INJUNCTION IS DENIED
RAILROADS IN ILLINOIS
Order Asking Restraint From En-.
forcing Two-Cent Rate Refused
Without Prejudice"
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. January 6.-Decision of
three judges Of the United States dis
trict court sitting banc here in the
Illinois two-cent fare case today does not
settle the litigation. but clears the legal
decks for the real controversy, according
to statement issued by counsel for the
railroads tonight.
Twenty-eight railroads operating In
Illinois sued for an injunction against
the public utilities commission to re-
strain 1t from enforcing the Illinois law,
which is said to conflict with rate of
"a cents set by the interstate commerce
commission.
The judges denied the petition with
out prejudice" and indicated that the
burden Of attacking the problem rests
with the utilities commission.
The immediate effect of todays pro-
ceedtngs was to pave the way for a de-
cision by Judge Lands On an applica-
tfon for permanent injunction. In this
way decision on the merits of the case
is expected to be attained, with de-
cision by the Supreme Court in ultimate
view. Cases OF similar nature have
been to the upper court before. but the
present one Is said to present the clear
those of the federal government. Ten
states other than Illinois have two-cent
fare laws, namely Ohio, Indiana. Iowa.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Mis-
souri,. Kansas, Oklahoma and Michigan.
All are watching the pending case.
The new hearing by Judge Lands will
begin Tuesday.

Many Presidents have been chosen since its
introduction to humanity.
The greatest industrial development took place
during this period, the most wonderful inventions
conceived by man were brought out or put into
general use.
In the age of Sloan's Liniment these events
have become history:
The Washington Monument dedicated.
The Brooklyn Bridge opened to traffic.
Statue of Liberty erected
The North and South Poles discovered.
The first international yacht race was held.
Maud S. made her record of 2.08A.
Queen Victoria. General Grant, Emperors
Frederick. William. Popes Leo and Plus. and
long list of world figures died.
The telephone became part Of the daily life.
Linotype operated the modern newspaper. The
electric light illuminated our cities. The Panama
Canal was dug. The motion picture arrived.
Drivers of horse cars who used Sloan's Liniment
for aching muscles and stiffened joints, then be-
came motormen on the pioneer trolley cars:
In the span of years covered by this remedy the
automobile has taken the place Of the horse; the
flying machine has carried the battles of men into
the skies; wireless teleeraphy has made captive the
ether waves Of space; the phono&raph was born.
The age of concrete and steel came and sky
scrapers filled the land.
Sloan's Liniment went through the Cuban war.

Japan. the Russo-Japanese war. the Boer war, the

the horses rarely made fifty feet before

The long surves of the road were all

Shells and food were going forward ana
the wounded were coming back.
Sometimes all traffic would stop Tor
a moment. The big carts and the iittie
carts and the wagons would pull TO
the inside of the road. The muleteers
would jam the noses Of their beasts
fairly into the hillside. The OK drivers
clubbed their beasts over the horns
until they left a clear track on the ex-
treme outside of the trail. Below there
might be only muddy gulch, or there
might be a ravine, and here and there
were sharp drops of fifty feet or more:

Mules Bearing Litters.
Along this path sometimes paced the
mules bearing litters. Some bore
chairs in which two wounded men rode,
one on either side, holding on to each
other in a fashion pitiful to see. Some
times we met litters in which the men
rode on either side of the mules in
beds rather horribly resembling cof-
