announcement created the widest pos
sible interest in official circles at the
capitol Much qualification was ex-
pressed by capitol attaches, and the
decision was regarded as probably the
| first distinct victory the state has yet
achieved in the rate litigation that
has been in progress for the past sew
eral years.
| It is not yet known whether the
Louisville and Nashville railroad will
appeal to the district court. George
| w. Jones, local attorney<for the Louis
| Vile and Nashville, was at the cap
| itcl when the news of Judge Grubb's
decision was received, and he was asked
what the railroad company would prob
ably do
Mr.. Jones replied that he did not
know, though he left the impression
that the fight was not yet ended. He
said he expected to receive a copy of
Judge Grubb's decision on the night
train
1t is probable that the order of the
| commission, which was Issued on Feb
ruary 10, last, will become effective on
May 20. At the request of Judge Grubb
for more time in which to write his
opinion in the case, the commission eX-
tended the time before the order should
| become effective until May 20, making
the second extension which the COM
mission had made.
The decision of the railroad commits
sion in the Western of Alabama rate
| case will be announced at an early
date, according to information given
out at the offices of the commission
| Monday Argument in the Western
rate case was heard shortly after the
| Louisville and Nashville case
| Following the decision in the West
ern case, the commission will take up
the Central of Georgia rate case and
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railroad case. These roads also
were cited to show cause why the COM
mission should not fix reasonable pas
senger rates on their lines in Ala
lbama.

TWO LIFE VERD|CTS
AGAINST SAME MAN
Negro Is Found Guilty Of
Highway Robbery in
Two Cases

Ely Jordan, a negro, was found guilty
in two cases of highway robbery and
was given a life sentence in each by a
jury in the first division of the criminal
court yesterday Judge w. E. Fort pre-
siding.
The negro was charged with holding
up and robbng two Italian merchants
on the county road leading to Ensley. The
robberies occurred at different times, and
at different places. The negro was sus-
pected of the crimes and his arrest and
Indictment by the grand jury followed.
BY agreement between counsel for the
state and his attorney both cases were
tried at the same time with the result
that he was found guilty in both instances
and given the life sentence in each. Cir
cult Solicitor Joseph r. Tate and Samuel
E, Sterne represented the state. j. Afford
Glover was attorney for the defendant
When the jury returned their verdict
Judge Fort made the statement that in
the event the cases has been tried sepa-
rately and a verdict of life Imprisonment
had been returned in the first trial. IL on
the second trial the defendant was found
guilty the verdict would have to be for
a higher penalty. He stated, however,
that as the opposing counsel had agreed
to try the cases together the verdict was
regular.
In order to expedite the work of clearing
the heavy docket set for the week Judge
Fort will convene court at $50 this morn
ing and will take up one of the cases
set for today

The largest sized shells will squafe about three inches. These sell for from $4 to $5 thousand, according to quality.

ADVANCE IN ATHLETICS
 IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. French Cabinet Favcrs Establishment of Office for Cultivation of Sport.

Cable despatches from France inti- mating that there is possibility of the French cabinet requesting parlia- nent to create an office the occupant of which shall devote his time and talent tc the direction and cultivation O. athletics and sports, is but another illustration of the lengths to which European countries are going in theIr desire to foster anna teur athletic com retit.on
 IL has been repeatedly stated by American athletic authorities that Ed- ropean countries are advancing so rapidly in athletics that by the time the Olympic games of 1914 are held the United States team will no longer be an overwhelming favorite for the first Ilace in point of score tables.
 Incidentally. these same students of amateur and professional sport in America have already predicted that eventually there will be a place in. the presidents cabinet for a secretary of recreation" This is not so absurd as it may appear at first sight. Almost every city of any size in the United States today has playground com mission, or similar body or lndivid- ual whose duty 1t is to prepare for and govern the activities of the chil- dren in he city parks and playgrounds. The recreative center idea is rapidly spreading, and more space is being devoted to children and pastime work each year. Who shall say that in 1944 "ministeas of athletics,'' representing perhaps dozen countries, may not meet at the Hague tribunal to consid- CT new rules for the international game of baseball?

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
LOSS ES GEN ERAL.
Most of the Representative Stocks
 Drop Point or More.

New York, June 1s.-In spite of the reSolute advance of stocks late last week and the evidences of increased buying power, the market today show ed none of It's recent resifiency. There was some difference of opinion, which the course of the days trading did not entirely clear up, whether the buoyant upIUrn was merely 8 temporary reac- ton from the acute depression which preceded 1t, brought about largely by an oyersoid condition. or whether it neralued returning confidence and a betterment in fundamental conditions.
 On the assumption that the rise would proceed further, bull traders bid up the list in the early trading: but It was evident that outside buying had diminished and that the market was receiving little support aside from that given by the professional element. Snort selling was resumed and the market turned downward.
 The decline was accelerated by the interpretation placed by the street up- on the supreme courts decisions in several rate cases, the most importa mt of which-the Missouri case-followed closely the lines of the Minnesota, case With the decisions against the railroads in majority of the cases. traders attacked the railroad list and succeeded in forcing material reces- sions. Missouri Pacific. one of the roads affected directly by the Missouri case, fell three points. Chesapeake S, Ohio dropped two points on the an- nouncement that the supreme court had sustained the two-cent passenger fare law in West Virginia Losses of point or so were inflicted upon many of the representative stocks.
 Union Pacific was under measure and selling apparently was influenced by gossip to the effect that the at torney general would oppose any plan for dissolution of the Hartman sys- tenn which did not dispose of Central Pacific. Canadian Pacific was weak but there was no evidence of renewed selling of this stock for foreign ac- count. London traded fn about 10000 shares here, mostly purctases.
