REPORT OF ARKANSAS RAILROAD
COMMISSION
Alleged Overcharges in Freight Rates
and Demurrage, and Other
Matters.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept 3.-The sec
ond annual report of the railroad COM
mission of the state of Arkansas is
about ready for transmission to the
governor The narrative report is, in
part, as follows:
Railroad Building-During the time
covered by this report encouraging
progress has been made in the con-
s5tructiOn and extension of railroads
running into practically new and unde
veloped sections of the state. The
White River railroad, a branch of the
Missouri Pacific system, is being built
from a point north of Batesvile up
White river in the direction of the zinc
fields OF Northeast Arkansas.
The St Louis and North Arkansas
railroad has been extended from Eu-
rcka Springs to Harrison, a distance
of some IS miles, and the construction
is being pushed with Marshall as the
present objective point.
The Ozark and Cherokee Central
railway the Fort Smith Western rail
road the Arkansas and ChOctaw and
the South Missouri and Arkansas have
also made considerable progress in
construction.
Upon the whole, the conditions seem
to have been absolutely favorable to
railroad building, and great and costly
improvements are constantly being
made in tho tracks and equipments of
Ehe long lines.
Ratcs-Prior to the publication of
the first annual report the standard
freight distance tariff had been adODt-
ed and Dut in force on the Longtime
roads. While this tariff may. in some
respects be imperfect and Inadequate

charged by the roads prior to its adop-
sion Hence it has been deemed best

essential features. Tariffs have also

litigation-In the suits instituted
against the commission in which in
functions were adverse to the commits
sion, the same are now pending and
are being diligently pressed for final
adjudication.
Recommo udations-We have seen
no good r"ason to recede from the DO
Sltlon t. zen in the first annual re
port, with reference to additional leg

Five Favorites Out of Six Land the
Money

And 1t came 10 pass that after many days
of weary waiting the faithful band of race
goers who adhere strictly to form were
richly rewarded by cashing in big bets on
five favorites at the Crescent City Jockey
Club yesterday afternoon.
F'avorites passed the post without a break
in their ranks up to the fifth race. Then
came a setback-a second choice defeating
the first pick by neck. In the last race
the favorites once again asserted their
quality and wound up the days sport by
winning. The contests were remarka BILE
for the number of stirring finishes they pro-
duced. Out OF six races three were won by
the margin of short head in desperat te
drives.
Ames. the top-heavy choice for the fifth
race. should have won. but Otis was not
capable of handling him skillfully when
Lyme challenged with a rush on Velma
Clark. and the result was head victory
for the latter This was the only race OF
the day in which the talent lost their
money.

were arrested after Wilson had been his
guest for several days.
The Baltimore detectives recovered about
5000 worth of diamonds from one of the
prisoners. Efforts are now being made to
have the property identified. 1t is possible.
but not probable, that some of the jewelry
was taken from houses in this city. De-
tectives Horne, Boyd and O. 'Brien went to
Baltimore yesterday and saw the jewefry,
but were unable to identify any OF 1t. Capt
Boardunan and Detective Weldon went to

Besides the large amount OF jewelry, the
men had $40 In cash on them. Riley made
