The fight for the railroad legislation ' which has been complicated by the drawing ot party lines is reaching Its climax in the Senate and no one is found who is willing to predict the outcome. The speech of Senator Ray nor delivered a few days apo wai supposed to outline the views of his party on the subject hut it is repudiated by many of them and has resulted in even greater complica tion in the situation. . ;Thepetonal views of Senator TilV m?.n fon the rate question were pre sented to the Senate when that gentle man made his report on the Hepburn bill from the Committee on Interstate Commerce. Denouncing the power of the railroads and portraying the need of n,,on ww t,,at the s- A- u track bP; legiilation to curb them Senator Til!- tween Sanford and Apex was blocked man criticized the bill as it had come j Thursday night by 12 freight cars being from the House as loose and capable of , derailed in a deep cut, the work of en various interpretations.

If "the House however should refuse to conter on a much amended rate bill presented by the Sen ate and the latter body should persist in pillock ing legislation it is " alto gether probable that the President would call an extra session of Congress. It is well known. that the President and the Speaker of the House are in -thorough agreement on a'l questions of important legislation at present and the President is assured of the loyal support of the House on the rate bill.

The distance from Cary to Sanford is 35 miles on the Seaboard's main line, while it is 113 miles between the two places via Greensboro. The County Cpmmissioners met in special called session here yesterday afternoon, to confer with Mayor Wrenn and others of High Point over the question of granting a franchise to Philadelphia capitalists for a trolley line over the county roads between High Point and Greensboro. After hearing several parties including Mayor Wrenn, E. D. Steele and R. R. King, in favor of granting the franchise tho board went into executive session and decided to defer action until next Tues- day. At the regular meeting the first Monday in March, the board granted a franchise to E. J. Justice as trustee for a syndicate of capitalists whose names he did not divulge and refused to grant a franchise the next day to the Philadelphia concern represented by R. R. King and E. D. Steele, of High Point The High Point officials granted a fxanchise to the Philadelphia i e -1 a if- T concern and refused to grant Mr. Jus- tice a franchise. At the session yes- their road, they cannot raise the rates terday attorney C. W.

Upon learning of this dej cision, Messrs. Steele and King in be- half of the parties seeking a franchise insisted on having a decision at this meeting and just at r ight the members of the board were gotten together and by a vote of three or two, declined to reconsider the former action refusing a franchise. The street paving contractors have not stopped work on account of the order served yesterday' afternoon on Murphy retained the city from making any further payments for work already done. - The order from Judge Allen simply enjoined the payment of further monies. The contractor was communi cated with by wire last night and ad- vited by the city authorities to continue the work and early this morning the same waa resumed with a full force of hands.

By agreement the counsel for the Commissioners' of Craven county amt for the Atlantic & North Carolina Co., lessees of the road submitted thtir ar- guments to Judge Long on the merits of the cane which was tried before him in theSu tior court one month ago. inu anomu. :y representing the part ifss were a brilliant array of legal taldt and it ha been many a day since there has been so many distinguished lawyers in the court house house at one time to try a single ease. The interest of the public has been keen in the different stages of the lease of the A. & N. C. railroad ar d theattendance upon this, one of the most important occasions in t'ie eventful history of the road, was large and composed of the represents- , ti re men of the county. L. I. MOORE. Hon. L. I. Moire, of Greenville Solicitor for the Third Judicial Disti irt opened the case for the plaintiff. ' Hid argument was clear, logical and elo quent He talked rapidly and although he occupied an hour and forty-two minutes he held the attention of his auditois easily. He gave many citations' iof authorily in support of his statements, reading some and merely referring to others. - He went into a brief history of the railroad which dates back to 1-19 The design of those 4n authority that time was to have an uninterrupted line of traffic from the coast to the main tains and also transversely across the State. In the original charter tho pro-; vision , is made that there shall be no organization until $300,000 shall have been subscribed, but here is a lease with only $175,000 subscribed and only $25,000 paid in. ,i , There is no power given to grant a lease unless such lease is ratified by tl.e legislature, that lease has not been agreed to but on the contrary' the lai.t legislature refused to give its sanctior. Railways cannot without legislative authority turn over their Interest to other railway companies. Public duty ' must not be neglected at will. A rail- road corporation possesses no gr a'er :L' ua .v nl.. .k 11, "rights' ftnfr trie peopls 1 county of Craven with its 1293 shares ' of stock, the county of Lenoir with its 500 shares and of Pamlico with with it3 made for 91 yeara and three per cent arid that the transfer was made not to ' men known in this. State but to two . capitalists of Rhode Island, men who ' have little interest in our county except ; to swell their own fortune. He spoke of the loyalty of papers of this section and the signal service they rendered foi the cause of the people. The pros perity of the cities along the line.of the very large increase of population of New Bern, Kinston and Goldsboro of their improvement and their prospects and said that the section would im prove and develop under the - State management as under the control of aliens. It is not the purpose in annull ing the lease to not return to the les sees the money they actually expended in improving the condition of the road, they are entitled to it but the Stale should control its own matters or not leave it to outsiders. A. D. WARD. Mr. Ward appearing for defendant said it was not a question of local law but of the national constitution which forbidB the passing of laws conflicting with the operation of legal contracts so 1 ,ong M flatter shall themselves be in BCCOrd with the princjpes of right and ju8tice. Mr. Ward cited many legal , nlWlt i, in .llnn0rt of the general 1 8tatementa made by the defense. JUDGE GILMER' Attorney General R, D. G timer then ' delivered an able address Tn behalf of the defense, his appearance being for the State, which owns two thirds of the SIOCK He said that the State of North Carolina is legally a private stock holder as was, maintained by the plain tiff but in the comman acceptation of the term in which the sovereignty of the State is involved the State is not a private stockholder and her interests are first In this matter. Theopi onenta nad asserted that the decisi6n on record in the 72nd North Carolina reports did n t have the approval of many of the leading lawyers but notwithstanding ' that, he said the law was signed by such men as Col. Hinsdale, Col. Argo and other prominent attorneys in the State. The fact that the lease was ex ecuted at miilnuM does not effect its v.lidity the directors accspted it know ing that circumstance. The proposi tion had been heralded far nnd wide in the new : i hiiits previous to and there waa no n-c rrry Imt-'vor to the pro- cc ' . At t' " !: ii,! ,l meeting at v ' ' 's "V t ' ' 1 ' ' r i ( bout, 1 tol.a i ! ;' ! ! 'h r ; t v. : read wherein the lease proposition was mentioned at length outlining the plans purposes and conditions of the lease and that repart was adopted in open ne,-linf-' . : -v-; Gen. Gilmer was interrupted several times by the opposing attorneys and answered the queries quickly and well and proceeded with his arguments. He spoke of the prospect of the coaling station which the Company contem plates establishing at or near Cape Lookout and of other development of the eastern section which the Company is making and will continue to make. Mr. Moore as ed the speaker if he thought the prosperity would be in creased if the people make them gift of $2,000,000. He replied that he knew nothing of any gift for the sum men tinned or any other sum -but he did know that ; prosperity ; would 5 come quicker under tho present management than it would under the old regime, II" gave a review of the legal aspects of the execution of the lease in which the plaintiff appears. The suit is brought through a person having one h! ire of stock, a proceeding which is not calculated to put reliance in the hungry of the plaintiff. It was not brought until 12 months after the lease WJ3 made. There will be no damage t j the stockholder and the price has risen from 30 to 60 and had not this li igation interf erred the' stock would be 25 percent, higher today. ' C. M. BUSBEE. The court adjourned at one o'clock for a recess of one hour and upon re- numption, Hon. C. M. Busbee, of Ral- Kh. spoke in the interest of Hon. E. C Duncan and Mrs. fucker, two of the largest stocxnoiuers Desme me oiaie interest. His argument was short and was mostly to show how the value of the stock had increased since the lease went into effect. He also made a point about the decission of the Supreme Court in the 72 North Carolina which had been the subject of much discus sion. He stated that there had been five receivers appointed for" the road and a former receiver, noted for his terse, short sentences, (presumably McBee) v. ai heard to say the other day, while discussing the A. & N. C. road, that he had it once and that he would have It again before corn time. COL, f. M. PEARSALL. Col. Pearsall, for the defense, said that the plaintiff Hill had no real in terest in the suit, having only one share of the stock, he would not suffer to any extent whether the lesse held or not, He also srave several statements of but which were nevertheless material matters for consideration and showed that the Company was doing a pros perous business. ' EX-OOV, AYCOCK. Hon. C. B. Aycock, appearing as counsel for the lessees, said that there was profound interest in the outcome of this suit It was a matter of importance to his client, and more importance to the State. It was also something to him personally for six strenuous months of his life was devoted to the lease while he was in the office of gov ernor. He made a brief historical .re sume of the road.to strengthen his po sition and show why the lease should not be annulled. The road has been in the hands of a receiver five times, twice leased out and once forfeited. The road has yielded only 15 per cent in dividends in 50 years. . The governor recited the circumstance of the McBee and Finch episode, the arrest for con spiracy and other events fresh in the minds of the people and compared those' transactions tojthe conditions today. He pointed out the inconsistency of Craven stockholders who went to the annual meeting of 1904 and voted for the lease and now were trying to break it V w. W. CLARK. After a brief preliminary address Mr. Clark devoted himself to the legal aspects of the case to show why the lease should be annulled. The first point was the fact that the meeting should have been advertised in two papers according to the provi sions of the by-laws, whereas, the ad vertisement only appeared in one. A majority of tho stockholders should concur in granting the lease. Such does hot appear on record. The meeting should have been held in the advertised place. Ihe by laws expressly require that the place and time of meeting and if the provis ions of the by-laws are not complied with the by-laws aie null and void. Tho address was very able and coa elusive and the points of law were 'well sot forth. I Judge Long announced at the end of the arguments that he would announce his decision in a few days if desired if not he would consider the case longer. Among these at the A. & N. C. lease hewing, yesterday at the court house were: Ex-Governor C. B. Aycock, At torney General R. D. Gilmer C. M. Buabee of Raleigh, Larry I. Moore, of Greenville, James H. Pou, h.
