EXEMPLIFIED.

CORRECTNESS OF THE TRIBUNFs STATEMENTS
EXEMPLIFIED.
Justice O'Brien has not yet given his decision In
the application that argued before him IN the
Supreme Court, Chambers, Wednesday, made by
Charles S. Holmes, of the firm Of j. II. Labaree d. Co,
of No. 125 Front-st., TO have made permanent the
injunction restraining William D. Davenport and others
from disposng Of the insurance money resulting from
the death OF Arthur c. Gilman. Mr.. Holmes SAID
Yesterday that there was nothing new in the case
The amount OF Gilman's defalcaton already given
out TO the public, 1922 o34 3d. is correct. AS soon
as he succeeds in obtaining the temporary injunction
restraining the administrator Of Gilman's estate MS
widow and others, from dsposing of the insurance
money Mr.. Holmes will sue TO recover the amount,
which is $4,000 lie believes he can prove that the
premiums on the insurance policies were paid Win
money stolen from the firm.
Gilman had a tenth interest in the business, ana
was prOsperng His defalcatons are great surprise
to his partners who always had full faith In hln'
None of the members OF the firm care to 60 into
details at present about the way the defacaions were
carried on although ii is known that they were made
by Systematically falsifying the accounts, by making
false entries and by forgery The period Of the del
alcations extends over a number " years. MT.
Labaree saws that he will disclose Gilmans methods
fully when the case comes to trial. but he does not

ton and Texas Central railway. Mr.. Rip
ley has notified me that he proposed to
make this demand, and 1 wired him to-day
that as soon as the commission had set a
date for hearing (Which we would sug
gest if he should make such demand, should
not be prior to the 18th inst.,) we would
Immediately, upon being notified by the
commission of the date fixed, receive all
lumber offered US by his line in order to
relieve the situation, provided he would
agree on all shipments received by US prior
to the rendering of the commissions decis-
ion to readjust the revenue between our
respective companies in accordance with
the basis rendered by the commission. This
will insure US protection in our revenue in
accordance with the commissions decision,
whereas were we to receive the lumber
from this line on the basis of divisions
which he now demands without some saving
proviso, it would be impossible for US to
recover the amounts paid his company on
any such shipments which we might
receive.
We have endeavored in this matter to
pursue course which would meet with
the commissions approval, and l trust not
unsuccessfully so.
The Houston and Texas Central and
Southern Pacific railways, for the protec-
ton of Southern Paciric lumber Industries,
have demanded reduced rates to North
west Texas against q competition against
Texas and Pacific mills. The commission.
has favored them very largely in the ADJUST
ment of lumber rates, and they now de-
mand that we shall not only stand the entire
shrinkage in the reduction of the rate, but
should also stand the additional shrinkage
in the increased division which they de-
mand in delivering US the business at Fort
Worth. Yours truly,
W. V. NEwLIN.

From November up to November p, re-
ceived no direct communication from your
body. Newspaper reports of one date ad-
vised that President Dillingham; and Gen.

and Texas Central railway had appeared
before you and presented their argument
why their company should be sustained in
the position taken by them, and on the soi-
lowing date the newspapers stated that you
had, or would. promulgate your decision in
favor of the Houston and Texas Central
railway paid no attention 20 these re-
ports as considered it impossible that you
would wilfully violate your written obliga-
ton to me that date should be set and
each road be given hearing il they so de-

resentation. We have made no demand for
your Intervention, and under the authority

rates. We have notified the Houston and
Texas Central hallway we would not accept
lumber from them allowing them divisions
III excess of these which they
received before the commissions rates
were established, and in justice to our COM
pany, sincerely trust the commission will
sustain US in this position. AS an evidence
of the business of our position, the Texas
ana Pacific railway accept as an arbitrary
to Fort Worth on all lumber from their
stations ten cents per 100 pounds to Chill
dress and south, which is same revenue
they received previous to reduction in
rates, and to points north of Childress eight
cents per 100 pounds, which is two cents
less than they received under rates in effect
previous to commissions tariffs. respect
fully refer the commission TO my letter of
September 81, showing the reduction which
even this basis makes in all our revenue,
and under the Houston and Texas Central's
demand the reduction would be much

Commission Of Texas, Austin, Tex:
DEAR SIR beg to acknowledge receipt
of your favor of November in regard to
asking the intervention of your honorable
in fixing basis Of division between the
Houston and Texas Central railway and
this company on lumber coming from the
Southern Pacific railway to points ON our
line, now in dispute between General
Freight Agent Ripley of the Houston and

sented by myself.
AS VIC consider the Houston and Texas
Central railway the segressor in this mat
ter, In their refusal to accept proposition
which we believed was more than fair and
just to their company, and as it has been
our desire not to burden the commission
with internal dissension between the rail-
roads, would much prefer that this
demand for Intervention on tho part Of the
commission should coma through the Hous-
