"SUSTAINED. Sashvillc Not Entitled To Cheaper Kates Than Chattanooga. Ci.eatitn Rlrer taped-tian Kaeke4 Oit Bj TIME GIVEN FOB BRIEFS ChatUmongs, Dec 14- Judge Severens, of KAlamasoo, Mlctu. sit tins; in the I'nited States Circuit Court her to try causes la which Judgs C. D.

Clark incompetent, to-day rendered Urn In the case of the Interstate merce Commission against the old East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia XUO- riwl Company and other railroad pan; entering Chattanooga. The case grew out of a complaint made by the Chamber of Commerce of efty to the Interstate OMnmme I ion in 1S9Z. that the aad railroads were dirciim! natlng againjt this city la the matter of freight rates In favor of Nashville and Memphis, both of which cities were In competition with the busi ness of Chattanooga. The point raised was that the railroads were not Justified In placing Ka shrills on the water rate.

ss against Chattanooga. It was charged and shown by the tariff rates of the defendant companies that goods were shipped from the East to ftashviue and back to within short distance of this city at a lower rate than was given from the East to hattanoocra. The question of the ap- l-ucairon ot in. long ana snort cUus to the case at Issue was also r.w-l and decided. The Interstate Com merce Commission had decided that the roads were discriminating and thai Chat- Unoor should be pat on the sum basis with Nashville, and that Chattanooga enouti De given ine same rates.

In his decision Judge Severens said: In considering the facta as adduced by iw interstate Lomnerw ornmiBsl en. ieanng upon me Question or discrumna tton. I have to aay I have been surprised. The proof Is startling. A condition of affairs which will allow freight to be shipped from New York through Chattanooga to Nashville, and then shipped back by a lo cal rate cneaper than It could be shipped dlrwt tl PhalliiAA.a bo radically wrong a ad badly la need of corrertlon.

I shall not deny that the carriers had a rurnt to taae into consideration the fact. as adduced here, of a low rail and water rate from the Kast via Evansvllle to Kash- vine. malting and forming their rates. lut this rule Is not to be carried to un reasonable lengths In making defense ia this Instance, and. unless the carriers can show where the commission failed to take nto tenant some material right which the carriers bad.

I will sustain the order or tne commission. However. I do not eve counsel for the carriers can prove mis point, rr. burden or the proof ta upon the carriers, and I shall give their attorneys ten days in which to file a brief snowinc. If such can he done, that the commission erred la refusing to allow carriers to set up competition as a defense to tne coarse ef a iacrtmi nation.

I shall also grant the altorsers for commission we days sn which to aaswe the brier of the railroads attorneys. 1 As I said before, the evidences of discrimination against Chattanooga are startling, and I do not see how the com misalon could have done otherwise than It d'd. the counoel for the carriers hall find more proof than Is In the rec ord now. I shall sustain the commission. I- S.

Phover. of Washington, counsel fr the Interstate Com mere Commis sion, states that this Is the strongest i the commission has ever had against railroads showing unlawful dlscrimlne- tlon. TROLLEY REORGANIZATION. The Sfalpfaerd Operations Hare Complicated the Task. nvfltnd.
