AUDITOR UNDERHILL FIRED.
The Texas Commission Has No Fur
Their Use for His Services.

Assistant Auditor Underhill of the
Texas Railroad commission, severed
his connection with the commission to-
day. being released by Chairman John
b. Reagan. The reason given for his
release Is that his services are not
needed any longer. In official circles
it is known that Underbill's head was
ordered TO fall on August l. and Chair
man Reagan, who was away at the
time, instructed Commissioner Nav
field to discharge Mr.. Underhill, but
he failed to do so. Chairman Reagan
then came back to Austin, before going
to Denver, where he is now, and gave
Underhil orders to leave today.
While the commissioners absolutely
refuse to talk, and have been so all
along, it has been understood for some
time past that Mr.. Underhill would
have to go. His work ha- not att
getber proven satisfactory to the COM

missioners, according to the statement
heard, and they have decided to dis
pense with his services.
1t is we'll known fact that Mr.. I'm
derhill has not been on good terms
with the Southern Pacific system for
some months-in fact, since be severed
his connection with that road, several
years ago. There is great deal to be
| told about this severance between I'm
derhill and the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn. Little has been told as yet.
1t is charged that while in the en-
ployment of the road Underhill came
into possession of certain important
secrets of the road. which he later re-
vealed to the United States interstate
and the Texas commissions relative 20
rebates furnished by the road.
It is also learned that this informs.
tion, after it had been secured, was not
of much value without additional mat
ter, which he did not secure. Entering
the Texas Railroad Commission SER
vice, he attempted, as its represent ia
tive, upon frequent occasions, to get
entrance to the railroad company's
books Upon the first occasion he went
there while off on vacation, and not
in the employment of the commission.
He was refused sight of the books
He reported the matter to the commits
road for falling to permit a commission
expert to look at the books. Later
these suits were dismissed.
Not long since Underhill applied
again to see the books. This was re-
fused him on ten separate and distinct
occssions, and suits are now pending on
these cases. 5'3-
The commission has absolutely moth
ing to say about Underhill's dismissal,
save that his services are not wanted.
It is well-known fact that he is bit
terly opposed by all the railroads of
the state. It has been charged also
that his work as an expert is not at all
satisfactory to the commissioners
They are, however, reticent about the
and while it has been rumored
that there is something behind the
the commissioners insist
there is absolutely nothing.
May field was for retaining Underhill
and the other two commissioners were
for dischsrging him. The commission
ers say that they have coed reason
for THAR actions, but they positively
refuse to say anything for publication

Eds. Record Union" Gentlemen: /
wish to compliment General ]. G. Mar
tine. through the columns of your val
liable paper, upon his most excellent ar
ticle in yesterdays "Record-U Union en-
titled "How to Help This City," Were
there ever truer words than that j
street is cursed with lot of rich
money bags" and as General MARITIME
well says, they bemoan their fate, in
not having their property rented, when
they are doing the very thing to keep
it idle by not improving it. Why has
K street all the fine buildings and most
of the business of this town? Simply
because few enterprising men started
a boom in the way of building few fine
stores and started the rest, and it is so
everywhere Where enterprise starts,
enterprise follows, and let those rich
money bags on street emulate Mr..
Heilbron's example and put up some
fine stores and within a year the bust
ness will come back to j street.
