"An automobile seems to be great

US. SUPREME COURT
Brickell, Weakley and Sell
heimer Represent State in
Application of Road
for a Supersedeas
BY L. $. BETTY

Montgomery, September 17.-(SpeciaD
Attorney General Robert G. Brickeil left,
tonight for Washington, where he Will
represent the state at the hearing before
Mr. Justice Lamar of the United States
supreme court on the application of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad COM
pany for a supercedeas against the en-
forcement of the Alabama railroad COM
mission order for a 2l5 cents passenger
rate pending an appeal to that tribunal
In addition to the attorney general the
state will be represented at the hearing
in Washington by Judge Samuel u.
Weakley and II. C. Selheimer both OF
Birmingham, who will join Mr. Brickei
in Washington.
The direct appeal to the United states
supreme court is the result of Judge W.
l. Grubbs' decision denying an applica-
tior for a supercedeas, recently filed by
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company This action on the part of the
railroad represents the highest step the
company has taken in the present hgnt
against the state in the rate, litigation,
brought on as the result of the eommls-
sion's order requiring the introduction Of
a 2la cents passenger rate.
Mr. Justice Lamar has appellate juris-
diction over the districts of northern
Georgia; southern Georgia, northern, midi
die and southern Alabama, southern Mis-
sissippi and other southern states.
The argument will be heard by him
some time during the present week.
The rate litigation against the Louis
Vile and Nashville has already passed
through several stages:
First, ordered by the railroad commits
sion to establish a 21a cents passenger
rate. Judge w. |. Grubb granted tenn
porary suspension of the order pending
hearing at Atlanta before three federal
Judges The judges decided in favor Of
the state and a lower rate was put into
effect. The next move of the railroad
company was an application for super
cedeas pending an appeal to the United
States supreme court. The supercedeas
was denied in a decision put out by Judge
Grubb last Saturday whereupon the rail-
road company Immediately filed an appli-
cation with Mr.. Justice Lamar for SUI
percedeas pending the outcome of the lit
igation in the highest court in the land.
Should Mr.. Justice Lamar deny the
petitioners a supercedeas the railroad
company will have no other course except
direct appeal to the United States SUI
preme court. during which time the lower
passenger rate will remain in effect.

deadlock yielded to the senate.
The senate also free listed slabs
blooms, loops and other products OF
iron more advanced than pig iron,
which the house had made dutiable at
8 per cent. The conference agreed to
this. The senate cut the duty on round
iron or steel wire from 20 per cent in
the house bill to 10 per cent, and the
conference accepted the senate reduc.
ton.
Agricultural Schedule.
The conference committee agreed tC
the senate amendment. which struck
out the 10 per cent duty on cattle pro.
vided by the house bill and the 10 pei
cent rate on sheep and transferring
both to the free list. The conference
committee also put wheat OH the free
list, where the senate had placed It
by striking out a duty of 10 cents q
bushel provided by the house bill.
The house Won a victory in the duty
on lemons and other citrus fruit when
the conference committee restored the
classification based on the cubic feet
of the containers in which such prod
ucts are imported. which results In q
slight decrease Of the duty.
The senate also lost in the struggle
over a proposed duty on bananas when
the conference committee struck out
the senate rate and restored bananas
to the free list Of the house bill.
Wooden Schedule.
Very few changes were made In the
wooden schedule. The senate was sus-
tanned by the conference committee in
its amendments fixing the dates when
wool duties shall 60 into effect. Com
promises were made by the conference
committee between senate and house
rates, by which wool tops will bear a
duty of 10 per cent and yarns a duty
of IS per cent.
The senate sought to reduce the duty
on wooden blankets and to free list
blankets valued at not more than 40
cents a pound, but the conference com
mittee rejected the amendment, and
all blankets will bear duty at 25 per
cent ad valOrem. The house rates Of
30 per cent nd valorem on carpets and
rugs were adopted by the conference.
A compromise was reached on the
paragraphs relating to angora goat
hair, alpaca. by which the hair will
pay a duty Of Is per cent: tops from
such hair. 25 per cent, and pushes, vel
vet and other fabrics. As per cent.
sundries.
The conference committee adopted
the action Of the senate, placing full
inmates and %gunpowder on the free
list. There was a compromise on the
paragraph relating to furs, but general
ly the house rates were restored.
The senate rates prevailed as to lace
by having restored the paragraph in
the house bill covering chamois skins
and glove feathers, by which the for
mer were made dutiable at Is per cent.
and the latter at 10 per cent. There
was a compromise ON the glove sched-
ule between senate and house rates
and the senate's action in free listing
harness, saddles and saddlery parts
was approved by the conference COM
mittee, although the house bill had
made them dutiable at 20 per cent.
The only substantial victory Won by
the house In the free list was as to
free art.
