Miss., May 29.—(Special.)—Fed eral Judge Henry Niles has dissolved the temporary injunction granted the lum ber dealers of Mississippi some days ago restraining the railroads doing business in this state from increasing the rates on lumber 2 cents per hundred. The decision is the most important de cided in this state for many years, the lumber business being the largest several railroads handle. Judge Niles stated that the real ques tiou presented was whether the federal court, working through its powers o£ equity and by its right of injunction, can, in effect, fix and perpetuate sched ule of freight rates. He does not think tlie court has jurisdiction to grant the relief sought and for that reason sus tained tlio demurrer, dissolved the in junction ami dismissed the bill. That means the railroads hauling lum ber from points in Mississippi to points out of the state, especially to Ohio river points and beyond and west of Buffalo and Pittsburg, may increase rates 2 cents per hundred pounds, which is an im portant item.
