Bpeclal to Journal. ; .' -
Raleigh, July 17. A series of legal
contests extending through the . day
and until late this evening in the con
filet between state and federal , courts
violation of state railroad rata law
and its punishment continued all day.
Defendant, the Southern Railway Co..
and prisoner Green were "directed to
make plea as to guilt finally and in
the language of. counsel for defense
defendants "Stood mute under the cir
eumstances" and an order waa enter-'
ed that hearing evidence as to guilt
begin tomorrow morning. It is under
stood that Judge Prltchard of the Uni
ted States circuit court is on his way
td Raleigh, from Asheville and will
take a hand in the conflict What that
will be remains to be seen, but it is
believed that It will be most probably
to take in some way custody of pris
oner, on the ground that the whole
matter is at Issue in his court and that
procedlng In the state court at this
stage of testing ot the onstttutionalr
lty of rate act, has no standing. Early
in the day there being an expectation
that a writ would be brought here from
Judge Prltchard directing the sheriff
to produce the prisoner Green in his
cqurt, Judge Long himself took cus
tody of the prisoner,- directing him re
main in bar during the sittings and be
subject to, his orders.'
. The afternoon was taken up In hear
ing special pleadings in behalf of the
defendants and elaborate arguments.
There was a motion for continuance,
because defense could not prepare tor
proper trial at this time, test ot con
stitutionality of rate act. to begin
necessary feature of the defense. Then
there were two pleas raising th issue
ot Jurisdiction and Bringing officially
to state court notice ot injunction pro
ceedings pending in federal court All
these motions finally overruled and
defendants tocced to plead In which
dilema they "stood mute under the
circumstances" and recess was taken.
Intense Interest is felt in the arrival
of Judge Prltchard in the morning and
reconvening of the state court by
Judge Long at 10 o'clock. Telegram
was ' received from Judge Chas. M.
Cooke to the effect that he has ar
ranged for Associated Justice Connor
ot the state supreme court be- here
Monday morning to hear writs habeas
corpus in cases against Dr. David S.

Special Correspondence. 1
Greensboro, July16. Hon. E. J. Jus
tice returned Sunday night from Ashe
ville and left yesterday morning for
Raleigh to represent the state in
slating Solicitor Jones in the prose
cution of the Indictments against the
Souhern Railway agents for violating
the rate law. It is understood here
that Governor Glenn has retained Mr.
Justice and ex.-Governor Ay cock on
the part ot the state.
A very well known and highly orth
odox Republican here In speaking of
the "grave peril to individual and
state sovereignty now on trial" re
marked this morning that If in his
bold brave and righteous stand against
further encroachments on the right ot
a state by the federal Judciary Judge
Long succeeded in establishing the
right once more, nothing except him'
self, could prevent his being made
governdr next time, almost by accla
mation. He declared he would not
only vote tor him, but would canvass
tor him if permitted. Every body here
seems agreed that Judge Long in Ra-
leifch last week was the right man in
the right place, his being ot Alamance
blood, descended from those who en
gaged in the first pitched battle for
American liberty being not a small
factor in thn appropriateness of the
action. . v
On Saturday night. Deputy. Marshal
J. MM. AUen served notices on Law
yers Spense and .Moffit at Aaheboro
and on about halt a dozen ot their
clients, directed from Judge Prltchard,
to refrain from prosecuting suits
brought against the Southern Railway
to collect the $500 penalty for over
charging passenger rates. There was
great expedition used, to get these
writs served before today, when the
regular term -of Randolph superior
court convenes, Judge Justice presid
ing. It is understood , that Messrs.
Spence and Moffltt - have . retained
Messrs. Morehead and Sapp of this
city to represent them.' These gentle
men left for Randolph conrlast night
There is some speculation as to what
will be done, over in Randloph as well
as in Wake superior court this week.
One lawyer here speaking of the
Randolph cases says that he would
advise attorneys to file a versified
complaint, and if the Southern Rail
way failed to answer In the time pre
scribed by law, he would ask the Judg
to sign a judgment on complaint and
no answer. He said he would Ignore
federal restraining order and test the
question of a proper judgment against
the railroad jn the state '-supreme
COUrt . --. 'v, ' : : '. -- .
United States Marshal MllUkan
himself went to Asheboro this after
noon, but denied that his vUlt was In
connection with , these cases. It Is,
mooted, that if necessary, aa order
will be served on Judge Justice re
straining him from signing any Judg
ment by default and if the. attorneys
persist In asking for a trial of . the
cause, or seek to get anyt judgment
they Will be arrested at once by the
marshal on a United States bench war
rant and taken to Asheville.
There la undoubtedly a teellpg of
great tension here among all the peo
ple over the1 outcome of this fight of
the state tor its life, i The question ot
railroad rates seems to have taken a
back seat before this greater and more
serious one.' 1 , - -

Raleigh, July 17. This morning
when superior court conveaed, coun
sel prosecuting Agent Green and the
Southern lodged a motion far Imme
diate trial of the prisoner giving as a
reason that there was a move on the
part ot counsel for the defense to
stave off trial until process jlrom the
federal court could be obtained to take
the jurisdiction from this court Ex-
Judge A C. Avery, tor -the j prisoner
contended he was simply .siting time
to prepare for the defense a thing
they had as yet had no time to do, E. J.
Justice of counsel for the prosecution
attempted to interrupt Avery . In his
remarks and waa told by Avery in
sarcastic tone that he was' hot there
preparing any material for the next
campaign but solely for the s purpose
o f defending and ' maintaining' the
rights of to client ; j
j Judge Long said If it was the pur
pose of counsel for the 'Southern to
Impede and delay the court and in the
end deny the jurisdiction and' strive to
have the prisoner taken from this
court by a process of the federal court
then no time would be allowed. F. H.
Busbee for Southern said he would
state for the information of the court
that he had been preparing a plea to
be filed in-this court but as to whether
it would be approved and .used by the
general counsel for the Southern when
they came together,- he could not
promiso. Judge Long aa!d, "Th' ques
tion is do you. propose to recognise the
jurisdiction of this court or will you
seek to thwait this court s proceeding.
The answer was . that' .the ' defense
might after consultation file a plea as
to jurisdiction, but no pledge not to
take the case to the federal court
could be obtained. . " '
, Finally Judge Long announced that
he would call the case for hearing at
12 o'clock thereby closing the contest
for the present It Is understood that
the writ of habeas corpus from the
federal court la expected here from
Asheville at 12:45 this afternoon.
Governor Glenn says reports pub
Ushed that he had "denounced" Judge
Prltchard of the federal court for his
course in the railroad rate bases was
not true. What be did say was that
the railroads had taken an extraordi
nary course by not allowing the case
to go through the channels of the
state courts from which they had the
right ot appeal it aggrleaved. That
with the light before him he was very
much surprised that Judge Prltchard
would issue the writs. The governor
says the case la not one for "denun
elation or hot-headedness but for de
liberation and cool judgment In pro
tecting the state's rights. And that
he will do all in his power to execute
the-atate law. .
: A formal and official Invitation to a
"legat hanging' Is g decided novelty
which has been received here ; from

Last Sunday night some unknown
party gained entrance Into the store
of Mr W. .8. Moore on East" Market
street by prying oft the large iron bar
which rests across the rear door. As
soon as the store was opened, this
morning it was evident from the dis
order of things that some, one unac
quainted with the store had been rum'
maging , about the merchandise. ,; A
thorough Investigation was at ; once
made but nothing could! be found
missing. '
The American Realty and Auction
Company and Mr. Will H. Matthews
have made arrangements with Mr. W.
Stratford by which they will divide
up Into lots for sale at auction at an
early date Mr. Stratford's property on
Julian street There .will be 50 to 75
of the lots and on one of them there

ford. ;
There was a gioup of men standing
in front of King Brothers cigar store
when this correspondent came down
town this "mcr&'ing and they -. were
clustered aiound a paper, Intensely
Interested. "! wish to God you wculi
look here" one said as another , gen-
tl nun p-'sgct Jurt ahead of ma. . Ihe
man addressed stopped, InoVod at the
paper, if was the Charlotte Observer,
and read out loud the following dis
patch dated at Asheville: : "Dr.
Arthur Prltchard, son of Judge J. C.
Prltchard, has been appointed assist
ant surgeon of the Southern Railway
Company for this district or division."
Well boys, I hate to see that," said
the reader, who Is a well known ad
mirer of Judge Prltehard, "it is the
worst kind of bad taste, at thlstlme.
and Judge Prltchard ought to repu
diate It at once." This raised a little
discussion among the group one de
claring that it was not unusual for the
railroads to have sons or close rela-
lves of superior court judges appointed
to positions in all parts of the service,
especially as local counsel, soon after
they were elected; and named several,
Including attornies who had Just fin'
ished service-, agreable to the rail
roads In the legislature, and he even
named some United States district at
torneys and state solicitors. Another
said it was well known , that. Judge
Prltchard had himself been a South
em railway attorney wane ne was
United States senator and" also was
one when he was appointed to his
present position, and besides, he said
his son-in-law Thomas S Rollins was
division counsel of the Southern rail
way at this time; and be could see no
impropriety, considering all these taots
of the son being appointed a surgeon,
since it seemed he was not a lawyer
and could not well be made local coun
sel. - But every member of the group.
except one, agreed that at this partic
ular Juncture, It was the very worst
kind of . bad taste tor ths appointment
to have been made." This "kicker'
said he was "d glad the news was
first printed in the Charlotte Instead
of the Raleigh Observer, because. It
would have been immediately said
that It was published solely to preju
dice Democrats against Judge Prlt
chard.."- As It was, he said he was in
cllned to believe, that the appotnment
may have been made some time ago,
and had just 'leaked,' and he believed
some personal enemy pf the powerful
United States circuit court judge had
had it published Just now, of all times
In the world. ,
' But there was common consent of
that one assemblage, that the thing
looked Inappropriate at the very least
and was calculated to place an other
wlee highly honorable ofQclal In an
unenviable light for criticism.

Raleigh, July 11 The prosecution
of the Southern Railway Co., and
Ticket Agent 9reea has today lam
conducted without interference from,
the federal court All the difference
being that on agreement reached by
contending counsel that argument'
shall begin 9: SO tomorrow morning
n two attorneys are iopeak on
each half hour each. The morning
session was taken up with selecting .
the jury The case began on the testi
mony for Uie prosecution during the
afternoon. This consisted of proving
the sale of tickets at unlawful rata,
the Southern making the point that ,
the sale included the rebate coupon aa
a special contract obviating violation.
The presence of Judge Prltchard of ,
the United States court raised Intense)
Interest as to any Intervention on his
part He held conferences in the fed
eral court offices with General Coun
sel Thorn and other ot Southern Rail
way and left on the afternoon train
for Asheville without Issuing any pro
cess or making any move In tint case
at all. It seems settled that cases
proceed to conviction and sentence.

noon... t',v; .--
When the Jury had been completed
General Counsel Thorn, for. Southern
road asked that the court pass on mo- '
tlon pending to push indictment aa to
the Southern Railway on he ground
that hq crime could be charged to the
road under the status since the act ex
pressly prescribed that any railway
corporation failing to sell tickets at
1 2Scent rate should be liable to a
money penalty of $500, cash in aaen
case, and additional criminal Indict
ment does not apply. After' lengthy
argument Judge Long ovnr-ruled mo
tion reserving right to take it np and
paa': finally later in proceeding in
question properly presented. The conrt
took recess to 3 o'clock. By the time
the jury had been empannelled It lack
ed only ten minutes of 6 o'clock, time
for the court to take recess for din
ner. The bill indictment fas read by
the solicitor and the recess followed.
