ROADS GIVEN SQUARE DEAL
Questions Put by Interstate Counsel
Ruled Out-Good Progress Made
Toward Test Case.

With the opening of the third days
hearing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the private car line in
ouiry, If is evident that the commission
Is satisfied with the progress made so
far toward developing a test case.
The commission is showing a spirit of
fairness 10 the railroads and private car
lines named as defendants. ruling out
many questions put by Mr.. Barry which
aim 10 show large profits made on the
shipment of fruits, an dthat contracts
hurtful to the shipper are made between
the railroads and private car lines.
Seek Facts.
Chairman Knapp and Commissioners
Prouty and Clements are trying to
learn the facts. whether favorable to
the contentious of the commission or
otherwise
question which will be given wide
discussion is whether il would pay a
private car line to build cars merely
to rent for mileage. Mr Dodge, gen.
eral traffic manager of the St Louis.
San Francisco and Southern railroad.
known as the Frisco line, testified
that in his opinion 1t would.
Profit Good.
His company has an exclusive contract
with the Armour Company under which
the latter furnishes refrigerator cars
for fruits and vegetables for a mileage
Of one cent per mile for refrigera-
tor cars and three-fourths of a cent per
mile on ventilated cars. Mr.. Dodge
thought this would give a good profit
to the company exclusive of refrigera-
ton charges.
Mr.. Urion, counsel for the Armour
I Company, tried to shake him on this
point but failed.
Too Expensive for Roads.
W. A. Winburn, second vice presiden
Of the Georgia Central railroad. testi
fed that in his opinion his road coul,
not build and equip their own refrige
rating cars to handle the fruit of th
shippers with profit. He said that tn
territory covered by the Georgia Centra
was of too great an extent and the ship
ments too few to warrant an investmen
of 81, ZOO, 900. which would be the sum re
Quired to build the refrigerating cars.
Counsel Urion, for the Armour Com
pany. then questioned Winburn as I
a comparison of rates which would b
charged by the Georgia Central IN cas
that road would be compelled to bull
Its own cars and those charged at pres
ent by the Armour Company. Winbur
replied that in view OF such an invest
ment the rates would have TO be ir
creased. He said further that the-
had been an appreciable decrease in III

Held Commissions Under Three Flags

With the death of John II. Reagan, OF
Texas, few days ago, a figure of singu-
lar interest in national politics passes
away. Mr.. Reagan's public career cover
ed more than 60 years. He began holding
Office when Texas was still an indie
pendent republic. After its admission into
the Union as a state he sat i'm the legis-
lature at Austin. He served two terms
in the federal House of Representatives
before the civil war, Joined in the seces-
sion movement, was a delegate to the
Confederate provisional conference, a
member of the provisional Confederate
Congress, filed the offices of postmaster
general and secretary of the treasury in
Jefferson Daviss cabinet, and was cap
tured with Davis and imprisoned in Fort
Warren. On the removal of his disabili-
ties he was returned to the national House
of Representatives from Texas, sat in that
body for six terms and was then pro-
NOTED to the United States Senate. He
left the Senate voluntarily after four
years to accept the presidency of the
state railroad commission of Texas. To
have held commissions under three separ-
ate flags, to have lived through three
changes of allegiance, to have completed
under the presidency of Benjamin Harri-
son a Congressional service begun under
the presidency of James Buchanan-that
is a record for variety and continuity
PARALLEL in the experiences of few Amerl-
| can statesmen. Mr.. Reagan's death
breaks one OF the few remaining links
! between the older and the newer genera
ton of Southern leaders. He was the last
| survivor of President Davis's two cabi-
nets.

possibility of blood poisoning
Mason gave himself up without resist
ance and was locked up in Jail at Ben
nington. He has had an unsavory reputa-
ton since boyhood. He has served one
term in the state prison and two in the
house of correction for illegal liquor SELL
ing, and is said to have been quarrel
some. Fifteen years ago he quarreled
with and shot at his aged father, who.
however, was not wounded. He was re-
leased from the house OF correction sew
eral months ago, and since has worked

Murder is a Mystery.

Charles Corey, who has been confined
in Washington county jail since Sept. 10.
charged with the murder of Charles Nc
Lane. in Worcester, March IA, 1904. was
released Thursday, the case being mol
pressed on account of lack of evidence
and the death of the principal witness,
Warren Ellis, in the Heaton hospital, last
November. McLane lived in Worcester
alone. He was murdered Saturday, March
IA, but his body was not discovered until
the following Monday. Broken dishes and
a general disorder indicated a struggle
before McIAne was killed. Hollis Heath,
Willard Ainsworth. and Fred Spencer were
arrested on suspicion of being implicated
in the crime. Later Spencer was released
and still later Heath and Ainsworth were
discharged. Corey was arrested last
September. No one is now under arrest
charged with the crime. and apparently
II will remain a mystery.
