REsERVING OF DECISION IN At
LANTlc RAILROAD CASE
PLEAsEs COMMISSION. t'
JUDGE WADE AWAITS DIS
TRIcT COURT RULINGS
Decision Will be Withheld by Judge
Wade Until Resources Of State
Courts are Exhausted--Suit Now
Pending in State Court at Des
Mones and Wade Expects Appeal to
Federal Court. ..

| Council Bluffs, Jan. 29.-Until the re-
exhausted Judge Martin j. Wade Of
! the United States court of the south
ern district OF Iowa will reserve deci-
sion on the application of Rober;
Abeles. of ST. Louis, Mo. for an in
junction. restraining the Iowa railway
commission from enforcing its order
directing the Atlantic Southern rail
way TO operate trains over that portion
OF its line between Lyman in Cass
county and. Nillisca, Montgomery
county.
Judge Wades announcement came
| Thursday afternoon at the close Of the
hearing begun Tuesday morning before
him in d special session Of his court
in Council Bluffs. He said. regarding
the commissions contention. attacking
the jurisdiction of the federal court.
that the case clearly is within his
jurisdiction, but that the question at
present is not Of jurisdiction but of
comfy between the state and fedora:
courts.
He adverted TO the fact that there is
now pending in the state court of the
district Of Polk county at Des Moines.
a suit brought by Abeles to enjoin
the state railway commission from en-
forcing its order. He quoted numerous
rulings and decisions in the federal
courts applicable to the case at bar and
repeated that there can be no question
OF the jurisdiction of his court after
the state courts have said their last
word, but that until the case pending
in the Polk county district court has
y, = -
decision in the case brought before
him. If, after the state courts have fin
iShed with the case. the complainant
wishes TO revive the present suit. L
will eventually be decided on its merits
by the federal court.
Not Considering Merits.
Judge Wade emphasized the fac.
that he is not going into the merits Of
the case. which must come up in the
eventually OF renewal OF the case in
his court. He pointed out that there
is no danger of action on the part of
the commission which could be con-
strued as conhscatory in It's nature.
since the order of the commission is in
suspension pending the outcome of the
suit in Polk county courts. .
The case brought in the federal court
thus goes into allegiance until after
the state courts have finished with the
injunction suit there pending. The ex-
listing situation with regard To train
service will continue as at present.
with no train service until the state
court shall have rendered a decision.
The ruling Of Judge Wade was re-
ceived by the attorneys for the COM
mission and for the farmers and bust
ness men along the line OF the road as
partial victory, for the reason that
it leaves the case in the state courts.
sltho the federal court in no way re-
linquishes its jurisdiction should the
case be carried thru the state tribunals
to the United States courts.

Special to Tim es Republican
Iowa Falls. Jan. 29.-There is a
growing interest in this county in the
subject of the nomination and cleo
ton, this year. of two supervisors. It
is conceded that one of the two to be
selected should be from the north
part Of the county which is not rep
resented on the present board. To this
end, the public is looking for a man
who will be acceptable in the north
tier of townships. While no announce
ment has been made by any one seek
ing the nomination on either ticket,
there seems to be a strong sentiment in
favor OF urging ". E. Weldon, Of this
city, to accept the Office. Mr. Weldon
served for several months. last year,
by appointment. and proved his fitness
for the place by giving the county as
whole excellent service While Mr.
Weldon has declined to consider the
matter. ii is felt by his friends that IL
the public will accord him the NOM

the office, that he might accept.
