ILLINOIS CENTRAL LOSES 10 YR. SUIT
Should Pay Hundreds Of Thou
 sands Back Taxes
ONE MAN WORKED 10 YEARS
Judge Slough, Who Handled Final Action, Had Worked Continuous iy For the Past Fifteen Months Going Over Evidence.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Ottawa, H., Oct. 7.--In a decision in circuit court today, Judge S. c. Slough decided that the Illinois Gen. tral railroad should pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in state taxes in controversy for 16 years. He held that in accounting many millions of dollars were credited to lines of the company south of the Ohio river and west of the Mississippi river, instead of to the charter lines of the company, which under state law were to pay seven per cent taxes on earnings in Illinois in perpetuity for early grants of right of way.
 Dates Back to 1905
 The revenue and accounting of the railroad company for 1905 and 1906 was the direct issue, the years since being subject to the finding applicable to those years.
 For many years past, the court held, the railroad apportioned the joint earnings from interchanged traffic that the non-charter lines re- ceived from two to ten times more than the charter lines did for haul ing the. same traffic a mile and thus reduced the amount on which the ' per cent was computed.
 The case was brought against the company in 1908. In 1910 an ef- fort was made to have the state su- preme court take jurisdiction, but that court refused, and it was re- ferred to Judge Slough. He has been actively in charge more than 16 years.
 Six Years Taken
 Evidence before a master in chancery took six years.
 Attorneys for the state and com pany took six months before Judge Slough to make the arguments in continuous daily session from care fully prepared written briefs.
 The company employed 150 &C., countants and 1t took them year to obtain the information required to answer the interrogatories of the state in its bill of complaint. Gen eral Freight Agent Becker of the company spent ten years in connec- ton with the case.
 Judge Slough worked continuous ly on the case the last fifteen months, going through the volume of evidence and accounts to reach the 100 page decision announced.
