KANSAS CITY, MO., Dec. 20.— Federal Judge McPherson dismissed “without prejudice” the cases filed by thirteen df the eighteen railroads in volved in the Missouri rate cases, en joining the State from enforcing the rate laws. • Judge McPherson also refused to retain jurisdiction in the Federal Court on probable refund suits against the railroads for overcharges since the passage of the 2-cent passenger and maximum freight rate laws. Two hours after Judge McPherson’s decrees were made public, Attorney General John T. Barker, at Jefferson City, filed a suit In the Cole County Circuit Court to enforce the collec tion of freight and passenger excess charges against the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company, which involves millions of dollars. The Attorney General also had bis force work over time drawing petitions for similar suits against all of the railroad com panies included in the litigation. Late this afternoon the thirteen railroads losing by Judge McPher son’s decrees filed written motions asking for additional clauses in the proposed decrees. Acting upon the filing of these mo tions, Judge McPherson, shortly be fore the adjournment of court, or dered that the entry of his decrees of the morning session be continued un til January 10, and until said mo tions are heard and determined no one of the decrees be entered. The latest order, attorneys for the railroads assert, prevents suits for overcharges being filed until after January 10, or until the hearings of the motions.
