Judge McPherson Holds Mis
souri Law is Confiscatory.
Attorney Declares Decision 8ounds
Death Knell of Low Fare In Every
State Return to Old Rates Expected.
Maximum Freight Law Also Hit.
Missouri's 2-cont passenger fntoand
ninxliuum Height rate Ijiwb woro nul
lified by n iluclalon handed down In
the district court at Kansas City by
Judgo Smith McPherson of Hod Oak,
la. As a result, It Is believed thero
will bo a qutcl: return In Missouri to 3
cent faies, and Frank Hngermnn, for
the eighteen companies Involved, as
serts the decision sounds the death
knell of the 2-cuut rato In every stoto
In the union.
Judge McPherson hold that both
the commodity and the passenger
laws wero confiscatory and unconsti
tutional, and Mr. Hagerman declared
that it is not conceivable that If tho
"cent rato Is confiscatory In Missouri
It tan bo compensatory in other states.
The state, on tho other hand, de
clared emphatically that Mlssoml's
fight for lower rates would continue.
Elliott W. Major, tho newly elected at
torney gonoral, who succeeded Her
bert S. Hndley to that otllco and was
In court when tho decision was read,
said un appeal would bo taken and
that the present leglslatuto would bo
asked to pass new rate laws that
would stand tho test of tho courts.
Governor Hadley mado a slmllnr state
ment at Jefferson City.
Judgo Smith McPherson, who ren
dered the decision, Is presiding Judgo
of the United States circuit court for
tho southern district of Iowa. Ho
sat through tho lengthy trial of tho
case that has covered sovoral months
tlmo and had worked diligently on his
opinion for a month past. Ho left for
Council Muffs, la., to open court there.
"Tho question," said Judge McPher
son In his decision, "Is whether tho
traffic wholly within the stnte of Mis
souri generally refened to In the evi
dence ns local traffic, can be carried
under the freight rate statutes of 1907
and tho passenger fare statute of 1907
nt such profit ns will give a reasonnblo
return after paying expenses upon tho
Investment, or whether such trafilc is
carried at a loss or leas than such
reasonable profit. The court
has reached the conclusion that upon
this question tho statutory rates fixed
by either and both statutes aie not
remunerative."

Proof of Rebating or Stop.
The government attorneys In tho
retrial nt Chicago of tho Stand
aid Oil company of Indiana were told
by Judge Anderson that unless thoy
Introduced further proof sustaining
their contention Mint tho oil company
accepted a rebate from the Chicago
and Alton railroad thoy might as well
cease their efforts to convict. Judge
Andeison, after considerable argumout
from both sides, admitted tentatively
tarlrf No. 1,203 of tho Chicago and Al
ton and tariff No. -4 of tho Wiggins
Fcrrj company. Beforo admitting tho
documents lu this way tho court spoke
of tho "fatal discrepancy" In parts of
the Indictment against the Standard
Oil company.
"If tho government can furnish no
further proof," snld he, "In support of
Its contentions than tho tariff sheets
alieady Introduced, it may as well
stop."
Judge Anderson agreed with tho de
fense In that no evidence had been ad
duced piolng rouuoctlon between tho
Chicago and Alton rnllroad and tho
Terminal Hallway association.
"In tho ovont It Is proven that a
Joint agreement existed between theso
two railroads the Indictment would
Bland," said tho court nt one point.
"It might also stand If It Is shown
Hint tho two companies offered conces
sions "
Attorney Wllkorson for the govern
ment Insisted that his object In Intro
ducing the tat Iff sheets of these two
roads wns to show proof of publication
