SAD CONDITION OF MR. HOGG.
EVILS OF PRIVATE CAR LINES.
He Realizes THat His Illness Is Grave "With Railroads Operating' THeir Own Refrigerator
Chances Against His Recovery.
Cars Give Shippers Lower Rates.
Kurt Worth. Texas, Oct, is -(Juv.
Hogg- condition was stated hist night
to In- extremely critical Thia in the
opinion given by the attending physi-
clans. They even go further and say
thai tne distinguished Texan may
pass away a: any moment. It is be
Iseveil that the former governor him-
self m> pmH/cs that his condition
binders on tiie fatal and that hi* has
made up nimind to llglii death as
vigorously ami vehemently as he has
championed the (|iiestloiis ot' pubiic
importance (o his native state
There is a pathetic and sail side to
l ho governor's Illness, in that while it
was evident that he was a very sick
man last Saturday night. wIvmi he
reached this city on his way from
Latnpa-as to Mineral Wells, he could
not make himself believe thai his Ill-
ness would reach the fatal stage of
yesterday He tallied ill unite a dif-
fereni strain Monday night and yes-
terday morning to warm friends who
were admitted to his room than he
did last Sunday, the last day he was
permitted to see whomsoever hi'
pleased. Sntila> afternoon he was
cheerful. Saturuay night when he
leached the city he was exhausted
from the trip from Lampasas. and
there was <verv indication then that
he was tar from a well man. Hut it
is believed now that the governor felt
that the trip had tired him more man
he though' 1 would and he attributed
hi* depression to Ibis rather than
than the beiief 1 hut he was iu immi-
nent danger
For several nights the governor had
had hut lit lie sleep. probably two
hours or less each night, and this had
worried 11 ini considerably.
The governor's friends here do not
believe that he could have realized
thai lie is as seriously ill a man as lie
is, because he held out to the last that
he did not think It was necessary te
enter the abdominal cavity and draw
water, which the dotcors told him
would, if not removed, gradually
reach the vitals, with its consequent
fatal results.
Willi 'lie skin iu its present inflatn
t'tl condition the question for deter
initiation is, would it be safe to in
trodtice any sort of an instrument into
the patient's abdomen. On the other
hand, a delay now is regarded as e\
tremely dangei uis to the patient, the
fear being that unless the waier Is
drawn from the abdominal cavity thai
It may continue to press Its destroy-
ing way to vital points
A prominent doctor concludes that
file governor's ease is one of cardiac
dropsy

TRAFFIC IN WOMEN.
Americans Lured to China Under Ly
mg Prom ses and Sold to Chinamen.
Chicago, 111 : Traffic In young
American women purchased In Chica
go for sale in China has been iliscov
ei ed by local Federal and police an
thoritles, but thus far no law has
been found prohibiting the exporting
of American women to foreign coun-
tries.
The police are In possession of the
names of two women, one in Chicago
aud another in Shanghai, who are be
lleved to be leaders in the practice
The plan used in the operation of
the alleged ring was, it is believed, to
hire unsuspecting women, tempt
ing them with lurid stories of wealth
in the Orient. A position of maid or
high servant in wealthy Chinese fam-
ilies is said to have been the bail of
lured
To bind the contract the applicant
for the position was told that her
traveling and living expenses would be
paid and all the clothing necessary
furnished.
When the women reached Chicago
they were Immediately placed under
guard and sent to the purchasers, who
had previously paid > ' >tn $500 to $1,000
tor each. Many are supposed to be
held in palaces of wealthy Chinese
under heavy guard.

I sen 11> extend into a legal and legisla
tive battle against private ear lines
I was precipitated by the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday at
! the heginlng of the hearing instituted
tc show the connect loll between refrig
orator car lines and railroads.
Counsel for the '■•inimlssion directed
every effort to bring out the tact that
the great railroad systems operating
, their own refrigerator lines give their
shippers a much lower rate for refrig
elation than is obtained on roads thai
are compelled to operate in conduction
with private car lines In this the
railroads, notably the Illinois Central
and Pennsylvania, through their traf
he managers who were on the stand
the greatei pa t of the day, apparently
aided the commission
As a result there were many sharp
tilts between the counsel for the com-
mission and the attorneys for the At
niour lines and other private compa-
nies. The action of the commission
In Initialing this prosecution has the
double purpose of establishing Its ju
lisdiction over private car lines and
correcting the evils complained of
i The chief interest is expected to tie
velop on the point of Jurisdiction
| Chairman Knapp opened the hearing
bv reviewing the proceedings institut-
ed and calling up the Iirst case which
was directed against practically all of
I the roads of the Soul hea tern states
j and the Arniout lines. These roads
were representeil by C. B. Northrup

Monk 'Jlhson go to Bexar county on >i
change of venue. The orders were en-
tered early Wednesday morning and by
!) o'clock the defendant, in the ctislodv
of tTie sheriff and the Hangers, was
en route to the Jail in San Antonio.
The order was entered and (Jlhson was
on his way to his destination before it
was generuly known that the change
of venue would be made No one
looked for the removal to be so speed
ily and quietly accomplished As the
prisoner, handcuffed, was led to the
depot accompanied by sheriff and Han
gers, it was surmised by those who
saw it that (libson was Hoi tig taken
away, and a few followed them to the
depot out of curiosity to see the de
parture of one eenerally regarded by
the people of tins section as the great
est youthful criminal of this age
There are some who feel w rat by be-
cause of the ordei made by the judge
transferring the case to another coun-
ty for trial, while others say he only
did what lie regarded as his legal duty
in the premises.

ed the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion In bringing oir* the evidence and
examining witnesses, sisu-d that sev-
eral roads had not tiled contracts ex
istIng with car lines and these were
called for by Ciia rman Knapp
Mr. I'rion for the Armour v'.ir Lines
objected to the proceeding until the
commission had announced the general
scope and purpose of the inquiry and
Indicated whether there is to be a con
crete (hiding on which some subse-
quent proceedings could be had
The commission, after consultation,
announced that formal complaint* had
been tiled against specific companies
to ascertain .whether their charges are
reasonable oi if discriminations are
made against any persons and that It
was not prepared to say what Its sub
sequent course would be.
Chairman Knapp said he presumed
ii would be ihe duty of the commission
to make a definite order against any
defendants found guilty of violating
the regulation)- and dismiss proceed
lugs In specific cases where the proof*
sustain the denials of any one or more
roads or car lines.
