Many of St. I ouim Hotel Keepers Are
Kaising Their Rates.
Dallas. May 23.—Tn discussing his
recent trip to Rt. Louis, Frank Hol-
land. one of the Texas World's Fair
commissioners, said today:
I believe that the St: Louis hotel
keepers will soon find that they have
killed the goose that laid the golden
egg if they continue to raise prices. The
proprietors of the- hotels agreed not to
make any chances in their schedule
of prices during the fair, and that was
one of the inducements advertised to
attract the American people to St.
touts. Many of the hotel keepers
have not kept faith, and it is up to St.
Louis to discipline them I went to a
big hotel and was charged $6 per day
for a room on' the fifth floor, or just
double the ordinary charge. When the
World’s Fair commenced in Chicago the
hotel men tried to raise prices, but
they soon found that it would not pay
and dropped back to the old schedule.
However, one can get board and lodg-
ing for a reasonable sum in private
homes that offer all advantages of
high-priced hotels."

Harry Moere KllIs HImself With Heavy
q Caliber Pistol.
Dublin, Texas, May 23. — (Special.) —
At about 12:30 o’clock today Harry
Moore, a prominent citizen of this place,
killed himself by shooting himself
through the head with a 45-caliber pis-
tol. He was in an upstairs room of the
Oneal hotel when the deed was com-
mitted. and had gotten the weapon from
an adjotoing room and shut himself up.
The pistol was pointed at about the
middle of the forehead and fired, the
ball coming out at the back of the
head, causing instant death.
Mr Moore has long been a prominent
business man of Dublin and for some
years was financially interested with
the firm of G. B. Maloney & Co. of this
place. Some eighteen months ago he
severed his connection with this firm
and last season bought cotton in Gran-
bury. Prior to his residence In Dub-
lin he was prominent in business cir-
cles in Comanche. Mr. Moore was about
50 years old and leaves a wife and five
children He had carried a policy in
the sum of $2,000 in the New York Life
Insurance company for the last
eighteen years which was in force at
the time of his death. Funeral services
will be held in this city tomorcow aft-
ernoon.

Dallas Police Worried.
Dallas May 22—The majority of
th* Dallas police department are much
worried about their jobs these days,
although few of them are doing much
talking. They are following the ex-
ample of Police Commissioner Blay-

subject of appointments. It is con-
ceded. however, that the present chief.
Epps G. Knight, will be re-appointed
and Sterling Price will become a can-
tain. Mr. Blaylock states that he will
make the announcement of his ap-
pointments June 1.

ceeet with the heajing of reports as
so far forgotten that ths old soldiers of both aides
may fraternise. It does not seem rational for the
churches to-roesite.
The lines for reunion and consolidated governmient
are not for toymen to consider.’ It may be neceasary
for the -present conrrences assemblies and amsocia-
tions to retain their territorial jurisdictions for the
reason that the consolidated boles would be too
unwielaly. . But there is reason for union within
certain lines for the conduct of the churches And
it seems to be an unnatural condition for men of one
faith in one country to stapd wholly apart and to
work along •operate and more er less conflicting
lines for the same general purposes of religion.
Direct co-operation, if not organic union, would be
an example of large tnfluence if nothing more.

in which he pointed out the advantages
of Colombus as a place of assembly.

was Fresno, Cal.
Decatur, III. bras strongly urged for
the honor, but was second in the race,
with a total of 59, while Fresno the
successful city, received 169 votes.
What militated more in Fresno a fa-

statement made by the representative
making the nominating speech that the
railroads had signified their Intention
of making a less than one fare rate for

would be entertained by the city ab-
