Federal Jurist Makes Two Sweeping Decisions Affecting Cases Which Figured Prominently. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 22. (Spe cial.) Their ultimate effect being the return to W. R. Crawford of control of the Seattle. Renton & Southern Rail way Company from which he was ousted last Fall by Peabody, Hough teling & Co., of Chicago, two sweeping decisions today were handed down by Federal Judge Edward E. Cushman in the United States District Court. Fed eral receivers appointed by former Judge C. H. Hanford were discharged, Jurisdiction of the Federal Court over the receivership proceedings which had been previously upheld by ex-Judge Hanford and Judge Frank H. Rudkln, of Spokane, was denied and the entire matter of the railway company and Crawford, involving $1,000.000 in loans and securities, was remanded back to the state courts. In practically all of the points for which Crawford had contested lnt the Federal courts, he was upheld by Judge Cushman. At any event, according to the court's order, the entire insolvency matter will be threshed out and de termined in the state court before it can be brought back into the Federal Court again. The case figured prom inently in the Hanford impeachment hearing. Outside of the strictly legal points Involved in the controversy the court held that If the allegations of Crawford's petition alleging conspiracy on the part of Peabody, Houghteling & Co., of Chicago, and others were true, the stockholders of the streetcar line were so enmeshed In final deals that they were unable to protect themsolves. The decisions today culminated a bit ter legal fight extending over many months and extending from the State Supreme Court' of Washington to the Federal Court of Appeals at San Fran cisco. Whether appeal will be taken to the latter body from today's decisions has not yet been determined. EDUCATIUN NEEDS TOLD SPRINGFIELD HEARS STATE VISI VERSITY PRESIDENT.
