From tho railroad standpoint, rates

AN ADVANCE IN RATES1
THE INTlMATIoN OF WALL STREET
is ATTRACTING ATTENTION.
a Prominent Texas Official Declares
That Freight Charges Should Be
Lowered lnstead OF Raised.

The best railroad diplomats in the United
States have been studying the rate situa-
ton With a view 70 making an advance la
freight rates on the FIRST Of the coming
year. The higher officials are reticent on
the subject, though they admit that trouble
is brewing and that It will require their
best efforts TO adjust Affairs 70 meet the
contemplated advance. Some say that the
proposed advance viii not affect Texas,
'for the railroad commission reigns and
rules" but others who understand the COM
mission and It's powers say that the ad'
vance IN Interstate rates would AFFECT
Texas FOR the nrst act OF the commission
would be to put in emergency rates be.
tween Texas common points 70 offset the
advance. then an injunction and a hght IN
the courts. and a compromise In the END.
which would be unprohtahle to both sides
To the controversy. The Railway age com
ments frequently on the situation Inc
Wall street Journal and other corporation
journals are fun Of "frothy' on the subject
and all admit that the advance 10 rates
will be made. The conservative age Is
foremost In advocating a raise Ia rates.
frhe newspnpers. however, are unit ~
protesting against the ADVANCE, ~
reasons given for the advance relate ptln,
clpally to the higher prices OF laoo5 anu anu
material. while against Il are cited tue
large earnings Of the railroads at the pres.
emit time. That Is not all, Inc tr1lhnSyh
OF the entire country west OF the 1850
sippi are preparing to demand an advance

and the railroads seem inclined 10 grant

COMMITTEE is MUM
Very Little Given out About
Fridays Meeting.

Que man says That no Candidates we're
Named and another says They were
Selected Another Meeting OF Fir
ten Called for next Friday night.
The committee of Fifteen met &C
Hess meat shop on Friday night to
canvass the situation and name can
didates for mayor and recorder.
This committee is made up of five
members from each Of the outlying
wards. After the meeting had ad
journed very little information as to
their action could be obtained.
o. H. Ollie acted as chairman OF
the meeting and Van A. Barrickman
was the secretary. A great many
candidates were discussed and the
meeting adjourned to meet at the
same place on Friday next One OF
those present was asked about the
meeting and he stated that no can
didates were named for the offices
in question.
He said that the members of the
committee were not quite ready to
act but that they would name their
men at the next meeting.
Mr.. Barrickman was seen by this
paper this afternoon He refused te
talk for publication but said that
can lidates had been virtually agreed
upon. These he would not name
as he said they would be subjected
to too hot a fire at present.
1t would be giving away the hands
of the outsiders If too much was
said ut present. However he ad'
mitted that a guess as John Tough
for mayor and Layton Coombs for
recorder would not be far wrong
He did say that both men nance
lived outside the the third ward.
He next made the statement thai
no candidates had been nominated
formally but when pressed said tina
they had made up their minds as Il
whom had been selected.
