COMING COMMISSION HEARING.
It Is Being Looked Forward to With
Much Interest.
The bearing set by the Texas rail-
road commission for Sept. 4 is being
looked forward to with a great deal of
interest by traffic men and shippers.
The proposition is to make the new
amendment of the western classifica-
tion prescribing 30000 pounds as the
minimum weight for carload1- freights
below third class apply to Texas as
well as to interstate traffic. At pre-
sent the minimum weight on such
freights in Texas is 24000 pounds. In-
terest attaches to what the Texas com-
mission will do in the matter not
alone because of the influence their
ruling will have upon purely state traf-
fic but because the classification will
have to be withdrawn from interstate
traffic if it can not also be applied to
business moving within the state. At
the present time the rate of 32 cents
per 100 on bagging and ties from St.
Louis is for cars of not less than 30000
pounds whereas the rate of 18 cents
from Galveston and 15 cents from
Houston is for a minimum weight of
Z4.UUU pounds. The Texas shippers
thus have their usual differential ob-
served and have a little the advantage
of the Interstate shipper on the matter
of welgnt which in some Instances
outs a figure.
The publication of a rate of 80 cents
on first class freight from New York to
.Kansas City made by the Maine
Eteamsnio line Grand Trunk railroad
and the Burlington route mentioned
in a New York dispatch in yesterday's
News it is believed will bring on a
crisis in the Missouri river rate war.
WDiie tnis new route is or course an
other competitor in the field for the
business still it is believed that the
innovation will in a measure strength
en the position of the gulf lines. The
Atlantic port lines have protested
against the rates oarried by the gulf
route and the chief argument has been
that such rates via a long and circuit-
ous route were not justified. But the
new route just brought into play
is quite long and circuitous and the
rail haul is much longer than via the
gulf route. In fact the distance from
Portland. Me. where the Maine line
steamers land the goods to Kansas
City id much greater than the rail haul
from (j.lveeton or iNew Orleans to
Kansas City. It seems rather odd to
have a "rail and water route" making
rates lower than the rates made via
"all rail routes" when the rail haul
Dy tne former Is greater tban via
the latter but such is
the cote and the rates are justified be
cause of the water haul and the fact
that they are made to meet competition
by a similar route. Tne fact that the
rates from New York to Kansas City
-are now tne same as the rates from Chi
cago to Kansas City will bring a howl
from tbe Chicago people as well as
those of St. Louis. A weakening on
the part of the gulf lines is not much
looked for ana unless there is such
weakening with the number of impor
tant trade centers now involved a live-
ly time is expected. In the mean
while Kansas City is enjoying a good
thing. The young city on the Kaw has
in effect been situated'on both the Kaw
and Mississippi rivers. On goods re
ceived from tbe eastern manufactur
ing centers Kansas City now gets the
Decent of about the same rates as St.
Louis but when it comes to distribut
ing them to the trade in Kansas Ne
orassa umanoma etc. tne rates are
lower tban those from St. Louis. It is
easy to 6ee what the result of this will
be if Kansas City permanently lands
upon a rate basis any where near that
at present In force. Atjd to the Gal
veston route Kansas City owes this
piece of fortune. St. Louis Republic.
missioners according to tbe statement
heard and they have decided to dis
pense with his services.
It is a well known fact that Mr. Un
derbill has not been on good terms
with the Southern Pacific system for
some months in fact since be severed
his connection with that road several
years ago. There is a great deal to be
told about this severance between Un
aerniii ana tne southern raolnc sys
tem. Little has been told as yet.
it is cnargea tnac wniie in tne em
pioyment of tbe roaa Underbill came
into possession of certain important
secrets of tbe road which he later re
vealed to the United States interstate
and the Texas commissions relative to
rebates furnished by tbe road.
It is also learned that this informs
tion after it had been secured was not
of much value without additional mat-
ter which he did not secure. Entering
the Texas Railroad Commission ser
vice he attempted as its representa
tive upon frequent occasions to get
entrance to the railroad company's
books.' Upon the firstoccasion he went
there while off on a vacation and not
in tne employment of tbe commission
He was refused a sight of the books
He reported tbe matter to the commis-
sion and suit was brought against the
road for falling to permit a commission
expert to look at the books. Later
these suits were dismissed.
Not long since Under hill applied
again to see tne ' books. This was re
fused him on ten separate and distinct
occasions and suits are now pending on
tnese cases.
The commission has absolutely noth
ing to6ay about Underbill's dismissal.
save that bis services are not wanted
It is a well-known fact that he is bit
terly opposed by all .the railroads of
the state. . It has been charged also
that his work as an expert is not at all
satisfactory to the commissioners
They are however reticent about the
matter and while it has been rumored
that there is something behind the
discharge the commissioners insist
there is absolutely nothing.
Aiayneia was for retaining Underbill
ana me otoer two commissioners were
for discharging him. . The commission
ers say that they have good reason
for tbair actions but they positively
reruse to say anything for publication

AUDITOR UNDERHILL FIRED.
Tne Texas Commission Has No Fur
ther Use for His Services.
Assistant Auditor Underhill of the
Texas Railroad commission severed
his connection with the commission to
day being released by Chairman JohD
H. Reagan. The reason given for his
release is that his services are not
needed any longer. In official circles
it is known that Underbill's head was
ordered to fall on August 1 and Chair
man Reagan who was away at the
time instructed Commissioner May-
field to discharge" Mr. Underhill but
he railed to do so. Uhairmaa Kesean

No Reason Why It Should Rob Her of
Masculine Chivalry.
The increase in the number of self-
supporting women especially notice-
able in our large middle class is creat
ing a new problem the economic as
well as moral significance of wr ich is
interesting says Sara Y. Stevenson in
July Llppincott's. If women bacome

iog their moral superiority a sevlav

gle for existence.
On the whole however the close
contact in which men and wom3n are
brought through education and
exertion is beneficial to both. It adds
to woman's strength clearness of judg
ment and business capacity whilst by
increasing niB respect ior woman's un
derstanding it tends to raise man's
moral standards to a level nearer to
her own.
Pessimists have claimed that the
new woman" in exchange for her re'
cently acquired fields must lose the
chivalrous attentions granted her
grandmothers. But so long as men and
women depend upon each other for love
and happiness there need be no fear of
that. Indeed such a fear would imply
that modern man has stood still while
woman nas progressed. such a
thought cannot be entertained.
Man is not likely to refuse the digni
fied well-informed woman who sympa-
thizes with his highest aims and who
strives with him to attain them the
physical protection and the courtesv
which be has so lavishly bestowed uoon

as the woman who "never could know
