The greater portion of the very bulky

the conclusions of law as handed down
by Judge Jenkins require twenty-six
typewritten pages for elucidation.

In a few words, the court’s opinion
means that shippers can not have the
benefit of the low rates prevailing for
the handling of cotton in Houston, be-
prevailing in Galveston.

Jenkins makes about 16,0000 words, in-
cluding the pleadings of the appellant.

The Texas City Company has ac-
cepted the proposition of the Texas
City Investment Company for the
building of a modern hotel, which
will be three stories in height and
of reinforced concrete and tile con-
struction. Messrs J. H. Sieber and
Wm. Moore, officials of the company
assure the Times that the building
will be strictly modern in every re-
spect. It will occupy a space 75x11
feet on the northwest corner of 6th
street and 10th avenue north, and
will cost completed $40,0 00.00
The company is now asking for
competitive architectural designs,
and are specifying that the designs
must be so that additional stories
may be added to the building at any
time, and annexes built without im-
pairing the appearance of the struc-
ture.

PHONE 51
Austin, Tex.—The court of civil ap-
peals, Third district, in an opinion by
Judge Jenkins, Wednesday reversed
the district court of Travis county in
the Galveston Chamber of Commerce
vs. Railroad Commission of Texas, lay-
ing down the proposition that the so-
called Houston-Galveston differential
is, in effect, a discrimination against j
Galveston and therefore unlawful. The
court assumes that this differential is
enforced for the purpose or depriving
Galveston of certain alleged natural
advantages and refuses to recognize
the necessity of any charge for trans-
portation service between Houston j
I and Galveston.
We Meet Beyond the River.’ Af-
ter these services the funeral cort-

the interment took place. The fol-
