Thursday night placed the Raleigh

It really seems hard for Mr. Bry

the question of government owner
ship of railroads. Now, if the Presi
dent should come out for the initiative
and referendum the eloquent Nebras
kan would go dead broke.
This is "tollable" straight talk from
the Charlotte Observer: "We say that
Judge Pritchard had utterly insuffi
cient grounds for enjoining this sov
ereign State on the passenger fare is
sue; we say that he had no grounds
whatever for enjoining as to freight
rates and that the railroad companies
showed almost inconceivable brazen
ness in ever asking him to do so."
If it can be established that the
death of Engineer Strange was the
result of a conspiracy between his
wife and her paramour, Dr. Rowland,
it will forever stand as one of the
most atrocious crimes ever committed
in North Carolina. The evidence In
troduced at the hearing in habeas
corpus proceedings before Judge
Connor was of a very damaging char
acter and fully justified his refusal
to admit the prisoners to bail.

applying the torch which destroyed a
number of houses in the southern part

Sunday morning. B. G. Empie, Esq.,
counsel for the defendant in the ac
tion, stated that he did not understand
that a bill would be sent in for arson,
which is a capital felony; that he
thought the bill would charge only at

Sanford from his futile
conference n
with Governor Glen at Raleigh, a suc
cession of - conferences between" the
officials of the Southern Railway, their
counsel and counsel for the State, the-
indictment' of the Southern ticket;
agents at Marion and Old Point and'
the. hurried departure of Mr. Sanford
from this city, presumably for Wash
ington, were the features of the rail
road , rate fight situation tonight,
r Specials from Marion this after
noon confirmed the report that the
ticket agents of the Southern Railway
at Old Fort and Marion had been in
dicted by the grand jury, for violation
of the new rate law, but up to a late
hour it was stated that they had not'
been arrested. Judge Lyon, who in
structed the grand jury of McDowell ,
county to indict the agents, will open
the Superior Court term here next'
Monday, and it is reported on good,
authority that he will instruct the
Buncombe county grand jury to the
same effect.
In the event that the Marion and Old.
Fort ticket agents are arrested, they
will be brought here in habeas corpus
proceedings before Judge'1 Pritchard.
From an authoritative source It was
learned tonight that the course of pro
cedure will be the same as in the -cases,
of Ticket Agents Wood and Gra-
ham, of this city. ,
When Judge Pritchard was asked A
tonight if any application had been:
made to him for an habeas corpus writ w
for the Marion and Old Fort agents "
he stated that none had been made.
The judge said that he had 'heard that
presentments" had been made at Mar
ion, but had received no notification;
hoi had any mention been made of a ,
writ of habeas corpus. - ; N
A. B. Andrews, second vice presi
dent of the Southern; H. B. Spencer,
fifth vice president,, and JH. H. Hum
phreys, general counsel, left here at
9:45 tonight on a special train for Ra
leigh. None of the party would make
any statement in connection, with their
departure.
Officials of the Southern Railway
here contend that the Governor's de
mand that they should put the 2 1-4-eent
rate into effect at once involves
the company's surrender and the sur-'
render by the United Stats Court of
the protection of the interlocutory in
junction, which means that the Gover
nor of a State can control or limit the
processes of a United States Court,
and that the Governor can dictate to
litigants in the United States Court v
the measure of relief which they have
the right to apply for, which means a
limitation by order of the Governor of
their constitutional rights.
It is pointed out by the officials of
the road that if they put into effect
the rate and win the case the differ-'
ence betwen the old rate and the new
