Alleges Chicago Concern Was Shown Favoritism by Low Freight Rates. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 27. —Recovery of $81,477X0 is sought by the Standard Trust company of New York in a suit filed in the chancery court here against the Tennesse Central Railroad company. This suit grows out of alleged rights of complainants by reason of financing said railroad. The trust company then sets up an additional claim of $42,205.11 by reason of a contract of the defendant with the Holcomb-Lobb company of Chicago, it being alleged that the Chicago concern was granted a freight rate lower than other shippers.
