INTERSTATE COMMERCE CASE
The Commission Will Hear Arguments
 in Phoenix Case Soon

Two years ago next March there was a hearing in this city before a part of the interstate commerce commission of an action instituted by the Shippers association of Phoenix against the Southern Pacific and Santa F'e rail- ways. The most important cause of complaint was an alleged discrimina- tion against Phoenix in favor of coast points. It was complained that by req son of this discrimination the wholesale business of the valley was confined to a very few miles of the city. The ac- ton had been begun two years before. At the hearing the Southern Pacific was represented by it's general counsel. MT. w. F. Herrin of San Francisco. and the Santa Fe by Judge G. W. Kretz- singer.
 All the evidence on the part of the complainants was put in in less than one day and the matter was adjourned to be taken up again at San Francisco at time not then determined upon. 1t was nearly a year after that when the case was taken up again and the side of the roads was presented. Nothing more was heard of the matter until yes terday. when it was learned that the commission had fixed upon February 3 to hear the argument of counsel. The commission will then be in session in Washington.

 There Is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slirny, innamed condition.

 ed House.
 An unknown negro died yesterday after noon in a deserted out house at l22 Oak Street. after suffering torture from con- gestion. No one gave the unfortunate medical aid or even the aid that IS war ranted by the milk of human kindness.

 The agonies the man suffered are be- yond description. Yesterday he was found lying helpless in an old negro ceme- tery near Hendricks mill on the Mobile Road. He evidently went there with the intention of dying in the exact spot where he had placed himself. Some negroes found him. He was unconscious hut the heart was beating and ne was taken LID and brought to the wretched outhouse where he died.
 The negroes. who brought him to the city. after giving the unfortunate snelter' were content with their action and lett +he sick man alone, but remaining Tn tht neighborhood.
 Their.attention was again called to him. in a way that might well have strlcheh their consciences. s. .,.
 About a hour after they had left the negro in the hovel. piercing, agonzlns shrieks arose from the house. They re, turned to find that the man had regalned consciousness and was rolling on the rune floor of the shelter screaming from the terrible pains of congestion. The negroes watched. No medicine was given nm and for many minutes he sunered- Tn A short while he was dead. He was then approached and given the attehtioh tha' death demands. A
 The negro was apparently about 4Q years old but was terribly emaclated from the racking sickness.
