WASHINGTON. oct. s.--A hearing
was given today by the interstate
commerce commission to representa-
tives of the railroads of the country
on the subject of the preparation and
filing with the commission Of tariffs.
1t is a subject Of much importance to
the railroads, although it is practically
entirely technical and about hundred
Of the traffic officials of the important
lines of the country attended the hear
ing.
Tentatively the commission has de-
cided to issue an order specifying the
requirements that would be made with
respect to the filing of tariffs. Some
of these are that Joint tariffs shall be
filed by the initial line; that the sched-
ule of each initial line shall be printed
as an independent document, particle
pating lines may file with the commis-
sion a general authority for any initial
line to file on their behalf all tariffs;
class rates shall be filed in tariff by
themselves; In the compilation OF tar
ifs Of the uniform order shall be OBJ
served: and terminal charges which
must be paid by all l..ippers at des-
tination and which are, therefore,
really a part of the cost of transpor-
tatiCn, must be specified In the tariff
Of the initial line
On these and other propositions re-
specting the film gof the tariffs the
commission invited suggestions in
writing from all Interested parties. In
addition 1t appointed a day for an
oral hearing on the subject.
the carriers held a meeting, at which
they appointed committee to present
their ideas to the commission. This
committee reflected the views of the
carriers in different parts of the coun-
try.
The representatives of the carriers
occupied the greater part of the after
noon in presenting their views to the
commission.
1t was evident from the statements
submitted that the carriers are expert
encing difficulty in preparing their
tariffs, and especially in arranging for
the uniformity which is required. They
indicated, however, their desire to do
the best they could.
The commission has informed the
carriers that after a sufficient time
had been allowed for a revision of the
tariffs mo schedule will be filed by
the commission which is not construct
ed in conformity by the commission
and which does not so state the rates
so that they can be understood by a
person of ordinary Intelligence"

YOUTHS SEE QUINN
SINK IN Day.

While swimming in the bay off
Beale-street wharf about 5 o'clock last
evening William Quinn was drowned
in sight of James Johnson and Joseph
Christoph, two small boys who were
on the dock. Quinn. who lived at 1861
Folsom street, was formerly match
maker of the San Francisco Athletic
Club and was well known in the local
ity in which he lived. He was known
as Billy to all his associates
Quinn was employed in the Mercan-
tile Box Companys factory at Folsom
and Beale streets, and after work was
accustomed to swim in the bay. Last
evening he took his last swim.
The two boys on the wharf saw
Quinn suddenly raise his arms in a de-
spairing gesture over his head and sink
under the surface of the water. They
hurriedly informed Policeman George
Mongolia The police dragged the bay
for two hours, seeking to recover the
body and finally succeeded. When the
body was brought to the wharf it was
thought that it still contained a spark
of life, and for an hour the people on
the. wharf worked over it, but to no
purpose.

OARSMEN POSTPONE RACE
FRAMED FOR THIS MONTH
Lack of Interest of Crews Causes
Delegates to Give Up the
Event.

The rowing regatta that the Pacific
Association of Amateur Oarsmen
planned for the end of the month has
been called off. There was a hitch
in the scheme when it came to the
point of deciding where the contest
should be held. The delegates from
the Ariel Rowing Club and the Dolphin
Swimming and Rowing Club were in
favor of the course off Sausalito, where
the water is Tive" The delegates
from the Alameda Boat Club wanted
the races held over the course on
Lake Merritt. The delegates of the
former clubs voted for Sausalito,, and
IL was decided to hold the event at
that place. From the time that Sausa-
Tito was settled, some of the members
of the other clubs say, the rowing con-
tingent in the Alameda Club ceased
to take an interest in the contest, and.
in fact. did not go into training When
the Ariels and Dolphins heard this they
decided to call off the regatta
The next event of Importance in the
rowing game will be the ladies' day
to be given by the Dolphins next Sun
day at the clubhouse at the foot of
Van Ness avenue. All the other clubs
on the bay have been invited to the
affair. and IL will be a gala day at
North Beach. Beside dancing the
ladies will be entertained by a series
of races and nautical programme.
The Ariels will give a clambake at
Hunters Point on Sunday, October T..
This will be similar to the event given
a few weeks ago.

ELECTORINE WINS
In A COMMON
CANTER.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

LOUISVILLE, Sept 25.-A drizzling
ram began falling as the horses were
sent TO the post for the opening race at
SIX furlongs. Aline Crockett, from the
l. p Hays string. was made an over
Whelming choice to win the race. but
faiied to run within pounds of her true
form and was beaten throughout.

hfteen that started and won in a COM
mon canter from Nedra, Nancy Hart
taking third money in a hard drive
from Handy Girl.
meeting resulted with the running of
the second race, in which three of the
fourteen starters fell. Shortly after
the start there was a general mix-up
and in a flash Pullman. ridden by c.
Morris, fell. Selfish, ridden by ]. Muir
ply, also went down, and Begun, on
which Scoville had the mount, could
not avoid the mix-up and also fell
heavily.
Sister Huffman. lucky to avoid the
jam, wore down Bensonhurst, the
leader, and won as her rider pleased,
While Bensonhurst, also escaping the
jam, was an easy second before Sonny.

broken. He had been purchased just
before the race by d. c. Meyers, who
paid Nose Goldblatt $500 for him. AS
a result Of the accident Jockey SEQ
Vile sustained the worst injuries. His
left leg was broken. Jockey Morris
was cut over the left eye. Jockey
Cherry's left leg was injured.
Harry Scott, favorite in the third
race, at one mile. gave the talent a
hard jolt when he failed to finish in
the money. He gave promise for the
first three-q quarters by trailing the
leader, Phalanx, closely, but when
called on for hard effort faded fast
and gave way to Miltiades and Har-
makis. This pair fought it out through
the stretch, the former winning hand
