Ohio sought an injunction on the
same grounds as those relied on by
railroads in other States that have
unsuccessfully fought the law.
Oregon Rates Upheld.
The Oregon rate cases, brought by
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company, were decided in favor Of
the State
The Arkansas State rate was de-
clared constitutional.
The Kansas law fixing a minimum
rate for the transportation Of oil and
fixing severe penalties for excess
charges was held unconstitutional
The six roads which will have to
abide by maximum rates fixed by
Missouri are the Chicago Burlington
and Quincy; the Sante Fe; Kansas
City Southern; Missouri, Kansas and
Texas; Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cific, including the st. Louis Kansas
City and Coloroda and the st. Louis
and San Francisco.
Three Cases Lost.
In three Missouri cases the rates
were held to be confiscatory, the st.
Louis and Hannibal, the Kansas city,
Clinton and Sprir ofield and the Chi
cago and Great Western.
The decision in the Missouri cases
follows the principles laid down by
the Minnesota cases. The right Of
the State to regulate intrastate com
merce is upheld. The rates so fixed
were held not to be cOnfiscat0ry, eX-
cept i'm the cases Of the smaller

Rites To Be Simple at
Mrs. Bryan'S Burial

Simplicity will mark the funeral of
Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, one Of the
South's leading women writer's who
died Sunday night at her home in
Charleston, Ga. Many prominent per
sons, however, will be present to pay
their last respects to the pioneer au-
thoress.
Mrs. Bryan's prolific pen has touch
ed the hearts of Southern people for
the past half century. Besides con
tributing to many magazines, she also
published AZ books.

great success Shortly before her
DEATH Mrs Bryan's held the position
IF editor of The Fireside Companion,
in which position she is said to have
received a salary of $4,000 a year,
probably one of the highest ever paid

Mrs Bryan first gained recognition
in the literary world when her work
appeared in SCOTS Magazine, which
was published shortly after the Civil
War. Later she went with The Sun
ny South fer which periodicals she
wrote for twelve years. When this
magazine was taken over by Uncle
Remus' Magazine, Mrs. Bryan became
editor of a department in the latter.
1t was during her connection with the
Uncle Remus periodical that Mrs.
Bryan's most appealing work was &C
Complished
Through her magazine articles and
poetry she won the hearts of the le-
giOns of her readers Rapidly she
arose to national prominence. Her
novels and books Of the Southland
have found themselves into the libra
ries of every city of the world.
Mrs. Bryan is survived by her three
children, Mrs Pearl Byrd. of Clark
ston; Mrs. c. A. Wilson, of st. Louis
and Fred Bryan, of Charleston.

PUT
Up To COUNCIL
BY MAYOR
Neither Approves Nor Disapproves
Resolution Calling for Option
on Electric Feature.

In notifying Council of his approval
f the June budget and the purchase
# the s26O,OOO crematory. Mayor
Woodward Monday washed his
hands" Of that part of the old Gre
matory contract providing a 100000
electric power plant in connection
with the incinerator.
The Mayor notified Council he
would take no action whatever on
the resolution of Alderman Nutting
and Councilman Mason calling for an
option from the Destructor Compa-
ny on the electric feature. Because
he took no action the resolution au-
tomatically goes into effect.
Mayor Woodward's special mes
sage reads:
q return the accompanying three
resolutions passed at your session of
June 2, 1918, without my signature OF
approval or disapproval.
The whole subject matter con-
tanned in all three Of the resolutions
can be carried out by the framing Of
a contract with the Destructor Com
pany incorporating the different mat
tiers contained in the resolutions.
BY careful reading Of the different
resolutions, it will be noted that your
honorable body has repeatedly men
toned the contract entered into in
1912, which the Supreme Court of this
State has decided illegal and void and
ordered an injunction against the
further carrying on Of the Destructor
plant under the provisions of that
contract Under that condition Of
things. / feel that l am enjoined
against any measure that may be
looking to the fulfllment of that con-
tract. All of the provisions specified
in the different resolutions can be
placed in a new contract to be en-
tered into by your general body.
I'm returning these papers to the
General Council in this manner
hope that my position is fully under
stood. While ! do not believe that
the city has received full benefit from
this transaction, yet ] do not feel dis
posed to interfere further If the new
contract is so constructed as to give
the city the benefit of all of the con-
Cessions enumerated
