don Russell of the United States court
here today.
Attorney General Beu F. Looney,
accompanied by his assistant, Luther
Nickels, arrived lit Sherman this
morning and at once presented a pe-
tition to restrain the railroads of
Texas from putting into effect the in-
trastate rates recently announced.
Representing the railroads, also
came Judge Hiram Glass of Austin,
general attorney of the Texas rail-
roads; H. M. Garwood, of Houston,
general attorney for the Sunset Cen-
tral lines aud J. W. Terry of Galves-
ton, general attorney fof the Santa
Fe lines.
The ease showed signs from the
first of being warmly contested and

the arguments, Mr. Nickels opening
In liehalf of the railroad commission
ami the shippers of Texas and the
three gentlemen mentioned—Judge
Glass and Messrs. Garwood and Terry
—s|sike against the granting of the
Injunction. Attorney General Looney
closed the argument for the state.
Attorney for the railroads attacked
the application for a restraining order
on the main ground that the court
here has not jurisdiction to set aside
an order of the Interstate Commerce
Gotti mission. However, there were
other minor matters brought up and
the arguments presented were strong,
and much law, wa- read to the court,
Judge Russell “requiring the attorneys
to quote the statutes freely, on both
sides. One (mint made by tlie attor-
neys for the railroads is that the at-
torney geuoral made it appear in his
petition that the railroads are seeking
an injunction, and It. was declared
that no such position Is occupied b,v
the railroads: that an Injunction was
grunted to the railroads by Judge
Pardee of Texarkana, sitting as a dls-
a wlmt embargo. (Continued on page four.)
