ST. LOUIS.TEXAS RATES.
Hearing Before the Interstate Conn
merce Commission at Austin
Concluded Yesterday,


Austin, Tex. April 1.-THE interstate
commission to-day continued the case of
the st. Louis Business Mems League,
wherein they are asking Tor a reduction in
less than carload rates from St. Louis TO
read representatives were placed on TIE
stand. and the trend of their testimony was
that an enforcement of seSS than carload
rates on freight from ST. Louis defined
territory to Texas common points would
not only entail Il direct loss TO the roads on
in operating expenses, as il would require
an additional expenditure of % to 80 per
cent TO handle il in this form, with no in
crease in revenue. 1t was further stated
the interest of the roads and the JobberS OF
Texas: that the present rate on car lots
had been secured after long discussion of
the problem. and that it had been amicably
settled to the satisfaction of the interstate
commission, the Texas railway COMMISSION
change would create not only confusion.
but would be materially unjust to every
one save the St. Louis jObbers, who would
profit by the discomfort and pecuniary loss
of every body else.
After q full hearing had been had. the
Texas commission announced that, while
they were opposed TO any change in the
present rates, believing them to be Just
and amicabie. they would recognize the au-
thority of the interstate commission in
serve notice that they would change Texas
rates in conformity with the rates estab-
liShed by the interstate commission SO as
TO protect the Texas jobber against the
interstate shipper.
The commission will meet in Fort Worth
Monday TO hear complaints of cattlemen
against the Chicago stock yards for eX-
cessive switching 4charges.

DIRT is FAST DISAPPEARING.
END OF THE FIRST WEEK OF THE
SPRING CLEANING.
Over Four thousand Loads of Rub
bish Hauled to the Dump-In
Three More Days the Work
VIII BE Completed.

The first week of Kansas City's spring
cleaning came to a close last night with
results extremely satisfactory to those IN
charge and to the citizens as well. OF
course not all the dirt and rubbish which
WIS piled up mountain high in the alleys
has been disposed of. but big hole has
been made in it and with three or four
more days work with the present force
OF men and teams the promise to make the
cleaning a thorough one will be fully re-
de, med. The record for the week is over
three thousands loads hauled to the dumps
by the city cleaning force and a thousand
work is beginning to show up In all sec
tions of the city and words of praise for
the inauguration and carrying out of the
cleaning by Mayor Jones and Superintend-
ent Davis are to be heard on all sides.
Superintendent Davis said last night:
THE men and teams have accomplished
wonders. We have done all that was pos
sihle to do in one week and although We
have not got rid of all the dirt we have
things In such shape that three more days
at Ii will practically clean up the entire
city. If we can keep the extra force three
days longer then the regular force will he
able to finish uD the work in good shape
by next Saturday night"
The fire department did effective service
in the cleaning up, though it was able 10
help only OH three days of the week. on
account of numerous fires. In the three
days which were devoted to the work $40
cs tchbasins and sewers were thoroughly
flushed and cleansed. according to the re-
port submitted by Chief Hale to Mayor

This now 100000 gallon pump, which is

with that pump ii is n remarkable fact
that from the first time steam was turned
on IL never had to be shut down to drive

Lonswell Is hoping that Kansas City's new
pump will start OFF in the same satisfactory
manner.
Kansas City has now a nominal daily
pumping capacity of 2l,01,01D gallons. and
last August, while the sprinkling was at
its height the pumps were run 10 IS, 100 600
gallons, which was all ii was found possi-
BILE to supply. With the new pump in COM
mission the nominal capacity of the pumps
will he 2l.0)0,oOO gallons daily, and the city
is not likely to be called upon to put addi-
tional pumps in commission until the con-
sumption has increased 80 per cent over
what it is at present.
