l.. & N. PETITION
 FOR RATE INCREASE
 UNDER AMUSEMENT

Montgomery, June S.-(Special) Petition of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company to advance passen- ger rates on it's branch lines from 21s to 3 cents per mile was heard by the state railroad commission today and was taken under advisement.
 Only two witnesses were examined by the commission, G. w. Lamb of Louisville, assistant comptroller of the Louisville and Nashville, and w. A Russell of Louisville, passenger traf- fife manager of the same road. These two officials were on the stand the entire day e
 The testimony of Mir. Lamb and MT Russell was largely of a technical na- ture and had to do chiefly with the passenger earnings of the Louisville and Nashville on it's branch lines, which they claimed to have greatly faller off in the past year, owing to the general business depression throughout the country.
 The commission will announce d de- cision in the case later. The dock et this month was comparatively ligh and decisions in all the cases are ex. pected in few days.
