Attorney General Sanford as amended and transmitted through So licitor Mark Brown: . in view of the two decisions by Judge Pritchard and Judge Lone. which fully presents the contentions both of the State and the rallwav company as to the effect of the lnjunc tloh In the railway rate case, an order ly and speedy termination of the ques tion Involved can be obtained In the following manner: that the the appeal of the State In the habeas corpus be fore Judge Pritchard be prosecuted to the Supreme Court of the United States and application made to ad vance the hearing; thatt he railway company- also take an appeal to the Supreme Court ot North Carolina In the Wake". --county case 'of the State against the Southern Railway Co.,' In accordance .with Y governor's sugges tion in yesterday's Interview and if this case goes-by Writ of error to Su prcme Court of the United States that like application' be made to advance this suit' also. ;.... - .. ? It Is also ' suggested that in the meantime the original rate case be diligently iproceeded with on Its mer its and that no other suits or prosecu tions for penalties growing out of the statutes In controversy be Instituted by either side pending the determina tion by the Supreme Court of the questions involved. This would take up to the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States the question of the effect of Judge Prltchard's injunction for final determination In an orderly manner In the two cases, one going through the Federal and the other through the State court and would speed the final decision of all questions.
