Mrs. Rich is Still Without Counsel
to Represent Her Case.

Mrs. Rich still languishes in Jail at
Juarez, and no lawyer either on this or
the other side seems disposed to take
hold of her case.
1t was thought at one time that B. ".
Bowden, of this city, would handle her
case. but he was seen today regarding
the matter and says that he does not
find it practicable.
"My inability to speak the language
is decided handicap said Mr.. Bow
den, land then 1 can't get Mexican
lawyer in Juarez to associate with me,
as they all have as much legal business
as they can possibly attend to-
Judge Dominguez says that if law
yer in Juarez can't be procured he will
ask the governor to send one from Chi
huahua to represent her before the
Mexican courts.
Until this is done she must remain
in Jail and wait patiently for trial.

eight passengers left Milleston ,one
night comidg eastward and

minutes passed before the passengers
began to wonder what was up, but ten

something serious had occurred.
Twenty minut % saw all the passen-

TOUR OF INSPECTION.

Visiting The Entire System.

l.. s. Thorne, first vice-president
and general manager of the Texas q
Pacific, accompanied by Assistant
General Manager J. w. Everman. ar
rived here in a private car on Friday
evening on a tour OF inspection OF the
entire T. s. r. system.
Terminal Superintendent E. B.
Smith accompanied the party around
the shops and showld them everything
of interest MIR. Thorne was
very we'll pleased at the condition of
the road at this end, and in fact found
the entire system in frst-class order.
in which it ought to be considering the
immense amount of money spent on it
in the last year.
In reply to question as to about how
much had been expended Superinten-
dent Smith replied that on the Rio
Grande division over 1920, 900, had been
spent this year on different improve
ments They have been replacing the
quality and also building new steel
bridges.
1t is the aim of the company to have
their road in as fine condition as pos
sible and no expense will be spared to
attain that end
1t is thought that the Pacific Coast
Limited will b, put on about. October
! and run on a much faster schedule
than it was last year. Mrs. Thorne,
who had been at CloudcrOft in company
with Mrs. Q. B. Turner, returned on
Saturday evening to meet her husband.
The entire party left for the east on
Sunday.

LINK AND PIN.
Freight Rates Decreasing.

The decline in the freight rates of
the country has attracted much atten-
ton of late from railroad experts, and
in all the late annual reports specific
reference is made to the decline. The
presidents of the railroads OF the cOun-
try were to have met on September 5
to consider the feasibility of advancing
the freight rates generally. 1t was
found impossible for many of the ex-
ecutives to attend a meeting on that
date and it was postponed. There ts
an effort be ing made, however, to hold
it on September Is.
"The tendency of freight rates to be
gradually lowered, and the advance in
the price of commodities has caused
considerable comment among railroad
experts, :" said q well known railroad
man recently. "Whenever there Is an
advance in rates, there follows an in
slant protest. and at times the courts
and the interstate commerce commits
sion have been asked to intervene on
behalf of some section of the country
against what Is termed the "hogglsh-
ness' of the transportation companies.
On the other hand, when q reduction
is announced, there ts naught but
praise for the road that took the initia-
tive, and where there are number,
every fellow is 'clalmer, natural
born claimer.'
"The downward tendency of freight
rate Is attributable to three causes
competition improvement, in transpor-
tation facilities and improvement in
management; but it would appear the
height of folly to make the statement
that freight can be transported cheap
er by railroad than by inland water
ways. but it Ia absolutely true, and
events will prove the assertion. The
Legislature of New York appointed 9
commission to make recommendations
as to what the state should do with its
canals. A committee was appointed
whose duty 1t was to make recommen-
tions to the commission, and that COM
mittee commended an average bulk
freight rate of 2.21 mills per ton per
mile.
"Abram s. Hewitt was a member of
thai committee, and he blnntly con-
fessed that be had come to the conclu-
sion, much to his surprise, that q rail-
road can haul freight at less cost than
wa canal. No one could have believed
it possible for railroad transportation
to be reduced to 3 mills per ton mile:
yet this figure has been undoubtedly
reached, and there seems good reason
to expect that further economies will
bring the cost down to 2 mills per ton
mile. But, assuming this to be true,
it does not necessarily follow that the
railroad should be made to bear the
brunt of the argument, and, with the
upward tendencies of all commodities,
the railroads should share in the ad-
vantage, for as soon ss the prices go
down again there will be a howl for
lower rates, which pressure may COM
pei the railroads to grant.
''As an illustration, the statement
showing the downward tendency of
freight rates in the past eight years
from 1892 to 1899, as shown by the re-
port of the Chesapeake & Ohio rail-
road, is interesting and instructive.

Some of the eastern roads have
equipped their passenger and sleeping
coaches with electric fans, thereby
adding to the comforts OF their patrons.

"President Thomas, of the Erie, in

the general average freight rate has
decreased OIL mill per ton mile, or
very nearly II per cent. The revenue
per freight train mile the past year
was 81 "a, decrease of 30 per cent,
due entirely to the decreased in rates.
The trainload of freight increased from
30O.04 tons to &c., tons, or 5.47 per
cent. The average cost of carrying
one ton of freight one mile was 3.97

is great showing for the Erie, but do
you want more eloquent argument
for the railroads having the privi-
lege of sharing in the general prosper
ity? When a commercial concern i'm
proves its system so as to make the
cost of carrying on the business less.
