The lAickenbach, under command of
Capt. \V. J. Connell, arrived here from

severe experiences.
The Mary B Judge left Mobile for
San Juan August 8, with a cargo of
lumber. She was due here In tlv
early part of September, but during
a considerable part of the voyage
calms prevailed. She ran into a gsle

carried away and she was absolutely
helpless. The heavy seas opened her
seams and the soon filled with water.
The captain and his erew lashed
then selves to the top of the poop,
which was the only part of the ves
sel above water. All they had suc
ceeded in saving was a llt'le hard
tack and a gallon of water.
The wa er was exhausted In 21
hours and the hard tack was doled
on- one to each mar. dally. On the

ASKED COURT TO

JUNCTION
HEARING TUESDAY
Several Judges Will Sis in
the Court by Special Re
quest of Attorney Gener
al Bonaparte.
BALTIMORE, Md.—The Interstate
commerce commission filed its answer
In the United Htates circuit court to the
application made by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad for a preliminary Injunc
tion restraining the commission from en
forcing an order regarding the distribu
tion of coal cats. The point on which
lhe case hangs Is the same as that In the
Pitcalr Coal Company case, which w;ih
decided the ‘(.tier day by the United
Ktaies circuit court of appeals at
Richmond, against the Haltlrnoro and
Ohio. *
The present case has been set for a
hearing meet Tuesday and Judge Morris,
Goff and Pritchard will sit in the local
court to hear II ii tis special request
of Attorney General Hone part.
In the Pitcairn case Judge Morris de
cided that the railroad must Include
"private cars" in distributing Its cars
to Independent operators but he did not
think that eo-mlb-d "foreign railway
fuel cars" should be so Included. Then
the Interstate commerce commission
! passed an order requiring the Baltimore
1 and Ohio and other railroad* to Include
j "private cars” In making their dlstrfy
! buttons. To this order the Baltimore and
t Ohio objected, claiming that the point
was then before the circuit court of ap
peals and the the commission was In
fringing upon the duties of the court
In passing such an order. It demand* a
preliminary Injunction restraining tho
commission from enforcing the order.
The next step In the case, came a few
days ago. when the circuit court of ap
peals handed down a decision In the
| Pitcairn case reversing Judge Morris' d#
j f ittion with regards to the "foreign rail
j way fuel" carr and sustaining him with
■ regards to the "private car*."
