mission'! Auditor Left Lut

. xaenee Preliminary W6rk.
(rraaunm Far! Saeeioi.)
AU8TIN Tezaa. June IS. Aa a reault
of a conference held hare today between
Judge T. J. Freeman former receiver of
the International and Great Northern
railway with Qie railroad commlaalon
on the queetlon of the valuation of the
property. W. E. Fltxferald. auditor of
the oommlaalon. wa. detaOed and he left
tonight for Ialeatlne to chock ' op the
account of the property aa a preliminary
tep before the commiaalon take any
action on the application for a valuation.
It will be aeveral day. before a report la
made by the auditor and then the com-
mlaaton will act. Chairman Hayfleld aatd
tonight that that action will be taken aa
Boon aa poaalble.
While Judge Freeman to extremely
anxloua to have "the commiaalon act aa
quickly aa poaalble the oommlaalon did
not promise when It would fix the valua-
tion. Under a former application for a valua-
tion additional amounts were Hated ag-
gregating about 13.000000. and these will
be looked into by Auditor Fitzgerald aa
thla amount la charged a. expenditurea.
With thla amount added and the original
valuation of 1IH makes the total about
15000.004.
To the commission. Judge Freeman pre-
sented a form of charter of the reorgan-
ised company but the contents at the
requeat of the former receiver were not
made public This charter ia to be filed
in the State department.
Before any action is taken . the com-
mission made It plain to Judge Freeman
that all unsecured claims amounting to
about flOOO.OOO would have to be liqui-
dated. The ooamnisalen waa .assured by
Judge Freeman that the claims would
be paid and the reorganization effected
In accordance with section I of the inter-
national olalm bill which prohibits -4 re-
organisation until all unsecured claims
have been paid.
In this connection the commission
through Chairman MaySeld addressed a
communication to Attorney Greenwood of
Palestine advising him of the situation
and also others Interested and urging
upon him to come to Austin early next
week when the matter will be thoroughly
discussed. The charter will be examined
and all details gone over so that the com-
mission will be thoroughly satisfied that
the plan of reorganisation will be suffi-
ciently clear to protect the holders of
unsecured claims.
A decision is expected to be reached In
this 'matter by the commission during the
early part of next week but there la no
Indication that the valuation will be Axed
before or after the reorganisation.
LINE OF EATING HOUSES
Harrey Company Manager Has
Been Over Brownmlle Bo ad
Lookag' Into tie Matter.
Following out tta policy of Improving
and: enlarging tha service In SovOi Taxjis
the Harvey Eating company Is conaidermg
building a line of eating house on the
Brownsville branch of the Frisco road
between Houston and Brownsville.
With this In view F. B. Manger super-
intendent of the eating service haa spent
the past few day. going over the line to
determine whether condition on the line
at present warrant the Improvements. Ha
wa. accompanied on his tour by Mr. Cur-
tis the chief architect of the Harvey
company and It la said they looked at a
number of sites where It Is probable
house will be located In the future.
It was stated yesterday that Mr. Man-
ger had made no decision aa to whether
the houses v. Ill be built Immediately or
not. That the company lntenda to In-
augurate an eating service on the line
wa. not denied ft Is believed by some
that the service will be Instituted In the
near future. Just how many houses will
be built. If any has not been announced.
Thai tbe directors of the Harvey com-
pany look with favor on South Texas is
evidenced by the fact that they have
greatly Improved the service here during
the paat two weeka. The moat marked
Improvement and extanslon was made
last Mondav when a (lining car service
was added to the new Oulf Coast Special.
This Is said to be the finest service in
the South and is one of the features which
ia being used to advertise the train.
FAST PACKAGE FREIGHT
Sucoets of the Seren Week's Trial
on the Gould Lines Means a Con-
tinuation of the Serrioe.
After seven weeks of trial the Gould
lines hare decided to continue the fast
package freight business recently inaugu-
rated through Texas and In the East. J ust
seven weeks ago the venture of sending
less than carload lots by fast rfelght was
started. The coup has been pronounced
a great success the buslnes having rown
rapidly during that short space of time.
The package freight service wsa first
attempted by tlie Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain. Since the plan was started
the lines have maintained a third morning
delivery In Houston out of St Louis and
a fourth morning delivery out of Chicago.
The oars come through with the seals un-
broken and there Is no damage to the
cjontents. The new plan Is practically an
express service at a freight rate. It has
proven a great help to the merchants of
Houston and other Texas points.
Plans are being worked out by the lines
to make the service still better In the fu-
ture. C.-H. Pugh. traveling freight agent
for the Missouri pacific has done a great
deal to push the service and glva the
South tbe benefit of It

IT IS THE UNION STATION
All the Roads States 7. J. Flynn
Understand What the Name
of New Station Is.
On account of the absence of a number
of the directors of the Houston Belt and
Terminal line the regular quarterly meet-
ing which was to-have been" held yester-
day was declared off and win not be
held. All business which was to have
come up will be postponed until the next
meeting three months hence. In case
anything preoalny arises a special meet-
ing will be called In the meantime.
The rumor to the effect that the meet-
ing was to have been held for the pur-
pose of considering a name for the union
station was unfounded it was stated by
General Manager J. H. Flynn of the Belt
and Terminal company yesterday that the
station had always been named. "The
name of this station Is 'the Union Sta-
tion.' " said Mr. Flynn. "and all fhe
roads understand It as such. People who
apply other names are wrong and there
la no use of the company chi
hanging the
name merely to coincide with the opinion
or some or tnese people.

SURPRISING STATISTICS
Shows That 1754400 Bailway Em-
ploye! in 1910 Seceired $2.29
a Day.
"It Is our hope that the citlsens of
Houston will Join the railroad employee
in bringing about a condition that will
encourage capital to Invest in Texas"
said M. J. Murphy organiser for tha
American Railroad Employe and Invest-
ors' association. "We want to create and
maintain a demand for labor so that the
labor can always find regular employment
at fair wages: so that there will be put a
stop to the shutdowns.
"These shutdowns such as occurred in
Houston during the last week in May and
at the present time have mads Idle about
1800 men who will not return to work un-
til July 1. If what we hope can be ac-
complished you will see labor and capital
the two prima factors in the advancement
of civilization flow into Texas In such
abundance that they win unite in build-
ing equipping and operating 14.000 miles
of new railroads In Texas the building of
new cities towns villages and hamlets
the opening up of farms mills and fac-
tories that will add hundreds of millions
to the material wealth of the Stats and
hundreds of thousands to your popula-
tion. Shows Figures On Salaries.
' "Let us see just wbat theraUroada did
for their employes during the year 1110"
he added. "While handicapped by ad-
verse legislation they employed In round
L numbers L76M00 wage earners. They
paid them 1 172. 181.000 or 42 per cent of
their gross earnings. This means 12.29 a
day pay for the average man or tti per
employe annually.
"This Is a remarkable showing when
compared to the wagea paid by the. manu-
facturing . Industrie which amounted to
1640 per man annually. It 1 shown that
the wholesale and retail business aver-
aged to pay their employes $487 each an-
nually. "Yet if the railroads had been permitted
to earn the money their employes in the
shops on the tracks in the bridge and
building departments who number 1100-
000 could have earned $110 more per man
annually than they did. Thla would have
meant that the 2000 shop track and
bridge workers in Houston would have
had $200000 more to spend.
"We want to place the stockholders and
employes In a position where they can
Intelligently place the true side of the
railroad question before the American
people."
Railroads Support $3500000.
Organizers Murphy and Curtis carry
statistics to show that there are approxi-
mately 3(00000 Investor. In railroad
stocks employes of railroads and persons
engaged In the manufacture and sale of
railway supplies In the United States.
They point out to their hearers at the
meetings that while railroad men have
received liberal Increase in the last few
years that their pay envelopes are not
any larger. The railroads have cut down
their hours or their mileage and at the
month they have drawn about the name
money that they did before the Increase.
The object of the organization is to bet-
ter . conditions for the employe the In-
vestor and the public. The whole story
will be told at the auditorium Monday
night at t o'clock. It promises to be the
biggest railroad meeting that has ever
been held not only In Houston and In
Texas but in the whole South.
