RATES IN FLORIDA RAILROAD COMMISSION MAKING
 AN INVESTIGATION.
Matter of Raising The Salary of Mayor Charles H.

Pensacola. Fla, July 11-(Special)- An investigation of the contention of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad that 1t cannot reduce its passenger rate from to 3 cents per mile is be- ing made by the Florida Railroad Com mission. through its representative Frank P. Damon.
 MT. Damon arrived here today and IS gathering information as to the Dusi- ness over the P. & A. division of the road during the past year. He will submit a report to the Commission at an early date. He is to visit all towns of importance along the line. and obtain data not only applying to the passenger business, but also the freight business done by the division.
 At present the Louisville & Nash vile charges cents per mile on sor,e divisions in Florida, while on others 4 cents per mile Is charged A 4-cent rate. it is stated. Is extortionate at the present time. though not many years ago the country was thinly settled and but little business was done in the way of handling freight Now, with the settling of the country the busi- ness. it is claimed, has been more than trebled. and the Railroad Commission has been called upon to adjust the passenger rates. It Is believed that the final outcome will be a reduction in the rate.

BODY CRUSHED '. BENEATH CARS Luther Fields Meets a
 Horrible Death. BODY CUT ALMOST IN TWAIN Was Inspecting Cars When Aeci-
 dent Occurred. Did Not Hear Approach of Switch En- gine and Cars aud was Knocked
 Down Without

l With his body cut almost in twain | by the wheels of a freight train that
 had run over him. the remains of Lu-
 ther c. Fields, foreman of the car de-
 partment of the Louisville and Nash
 vile Railroad. was picked up yester-
 Nashville yards between the Union De-
 pot and Bell Street Bridge. and were
 brought to the undertaking esta ol!sh-
 ment of Coroner w. H. Tice, where
 they were prepared for interment.
 The accident to the popular employe
 of the railroad occurred about 6:30
 o'clock. and cast a gloom over his
 friends and officials of the road who
 had known him from boyhood. Mir. Fields had been for twenty three
 years an efficient and valued employe of the railroad. under whose cars his life was crushed out yesterday. He had spent nearly all of his life In Montgomery. having numberless friends
 in this city and the confidence of them all. His death yesterday afternoon was l a peculiarly sad and distressing one. Neuda West. the only eye witness to the scene. says that Mir. Fields had stepped from engine No. 691, operated by Joe Cardwell. for the purpose of in- specting a car which was standing on a parallel track. As he did so the train of cars which he had stepped from and which Engineer CardWel was deslr ouS of switching on the track which the foreman occupied. were cut loose from the engine and sent speeding ini the di- | rection of the employe. who was talk ing a memorandum of the car he had inspected.
 His back being to the approaching cars. and apparently forgetful of the close proximity. the foreman was struck as he was standing in the mid- dle of the track. and his life crushed out.
 Coroner Tice was at once summoned to secure the remains of MT. Fields. and the body was brought to the city for preparation. Mir. F1elds's son. who happened to be near by, but not fin sight of his father at the time of the accident, carried the news to the wid- owed mother and to his seven brothers and sisters.
 MT. Fields was 43 years of age, and was born in Montgomery. Nearly all of his life was spent in the employe of the Louisville and Nashville Itail- road, by which company he was held in the highest esteem. The deceased was a respected and prominent mem Der of the Knights of Honor. Lodge No. 319. and was a diligent member and constant attendant upon the ser vices of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
 The funeral services of the deceased will be announced later. though the in- terment will be in Oakwood Cemetery.

To Raise Mayors Salary.

The first division in the City Coun- cil since the new members were seat ed. occurred today. when an effort was made to increase the salary of the Mayor. as provided by the bill passed by the last Florida Legislature. This bill authorized the Council to increase tho salary any sum not exceeding $.,- 500 per annum.
 At the meeting today, one of the al- dermen. who has heretofore been op- posed to the Mayor. moved to increase the salary to $1.500 per year. and when this motion was seconded, an inter- esting discussion ensued. every alder man present having something to say for or against the motion. An amend ment was finally made, leaving. the salary as at present, 31,200 per year. and the amendment carried by vote of to 4. three aldermen being absent.
 After this. one of the aldermen en- edavoring to increase the salary ask ed unanimous consent to introduce an ordinance placing the Mayors salary at $2,000 per year, and failing to get unanimous consent. gave notice that he would introduce the ordinance at the next meeting.
 It is not known how the three .b- sent aldermen will view the matter excepting that possibly one of them :s in favor of an increase.
