EFFECT OF THE SHAW BILL.

Chairman Reagan Says It Would Kill the
Railway Commissions Usefulness.
weatherford Texas. February 1S.-The
following letter is self explanatory;
Austin, Texas, February 15.-Mr. ]. r.,
Webster, Wcatherford, Texas.-Dcar Sir:
Your letter of the 18th instant Is before
me in which you make inquiries us to what
would be the effect OF the passage of the
maximum rate bill now before the Legs
lature, The friends of the measure say
its purpose is TO secure the competition of
railroads and the reduction of freight
rates.
II the desire Is to get rates fair, Just
and equal to all persons, places and on all
classes of merchandise, that Is fully pro-
vided for under the law as II now stau1s.
If the purpose is to repudate the rates
mGdc by this commission aud to put the
different cities and towns and the railroads
to bidding against each other for low rates,
this would mean to give the control OF me
wholesale business and manufacturing In
this State to few large cities at the rf-
pense of the smaller places and would IN
evitably lead to rate wars. which We're nj
ways disastrous to the business OF tne
countries where they have occurred
The secret purpose of the promoters OF
this bill Is to break down and destroy the
railroad commission, and the men VINO
have gotten IL up have all the time been
the enemies Of the commission They think
that II they can destroy the commission
that II will give few large places, one OF
which they represent, the control OF sine
commerce and manufacturing interests IN
this State.
send you under another cover q copy
of our last annual report. II you Will read
The first s or 10 pages OF Y you VIII beC
what the present law ana the raliroa !,

ma Parsons, showed that she is a pupil of
the same school as the famous Arthur
Pryor She did the usual triple tongueing
and low note work which marks a master
of the instrument
The double number of Isoraine's Ara
Dlan 1ntermezzo and Tellan's Whisper
ing received the most applause of the
orchestra numbers. Florence E. Beck
so well received that she responded with
The Sweetest Story Ever Told" and
played the encore number twice before
the audience was satisfied. Mabel Bea-
man Mckee responded with an encore
piece to- her violin solo,, e I4isir

voice was heard to excellent advantage
recalled.
One peculiar feature of the Boston La
dies symphony orchestra is the conduc-
tor. Frank W. Mckee. A man with a
plain name who does not look at all like
the usual run of leaders. There IS moth
ing about the pronunciation of his name
to stumble over, no one would look twice
a him if he met him on the street he has
no foreign accent and he does not go

hind him can not that he is doing
anything, for his baton is kept directly in
front of his body and it moves quickly
Mckee doesn't jab the bass drummer to
secure an explosive note nor shake his
list at the trombone in demanding a blast.
But even il Mckee does not adopt the
usual picturesque fashions laid down by
the great leaders, his orchestra followed
him perfectly
The audience was very large and every
one was glad he was there
