Austin. April 10.—(Special.)—There
'seems some likelihood that most of the
equipment order, recently issued by
' the railroad commission will he dis-
missed. Upon application of the Cot-
ton rIt and one or two other roads
the commission has dismissed the or-
ders requiring them to purchasevaddi.
tional rolling stock and cars, and last
week Commissioner Storey made a mo-
tion to dismiss the orders against all
of the railroads.
Today the commission received an
application from the Galveston Hen-
derson & San Antonio railway and the
Texas A New Orleans railway for the
dismissal of the order requiring it to
purchase additional equipment, pointing
out that the decrease in business, the
money stringency and other things
would prevent its compliance with the
order at this time and upon this appli-
cation. Chairman Allison Mayfield
made a motion to suspend the order as
applying to these lines, while Commis-
sinner Colquitt dissented. Commission-
er Storey is absent from the city, but
taking into consideration his motion
, of last week, he will probably join
Chairman Mayfield and vote to suspend
the order _
nounced today.

Continuing, Judge Simmons said:
"My. chage and the jury's verdict
were in accordance with Weathington a
own admission on the stand that he
had suspected his wife and Booth; had
listened at the telephone the day of
the tragedy and imitated his wife’a
voice; had hitched the horse to the
buggy for his wife, suspecting where
she was going, had then armed himself
with his revolver and followed her to
the city park, where he had watched - .—
them together from behind a pank; Perior convention city
ana had then followed them into the be advanced.

a plain case of manslaughter.

Albany. April 10.—Rev. Joseph Gra-

church of the Blessed Sacrament, killed
himself by shooting in the vestry of

Mrs. Webb Arrested.
Chicago. April 10.—Mrs. Alice Webb,
divorced wife of Brodie L. Duke, the
millionaire tobacco manufacturer, wan
arrested yesterday on a warrant charg-
ing her with having defrauded a Chi-
’ cago hotel company by means of fraud-
gone before I could not see my way
clear to grant a new trial under the
circumstances.
"I would suggest, if the matter was
put up to me. that there exists a board
of pardons ih the state, whose business
it is To Investigate just such cases as
this, but so far as the evidence in the
■ case ana the jury’s verdict are con-
, cerned, I cannot see that there is any
other course for Weathington s friends
to pursue. I have not the ■lightest
feeling in the world against Weath-
ington, but these are the facts.
Mayor Riden Interested: '
A great many people throughout the
county have believed all along in
Weathington’s cause, and Mayor Riden
of Rosen Heights is one of his cham-
pions. The mayor came out yester-
day tn the statement that he thought
Weathington justified under the cir-
cumstances, and announced himself ar
in favor of the abolition of grand ju*
ries and a lenient law governing cases
involving the unwritten law. Just the
day before, Mrs. E. R. Doak of Rosen
Heights announced her determination
to make a house to house canvass in
the interest of a new trial or pardon
for Weathington.
Judging from Judge Simmons stand
in the matter, the only chance now
left for Weathington’s supporters is to
take the matter up with the board of
pardons.

A majority of its stockholders reside
in Big Sandy, but several reside in Dal-

other towns. The property of the
company at organisation consists of an
artificial lake nearly one mile long.
800 feet wide an 26 feet of water at
the big dam that supports the water.
This great body of water is kept pure
by many everlasting springs, and is as
clear as San Marcos river. It is al-
ready well stocked with fish and a
large clubhouse is in contemplation.
The trainmen on the Texas & Pacific
say this is the prettiest body of water
in Texas, from Texarkana to El Paso.
It bids fair to become a famous pleas-

Philadelphia. April 10.—Industrial,
sociological and political problems of
the times were discussed at length here
today at the annual meeting of the
Academy of Political and Social Science
by men prominent in various walks of
life.
"The Present Business Situation and
Anti-Trust Legislation," was the topic
for discussion at the afternoon meet-
ing. The speakers were Samuel Gom-
pers, president of the American Fed-
eration of Labor; Charles P. Neill. com-
missioner of labor; William J. Schief- ;
felin, vice president of the National
Association of Wholesale Druggists;
Isadore Strauss and George L. Duval
of New York and Theodore Marburg of
Baltimore.
All of the speakers were optimistic
as to the financial and business out-
loc k.
Mr. ompers said that if fifty busi-
ness men were to go before a just
judge and give their opinions as to
the cause Of the recent financial and
industrial disturbance, he was of the
opinion that they could not agree, but
he desired to make it plain that what-
ever the cause, the working people
were not to blame. The fact that such
conditions existed, he declared, should
be taken as a lamentable commentary
on the methods of the princes of
finance and captains of industry. The
workers, Mr. Gompers said, were not
in favor of a species of governmental
action that denies the right to a busi-
ness man to conduct modern business
within the law.
Commissioner Neill said that the
Sherman law was trying to restore ab-
solutely ♦ free and unrestrained com-
petition. but the government could
never bring back such a condition.
The association or combination, he
held, was the only intelligent means of
preventing destruction by competition.

cuit court of appeals. Chicago, on "The
Scope, the Limit and the Duty of the

ticle by its correct name and accept no

"To carry out this plan would re-
quire no small sum of money," ex-
plained Secretary Shelton, "but fruits
would make the outlay look insignifi-
cant. There the products and articles
of home manufacture would be listed in
full detail and stand out upon the
wall as a constant reminder of the
duty the consumers owe to their home
town. There is no doubt in my mind
that this scheme, if executed, would
mean more to the home industry move-
ment than most anything that could
be contrived.
"We are not selfish about this matter.”
continued Mr. Shelton. "The idea ‛s
to list all home products, regardless of
whether every manufacturer is affiliat-
ed with this league, which will bear
the cost. We go on the theory that if
a manufacturer will not boost his own
business we owe to Fort Worth and
to the upbuilding of the manufacturing
reputation of the city to spend our
own money t help the lethargical fel-
low. However, we expect to soon have
yery manufactory in the county asso-
ciated with this movement. But there
is one thing definite. if this plan is put
through every article of home manu-
