Last Sunday’s special article on the in-

the taxpayers. The concluding article on
next Sunday will be quite as interesting
a paper. What shall Galveston county
do with her insane? Will the state of
Texas care for the insane, and what ef-
forts are being made to that end? Prop-

A HOUSTON FAILURE.
Houston, Tex., April 17.—J. Golden-
roth, retail grocer at 10 Custom street,
has filed a chattel mortgage to secure lo-
cal creditors in the sum of about $250.
Cleveland, O., April 17.—Robert Fitz-
simmons, the prize fighter, came within
an inch of being electrocuted last night.
As it was, his pet lion Nero- was killed,
and Fitzsimmons' Was severely shocked
and quite seriously burned.
On account of the extremely warm
■wtather, the lion yesterday was taken to
the ro-o-f of the Rumsey gymnasium, on
Erie street, where he was- chained up.
Shortly after midnight last night, Fitz-
simmons, accompanied by. Ernest Roeber,
the- wrestler, and Louis Robinson, an at-
tache of the gymnasium, went up on the
roof to see . the animal. Up-on reaching
the roof Fitz called to the lion, which,
upon hearing his master’s voice, sprang
forward to the length of the chain and
over some electric light wires. A shower
of sparks quickly followed at the con-
tact -with the wires. The lion received a
shock, and again sprang toward. Fitz-
simmons, -who sprang back against the
wall of the adjoining building. The lion
-sprang past him, drawing the chain taut
against, the pugilist’s thighs, who cringed
under the -severe shock. In his agony the
lion leaped over the edge of the roof and
hung by the neck. Fitzsimmons was
pulled from under the chain and removed
to- his hotel.
There is a burn across his thighs and
a small burn on the knuckle of the index
finger -of the right hand. That is all the
visible evidence of the terrible ordeal, al-
though Fitzsimmons was in a dazed con-
dition for over an hour. When the lion
was pulled up from the -side of the build-
ing where -suspended he- was dead.

Charron, Neb., April 17.—A new phase
of the fight on the Fort Robinson can-
teen came up today when a United States
marshal arrived from Omaha with writs
of habeas corpus in favor of one of the
army officers in the custody of the sheriff
for operating the canteen. The sheriff
was required to show to the United
States court by what authority he holds
United States army officers for alleged
offenses committed on property over
which the federal government has ex-
clusive control. Those who inspired the
arrest of the canteen officers primarily
are anxious to -drop the matter, but the
fort officers insist that the issue be set-
tled for future consideration.

Mr. Morton 'Says Justice Will Be Done
on Grain Rates.
The Santa Fe train due to leave here
at 1.40 p. m. was delayed 10 minutes this
afternoon and the delay was caused by
the tardiness of Vice President Morton
and Traffic Manager Biddle, whose spe-
cial car was attached to the regular
train. Mr. Titus, the general live stock
agent of the road, was on hand at train
time and wondered where the other mem-
bers of the party were.
At 1.50 Messrs. Morton and Biddle put
in their appearance. For about a minute
a Tribune man talked with Mr. Morton
and the conversation related to the grain
rate.
Mr. Morton was asked what the Santa
Fe proposed to do since the Missouri Pa-
cific had entirely disregarded the rates
fixed by Arbitrators Faithorn and How
and made low7 rates to New Orleans,
which would operate against Galveston.
Mr. Morton replied that he would in-
vestigate the matter with Mr. J. B. Den-
ison, commissioner of the Galveston
freight bureau, and justice would be
dose.
At the depot w7ere Daniel-Ripley, Su-
perintendent of Transportation Downs
of the Santa Fe and other railroad men.
who gathered there to bid the party
farewell.
Commissioner Denison and General
Freight Agent L. J. Polk of the Santa Fe
accompanied the party. Mr. Denison
will accompany the railroaders as far as
Austin. He had just returned this morn-
ing from an extended trip to St. Louis
and Chicago.
The Morton party expect to be in Chi-
cago in about 10 days.
THE CASE QUASHED.
This morning in the recorder’s court
the cases against Contractor L. J. Smith,
Superintendent Simmons and other em-
ployes of the Galveston, La Porte and
Houston, charged with violating the rail-
road ordinance, were called. Col. Walter
Gresham appeared for the defendants
and moved that the complaint be quashed
for the reason that the warrants of ar-
rest charged the defendants with cross-
ing the international and Great North-
ern tracks, when it should have read the
' Galveston, Houston and Henderson
tracks. Fie also said that under the state
statute a railroad had the right to cross
another road when granted permission
by the city, and the La Porte road ob-
tained this right from the city council
same time ago.
The motion to quash the complaint was
sustained by Recorder Johnson.
None of the defendants appeared in
court this morning.
The following dispatch from Fort
Worth to the Houston Post confirms the
statement made in The Tribune a few
days ago to.the effect that the Missouri
Pacific had ignored the arbitrators’ tariff
on Kansas and Nebraska grain:
It is reported here today that the Gould
interests are preparing to issue an inde-
pendent tariff on export grain from Kan-
sas, Nebraska and other northwestern
points in favor of New Orleans, which
will overcome the -differential recently
established in Galveston’s favor by
Messrs. Faithorn and Howe, constituting
the board of arbitration. The Missouri
Pacific, it is understood, will take such
action for the protection of the Texas
and Pacific, which is its gulf outlet. The
other lines have accepted the findings of
the arbitrators and have issued tariffs in
accordance therewith. But, notwith-
standing 16 days have elapsed since the
agreed rates went into effect, no tariff has
yet been issued by the Missouri Pacific.
Local railway men say the -effect of the
Missouri Pacific’s -action in issuing an in-
dependent tariff in favor of New Orleans
will be met by Galveston lines and the
effect will be disastrous to the recently
effected agreement.
The Fort Worth news, however, is not
quite as fresh as The Tribune’s informa-
tion. It may be that “no tariff has yet
been issued by the Missouri Pacific,” in
the sense that printed sheets are scat-
tered broadcast, but a systematic exnort
tariff has been prepared and is available
for the inspection of Kansas, Missouri
and Nebraska shippers whenever they
get ready to move grain, and here it is:

As will be seen, the Missouri Pacific’s
rates to New Orleans are from the same
to 6 cents lower than the arbitrator's
rates to Galveston. As th-e arbitrators
gave Galveston a differential of from 1
to 3 cents under New Orleans, it will be
seen that the Missouri Pacific’s tariff
amounts to a cut of from 1 to 9 cents.
