ARREST Of MR. FINLEY.
Very Senaational Development In.
North Carolina Rato Case Trouble.
Ashoville, N. Special.?'l'he cli
max in the railroad rate matter was
reached Saturday morning when JV.
\V. Finley, president of the Southern
Railway Company, was served with
warrant at the Battery Park Hotel,
charging him with aiding and abet
ting in the violation of the North
Carolina passenger rate law. The
warrant for President Finley's ar
rest was sworn out by Police Cap
tain Lvlerly at the instance of Po
lice Justice (1. S. Reynolds and wad
served by Police Ollicer Branch Wil
liams. The news of the arrest of
Pvesidept Finley spread like wikl
tire and soon every one on the streeis
had something tj say about it. It
was the one topic of conversation,
the sensation of the day. President
1'inley, however, did not pay a visit
I > the city police court, as was in
tended Before the ollicer serving (ho
paper could execute the command
to "Have the body of \V. \V. Finl >y
in police court" a I'nited States dep
uty marshal served a writ from tho
United States Circuit Court on the
police ollicer and Mr. 1'inley the mar
shal and the patrolman found their
way to the United States Federal
Building instead of Justice Reynold'a
court. The warrant served by tint
police ofticer charged Mr. Finley as
president of the Southern Railway
Company with aiding and abetting in
the violation of the State rate law by
^Meeting more than 2 1-1 c*nts a
mile passenger fare. J he warrant
was issued under the common law.
During the hearing on the writ of
habeas corpus before Judge Pritehard
considerable testimony was had rel
ative to whether or not the applica
tion for the writ was made before the
warrant for Finley's arrest was sew
ed. Mr. Finley was sworn and gave
testimonv. He said that he verified
the application for a writ for his re
lease after the ollicer had appeared
k-iiV_his rooup* and served the warrant.
There is *A rumor that contempt pro
ceedings may be begwii against the
parties who arc responsible for the
arrest of Mr. Finlyy although noth

Judge Pritchard's Original
Decree is Modified
RAILROADS FIRE PARTING SHOT
The Southern and Coast Line Appear
Before Jduge Fritchard and Ask
That Ilia Interlocutory Injunction
Bo Changed so They Can Comply
With the "Peaco" Terms.
Asheville, N. (\, Special.?Tho
final chapter was written in the con
flict of State anil Federal cotlrfs nn<i
the . violation, I In* railroad^ ?,f
the now passenger rate law of U l-l
cents when the Southern Itaifwuv
ami the Atlantic Coast Line appear
ed before Federal Judge Priteha.-d
AJonday afternoon and filed a peti
tion praying that the ^Ft -v
the original decreo uirfT tljus permit
the railroads to comply with the
terms of "peace" as agreed upon
Kajoigh Saturday afternoon. The
railroads' attorneys and several ?,fi
ficiuls were in court during the for
nialities Incident to the "surrender."
I hat the railroads are sore is frank
ly admitted. They declare that tlioy
have been baill.v used, and that in ef
feet they were clubbed into beeoini.ix
a party to the agreement effected at
Kaleigh. The petition presented to
Judge Pritcard covers about ill
typewritten pages wherein the inci
dents of the past several days are
reel ted, including the correspondence
between (Jovernor CJlenu and Solici
tor Brown.
One railroad attorney declared
tat never before in the United State*
bad such a disorderly proceeding
taken place, under the forms of law
as the compelling of the railroads 10
relinquish their legal rights under
threat of more serious things hap
pening 1o them.
i he railroads declare, is effect that
the\ were cluhhcd into becoming par
ly to the agreement effected nT lial
eigh; that the public mind has been
inflamed by the newspapers and the
utterances of politicians and that the
agreement wrs only assented to un
der duress^ because of threats of an
extra session of the Legislature for
he purpose of adopting legislation
hostile to the railroads.
The request to make changes indi
cated in the petition was granted lw
Judge Pritehard, who in makin<r the
revised order said:
"lhe applications now made (.)
modify the injunctions heretofoie
glinted in these causes present a eon
(btioTh-nf affairs unprecedented in the
judiciay'annals of this countrv.
? ! a m"' complete hear
ing of I the ma Items raised by the
pleading in thesd pauses, injunctions,
ponding Nj houri/ig of the <pies|ions
involved in original suits, were
granted. The court, 111 granting such
injunctions, followed the course pur
sued by the Supreme Court pf the
united States in ,.ie cases of Bmit.Ji
T es' Ko??:an vs. Farmers Loan
?.V- J rust Companv. Col ting vs. Ka?
Afi.s Stock ^a.*ls C, nij'.anv and Pioit
vj Starr, and by the Circuit Court*
?< the United States in uumeroiM
ot her cases.
The effect of the order restroinir.g
the corporation commission of North
' arcIina et al. was lo preserve the
rights of the parties until the master
t > whom this cnu.M- had been referred
C'H.i.l hove an opportunity to repot:

P ?Mic, t he complainants were requir
m to gi\ e ample boud and seenriI\
to sccure the payment into the regis
try of the court a sum sufficient* lo
pay the difference between the pres
ent late and the proposed rate
those who might iu the meantime
purchase tickets.
"The defendants could have ap
pealed from my order grant in" a
temporary injunction, hut thev Tail
ed to do SO. Instead of appealing in
these cases, they filed an answer, and
the causes were then and there re
ferred fo a master in order that tho
evidence might be taken.
"It is unjust to say that the ques
tion of States' rights is involved in
this controversy. It is equally un
just to insist that uhat the court has
done m the premises was an interfer
ence on the iMu-t of the Federal Court
with tho State courts However, mi
the other hand there has been a mani
fest disposition on the part of tie!
State officials to interfere with the
fedcrlil Court in its procedure to do
equal justice between the complain
ants and tho defendants ami in tho
exerciso of those powers necessarily
incident tg the protection of its jurii
diction.
"If tli is kind of obstruction'should
prevail and the citizens are thus to he
denied the rights guaranteed them
by the. constitution of the United
States, then those provisions of iho
constitution would become a dead let
ter as there would be no means
enforcing them."
After referring to the interlocu-r
tory injunction, the argument and
opinion in the habeas corpus proceed*
inn the judge Mid!
"I feel no doubtto the sound
bom of these views as to th# jurisdic
tion of this court or its right and
duty to enter the interlocutory' de
cree or, in order to protect the jum
dietioh of this court, to discharge 01

Appeal from the order of this court
awarding tho said interlocutory in
juiietions, nothing remained except
for this court to pursue the ordciiv
consideration of Iht* cases and. nu a.i
while, to protect its jurisdiction an I
its processes when action on if- part
was lawfully invoked. The court
still considers that it would he d
duty to continue this protect ion
whenever its action on its pail wa*
luwfully invoked. Hut as the com
plainants, lor Ihe protection of vvho-p
