began fumbling about in Toms clothes.
He was not long finding the money
which Tom carried in an inside pocket
Of his vest and was rising to his feet

yards away and man came out Of the

wrapped around the railroad ticket to

carefully secreted his treasures about

Government Denies That it Sane
lions Rate-Making COmbin ations.

A New York dispatch says: Speak
ing in reference to a. report in Wall
street that the Me xican government
had made some concessions to the rail-
ways of that country in the matter of
combinations for rate-making pur-
poses, the secretary of the Mexican
National Railway company said:

eminent has changed it's attitude to-

THE NEW LAW.
Railway Managers Will Not Make
the Measure Obnoxious,

The Houston representatives of the
railways who attended the meeting at
Dallas Wednesday state that for time
there was considerable difference of
opinion as to what should be done after
the Goth instant, when the new anti-re-
bate law goes into effect.
Lawyers were as divergent in theie
views as were their lay brethren of thr
road, who looked to the attorneys for
advice. Some were very rigid In their
construction while others were rather
liberal.
The general conclusion arrived
at wss that the entire intent
of the law was solely to
prevent discrimination, but before
reaching this opinion there were many
constructions placed upon the dis
elimination contemplated. Some went
80 far as to hold that no passes what
ever could be issued, because it might
be claimed that should railroad issue
q pass to one person it could be held
that this would be discrimination
against another passenger.
1t was finally agreed, however, that
as so many exemptions were made in
another section of the law such rul-
ing would be extra judicial and more
severe than was the real intent of the
la W when it was passed.
AS it now stands it is believed the
law will work but little hardship, if
any, on either the railway companies
or the public, and the intention of the
railway managers is to use all efforts
to maintain the statute rs its intent is
understood and to be as generous and
lenient as possible.

passes inclose blank to the holder OF

conscientiously say, over his signature
that his holding of such q pass in no
way can be construed as a violation of
the law; that he is not 8 shipper and

PRESIDENT HA6ERMAN
OF the D. v. & N. e. Passes Through
This City.-Disapproves Of the
Anti-pdSS Law.

J. J. Hagerman, president OF the
Pecos Valley, r r. left yesterday In
his private car for Chihuahua. Mr..
Hagerman in conversation with HER
AID reporter said that while his trip
was not merely q pleasure one,
he was not at liberty to
discuss the direct reason of
his trip, but from q reliable source in
formation has been obtained that con-
meets his visit with the business of the
chihuahua & Pacific railroad in which
Mr.. Hagerman is supposed to be heavi-
ly interested. President Hagerman in
speaking of his own road says that
everything is in q first class and pros
porous condition.
The amount of cattle being shipped
daily is about five cars and, the outlook
for the future of the Pecos Valley ia
very encouraging.
In reply to question as to what he
thought of the ant!-rebate law he said.
AThe law is q very good one for the
railroads and q very poor one for the
state of Texas. Although I am q rail-
road man L do not approve of the law.
! think it a very foolish one and enact
ed By. the sore heads in the legislature
which is composed principally of cat
tlemen. The whole trouble arose over
the distinction made in issuing passes
to large shippers and ignoring the
smaller ones. Now the whole state of
Texas must suffer for the petty jeal-
ousies of few small cattle shippers.
All the passes are being recalled be-
cause the law defines the issuing OF
pass to q shipper as equivalent to a re-
bate In freight rates. The only pass
know of at present that would be called
legal would be one issued to a tramp"

Question OF Pass Liability.

All Or nearly all railroad passes bear
an agreement that the person accepts
ing one assumes all risk from accident
and will not hold the company liable
In q suit against the Northern Pacific
by the heirs of q man who was killed
while riding on such a pass, Judge
Hanford, at Spokane, has decided that
the contract is not binding upon the
survivors and the company not reliev.
part with their right to maintain an &C
ton and recover damages for the loss
and injury they sustain by the death OF
their relatives. This ruling has been
made heretofore In several states, but
the railroads continue to print the con-
tract on their passes. Forth Worth

CONTEMPLATED CHANGES.
In Crew Runs On The Santa Fe.

G. Ayers assistant division superin-
tendent of the Santa Fe from Alou-
querque south, is in town for few
days on business. Mr.. Ayers says that
there is movementon foot to change
the runs of the crews between here and
Albuquerque. The Idea is to have the
crews run from Albuquerque to Rim
con and from there to Silver City.
That will mean that the crews which
leave here will go to RincOn and catch
the south bound train back. Mr.. Ayers
say that the change will give Silver
City q better service.
The matter is not settled as yet.
Thu papers are now in the hands of
General Manager Frey at Topeka and
it will be about shree weeks before
they will be acted upon. The SAINT ia
Fe will put on limited flyer on the
California division very shortly to &C.

UNIFORM SWITCHING RATES
Will Probably Soon Be Adopted


Says an Austin dispatch:
The railroad commission today re-
ceived the following letter from Cen
eral Freight Agent Sargent of the
Texas & Pacific:
This company desires your approval
for the assessing of uniform switch
ing charge of 81 per car for service
performed by US for private indi-
vidusls as we'll as connecting lines,
switching to and from the various side
tracks to which we have been in the
to apply at all stations on this COM
pany's line in Texas, with the excep-
ton of Ell Paso, and request the prf-
vilege of paying connecting line
switching charges on business receiv-
ed by US from competitive points, both
In and out of the State of Texas, for
deliveries to tracks located on the line
of our various connections in the state
without affecting business from other
points.
The commission also received sim-
liar application from the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway.
Chief Clerk u. s. Pawkett of the In
ternational q Great Northern. Assis-
tant General Freight Agent j. L. West
of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas, and
G. 8. Maxwell, chief clerk in the Tex
as q Pac1ho general freight Omces,
were here this morning and appeared
before the commission in support of
the two foregoing applications to
to make uniform switching charges 50
per car.
Judge Storey, the only commissioner
here, has granted both applications
temporarily until the commission as q
whole can Investigate the matter.
1t was explained to Judge Storey
that 1t has been the practice in some
instances to charge an individual more
for switching than road charges
connecting line, and as this might pos
sibly be in violation of the anti-rebate
bill that became effective today the
roads uanted to be on the safe side and
treat all alike, and in order to avoid
com plications Judge Storey was urged
to grant the applications at least tenn
porarily, which he did.
From all appearances it now looks
as though there will be general sp-
plication to adopt uniform switching
charges for the entire state.
