FOR A TWO-CtNT FARE


Ausuu Texas. Sept Railroad
Commissioner Colquitl this after.
noon stated that he did not agree
with Chairman Maygieid In his posi
iion Of waiting until the Houston a
Texas Central rate suit Is finally
settled by the courts before adopting
a cent rate for passengers In Tex.
as Mr Colquitt said that said rate
is merely for adults on one road at
Il &, while u &c fare would bc on
all roads and a half fare for chill
dteu. Tie said that II the roads could
prevent reductions ty keeping other
suits In the courts. IL would develop
into "A tavorite practice and tie up
the commission, declaring In this in.
stance that the Houston and Texas
Central 2ia cent rate suit would
probably last four years He is op-
posed to waiting
Continuing, Mr. Colquitt stated
that the roads could not effectively
enjoiu the uniform &c rate, ms the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas and
Cotton Belt would be forced to use
the rates until court Of last resort
set them aside. and the other roads
would necessarily be forced to use
them in order to meet the competi-
tion OF the &c fares on the Katy and
Cotton Belt - latter two roads
accepted their consolidation bills.
which provided that they must ac-
cept all rates made by the railroad
commission and use same until they
are finally set aside by a court Of
last resort.
Mr. Colquitt said that would
force those two roads to use the &c
fares, and the others you'd be com
PEELED to do so or lose the passen-
ger travel. He says the commission
is in a splendid position with refer
ence 10 enforcing a &C fare, and he
favors putting it into effect
Mr. Colquitt stated that yester

IMPUGN MISS LOVING.
State Tries to Prove Virginia Girls Story a Fabrication.


 HOUSTON, Va, June 2S.-At the trial of former Judge Loving for the murder of young Theodore Estes all the evidence is in. The rapidity with which the trial has progressed has been most remarkable and surprising to all concerned.
 It is reported that District Attorney Jerome of New York has interfered in the trial by wire because. the ques- tions involved are almost identical with those involved in the Thaw case. He sent a personal telegram to Judge Barksdale. Counsel for Judge Loving were greatly incensed at this action of District Attorney Jerome.
 The session marked most important turning point in the case when Judge Barsdale rendered an opinion concern ing the admissibility of certain evil dence, the decision dealing heavy blow to the plans of the prosecution. Attorney Dauiel Harmon. for the pros ecutiOn, announced his intention of in- troducing witnesses to show that the
  story told by Miss Elizabeth Loving to her father that she was drugged and assaulted by Theodore Estes was a fabrication and that Estes never of- fered any indignities to the girl, even suggesting that there might be anoth- CT motive back of the killing.
 The defense objected to the intro- duction of such testimony on the ground that it had no bearing on the case and whether true or false had nothing to do with the question of the insanity of Judge Loving at the time of the tragedy. Judge Barksdale in lengthy opinion sustained the con- tention of the defense. and among the cases he cited as authority was the fa- nous Thaw trial in New York.
 There are at least seven attorneys to make speeches, and it is expected that the case will go to the jury tomorrow. An acquittal is expected.
