WANT A CARLOAD RATE.
Petition Filed With Western Traffic
Men at Chicago.

Chicago. May "A committee Of
Missouri river jobbers met the western
traffic men again yesterday and filed a
petition for carload rate on commod-
tiles from Chicago. This new move on
the part of the western jobbing inter-
ests came as a surprise to the railroads
and the Chicago 5obbers. On the COM
mittee were representatives of the NJ
E Smith Dry Goods company of
Omaha, and of Swofford Brothers Of
Kansas City.
Their petition asks for practically the
same thing that the jobbers of the Mis-
souri, river district were recently trying
to get the Great Western to do secretly
and then publish a tariff to cover. To
the astonishment of many Of the rail-
road men the hand of George L.
Thomas, the erstwhile freight broker,
indicted for rebating. was seen In the
movement.
It was stated yesterday that If the
railroads granted the request it was the
plan for brokers to establish distribute
ing agencies here and at st. Louis from
which to forward all kinds of merchan-
disc in carload lots after having
brought them into st. Louis and Chi
cago on the eastern rates. Should the
petition be granted 1t would have the
effect of putting the Chicago 5obbers
out of business in the Missouri river
territory

ROOSEVELT SAYS HALT
Puts a Check on Military Escort for
Father Sherman

Washington, May I'm response to
a dispatch sent to him by the war de-
partment regarding the report that a
military escort had been furnished
Rev. Father Thomas Sherman, son of
the late General w. T. Sherman, for a
march to the sea over the route Cen
era1 Sherman took during the Civil
war, the war department received the
following telegram from Brigadier
General Duvall, commanding the de-
partment Of the gulf at Atlanta:
Replying to your telegram this date
detachment Twelfth cavalry, accom-
panied by Rev. Father Sherman from
Chattanooga to Atlanta, two officers
with eight enlisted men were author
over the line Of operations OF General
Sherman's army in its movement to
Atlanta and to act as escort for Father
Sherman, a son Of the late General
Sherman, who wished for historical
reasons to go over the same territory.
The officers were selected because OF
interest IN the study of former opera
ton of the army and were directed to
submit sketch of the country passed
over and to prepare a memoir of their
trip, to be read before the officers
school at their post. Every oppor-
tunity is taken advantage of to study
the Atlanta campaign, and 1t was
deemed a happy circumstance that a
courtesy to General Sherman's son
could be combined with military in
structions. Practice marches with
large bodies are to be made from now
on over the historic fields of Chicka-
manga and Atlanta by troops from
Forts OgIethorpe and Mcpherson, on
which officers will study and discuss
the operations of General Sherman"
The president had a conference on the
subject with General Bell, chief of staff.
General Bell took General DuvaIfs report
to the White House and after the confer
ence the following dispatch, which re-
stricts the distance which the escort is to
go, was sent to General Duvall:
White House, Washington. May 1.
General DuvaH Commanding Depart
ment of the Gulf Atlanta: In view of the
misrepresentation seemingly caused by the
terms employed in your order. the presi-
dent deems 1t best. after the detachment

A BOOM FOR FUNSTON.
lola Citizens start Presidential Cam
paign for the General.

lola. Kas May "A FunstOn-fOr-
President club was organized here last
evening. A mass meeting for the pur-
pose was called in the afternoon and
last evening a permanent reorganiza-
ton was perfected. with c. H Declute,
a retired capitalist, as president; l. E.
Cof1eld, assistant postmaster who was
a member of Funston's regiment IN
the Philippines. as secretary, and
Frank Woods. cashier of the lola State
bank and secretary OF the lola Com
mercial club. as treasurer.
An executive committee of five was
appointed to assist the officers Capt
T. S. Slower, ex-assistant secretary of
state, chairman Of the committee on
resolutions, offered the following reso-
lutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
1--WE, the citizens Of lola, view with
pride and satisfaction the advancing
and expanding admiration of the
American people for our fellow WINS
man, General Frederick Funston, for
the efficient manner in which he per
forms his many duties and the quick
and intelligent manner in which he
takes upon himself new, unexpected
and untried duties when confronted
by them. We have known him as boy
and man during his entire life spent
among us. We know him in private
life as unostentatious and retiring as
q bashful girl; as an explorer as I'M
stone or a Cortez; as a soldier in
peace as merciful and painstaking for
the comfort and safety OF all as a
sister of mercy, and in war, whether
fighting for the oppressed of other
lands or for the honor of his flag, he
IS a cyclone of rapidly and destruc-
ton. as quick of action as a Sheridan
and as relentless in his execution as a
Custer.
I'm the presence of great calamities
he readily comDrehends the necessity
for quick performance, nor does he for
one moment hesitate to take the re-
spOnsfbility of action. He awaits not
the procrastination of authority. and
he thinks net of precedents. And so
unerring has been his judgment in
establishing. new Drecedents that his
actions have in every case met with
the approval of the hearts of the great
American people.
''He Is wholly and purely American.
He IS the man of the hour The en-
tire civilized world now pays him
homage. It is right and fitting that
such q man should belong to the whole
people. and for his conspicuous
achieven ents. for his absolute devo-
tion to duty and for his unerring
judgment IN seeing his duty and his

Two other occupants of the house
were so badly injured that they may

At Stoney in Denton county the
house of Joseph Foster was blown
down on the family and the ruins took
fire. Mrs. Foster and the children
crawIed out Of the ruins safely, but
Mr. Foster was pinned down by heavy

burned that he died At Sherman a
Methodist church was blown down and
at Brownwood several houses were
partly wrecked.

believe there is a desire among the
people of the United States to bestow
upon this, our friend and nefghbor,
some reward that to a great people
may seem commensurate with his
deserts
Therefore, be it resolved, That we,
the citizens of lola. in mass meeting
assembled, do suggest to the great
loyal. generous people of the United
States that the high and exalted Of
fee of president of the United States
would be most worthily bestowed if
given by them to this most gallant and
faithful soldier, and we ask them to

about the nomination of Frederick
Funston for president by the next Re-
