damus in Suit Brought Against
Interstate Commerce Commission.

The Kansas City Southern Railway
Co. yesterday lost its appeal from the
refusal of the District Supreme Court
to grant a mandamus against the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
compel a valuation of all the prop
erty of the company. The District
Court of Appeals. in an opinion by
Chief Justice Martin, sustained the
action of the lower court.
The appellate tribunal declares that
the real relief sought by the company
is the vacating of the valuation and
the ordering of new valuations. This
clearly brings the case within the well
established rule, says the chief JUS
tice, that the action of mandamus
cannot be used as a substitute for an
appeal nor as writ or error. What
the company wanted the court to do
called for a review Of the proceedings
of the commission, the court stated,
which may not be ordered.
