Judge Hays Tells Court
County Will Take an Ap-
peal In Case.
RANNEY DECISION
is NOW SET ASIDE
Dead Jurist Held People Should
Not Bear Burden Of
Drainage Co.

Judge Frank p. Kelly in the Circuit
Court at Jackson yesterday announced
orally that he had decided the County
would have to bridge the county roads
where the Little River Drainage Dis
trict cuts its channel through them.
His opinion will not become efrec-
tive until tomorrow, when he announc-
ed he would render his decision in
writing. This verdict will save the
Observation-Disclosures interests an
expenditure of 100000, if Judge Kel-
ly's decision is sustained by the Su-
preme Court, where it will be taken
upon an appeal by the attorneys for
the County.
Judge Edward D. Hays, chief coun-
sci for the County, made an appeal to
the court, asking that his Judgment
for the Drainage District be suspend
ed pending the result of the County's
appeal. Judge Kelly did not finally
pass upon this request. but it is quite
likely tFSt his written decision will
dispose of it.
with all due respect to the courts
opinion" began Judge Hays, "the at
tOrneys for the County still believe
their cause is Just and will ask for an
appeal to the Supreme Court
"Under the general procedure of
law, the decision of a circuit court in
an Injunction suit must prevail until
the case is decided in the Supreme
Court. As soon as the Drainage Dis
trict learns of your decision in favor
of the district, feel they will proceed
to mutilate the highways and do the
County an irreparable damage and
one which could not be restored even
should the present decision be re-
versed.
''In the case Of the State vs.. Deer
ing, Missouri Reports $50, page -,
the law provides where a circuit Judge
diSsOlves an Injunction and decree of
dissolution the Judgment is final, yet
if he believes that the plaintiff in the
case would suffer damage that could
not be restored by the vindication of
the plaintiffs contention in appeal,
the court has the right to make an
order that the final Judgment of dis
solution of the Injunction shall be sus-
pended pending the appeal"
Judge Hays asked Judge Kelly to
make this order, and the court init
mated that the request might be
granted, but if it was it would not
apply to the Zalma-Allenville road,
which point has been reached by the
drainage crew. This road will be sew
cred probably tomorrow afternoon or
Sunday.
Judge Kelly told the attorneys that
while he did not believe the law was
fair to the people, he could not favor
the County in the case, because the
statutes were against the County's
contention.
The courts verdict was a big vic
tory for the Little River Drainage
District. According to Highway En-
gineer Scivally, it represents an ex-
penditure of $4,000 to the tax payers
of the County. Roads that are cut
by the drainage people cannot be
permanently bridged until the voters
of the County have passed bond
issue appropriating the money. The

CAR SHORTAGE
CAUSES PLANTS
TO CLOSE DOWN
Production of Cape Factories
Is Curtailed by Lack
of Cars.
SOUTHERN LUMBER
MILLS HIT HARD
Frisco Concentrating Refrigera-
tor Cars Around
Springfield.

A shortage in the supply of railroad
freight cars that has become appar-
ent in the East and Middle West. as
well as South, and has received the
attention of traffic experts of nearly
every railroad, for several weeks has
made itself felt upon Cape Girardeau
manufacturing concerns doing heavy
shipping out Of the Cape.
The shortage has assumed such
proportions that 1t threatens, in some
instances, to curtail production, and in
Louisiana, reports have been received
in the Cape, many lumber mills have
been closed down entirely on account
of the lack Of cars with which to
handle the output.
In this city one of the largest ship
ping concerns, the Cement plant, has
been unable to fill some of its orders
on account of the inability to get cars.
About half the number of cars that
the Cement plant asks of the Frisco
daily has been furnished, and about
two weeks ago the proportion was less
than half.
Other shipping companies are af-
fected in the same way, many of them
receiving less consideration at the
hands of the traffic men than the
cement plant.
The cement plant has asked for
from II to - cars a day, but has
received only 6 and s. The supply
was curtailed up until two weeks ago,
when the officials of the plant showed
the Frisco officials that each car sent
to the cement plant was staying there
an average of 20 hours, whereas under
the per diem rules the plant would be
allowed to hold the car As hours be-
fore demurrage started.
Following this exhibition the cement
plant has been able to get more cars.
The car shortage this spring is
caused By many different traffic situ-
ations. The shortage in the Louisiana,
Mississippi and Tennessee numbering
districts is caused by an absence of
cars in New Orleans that have been
sent there loaded with products to be
exported aboard ship from that city.
In that way the war situation has
aided in causing a car shortage in
that district. Under normal shipping
conditions many cars are sent loaded
with foreign cargoes to New Orleans.
The moment they are unloaded at the
steamship docks they are available for
northbound tarffic and are sent to the
lumber mills in the adjacent states
for loading.
This expectation has been cut off,
with the result that the cars are not
reaching that section of the country
in the numbers that they used to
move. A shutdown in many lumber
mills has been the result.
In Missouri the Frisco railroad is
concentrating refrigerator cars around
Springfield in preparation for berry
shipments. The refrigerator cars
have been used for shipping various
kinds of merchandise besides food
stuffS.
Building activity in Southeast Mis-
souri, and likewise in Arkansas and
Louisiana has increased the demand
for cars here for shipping building ma
terials. In Southeast Missouri alone
eight concrete grain elevators are in
course of construction, demanding in
the aggregate considerable tonnage in
building materials.

London, May 4.-The French have
extended their gains in the region of
Dead Man Hill and have repulsed the
German attacks in new positions, the
War Office announced tonight. The
midnight statement from Paris re-
ported a terrific bombardment of Hill
3O4, but further east the French con-
tinue to make successes.
Loss of ground southwest of Dead
Man Hill is admitted by Berlin in the
night report. The German statement,
however, contends that the French at
tacks on the slopes to the west were
repuIsed. A report reached London
today that the Germans have ordered
the civil population to evacuate Metz,
the capital of Lorraine and one of the
strongest fortresses in the world. The
British headquarters report only small
engagements.
