ton OF that official 10 prior rights on a
proposed new line. to be known as the Ok
lahoma Western. running from Hartshorn
TO Colgate. in Indian Territory. President
Gowen was assisted in the argument by
Judge Stewart. the attorney of the road.
and Chief Engineer Baird.
The question at Issue is the legality Of
the action of the Secretary Of the Interior
In granting to the Denison Railway Of
Texas a right-of-way for a road between
the two points named. under the provisions
Of a general law. passed by Congress sew
erai years ago. The Secretary approved the
charter OF the Texas company i'm November

II is claimed by President Gowen that the

Oklahoma Western; that the Texas survey
ors went along the route Of the Oklahoma
Western and took notes of the marks made
and utilized them In It's map. without actu-
ally making a survey. az required by law.
The Oklahoma Western calls attention TO

ASKS FRANCHISE TO
LAY WATER CONDUIT
The County Improvement Company
Files Petition-Touches Mis-
souri, and Meramec Rivers.

The st. Louis County Improvement Com
pany, composed of ex-State Senator Charles
Z. Peers OF WarrentOn, his son, L. 7.
Peers. and II. W. Femmer filed yesterday
in the County Court at Clayton a petition
for a franchise to lay conduits for the dis
tribution Of water, electric lighting and gas
for the supply Of the people of St. Louis
County.
The proposed route of the company starts
at a point west of the Missouri River that
will be convenient for a water channel
through the bluffs to the river. From this
point 1t Is to run sOutheasterIy over a pri-
waite right-of-way, crossing streets and
highways, until the Olive Street road is
reached. This t~horoughfare will then be
used for the route to St. Louis. Another
section of the route Is TO begin at the in
tersection OF the Manchester road with the
city limits, running west on the Manchester
road TO a point north or south OF the town
of Kirkwood, and thence to the Meramec
Springs. and along the Gravois road to the
Meramec River. The route then doubles
back along the Gravois road to the city
limits. with the right to use any highway
between the Olive Street road and the
Manchester and Gravois roads. so as to
cover all the territory between the city of
ST. Louis and the Missouri River.
The ompan offers to pay 5000 for the
franchise, to erect a public fountain, to fur
Bish nght and water TO the public schools
along its lines and to pay 2 per cent Of
its annual gross earnings. Work is to be
begun within three years. The prices for
light and gas are not to be higher than the
lowest rate made by any reliable company
In St Louis.
The Peoples Advertising Company also
filed a petition in the County Court yester-
day for q franchise. The company wants
the right TO erect sign boards at the cor
ner OF each and every cross-road in ST.
Louis County for advertising purposes. and
offers to erect on top OF its board another
for the name of the road. The com
pany also offers the county l per cent of its
gross earnings az compensation. The fran
chise Is TO run for fifty years. The names
attached to the petition are Charles Hoss,
c. G. Lappler and W. p. Thompson.

New York, Jan. 5-Traffic managers Of

pointed some time ago to consider this mat
ter. reported. and its report was accepted.
1t is practically the same as the one pre-
viously submitted. which proposes a reduc-
ton. which will make the rates from Pitts
burg very much the same as those from
Buffalo.
The reductions proposed include one Of the
dinerential rate which Philadelphia. Balti-
more and similar ports have enjoyed. The
meetingN did not conclude it's work of re-
arranging the tariff. and adjourned until
January Is. when. II s. thought. all mat
tiers still unsettled will be rounded out.
Rates OH which no agreement has as yet
been reached are mainly those to New Eng
