State Supreme Court Rules
in Favor of Lines in
Rebate Action.
CAN NOT COLLECT
EXCESS CHARGES
Action Brought by State in Behalf Of
Shippers Thrown Out Of Court by
Decision State Sought to Re-
cover Excess Passenger and Freight
Charges Exacted During Time State
Laws Were Under Test in Court.

Jefferson City, June 29.-The Mis-
souri, supreme court today sustained
the demurrer of the Chicago s. Alton
railroad against the suit of the state to
recover $2,OOo,ooO in alleged excess
fares collected while the cent rate and
maximum freight laws were in litiga-
tion.
The decision was construed as set
ting out the policy Of the court in deal
ing with the suits brought by Attorney
General Barker against all the trunk
lines of the state.
The decision throws the suit against
the Chicago & Alton out of court. The
attorney general claimed the state had
right to bring suit for the shippers
for all excess fares collected.
The federal supreme court upheld the
2-cent passenger rate law and the
minimum freight law, and the railroads
cut the passenger fares from " to 2
cents, but no arrangement was made
to refund excess fares collected while
the case was in litigation. The at
torney general filed suit for $2,OOO,OOO
each against twelve trunk lines.

to light today. About a month ago
a carload Of beans was imported from

A practice frequently resorted to by
Monterey residents is to refill with ma

Running Business.

New York, June 29.-The marine as
seciation of the port Of New York,
numbering 500 representatives Of do
mestic and foreign steamship lines.
was prepared today to appeal to Presi-
dent Wilson urging him to call a spe-
cial session Of congress to repeal the
seaman's law. In a resolution. copy
OF which was sent to the president. 1t
was set forth that an enforcement of
this law would be most disastrous in
effect and It's drastic provisions viii
defeat the very purposes for which 1t
was said to be enacted" The situation
is so critical to shipping interests, 1t
is asserted, as Ito warrant and justify
the president in calling an extra ses
sion of congress for a repeal of this
law before its ruinous provisions shall
become effective"
Unless the law Is repealed. the asso-
citation asserts. long established lines
will, of necessity, be withdrawn and
other lines heavily handicapped. Copies
of the resolutions were sent to every
commercial organization along the At
lantic seaboard.
