credited here. The Standard and Vacuum
OIL companies representatives In London
have heard nothing on the subject. while
the Scothch oil interests who would be

there is no such foundation for the report.
Those who are in the trade do not be-
lieve that any chancellor Of the exchequer
would propose a duty which would prove
so unpopular. They joint out that the
poor would be the only sufferers as the
price of oil would be increased by the
amount of the duty. This duty has long
been suggested, but the custom officials

COTTON BELT LINE
ROAD COULD NOT STAND THE
CUT IN FREIGHT RATES ASKED
BY BUREAU, AND coNsEouENT-
LY WfTHDRAWS.

Memphis, Tenn, April 6.-It Is announc-
ed by local officials of the st. Louis and
Southwestern railroad Cotton Belt that
the regular passenger train which left
Memphis tonight as $40 p. m. for the
southwest, is the last train of this sys-
tenn that will be operated to or from
Memphis. In other words, the departure
of this train marked the withdrawal of
the Cotton Belt from this city. All en-
ployes of the system here have been no.
titled that they win be sferred TO
other points and they viii leave for their
new assignments as soon as the offices
here can be closed.
The Memphis freight bureau will pre-
sent a memorial to the city council to-
morrow which will explain the conten-
tions between the freight bureau and the
Cotton Belt.
w. C. Peeler, division passenger agent
of the Cotton Belt here, has been trans
ferred to Shreveport La, in the same
capacity.
The withdrawal of the Cotton Belt was
the result of contention on the part of
the freight bureau that the system was
not giving the manufacturers freight
rates on commodities from competitive
points as low as were given to other
cities. The freight bureau has been en-
deavoring for some time to bring about
an adjustment of the rates such as is
considered fair to manufacturers inter
ests. The Cotton Belt officials contend
that If they made the rates sought by the
freight bureau, the Memphis business
would necessarily have to be handled at
loss. Rather than concede the rates
requested, the Cotton Belt officials de-
