JACKSON,
Acknowledgement Collins began the
oil mill probe by placing T. A. Rad
ford, the Newton, Miss, farmer, on the
stand, who testified that he began to
buy seed at Newton, Miss. as an indie
pendert seed buyer, ara that hi total
capital was $500. He sold his first two
carloads at a loss of 81 per ton, then
tried the business again, and after he
put all his money in seed it was a long
time before he could get any mill to
make him an offer. Finally he had to
sell his last two ears at a loss of Sc
per ton, which put him out of business.
The Encouragement introduced the
letter from Mr.. Hunt of the Newton
on mills requesting other mills not to
bid on Mr.. Radford's seed. as he only
had about $500, and that he wanted to
put him out Of business, so he would
not be of any further trouble to the
mills.
E. Calm, banker and president OF
the Eagle Cotton Oil company, was
then placed on the stand and testified
that there was an order known as the
Sons of Plato, and that at an aftermath
meetings of this fraternity members
Of the organization fixed the price Of
seed and that the oil mills in Missis-
sippi had agreements as to what they
should pay for seed, also that the oil
mills maintained a statistical bureau,
and that the mills were assessed &C
cording to the number of tons of seed
they crushed.
When asked why the Sons Of Plato
never held their meetings In MISSISSIPPI
pi, he said that they always held them
In Memphis, New Orleans and Birming-
him, because there was nothing to
drink in Mississippi, and because they
thought it would be illegal to hold the
meetings in Mississippi. Mr.. Calm
identified 1870 letters and practically
admitted everything that the attorney

According to a decree received by
Clerk l.. B. Moseley Of the United
States court, rendered by a bench OF
three judges Of that court, Circuit
Judge r. W. Walker and District
Judges Rhyden M. Call and Henry G.
Niles Of Louisiana and Mississippi, re-
spectively, the privilege tax levied
against the Mobile & Ohio and the
Southern railway in Mississippi by the
railroad commission is confiscatory,
unconstitutional, class legislation and
a taking of property without due proc
ess of law. The decree or decision
was reached by the trio Of judges, be-
fore whom the application for a re-
straining order against Duncan l..
Thompson, state auditor. to prevent the
collection Of the state privilege tax lev
led against the corporations involved,
was argued some three weeks ago In
New Orleans.
Following the suing out Of an injunc-
ton by the Memphis e Charleston d.
vison of the Southern railway to re-
strain the collection Of a similar tax
levied by the railroad commission, and
while that last was still pending Vice
President and General Manager II. V.
Taylor of the Mobile G. Ohio and the

the instant case, and a hearing before
three judges was asked for and
granted.
