RAILROADS STIRRED UP.
Commissions Attempt to Settle Shreve
port Situation The Cause.
THE REMEDY WORSE THAN THE DISEASE
Innocent Texas Lines the Sufferers
and Interstate Roads Not Affected.
Heavy Fruit Business.

Railroad men were somewhat astonished
upon reading the order of the railroad COM
mission regarding the Texarkana, or more
properly speaking. the Shreveport situa-
tion. They claim that the Action of the
commission in no manner relieves the
trouble. If anything. they say, it fur
nishes opportunity for the roads to get
into rate war.
Just at present the railways are anxious
to conserve revenues. They assert that
they have put stop to rate cutting and
ordered the restoration of tariffs only Ia
find that by the commission order the
Texas reads are to have their revenue
business moving in Texas.
Some of the roads yesterday referred
the matter to their legal departments,
snd If no relief is given, from what The
Post reporter can learn. the commission $
action may be taken into the courts. The
roads say they have been avoiding litiga-
tion with the State commission, although
in their suits against the interstate com
mission they have come out generally
victorious.
An official. 10 speaking to The Post re-
porter yesterday, said he thought 1t was
only a question OF time until the rail-
roads, as he expressed II, sought the
last bulwark of republican institutions
the courts" Cost of transportation OF
| freight and passengers had been steadily
reduced by the railroads so far as the
public is concerned. although service and
equipment had been increased and i'm
proved.
The roads, he said, thought they were
being unjustly treated by the commission.
The strictly Texas roads are in no way
responsible for the Shreyeport-Texa
kama situation. The Shreveport rate Is
on a water basis and the Texas roads
are unable to change it. Interstate lines
will not suffer under the rs per cent re-
dpction. Their rates from St. Louis to
Texarkana remain the same and they can
at TeTarkana AMI let the Texans suffer
| the loss.
But suppose the Texas and Pacific and
other lines interested in protecting
Shreveport should reduce their rates to
Shreveport 25 per cent. How would that
leave matters? Would 1t not justify the
gulf lines in reducing rates from New
York and the East to Houston and Gal
weston rs per cent also? The consensus OF
opinion among traffic men is that such
condition is likely. and that the rate
situation today Is just about where II
put on last month.
Indications point to merry times in
freight circles the coming season.

MR. HEAFFoRp RESIGNS.
General Passenger Agent of the ST
Paul to Quit Railroading.

General Passenger Agent of the ST.
Paul to Quit Railroading.
Chicago Times Herald.
Local railway officials were surprised
yesterday morning by the announcement
that George Henry Heafford would step
down from the general passenger agency
of the Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad October 10 next. Second only to
that of the resignation as a source OF
surprise was the announcement that Mr..
Heafford would give up the railroad bust
ness on that date. He has decided to
take up insurance, becoming a partner of
his SON. law. Mr.. Lyman, In this city.
For a long time Mr., Heafford has con-
templated giving up his railroad work.
He has numerous private interests that
require his personal attention, and with
the responsibilities OF his present office
on his shoulders he has not been in a
position to devote a proper degree OF at
tention to them. He is Interested In sew
enal zinc mining industries in Arkansas.
Mr. Heafford entered the railway SER
vice when he was 20 years of age. his
first work being done with the North
wevzerr In 1872 he left the Northwest
ern to become assistant general passen-
ger agent of the Missouri Pacific. Soon
afterward he was promoted to the general
passenger agency of that road. He re-
manned with the Missouri Pacific until
1879, and in 1882 he became assistant gen
eral @ssenger agent of the st. Paul
Since December l, 1890, he has been the
st. Paul's general passenger agent.
II was the general impression among
passenger men yesterday that George
Marsh. first assistant general passenger
agent of the st. Paul. would be Mr.. Heat
fords successor.

COLORADO AND SOUTHERN.
VIII Not Renew Traffic Agreement
with santa Fe.


1t comes from Denver that the Joint
traffic agreement between the Santa Fe
and the Colorado and Southern will not
be renewed when il expires on August l.
The reason is said to be that under th-
deal for joint ownership OF the Colorado
Midland by the Colorado and Southern
and the Rio Grande Western. that road
and the Southern viii constitute an east
ern connection for the Southern Pacific
as competitive line of the Santa Fe.
Trains will go out of Denver on tho
Southern and west from Colorado Springs
on the Midland. BY building the South
Platte CUTOFF and shortening the dis
lance TO Salt Lake, the Southern would
parallel the Midland. This would prevent
a consolidation under the laws OF Colo
RADIO. so the short line Is to remain I'M
finished until the amalgamation of the
two roads is complete.
