ORDER TYING UP

Anderson Denies Immediate
Ban on Interference With
Federal Boost.
SETS HEARING FEB. q

Hearing on the application Of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad for a temporary
injunction against the public service
commission of Indiana and Z. S. Lesh,
attorney general for Indiana, to prevent
the State authorities from interfering
with the order of the Interstate COm-
merce Commission issued Thursday by
which intraState passenger aud freight
rates for Indiana are raised to level
with interstate rates. was set f,.r Monday
morning at 10 o'clock by Judge albert
B. Anderson in Federal Court today after
he had refused to grant a temporary re-
straining order.
The case will be heard before three
judges Judge Francis E. Baker and an
other judge from the Circuit Court Of
Appeals at Chicago and Judge Anderson.
Attorneys for the B. & o. came into
court apparently expecting to have an
easy victory. The bin Of complaint was
printed and practically was the same
used in similar suits decided in favor Of
the carriers in Illinois and Wisconsin.
From the manner in which Morrison R.
Waite. Cincinnati, general solicitor for
the railroad, presented his case it>>Tas
apparent he thought the proceedings little
more than a matter Of form.
ANDERSON NOT
MUCH IMPRESSED.
The line Of questioning pursued by
Judge Anderson and his remarks indi-
Gated early in the hearing. however, that
the court did not so regard 1t.
1.-THE mere fact that some one else has
granted an order Of this character -
Judge Anderson said, sis not sufficient
to make your case. I cannot see where
ha in
want to have this put into effect in the
face of opposition Of the State. You
will have to show me. You are asking
execution in advance Of judgment"
Attorney General Lesh opposed the re-
straining order on the ground that there
was no necessity in view of the fact the
State had no intention of taking any i'm
mediate steps in the matter. but would
wait until disposal of the injunction suit
fled Thursday by the public service com
mission to prevent the new rates from
biting put into effect.
ROADS FEAR
IRREPARABLE LOSS.
Attorneys for the railroads undertook
to show that the delay would cause an
''irreparable loss to the companies OF
about $4,000 a day"
This argument met with little ;ympa-
thy from the court.
''The shippers and passengers are the
ones who viii suffer the irrerara Bile loss
in case this restraining order is issued
and the higher rates are put into effect
and then later the question is decided
against you" Judge Anderson said.
"They never could get back their
money"
Suits exactly like the one filed by the
Baltimore & Ohio are being FLED by prac-
ticaIly every carrier IN indiana engaged
IN interstate traffic.
At the hearing the principal argument
for the railroad was made by Mr.. Waite
although attorneys for various other
roads broke In from time to time At
