ern VIII Commence improvements
In Grading Their Line.

Dallas, Texas. January 2s-Mr. James
Hagcrman. general attorney of the Mia
souri,. Kansas and Texas Railroad COM
pany, arrived in Dallas from st. Louis this
morning and at once began work on tho
evidence and argument the railway com
pany Will use on the hearing for forfeiture
OF the roads charter. which comes up In
tho Dallas district court on February g.
Mr.. Hagerman will remain In Dallas until
the hearing is over. In reply to the ques-
ton whether efforts were being made to
compromise the suit against the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas with the State authors
ties, Mr. Hagerrnan said the case would
go through the regular legal channels and
that the defendant meant to put up the
best fight possible. He expressed the hope
and the opinion that the hearing would
develop that the railroad company had
complied with the laws of the State.
Although Mr.. Hagerman early this even-
irg announced 1t to be his intention TO re-
main continuously In Dallas until the case
should be disposed of in the courts, he
suddenly changed his mind and took an
early night train for Austin In RESPONSE to
a telegram calling him there. He did net
make public the contents OF the tele-
grams. 1t is rumored here tonight that
compromise propositions are being consid-
cred at Austin. The probability OF such y
course was foreshadowcd In these spe-
Gals about ten days ago.

CONsIIrUTIONALITY ESQ
E1-District Attorney Gillnspic Ex
plains His Attitude Concern
ing the Fec Bill.

| Several of the personal friends OF ex-
District Attorney james *. p. Gillaspie
and their number in Houston is legion
were very solicitous yesterday concerning
his personal liberty after reading the pro-
nuciamento in yesterdays Post directed ia
District Attorney Lea from the attorney
generals office, instructing the latter to
proceed at once to prosecute Mr.. Gillaspie
for failing to comply with the fee bill law
passed by the last legislature.
Upon seeing this edict, which was the
| first intimation to Mr.. Gillaspie that he had
violated any law. he wrots to Attorney
General Smith, stating. that from the way
the matter of his failure tc make report
was banded in the newspapers, he was not
much surprised at his Instructions to Dis
trict Attorney Lea TO proceed at once TO
prosecute him. as the newspaper reports
had put him In the attitude of defyins the
law. while such action was very foreign
TO his intention.
In further discussing the matter yester-
day with a reporter for The Post. Mr.. Gill
laspie said that his intention was merely
to test the constitutionality of the law
known as the fee bill in civil proceeding.
He did not believe the law was consti-
tutional and he proposed to resort to the
speediest way OF testing 1t by taking the
case on writ Of mandamus to the SUI
preme court whom the comptroller should
refuse TO allow his account under the old
system.
In this proposed test of the law he was
acting not only for himself. but for several
other county officials both in Harris and
Galveston counties. who were greatly In
torested in the operation Of the law.
When this explanation reaches the at
torney generals office Mr.. Gillaspie does
not apprehend that there viii be any GRIM
inal proceedings

A. to Home.eekcr.. E,cur.,on,.


The st. Louis lines represented in the
Southwestern Passenger bureau held q
meeting at the office OF Chairman Pratt to
consider homeseekers' excursions. The
Central Passenger association recently re-
solved to abolish homeseekers' excursions
on the ground that very few legitimate
homeseekers ever awaited themselves Of the
reduced rates offered. The quarterly meet
ing Of the Southwestern lines will be held
at st. Louis about the middle OF February.
and the whole question will then be taken
up Arrangements have already been made
by the southwestern lines for homeseekers'
excursions In February and March, and the
Central passenger lines will be asked to
suspend the resolution go far as the South
western lines are concerned pending final
action by the latter.

An Automatic Coupler.

10 the Euilor OF Inc Post
Houston, Texas, January 2s,--In today &
paper appears an article on Improved
Freight Equipment" In which It is stated
that after the year 1900 no brakeman need
enter between tho cars to make coupling,
as the couplings now being used and to be
used will do away with the necessity Of go
ing between the cars as they now do with
the ''old link and pin couplings"
Allow me to state that accidents are oc-
curling daily with the NJ. G. B. coupler and
Will continue to occur and that 1t is fact
that brakemen themselves prefer the pin
and link coupler and doubly SO IL my
coupler the ball automatic coupler (which
is link and pin). We're In general use.
The link and pin coupler referred to is
not automatic, while mine is and perfectly
so.
II the Houston and Texas Central or any
other road will try the coupler and adopt
1t. 1t viii giyo satisfaction to all con-
cerned. including thousands OF men who
do the actual work In making a coupling.
Very truly, A. G, Redwood.

RAILWAY EDucArIoNAL SCHOOL

A Plan to Educate Railroad Men I'm
Their Respective Duties.
Mr.. j.. J. Parks, general passenger agent
of the Galveston. Harrisburg and san An
tonic railway, has received an interesting
communication from the Railway Educa-
tional association of New York, which pro-
poses to offer the inducement to railroad
men of correspondence school. Mr.. Geo.
IL. Barker. secretary and treasurer of the
association. says the schools service Is
planned to educate enginemen, machinlsts,
trainmen and trackmcn in the proper per-
Torrance of their practical duties, pointing
ont WRONG and wasteful practices, and In
structing in tho best methods. In add
ton to this instruction Is given In other
studies that will broaden. strengthen and
enlighten the mind, and render the men
better able to intelligently grasp the mean
Ing of rules and Instructions, improving the
probability Of proper action In emergen-
cies. and creating a desire for further
study and self-improyement that must re-
sult in the general betterment of the men,
of their services, and OF their relations 10
their officers and the interests of their
company AS grows the intelligence of EN- :
ploycs, in like measure Will their services
improve, tho agitation of grievances cease
and tho threatenings of labor disturbances
vanish.
The classes of employees for whose IN
structon the school viii be conducted are
those who most largely affect the ex-
penses of railway operating. Education
that will increase the intelligent and CT
fcient performance of their duties viii
cfiect large economies for railway COM
panies.
Tho school has some OF the hest repre-
sentative railroad men in the county to
back it, including Mr.. II. Hawley, promi-
nent in Texas OH account OF his past con-
nection with the Southern Pacific company.

1T WAS A FAIRY STORY
No Man by the Name of jas. Case Has
WItIe 10 Hurris GnuufY I.nlI
3I5 Main Street

| No Man by the Name of jas. Case Has
Title 10 Harris County Land.
The Post printed yesterday what is re-
garded as fairy story, which went on
to say that by the death OF some woman
in an insane asylum, after being there for
sixty years. 1t developed that she was an
heir to a man named James Case, a SOL
der In Sam Houstons army, who owned
bounty headlight that included large
slice of the present site upon which Hous-
ton is located, and that litigation would
likely follow that would completely upset
Houston land titles to the extent of $40, :
600 600.
With the view of getting at the bottom
OF the story, reporter for The Post called
yesterday upon Mr. ]. II. Ruby OF the
Houston Abstract company, and with him
searched the records of Harris county sur
ficiently to show that no grant was ever
made OF Harris county land TO James Case:
In fact no such name as James Case an
pears anywhere upon the Harris county
records, and rosters OF Houston's army as
printed In Texas histories fall to disclose
that there was any soldier by the name of
Case who fought in Sam Houston's regi-
ment.

FOR IMPROVED SERVICES.
The 1. and G. N. Will Improve Its
Grading and Roadbcd.


Mr.. l.. Trice, second vice president and
general superintendent of the International
aud Great Northern, was In the city yes
terday discussing matters of interest re-
garding n general Improvement of the
roadbed and grading of the line. He came
In his private car and after transacting
business In this city left on the Internal
tional and Great Northern fast mail for
his headquarters at Palestine. He said to
a Post reporter that forces are now con-
stantly at work putting the roadbed in
first-class condition and improvements OF
n very decided nature have been made and
will BIO continued until the line is as good
as any In the country. Mr.. Tricc has, how
ever, much more pretentious undertaking
in View, that OF regarding and leveling "a
great many hilly climbs which have here
tofore been u great drawback in the haul
Ing of long freight trains, particularly on
that portion of the line north from Willis
and on to l4ongview. He is now arranging
to secure the necessary mechanical imple-
ments to make cuts through these hills
or high elevations, and the earth taken
therefrom Is to BIO used In building up the
low places or valleys, which, when COM
pleted throughout the entire line, will
make roadbed of comparatively uniform
altitude and one on which not only the
longest OF trains can be hauled. but a very
fast passenger schedule inaugurated IL
necessary. Mr.. Trice says the work will
begin In about month but will require
at least year for its completion.
1t Is thought that this Is move by the
Gould interests for faster service from St.
Louis to the Southwest and In due time
faster schedule for passenger trains than
ever before between Houston and st. Louis
may be reasonably expected The proposed
improvements will In no way interfere with
the running Of the usual trains. as due
provisions VIII be made that traffic will
