Little Rock


Judge Trieber in the Federal Court
made perpetual the temporary injunc-
ton he issued several years ago, re-
straining the state from enforcing the
two-cent passenger rate and the stand
ard distance freight tariff schedules
against the Frisco Railroad
BY agreement made between the
parties at the time the suit was insti-
tuted the order will also apply to the
Kansas City Southern Railroad. Judge
Trieber held that the passenger and
freight rates as applied to the Frisco
was conflscatory. The Legislature OF
1907 passed law fixing the maximum
passenger rate at two cents per mile
In Arkansas. The Iron Mountain and
Cotton Belt Railroads filed an injunc,
tion suit against the enforcement OF
the rate and temporary injunction
was granted at ST. Paul by Judge Van,
deventer This injunction was in this
case upheld, and the railroads and the
state then appealed to the Supreme
Court Of the United States. This trib.
pnal reversed Judge Triebers ruling,
declaring that the railroads had not
produced sufficient evidence to show
that the rates were conhscatory and
the case was returned to the lower
court,
Exhibits by the railroad company
show that, covering period Of four
years, the intrastate freight receipts
were S1,045,1S250 and the intrastate
passenger receipts s2,6S, ,O95,50, while
the interstate freight receipts were
$10,l60,S340l, and the interstate pas
songer receipts were Sl3,l41 ,5564l, Be.
sides this there were mail and express

ATTEMPT To BLOW
UP HEADQUARTERS
Field Marshal FrenCh'S Report
of the Battle of CooS is
Not Complete.

LONDON. Nov. 23.-Fleld Marshal
SIR John French's recent dispatch on
the battle OF Loos doesn't contain
mention OF the most anxious moment
had during the fight That moment
vas when two German airmen at
tempted to blow up the British head
quarters.
The attack took place according to
a wounded London territorial who has
been invaded home When the Ger
mans made their cOunter-attack
against the Hohenzolen redOubt
during the afternoon Of oct 8. Sir
John French was at Vermelles. just
behind the firing line, when a dis
patch rider dashed up with the news
that the Germans were concentrating
from Heisnes to Hulluch.
At the same moment two German
taubes we're seen lowering over the
British lines. Antf-aircraft guns we're
brought 10 bear upon them but they
sailed along unhit swoOping down
here and there evidently looking for
some point at which they wanted 10
drop bombs.
No British airnen were available at
the moment 10 beat off the Germans,
and as they drew near Vermelles
French's staff had an uneasy feeling
that they themselves were the objec-
tive. They were standing in the open
near Pit No. when one % the taubes
flew overhead. and circled around
Il wonder what that FELLOW wants"
remarked one OF staff TO French
He wants me-" said French grimly.
AS he spoke he walked forward sew
eral yards. A moment later a bomb
dropped a hundred yards TO the rear,
demolishing a small house in which
were the plans and baggage Of the
staff. French called 20 one Of his
officers TO get the horses up, and the
whole staff gallOped forward.
But the taube followed them, and
was soon Joined by its companion
They swooped down within 500 yards
OF the ground and Logan to pelt the
gallOping staff with bombs. one
bomb smashed into the road ahead
and caused the officers TO leap
hedge into a meadow. They contin-
ued Over the fields till they reached

when a British flying machine ap-
peared, coming at "A great speed
The taubes rose and tried to make
