Injunction Moves in Missouri Dis
missed Without Prejudice—Re
fund Suits Then Filed.
KANSAS CITY, MO., Deo. 20.—
Federal Judge McPherson dismissed
“without prejudice” the cases filed by
thirteen of 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 slncft
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 his force work over
time drawing petitions for similar
suits against all of the railroad com
panies included in the litigation.
Date 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.

Opponents 75 to 23,
The Atlanta Athletic Club basket
ball team overwhelmed the Augusta
Y. M. C. A. quintet last night on the
local club’s court by the count of 7f>
to 23. The Atlanta boys showed some
class throughout the entire first half
In both passing and team work.
For the first time In many a game
the local team started the fireworks
right at the start and kept the goal
hot, scoring 29 beautiful field goals
and one foul goal during the period.
Forbes was the star of the night,
ringing 13 field shots.
The Augusta boys were only able to
garner four field goals over Carter
and Weaver, both boys playing a fine
game. The score at the end of the
first half was: Atlanta Athletic Club,
59; Augusta, 8. DuBard must come
in for some merits for his all-round
playing. He was ail over the floor,
breaking up passes, and managed to
ring the basket for eight fine field
goals. For Augusta, Hester at right
forward shot a couple of good fieid
goals. The whole team was full of
fight and never gave up a minute.
Joe Bean In the second half substi
tuted an entirely new line-up. Tho
visitors put up a good showjng against
the second-string men. This half was
marred by the injury of Ward Wight,
who had bis shoulder dislocated aft
er flvfe minutes of play. The locals
havlng no men in uniform, proceeded
to play the game out with four men.
