AlrrrnNnoN SESSION.

At the afternoon session Captain Hooper
Of the Austin compress submitted state
ment showing that It costs 20 per cent
more now to compress cotton than it did
when tho maximum price of 10 cents per
hundred pounds was fixed, his purpose be-
ing to resist reduction of said maximum
T. " Freeman, representing the Texas
and Pacific. said he took IT that the COM
mission laws prohibited discrimination
against railway corporations as well as IN
dividuals and other corporations me
Texas aud Pacific had 100 miles OF road IN
Texas, with port outlet at New or
leans and tho commission had no right
to put In rates that would deprive 1t oil
the constitutional right TO build mp mat
port. The Texas and Pacific does not plead
poverty, nor the right to earn an cNorb'tant
1Bte OF interest ON its Investment, but SIM
ply asks to be permitted TO manage its
| property In a business like way and im-
| prove its property.

only argument he offered was that the

community. it was an imposition for Far
ley to come before the commission with his
"unmiilgated gall and high sounding
brass and undertake 10 speak for people
| with whom he has nothing IN common, and
! he thought u time for the commission to
refuse to be any longer buncoed by lim.
With regard to compressage. Mr. Free
man opposed Judge Lovett's proposition 10
allow The railroads aud the shipper to
agree upon the point OF compression With
that much latitude the shipper could force
the railroads to haul flat cotton any dis

they We're concerned would try to influence
It's routing in some other direction.
Attorney General Crane following Mr.
Houston. said that IL seemed 10 him that
termine this case without ,ak%lg into con
sideration the question Of rebates. lie was
willing that the railroads should be made
acquainted with the character OF the iu-
formation upon which he based the asser-
ton that rebates bad been given, but he
thought that now that the traffic men had
been heard the books upon which their evil
dence was based should he produced. The
books were open, II is true, TO the commits
sion but he had Information that large
sums OF money had been expended by the
railroads which said books contained no
record of. and in which eases n look AT the
voucher upon which said money had been
handed over had been denied the commis-
sion. Until such vouchers were produced
and until II was ascerta,ncd TO Just what
exten, the revenues OF the railroads are
depleted In this manner. II was manifc~tly
impossible for the commission to determine
a question which hinged upon the actual
nuouut OF said revenue, What he com
planned OF especially was that cotton Is
shipped into Houston on New orleans bills
Of lading and then sold In Houston. the
purpose OF false billing being to evode the
Texas rate.
Judge Perkins wanted to know how.
whom tho shipper demands a New Orleans
bill Of iading, the railroad can avoid giving
II to him. as the law compels 1t 10 issue
same. and the commission took q recess
until u. IN.
