PPhiladelplhia, Pa., July 11.?The |J of the railroads against the con- |, 6litulWna'il-y of the 2-cent railroad t, fare l?w of Pennsylvania began here f, today w^bon a hearing on the equity case insMtuted by the Pennsylvania railroad ft* restrain 4he city and county fron^ji enforcing the law was begun before Jmflges Wilson and And- ^ enrioil in commoii pleas court number four. ft President Jaimls McCreary of the Pennsylvania raiWroad was in court all day and will p.ifobably lake the wit- a, ne.ss stand tomorrow. Anion [die I' witnesses examined today were: Capt. John P. Green, first vice president of the company and Max liiebenaek, the corporation's comptroller. The general contention of the railroad company is that the law is un- Sl constitutional, that tlhe 2-cent rate is *v< unreasonable and that the law was enacted without any in vesication be- '' ing made as to the fairness of the rate. The company, through its comp- w It roller presented figures to show that the average rate per passenger ppr 'l mile on the Pennsylvania lines in this 01 state for the first three months of 01 the present year was as follows: One way passengers 2.40(5 cents; excursions or round trip 2.100 cents; commutation 1.04(1 cents, and mileage * I. 2 cents, or a general average for all classes of paxseners of 1.007 cents. The company also presented tig- ? iires to show that it' the 2-cent faro j law 'had been in force during January, February and Mardi of this year, the passenger business of the company would have shown a deficit, r Much of the day was taken up in cross examination in an effort to / learn by what method the company r separated the passenger earnings from r freight, etc. * p TWO-CENT RATE * SCAN NOT BE ENFORCED * Richmond, Yu.. .luly 11.?The cor- jj poration commission and any or all , of ils members, agents or employes ? were notified today by I'nited Sla1- q os Marshal Treat of the injunction issued by the federal circuit court ns against any fui'ther attempt to enforce the 2-cent rate law upon the vMEirailrunds engaged in contesting it ftjEffond were forbidden to publish the raijjrder placing it in effect. a n<'vvsl,iM'l'|'s ?f Richmond are ' MjlSSin'duded in the injunction, being foruwhiddon to publish the general order of J 9'/the corporation commission of April af 27, p.'omulgat ing the 2-cent rate. * I CLEMSON MAY HAVE i EIGHT HUNDRED MEN ^ If the New Dormitory is Completed By August 15.?No New r Commandant. The State. ('lenison College, July 11.?The board of trustees of Clemson college;"" adjourned today after a session of near'v ihree days. All of the members of the board have returned to their respective homes. T'.e matter of a commandant for q the college is still unsettled, (before ^ the special meeting of the board in |t August, a ci nvmittee consisting of f?. ()j Duncan Bid linger, Alan Johnstone, W. I). Evans and President Mell will ^ visit the war department at Washing'ton concerning a commandant. The members of t'he hoard have practically decided that they want an army olficer in preference to a gfradi nate of some military academy who i has not seen service. Your eorrcs- 'c ,,.;v pondent could not learn whether the visit of this committee to the depart- j\ orient is in anywise connected with Commandant (.'lav's leaving the col- . i "A lege. .The motion h> ^cpairate the experiment stations from the agricul- A tural department has been tabled and no separation will be made. The *p stations will remain in the same associal ion with the agricultural department ns heretofore. It is understood cf that the board will consider the enlargement of tihe stations at the spec- A aal meeting in August. In after, these experimental ?ta- f tions are the direct cause of the spec in ial meeting. The members of the board do not, agree on tiho policy on -which the experimental stations should ^ be run. The visit of the committee to Washington probably has some connection with these stations. ^ Whether Hie enrollment in the college proper this year shall be (>00 or L , 00 has not boon determined upon. If m k',,CMl Jl,e board moots in August, ii lids that tho now donnitorv is noar oinplotioii or is completed'then the umber of students will be increased i> NOD. While tiho boi.tr,I of trustees id not take final notion in those iniorlanl matters at this meeting, much as accomplished beoauso evorythinir 4 in shape now for final action at lie August meeting.
