M'HUCH FOR EIGHT ROADS
Omaha Attorney Retained by Kail
roads in Case at Chicago.
TOWEK UNDER HEPBURN ACT
Ikine to Be Determined la How Far
Conrt Mar G4 In Setting Aalde
Order of the Interstate
Commission,
Questions as to lue vxient of the powers
of the courts under the Hepburn inter
State commerce act to review and set aside
the order and decrees of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, probably will be
Settled In a suit now pending In the United
States circuit court for Minnesota The
tase was brought by eight railroads to
enjoin the enforcement of an order of the
commission reducing the charge now tnada
by railroads for hauling stock from their
termini to the Chlcngo stock yards from
ti to 1 a car. Judge W. D. MtHugh of
Omaha represented the roads in the hear
ing at t?t. Paul, Thursday.
. The Chicago stock yards are owned by the
stock yards company, which also owns
about 250 miles of railroad track which
connects the yards with the tracks of the
various loads centering In Chicago. None
of the roads reaches the stock yards and
til stork carried to Chicago by the various
roads Is hauled by the roads from the
termini to the stock yards over the tracks
of the stock yards company. The rail
roads Impose a charge of 2 a car for the
service.
A complaint was filed before the Inter
state Commerce Commission, alleging tho
terminal charge was too high and the com
mission entered an order reducing the
charge from $2 to II a car. The order was
directed against the Atchison, Topcka&
Santa Fee, the Chicago & Alton, the Chi
cago Great Western, the Chicago, Burling
ton and Qulncy, the Chicago & Northwest
ern, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
the Illinois Central and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul.
McIldKh la Retained.
Judge McHugh was retained by these
eight roads to contest the order of the
commission reductng the rates. On behalf
of the roads he filed a bill In equity in
the United 8tates circuit court for the dis
trict of Minnesota, where the' Chicago
Great Western has its principal operating
offices, against the Interstate Comrmroe
commission, the object of which is to pro
cure a decree setting aside and annulling
the order of the commission and enjoining
Its enforcement. In the suit the road
have prayed for an Interlocutory order
suspending the order and enjoining its
operation during the pendency of the suit.
The suit is brought under the amend d
Interstate commerce act known as the Hrp.
burn law, and by Us provision where the
attorney general of the United States fi:es
In court a certificate that the ra.e Is of
great importance It becomes the duty of
the court to expedite the ease and it shall
be heard before at least three of tha circuit
judges. Attorney General Bonaparte filed
this certificate and the case was heard by
Judges Sanborn, Hook and Adams. It was
argued on behalf of the commission by
L. A. Bhaver, the official solicitor for tha
commission, and 8. H. Cowan, attorney for
the Cattle Kaisers association of Texas
and the Chicago I.lve Stock exchange,
which were the complainants In the pro
ceedings before the commission.
Derision Before July J.
Upon conclusion of tha argument the
court announced It would probably be
several weeks before the matter could be
decided and that an order would be en
tered suspending the order reducing the
rates pending the decision. The court said
the decision would be rendered before
July 1.
Mr. Shaver thereupon stated that to
obviate the necessity of such an order
the commission would extend the time !n
which the order reducing the rate should
go Into effect to July 1, and Friday the
commission made such an order.
Beside the general Importance of the
case as determining the powers of the
court over tha acts of the commlsalon un
der the Hepburn law the case Is of great
Interest to the railroads, as there are 860,000
cars of Hock delivered every year to the
Chcago stock yards.

Apprehensive (hat Effect of This
Conflict In Court Itallnas
Mar Injure South Omaha
Market.
The live stock commission men at South
Omaha are discussing with apprehension
some of the conflicting decisions of federal
and state courts which they fear may have
an injurious effect' on the local market.
Tha aupreme court of Nebraska recently
held that the Union Stock Yards company
of South Omaha Is a common carrier and
liable to all duties and obligations as
such, while the federal court at St. Louis
has Just ruled that the Union Stock Yards
company of St. Louis la not a common
carrier in a cafe brought under the twenty-
I eight-hour law.
j "If the decision of the supreme court
: stands," says T. B. McPherson, president
of the South Omaha Live Stock exenange,
I "the result will be that the charge here
tofore made by the Union Stock Yards
company of South Omaha f. r switching
ar.d unloading live stock and Included la
the tariff charged by the railroads, will
no longer be paid by them, the Stock Yards
company will be compelled to collect it
direct from the shlrper by adding the
amount of the experse bill presented by
the railroads, thus practically forcing the
shipper to pay twice for this same service,
and on one gets the benefit but the rail
road companies. In this view of the situa
tion the South Omaha Live Stock ex
change in the interest of the shipper and
producer, patrons of the South Omaha mar
ket, are seeking a rehearing. Many letters
have been received by us from shippers
asking tor an explanation, and I do not
think the public understands the matter.
Aside from the burden imposed upon, tha
live stock producer and shipper, making
tha stock yards a common carrier In Ne
braska, but not In other states, would so
discHminata against our local market as to
handicap us and give our competitors at
the other Missouri river markets a lever
age difficult to overcome.
Effect at South Ouaaha.
"How would the South Omaha live stock
market be affected as compared with tho
markets at Kansas City, St. Joseph and
Sioux City? In tills ay: Omaha, la de
clared to be a common carrier, the rail
road companies' hauling live stock to that
market will refuse to pay the company for
awltchir and unloading stock, although
their present tariffs cover this charge, and
j the stock yards of South Omaha will have
j to add an arbitrary charge to tha freight
1 bill W cover Hs exftnse. Tbis sargs will
have to be paid by the shipper to this
market, although It Is absorbed or other
wise taken care of In the other live stock
markets, not only on the Missouri river,
but In St. Louis and Chicago by the rail
roads themselves, thus clearly putting the
South Omaha market to disadvantage.
"The United States court at St. Louis
only a few days ago held that the St. Louis
stock yards, which own and operate about
thirty miles of track, the same way as In
South Omaha. Is not a common carrier or
connecting railroad In the meaning of the
federal statute. It Is very evident, there
fore, that if our Stock Yards company Is
ot be a common carrier, we will suffer
serious discrimination against our local
market. So far as the South Omaha Live
Stock exchange goes, it Is immaterial
whether this switching and unloading
charge Is borne by the railroad compar.les
or by the stock yards, but we Intend to
do all we can to save the shippers and
farmers from paying It."

Bruised.
Mrs. Frederick Uacun, wife of Dr. Paeon,

caped serious Injury In an accident about
9.30 Saturday morning when the wheel to
the carriage she was driving came off,
throwing her on the pavement. Her prin
cipal Injuries were bruises on her head
and wrist, which, though severe, are not
believed to be dangerous.
The accident was caused by a severe
wrench of the wheels when Mrs. Bacon
tried to turn out of the street car tracks.
The axle on the rlnht side of the buggy
broke, letting the front corner drop to the
pavement. The horse ran hulf a block,
when the other wheel came off and the
buggy partly overturned, throwing Mm.
Bacon out. The bor.e then stopped and 1
was caught by bystanders. Mrs. Bacon was
cairled Into a nearby house and afterward
taken home.
A little girl, whose name Is not known to
Mrs. bacon, was In the carriage with her at
the time. She had begged a ride shortly
before the accident and after Mrs. Bacon
had been thrown from the buggy she
crawled nut and disappeared. The girl was
not hurt.
The accident happened at almost the exact
spot where a similar accident Imppened to
