Raleigh, N. C.,' July 8. Judge Long
presiding in ' the 'Superior court here
to-day, li& his charge to 'the' grand '
jury refered. at length to , the"ques
tion of eminent domain, and said it -
was; the duty of the grand duty and
solicitor to indict and' prosecute-all
railways, and ' their- agents who are
violating the law fixing .two and
one-quarter cents as the maximum
rate per mile on all roads over sixty
miles in length. ' ' v ' - -
- Judge Long spoke of little else '
than this matter.; Prosecutions are;
to follow, it is said. .
- v j Provisions of Law.
On the second of March, 1907, the '
Legislature of North Carolina passed
an act - effective1 July 1, 1907, pre- -Bribing
the maximum, charge for
transportation. Of ; passengers . on rail
roads exceeding sixty miles in
length at:, two and one-quarter cen i
per mile, creating a penalty of; $500 :
for every , violation, and making it
an indictable misreamor i for any,
agent ; of the railroads to demand or. ;
charge a greater, rate. . : - -
Opinions of Court.
. Judge B. F. Long to-day in passing
upon the statute, holds: ' ' r ,' ,
First That the law. is in effect
since July 1,, 1907; and he instructed
the grand jury to Indict every Tlola- '
tion. - -, . , 4
-llSjecnd-That It -4a "presumed:, to,
be - constitutional untn the -contrary
is shown by offending railroads. ; "
THIrd That- no court has Jurisdic-,
tion in indictments': for the violatiojiA
except the superior courts "of North
Carolina. '
Fodrth That if" the state superior
and supreme courts should both h o: 1
the act not rejugnant to the - federal
constitution,, the federal supreme
court could re-examine the decision
upon writ of error at the, instance of
convicts under the act. ; ' -
Interest in. Jury's Cause.
, This decision, , following blase af
ter -Circuit Judge Pritchard's ' injunc
tion of state officers, presents new ?
and interesting phases of the rate ;
litigation and the report of the grand :
jury is awaiited withJ interest as the
Southern Railway and the Atlantic N
