cOONS BATTLE UNCLE SAM
Government Raises Game Fowls on
the Gulf Coast, But the An
imals Eat EN- Up.

New Orleans, lathe federal gov
ernment and the state Of Louisiana will
probably have to abandon their plan to
use Breton island. on the gulf coast of
Louisiana, as game preserve for the
propagation of prairie hens and other
fowls, owing to the immense number of
raccoons that have preempted the claim.
Although the island is small one, 1t Is
said by the game wardens that within
its few square miles there must be be-
tween 5000 and 10000 coons of all kinds.
About IL, 900 prairie hens were hatched
this year. and as soon as they become
of an eatable size they were devoured
by the coons. The same has happened
to q number Of other varieties Of game
fowl which the government has endeav-
ored to propagate on the island.
The Breton islands are some distance
from the mainland, and are difacult Of
access. 1t was for this reason that they
were selected ss q preserve. But the
coons were not counted upon, and they
have spoiled all the plans. A force Of
trappers and hunters IL to be sent to the
island after the coons, but SO great is
their number that 1t is feared that they
cannot be exterminated.

COMPARATIVE RATES
MORE IN ENGLAND, AT
 OTHERS LESS.
Delegate AckwOrth of Great Britain Among Witnesses Heard by Sem
 ate Committee on In-
 teFstate Commerce.

Washington, May 9.-The Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce to- day heard the testimony of number of witnesses on the subject of railway rate legislation and later decided to expedite the hearings so as to adjourn possibly May 22.
 w. M. Ackworth of England, a dele gate to the International Railway Con- gress, was the first witness today. He said that within thirty miles the cost of transportation of England was cheaper than in the United States, but beyond that distance the rates in this country were less. The rates in Eng land were about three times as high as in this country, due to the short distance hauled, the small quantities handled in England and the fact that delivery charges are included in the rates. MT. Ackwortn explained that there was complaint In England about railroads, adding that American meats were carried at about half the freight tariff charged for meats produced in England
 E. P. Bacon of Milwaukee continued his statement of yesterday in favor of legislative authority for the Interstate Commerce Commission to fix rates. He presented a brief from the Southwest er1n Lumbermens Association complain ing of unreasonable and discriminating rates on yellow pine shipped to Kansas and Oklahoma. MT. Bacon charged that the low export rate on wheat from Missouri River points to the Seaboard was a discrimination against the American flour manufacturers. Reply ing to Senator Deliver he urged that the farmers received the benefit of the low rate and that the low rate was due to the competition of the gulf ports. Very little flour was exported through tho gulf ports, he said, because of weather conditions. He pointed out that the flour rate was not unreasona- bly high, but that the rate on wheat was too low. T. Bacon advocated the h-Townsend bill. c. D. Cohen, of N. C.. interested in cotton manufacture in several States, opposed any change from the present condi- tions.

 Hoch sat close to his lawyer He appears to take no great interest in the proceedings During the afternoon States Attorney Olsen caused a sensa- ton by declaring that Attorney Poltke, who appeared for HoCh. had instructed Mrs Fischer -Hoch EoW to testify. At torney PoItke denied this and insisted upon taking the stand and denying all the statements made by Mrs. Fischer Hoch which put him in the light of having endeavoreJ to influence her testimony.
 Dr. Lewke of the medical staff of the coroner's office was the last witness of the day. He swore that in his opinion the death of Mrs. Wclcker-Hoch was caused by arsenical poisoning.

Steam Railways Fear Their New Conn

petitORs.
 Columbus, O.. May 9.-Concerted &C., tion against the interurban lines is planned by the steam railroads enter ing Columbus. Up to the present time the Hooking Valley has been the only road that has aggressively fought the electric lines, but today it became known that the Norfolk and Western and Big Four are planning to meet the competition of the interurbans in their territory and that the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania had the matter under advisement.
 The Scioto Valley Traction Company has been giving the Hooking Valley a fight for business between Columbus and Lancaster. Captain w. H. Fisher has reduced rates between Columbus and Lancaster on the Hooking Valley until they are now exactly the same as the fares on the interurban. The Big Four is planning to fight the Columbus, London and Springfield between Colum- bus and London. The Baltimore and Ohio some time ago requested the Pan- Handle to join with 1t in a war against the Columbus, Newark and Zanesville, but the latter refused to enter into the fight at present.
