the committee in this bill. They have
heard from all over this land that one OF
the chief and greatest causes OF com

ton Of rates, rates which were up to day
and down tomorrow, up for the retailer
and down for the wholesaler, and fiuotu-
Htsng up or down asshe caprice Of the
railroads or the emergencies Of the com
Petitiye strife should require. Look al
the report OF the committee, look At the
testimony before the committee, and
you will find that one OF the main oh
jects of this bill is 10 make rates stable
and permanent when they have been
found to be reasonable. j challenge

what Is PoollnsP

The following extracts from a speech
delivered in the United States Senate
by Hon o. II. Piatt, Of Connecticut, in
uttered these words ten years ago. In
deed, this speech, in the light of present
events, reads more like prophecy than
warning. Exactly what Senator Plstt
said would happen has come TO pass:
"A pooling contract is based-that Is
TO say, the percentage OF freights or the
portion OF freights which each company
agrees to be satisfied with-is based
upon the results OF traffic for several
years under free competition; and il is
strange thing that, however fierce the
competition, the amount OF competitive
traffic which q road secures is prac-
tically the same. This apportlonment
of traffic, then, is based upon what re-
turns for some years under open com
petition-when competition has been
fierce and when il has not been tierce-
have been secured by each competing
road.
"The fact 10 which ! have alluded
shows that there is for every competing
railroad its natural, normal share OF the
competitive business, business which
will come to it whatever the competition
may be. A competing railroad company
may be justified in saying that such
share Of the competitive business be
longs to it SO long pc It maintains only
reasonable rates II doing it. 1t is up m
that theory that the app1rtionment is
made. III it constitutes an agreement
for the prevention of competition, for
non-competition, it is this, that the rail
road company viii not fight for more
than its natural share of the business.
Its object is, as / have shown by the
quotation from Judge Cooley, to remove
the inducement which exists for rail
roads to enter into ruinous competition
or into unnatural strife for business
which does not belong to them.

NO GENERAL REDUCTION.
State Tax Boards Attitude Towards
Corporation Assessments.

The State Tax Board held brief session
yesterday morning and as no one was pres
ent asking for hearing. its session was
executive. The talk was purely informal,
but it was readily to be gathered from 1t
that the boards policy is against any gen
eral reduction Of corporation assessments.
Three appeals from the County Board of
Review were filed The first is by Merrill
Moores, deputy attorney general, who in
his capacity of taxpayer appealed from the
assessment of the Indiana Manufacturing
Company, which, in obedience to the IN
junction of the Federal Court, the county
board cut down from $4,000 TO $6.534 The
injunction did not cover the State Board
and if it raises the assessment the com pany
will be at the pains to obtain another in
junction. s. NJ. Shepard and F. j. Van Vor-
his, also taxpayers, appealed from the as
sesSment of 81 900 fixed by the county
board upon the property of the Citizens
Street-railroad Company and the Indian
apolis Gas COmpany'S assessment OF Sl0oO,-
00O These appeals will be taken up and
heard after the railroad hearings and there
will be some rather interesting times be-
fore the board.
A partial schedule OF railroad hearings
was arranged by Secretary Hart yesterday
as follows Thursday, July 10, the Lake
Shore 4 Michigan Southern, represented by

Fats" VS.. THE LEANS"
An Umpire-BaitinB at Bali Park Next
Saturday Afternoon.

The Fats and the Leans" selected
with discriminating care from among the
commercial travelling men of the city will
profane the sacred precincts of the East
Ohio-street ball grounds next Saturday
afternoon by playing an imitation of the
variety of ball which Manager Watkins
usually doles out to his patrons. For what
the drummers lack in skill and knowledge
of the game they will offer ample diversion
in the way of tragedies and other pleasant
little things which must surely amuse the
eXpectant multitude. There will be an
umpire" batting similar to fad prac-
uced in the Fiji islands, where the populace
selects a victim and claws him to death.
Every one who pays the admission fee of
20 cents will have a 'go" at the umpire
after the game is over or at any convenient
stage when occasion for q rank decision ar
rtVes. This is all according to the official
programme, for do not the handbillS say:
1T Will make your hair turn gray to see
the game exemplifed in all its pristine
splendor." There are some things on the
handful about as veraclous as the old-time
Barnum circus poster, particularly the as
Sertlon that the teams are respectively
composed of a representative class of mis-
SiOnarieS or diSSemnatorS of the truth COM
monty known as commercial tourists" One
of the drummers tacitiy admitted that the
phrase "diSSeminatorS of the truth was
type graphical error.
Inc L ats luulNlQQduy weigh Two nun
dred pounds, while the Leans" are so at
tenuated that an X-ray photograph would
only show as many StreakS across the
camera plate. AS the game is to be for the
benefit of the Newsboys' Home, the bleach
er seats have been reserved free tor the
newsboys' USE and their treble voices will
be in at the bargain-counter slaughter. For
every position there are to be two players,
so at no time will the game be delayed by
fatalities, providing the fatalities are
within reasonable bounds. Jere Taylor Will

two teams are as follows:

CLEVELAND BLOCK FIRE.
Damaged to Extent of 5OO-OriS-
mated in an Oil Room.

Fire caused damage of $500 to the
Cleaveland block, corner OF Capitol and
kentucky avenues, yesterday afternoon. 1t
started on the second floor in an old ele-
vator shaft, which was used by the jani-
tor as a room for storing coal oil. 1t is be-
lieved that some of the inhabitants of the
building set fire to the place, either will
fully or accidentally, by lighting lamp in
the oil room. The fire had good start and
a good opportunity to spread before the de-
partment was called. A man living in a
room near the oil room tried to extinguish
the flames with water before sounding the
alarm. When the department arrived the
flames were leaping TAR above the roof out
through the old elevator shaft, and 1T
looked like conflagration. By quick work
however, the fire was soon under control
and extnguished. The building is four
stories high and is occupied chiefly by
cited while the fire was in progress. The
damage is chiefly to the middle of the
building. Carpets of the roomers are ruined
on the second and third floors, north wing
and the paper on most of the walls is dam
aged.
The building is the property of the Con-
necticut Mutual Life Insurance Company,
and is insured in the sum of $4,000. John
S. Spann & Co. have the rental of the
years ago by the CleavelandS, who are now
engaged in the manufacture of wire fence
in this city. 1t went into the possession of
the insurance company by foreclosure in
1874 1t was formerly occupied by the gen.
eral offices of the l., B. & w. Railroad.

TALBERT'S SUDDEN INSANITY.
Police View 1t with SuspiciOn-He At
tacks u Cell Mate.

Edgar Talbert young man twenty-three
years old, in the county Jail awaiting trial
on a charge of horsestealing. had violent
attack Of insanity yesterday evening. He
terrorized his cellmate and attempted to
kill him with an iron cuspidor. He was
arrested June 13 for stealing a horse which
was afterward found where he hitched it
on West New York street. The police
learned of his identity through a woman
who also informed them that he and his
wife intended leaving the city that night
on a boat which Talbert intended to steal
and launch in White river.
On the night Of Talbert's arrest his wife
went to the jail and asked to be locked
up. She said she would commit crime
herself and get locked up if she was not
allowed to stay with her husband. Since
then she has called at the Jail TO see him
every day, and has seemed very devoted to
him. The police say she is the same wom-
an who was so devoted to Whit Starr dur
ing his last confinement in the jail. About
the time the Womans devotion reached a
climax Starr sawed out OF the jail and
escaped. He has never been captured, and
the police think the woman furnished him
with the saws. 1t is therefore with some
suspicion that the information of Talbert's
insanity is received. He will be examined
to-day by physicians.
