RAILROADS CAN'T DISCRIMINATE
Federal Court of Appeals Decides
Against Baltimore and Ohio and
Other Lines.
Richmend, Va.—Declaring that a
railroad must give all shippers the
same transportation treatment,
whether it owns all or only part of
the cars it carries, the United States
circuit court of appeals reversed the
decision of the United States court
of Maryland in tlhe suit of the Pit-
cairn Coal Company against the Bal-
timore & Ohio Railroad Company, the
Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, the Fairmont Coal Company
and its allies and 30 other coal com-
panies.
The complainants alleged that they
were discriminated against in the dis-
tribution of coal cars by .the defen-
dants, especially the Baltimore &
Ohio. The lower court decided in
favor of the defendants.
Judge Pritchard, however, deliver-
ing the opinion, held that the inter-
state commerce law “casts upon the
carrier the plain duty of furnishing a
fair and equal distribution of car fa-
cilities and this duty cannct be evaded
by the carrier claiming that it is not
the owner of a porticn of the cars
carried over the lines.”
The case was remanded to the
Maryland cirenit court. The railroad
companies will appeal to the supreme
court.
The court held that there was dis-
crimination in favor of the Fairmont
companies and that the contention of
those companies that their large con-
tracts entitled them to such undue
preference is untenable.
The trial court in dealing with the
question of fuel cars of the Baltimore
& Ohio and foreign fuel cars held
that they should not be charges
against the percentage, but the appel-
late court declares “that the fuel cars
of the carrier, its regular equipment
of cars, the cars of other roads sent
in for fuel and the private or individ-
ual cars of the mine operators should
be placed absolutely cn the same
basis.”

The Opposition Puts Up a Handsome

Saratoga, N. Y.—Charles Evans
Hughes of New York, was renomin-
ated by the State convention by an
overwhelming majority and on the
first ballot to succeed himself as Gov-
ernor of the State of New York. He
received 827 votes out of a possible
1,009, as against 151 for James W.
Wadsworth, Jr., of Livingston coun-
ty, Speaker of the State Assembly,
and 31 for former Congressman John
K. Stewart of Montgemery.
The nomination was made unani-
mous upon action of State Committee- |
man William Barnes, Jr., of Albany,
who has been perhaps the bitterest |
and most outspoken opponent of the
Governor's renominatipn.
The Governor's renomination fol-
lowed the utter failure of a desperate
struggle on the part of a number of
the county leaders, who for four days
have spared no effort to discover a |
candidate upon whom could
unite to defeat him.

CARNEGIE HAS PEACE PLAN
Laird of Skibo Says Emperor William
Could Put an End to War
Among Nations.
Berlin, Germany.—Andrew Carne-
gie has written a letter from Skibo
Castle, Scotland, to Representative
Richard Bartholdt of Missouri, presi-
dent of the American Group of the
Inter-parliamentary Union, which con-
vened in this city September 15, in
which he says:
If I were in Berlin and had a word
to say my thoughts necessarily would
flow in one direction. I cannot es-
cape the conclusion that the abolition
of war among civilized nations as a
mode of settling international - qis-
putes is very easily accomplished.
There will be one man in Berlin
while your congress is in session who
has only to speak the word. If the
Emperor of Germany ever realized
his manifest destiny peace would fol-
low. He has it in his power to abolish
war among civilized nations. All
he has to do is to ask Great Britain,
France and the United States to unite
with him in declaring that since the
world has contracted to a neighbor-
hood and is in constant and instan-
taneous communication one part with
another, the interchange of products
between them amounting to thousands
of millions a year, the time has pass-
ed when any one civilized nation can
be permitted to break that peace in
which all are so deeply interested.
International disputes must be settled
by arbitration.
Neither of the three countries
named could afford to reject this in-
vitation, and the Emperor would have
performed a service to the world un-
equaled by any human being that
lived.
