Barker Appeals Rate Suit.

Attorney General Barker an
nounced that he would refile his suit
to recover railroad overcharges for
the state, shippers and passengers,
collected during pendency of the Nc
Pherson injunction against the new
rate laws, in the supreme court Of
the United States.
He lost suits of this character in
the Missouri supreme court. His petit
tions were knocked out on demurrer,
the court began holding he had no
authority to represent passengers and
shippers. He sued for $24, 100000, or
$2,000,000 from each road.
Barker says he has authority un-
der the federal constitution to file
directly in the United States su-
preme court. The suit will be filed
within the next two or three weeks,
he declared.
He declared the decision of the
Missouri supreme court that he
could not represent shippers and
passengers could not operate to tie

Beer Taxes Decrease.

Tax receipts for beer consumed in
Missouri during October were COM
piled by State Beer Inspector Speed
Mosby.
The total is $35,937.16, as against
$39, ,446.79 year ago, a decrease of
$3,5O9.63.
This decrease is in keeping with
the general falling off of the con-
sumption of beer in the state, as indi-
Gated by the inspection tax all dur
ing the year.
In the first 10 months the beer tax
has fallen off $7O,749.S7, as compared
with the first ten months of 1914.

RoIIa School Asks Ruling.

RolIa School Asks Ruling.
The case of Harry T. Heimberger
against the board of curators Of the
University Of Missouri was argued
and submitted in the supreme court
en- banc. Frank H. Farris and Judge
G. G. Bland of Rolla appeared for the
School of Mines, and Orville M. Bar
nette and Charles e. Yeater of Sc
dalia for the university curators.
This case is a mandamus suit to
compel the curators to put into et-
feet the Buford act passed by the
last legislature authorizing the
School of Mines and Metallurgy at
Rolla, to so enlarge its course of
study as to confer the degrees of
chemical, electrical and mechanical
engineering.
The passage of the act was bitterly
fought in the general assembly.
Friends of the university declared it
was blow aimed at the institution.
Friends of the School of Mines at
Rolla contended that school could be
enlarged without in any way impair
ing the university.
The curators declined to apply the
Buford law and the suit was brought
to compel them to recognize it.
1t was contended in the presentation
of the case in behalf of the School of
Mines that If the Buford act is consti-
tutional, its effect for good or evil
cannot enter into the disposition of
the case by the court. 1t was argued
that the legislature alone is respon-
sible for the evil effects, if any should
follow its enforcement.
