IMPORTANT TRAFFIC. RULING.
Shippers Pleased With Decision Of
Texas Supreme Court.


Dallas. Tex, Feb. 6.-Railroad men and
shippers as a unit admit that the decision
of the Texas Supreme Court in the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe case is by far the
most important ruling. from a traffic
mans standpoint that has been made in
the Texas courts.
Had the Supreme Court held against the
contention of the commission it would
have been impossible for a shipper to have
taken advantage of a combination of To-
Gals without having an agent at gateway
points. In short. the Santa Fe alleged that
no shipper could cOntrovert through inter-
state rates by a combination of local
rates.
The commission set forth that in Texas
territory its rulings were paramount, and
that no shipper be denied the privilege of
taking advantage of the rates promul-
gated by that body.
In view of the choice of the decision, an
application would be made to the Supreme
Court by the Santa Fe for a renearlng in
the matter. Should 1t be refused, il is
likely that the case will be taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States.

deep water and sank. The other boys
heard his cries for help and couple

in an effort to save the drowning boy.
He managed to catch him by the hair
and was swimming to shore but becom-

order to save himself. Beeman came
up five times before going down for
good. A large crowd was soon at the
scene of the drowning and r. DECKER

and prepared for burial. Beeman leaves
loss. The funeral will be held tomor-
