i ried to Warner-Smiley's undertaking es- tablishment Coroner Paris went to De- soto yesterday to investigate the case. He states that he believes the man was struck by the train and not knocked in the head and robbed as was at first thought
 From letters found in Arnold's pocket 1t is believed he was from Hollywood City, Ala, and the authorities there will be communicated with today. He was well dressed and seemingly belonged to good family. One of the letters was from man in Dalmar Ala, and said that he could give Arnold a place at $40 month and board, and it Is supposed tht he was going in that direction when killed.  examined by the other side, it will be necessary to later send the witnesses to the United States to examine or cross examine them before a commission here
 It is believed that most Of the witnesses would gladly avail themselves of the op- portunity of making a trip to San Fran cisco but there are no means of com- polling them to go to America, so it was necessary to examine at least part of the witnesses here.
 The affidavits so far secured bring out the fact that the circumstances attending the accident were practically the same as reported at the time. but they give sworn accuracy to the details. They show that the automobile was going at the rate of sixty or seventy miles an hour when MT Fair applied the full force of the power full brakes to the automobile, which Is still in possession of Consul General Cow dy, and shows that 1t did not collide with tree, for the machine is practically un- injured. The suddenness of the stop shot the occupants of the machine forward to the roadway and MT Fair struck head first, the affidavit showing that he died instantly. They also show that Mrs. Fair continued breathing but died soon after her husband.

Dlsreaarded Published Rates.

Tn the investigation made by the inter- state commerce commission respecting rates on dressed beef and packing house products from Kansas City and Chicago, it was finally discovered that for years the railroads had constantly and habl- tually dsregarded their published tariffs, and had carried such products at rates below the published tariff to an amount so great that the difference between the pub lie rate and the actual rate amounted to millions of dollars a year. The effect of such secret cutting of rates Is to place in the hands of a small aggregation of ship pers the absolute control of the business because no person can afford to enter into competition who does not receive the cut rates"
 The report says further:
 Covers the Whole Ground.
 Your committee believes that the legis- lation proposed by the Elkins bill, to- gether with the present interstate com meree law. covers about all the ways that thought or language can devise or de- | scribe to prevent the granting of dis criminations in favor of one shipper as against another orJ the building up of one concern through the favorltism of rail road corporations"
 In addition to the amendments hereto
 
 stores the words whenever the attorney general shall direct, either of his own motion or upon request of the inter-states commerce commission" which appeared In the original draft of the bill and was eliminated by the senate,
 Minority Report.
 The six minority members of the conn mittee on interstate and foreign com Ine1cH, Representatives ho DaVey, Adamson, Ryan, Davis and Rich ardson of Alabama, also filed their views. After saying that they do not oppose the bill as reported, and that it will not afford much relief they add that the little of good that it does contain the people should have. Continuing. they say:
 'The bill now reported Is not nearly so far-reaching and remedial ais the Lit tlefield bill. which a few days ago passed this house on roll call by a unanimous vote. In debate on the Littlefield bill. 1t was freely predicted that it would never become law and It was openly charged that Its passage in this house was merely for the sinister purpose of beguiling and deluding the people into the belief that the dominent party was willing to enact legislation limiting the evils of monopoly. Since the passage of the bill the public press from day to day has feemed with uncontradlcted an- nouncements that the Litlefield bill is to be thrust aside and the EllSins bill and the Nelson publicity amendment substi- tuted therefore, and that no other or further antitrust legislation Is to be en- acted. Such course would be to jest with the country upon the most solemn question of the day, and to trifie with the most serious interests of the people. If the Littlefied bill was meritorious when it passed the house a few days ago, 1t is merit orious now It does not In any manner conflict with the provisions of the Elkins bill now reported from this committee.
 The minority proposes that the bill be amended by adding the principal features of the I,ittlef1eld bill,

cOAsrING FORBIDDEN.
This Sport Stopped BY the Police Yes.
terdav.

The police Sunday afternoon or
dered that coasting down the hill
sides cease. The exciting sport was be-
ing enjoyed by hundreds of boys and
girls, who were reluctant to stop, as
the streets are icy and in prime con-
dition for coasting. The noise on all
the hills caused many complaints to
be made to Chief Bowen, who issued
the order. The sport was also accom-
panied by some danger. as the heavily
loaded bobsleds came down with q
speed of forty miles an hour, and it
was next to impossible to stop for
teams crossing the streets where the
coasting was going on. One bobsled
was timed and went eight blocks in
forty eight seconds. Thirteen blocks
make a mile. The sleds would not
stop until they reached Front street.
