theaters, the regular theater owned by Walker
Brothers, which secures all the travelling shows
and excavations being a new
vaudeville house. The present theater has a
capacity for LOO. It Is entirely too small for
the size of the city and is always overtaxed
when high-class attractions are engaged. The
new vaudeville house is to be practically the
same size. re.s5r, - s. ~. ~. =e.sE--. u
Efforts are being made to get the two manage

take over the present house and have Walker
Brothers erect a large theater that would supply
the requirements Of the city for some years. A
house with at least 1000 capacity is needed, 1t
could be used not only for theatrical attractions
but for conventions and massmeetings.

rs, WashAngton, Sept. 14.-Unusual in
terest attached to the hearing Of the

day on the question Of the requirement
OF the new railway rate law of thirty
days, notice of intended changes in

Aside from the fact that the testi-
mony and discussions brought out
charges and counter charges Of endeav-
oring to restrict competition on the part
those west Of the river, there was, in
Jected into the proceedings something
of q sensation when Chairman Knapp

Tenn, counsel for a number of rail
roads, bitterly assaulted the writer of, the
letter and charged that it was an in
suit to the commission and those who
were seeking the waiver Of the thirty
day provision of the law.
Sounds a Warning.
Chairman Knapp preceded the read,
that it was for the information Of those
present and that his action should not
be construed as lending approval to
the sentiments therein expressed The
name Of the author of the letter was
not announced, but it appealed to the
commission to do it's full duty and not
permit itself Ito be winked atD in or
der that "secret midnight rates" might
not be given to some favored shipper.
The letter further says: 81 can con-
ceive of no reason which would apply
to cotton which would not with equal
force apply to export grain, flour, live
stock and packing house products If
you will examine the schedules on file
in your office you will find thousands of
co-called export goods which bear on
their face evidence that they are in ref
erence to a special contract which has
been made between the railroad COM
pany~ issuing it and some particular
shipper who is thereby, under color of
law given preference over all his com
petitors, which is the very thing the
law was intended to prevent. It was
