STARTLING STATEMENT MADE

Million.
by WALTER EDWARD HARRIS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2S.-The
power of the government to regulate
railroad rates is being tested TO the
utmost in the case of the Cattle Grow
ers Association OF Texas against prac-
tically all the railroads OF that State.
1t is alleged by the complainants that
the rates on live stock from Texas
points to market are too high. The
railroads claim that they are operating
at loss. as 1t Is, and that II the COM
mission compels them to still further
reduce their rates they Will be in a
clear road to receiverships.
Argument OF the case by an inpos-
Ing array OF counsel has attracted much
attention yesterday and to-day, when
it was concluded. Judge S. H. Cowan,
of Fort Worth, who is generally cred
lited with being the real author of the
rate bill, represented the cattle men.
Five of the roads had counsel. includ-
ling Judge Ed Baxter, OF Nashville.

Texas Roads Lose Money.

The startling statement was made
by Judge Houston, OF Texas, counsel
for one Of the roads, that since the
creation OF the Texas Railroad Com
mission some years ago Che did not
give the date), the roads OF that State
had operated at O. loss OF twenty mil
lion dollars--,that is, they bad not
come within twenty millions. Of paying
expen ses. He did not present the
books OF the companies to substantiate
his statement. II was one which visl-
bly, impressed the commission.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion decided just prior TO tho enact
ment of the rate law that the rate!
on live stock from Texas points were
unrea sonably high, but the roads paie
no attention to the decision. as tn,
commission did not then have the pow
er to enforce q ruling of that charac
ter, A decision now will be backed
by an order directing compliance.

half backs. for losses, the cadets,
massed in one Of the grand stands,
shouted: Good hoy. Red; that's the
way to do It," They were overjoyed
and takenaunawares.
Two years ago Erwin made the

No one had seen any sign of it.
For two days Forbes lunged at Er.

open field, and made bean bag of
him generally. Then he relegated him
to the scrubs. This was the making
of him.
The next day Erwin appeared on
the field and in the first scrimmage
laid Capt. Smith low by picking him
up with the ball in his arms and
throwing him bodily back ten yards.
Mountford got the next dose, and with
the varsity being broken up Coach
Forbes called halt and put Erwin
back on the first team. That night he
gave him n lecture and told him the
Yale game was his last chance.
When play began Erwin's prowess
stood out above all else. He waded
