paper, who Is also correspondent for

mor, so that it might be investigated
there and its truth or falsity estab-
lished. In reply to the dispatch, the
following is received:

MAIL ON INTER! KIIAN.
<'ontract Is Held l’|» IViuling; Deni-
son Switch Decision.
tlenison, Texas, June It.—Ac-
cording to the statement of Presi-
dent Strickland of the Texas Trac-
tion Company the closing of the con-
tract between the company and the
United States government for carry-
ing the mails on the Interurban be-
tween Dallas and Denison is being
held up pending the action of the
Austin avenue switch matter.
Mr. Strickland stated to the com-
mission here that he had intended to
meet Superintendent Gaines of the
eleventh division of the railway mall
service,' this week to close the con-
tract, but that owing to the fact that
the commission had not acted last
week on the request for the switch,
he had postponed the meeting. He
hoped, however, to close the con-
tract within a few days.
However, he declared that the
closing of the contract depends upon
whether or not the commission
grants the right to build the switch.
The mail contract can not he han-
dled without express ears, he said,
and express cars can not be operated
unless the switch is put in. Mr.
Strickland used this as one of the
arguments in favor of the grant
which the Traction company is ask-
ing.

and reports are to the effect that it
did not extend north beyond the city
limits. Judge Goodner reports yes-
terday’s rainfall, three-quarters of an
inch.
