Representative Citizens Will Urge
Upon Him the Advantages of
Jefferson Barracks.
C0RWlN H. sPENcER's VIEWS.
Believes Government Will Event
ually Establish a Great Mill
tary Rendezvous and
Supply Depot Here.

Corwin II. Spencer, who has taken q
prominent part in all movements for the
improvement OF Jefferson Barracks, has not
, given up hope that the Government Will
make the post a great military post and
establish there an army supply depot for
the Central West. Secretary Root Will visit
the post next Monday, and committee will
be appointed to impress him with its ad-
vantages. The Transit Company will ten
der the private car Electra TO the party.
Mr.. Spencer said yesterday. in an inter
view regarding the visit Of the Secretary
and the probable action of the Government
concerning the post: 81 look for something
encouraging from the visit of Secretary
Root to, the post next week It seems to
me that in the past Jefferson Barracks has
not received the attention and proper
recognition from the Government to which
1t Is entitled by reason of its advantageous
position as q base of supplies and its ia
cilties for transportation. 1t is centrally
located and has great advantages for the
movement of troops. either in war or in
peace. 1t has the great waterway of the
Mississippi, and all the large railways OF
the Central and Southern States center IN
the city.
Besides being centrally located. it has
all the advantages of a saubrious climate,

Federal reserve is represented at the post
by LOO acres. giving plenty of room for
army maneuvers. The pest. in area. Is one
Of the largest in the United States. The
has stabling room for the horses of a full
regiment. No point in the country is SO
advantageously located and so well adapted
for a military point and army supply depot

When Secretary Root visits the bar
. racks next Monday we will try to get To,
gether representative members of Ransom
Post, G. A. r., and of the Loyal Legion
These, with many prominent citizens, wil'
form an escort to the Secretary and at the
same time a committee TO represent to him
the natural advantages and facilities of the
post and to urge that it be made a grea;
military point and army supply depot. We
are going to urge that it be made station

RAILROAD news
FROM ALL POINTS.
Santa Fe Officials Have Announced
Withdrawal of Proposed Cut
Freight Rates.
GREAT WESTERN WONT COME IN
Officials Say They Will Cut Rates
if Necessary-Trying to Force
Purchase Scalpers Re
strained-Notes.

REF CBIIC SPECIAL.
Chicago, July 11.-There is to be no rail-
road pool in the West and while the threat
ened rate war for the present is averted,
! rate cutting is possible at any moment
To-day the Santa Fe. Railroad withdrew
its cut-rate schedule. but the Great West
ern did not take part in the conference of
Western railroad presidents and it did not
give guarantee that it would maintain
| rates. Instead, 1t is said to have sent word
essary. In other words, it will simply con-
duct Itself as 1t has in the past. The rare
situation, therefore. Is as before the Santa
, Fe made It's threat.
Railroad men declare that Western rates
will never be stable permanently until the
Chicago Great Western has been absorbed
by some one of the other lines Interested
The management Of the road is even ac-
cused Of seeking to force purchase Of the
property at its own figures That is one
explanation offered OF the course of the
! Great Western officials in the rate Ques-
ton.
The Santa Fe's withdrawal Of its cut-rate
( schedule between Chicago and the river
points was taken after a meeting of the
executive officials of the Kansas City lines,
| Line Committee to-day. According to sew
eral of the officials in attendance, the lines
are to act independently of MIR. Sicknay
and Ignore the Great Western. That it will
be possible to maintain rates without the
Great Westerns signature to the agree
ment. which was reached by the other lines.
seems doubtful.
The Santa Fe's course In withdrawing its
cut rates, despite the position taken by the
Great Western, caused some surprise, and.
1t is presumed. great pressure was brought
to bear. When the new schedule was an
nouEced it was generally understood that
IT would not so into effect until the Great
Western gave sufficient guarantee that
rates would be maintained. 1t was appar-
emily largely to this end that the cut rates
were promulgated. To-day, after the meet
ing, the Santa Fe officials stated that the
attitude of the Great Western was still q
matter Of doubt.
TRUNK LINE MEETING TODAY.
Chicago, July u.-At the meeting Of the
Western Trunk Line Committee tomorrow
It is expected that an agreement to main-
tain rates will be made and a working plan
for the physical division of traffic at COM
petitiye points laid out
The only road In doubt is. the Chicago
Great Western, with Indications that it
will continue to operate on an independent
basis. The road, according to traffic OIL
Gals, is entitled to 2 per cent OF all busi-
ness at full rates. while it asks per cent.
Just now it is getting IS per cent of the
business at rates.

Capt. Clarke Immediately sent a tel
egram TO Providence TO the effect that
Dartmouth used us white. Treat them

The result was that on the following
day. when occurred the dual athletic
meet between the two colleges on Lin
coin field. Dsrtmouth's team received a
reception from Brown men that must
have rescmbled some OF the meetings be-
tween David and Johnathan of old, and
hey left Providence that night as much
delighted as they Were surprised.
How 10 account for such sudden and

it is probably one OF those spontaneous
outbursts OF something. which Just hap
