Tom oehiItree,s Moon.

After Tom Ochiltree, that able con-
gress raconteur and laugh generator
for the afflicted rich, settled in New
York as the amuser of the John w.
Mackay family, he effervesced in a
thousand different directions, and was
as good in some ways as Sam Ward.
One night he escorted John Mackay's
friend, the Count de Biscuit, down to
the Battery to show the sight OF New
York. The moon was grand, and the
count went into raptures as "her
maiden reflection rippled over the
pearly waters" He cried: "Eet ISIS
grand! Eet is grand! Dair ISIS no
such moon in all Italy!" Count"
said Ochiltree, solemnly, as becltted
the occasion, you just ought to see
the moon in Texas"

made in June or July, 1906, by T.. B.
Mnyrison, Mr.. Sims predecessor in Of
dicas that Mr.. Morrison's action APP
1E,ars TO have been duly authorized at
the time by the department; that in
She opinion of the department the ar
Fafgsment had greatly facilitated the

lain portions of the evidence might be
fairly open to unfavorable comment,
the department regarded the govern

"a matter of public policy to give effect

Low KANSAS Rate
Board of Railroad Commissioners
Ordered Flat Two-Cent
Per Mile Fare.
60 into EFFECT OCTOBER |
Roads Were Given Opportunity to
Present Testimony Showing I'm
fairness of Proposed Rate But
None Was Offered.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 6.-The board
of railroad commissioners Wednes-
day afternoon ordered the railroads to
put in a fiat two-cent fare rate on or
before October /. The railroads have
not made any definite announcement
of their contemplated action, but it
is understood they will recognize the
order till the question is settled in
some of the other states in which it
is pending. At 2:45 Wednesday af-
ternoon the attorneys for the rail-
roads reported from a conference and
made formal protest to the board
action in overruling the motion to
dismiss. The board retired shortly
after and reached Il decision in five
minutes.
Gardiner Lathrop attorney for the
Santa Fe, said that the matter would
be passed up to the heads of the
railroads for final decision. The rail
roads die not introduce evidence
when asked to do so by the board
and the action by the board followed.
Most of the morning session OF the
board was spent in hearing argu-
ments in support of motions or the
railroad attorneys to dismiss the
complaint of the attorney for the
board. Mr.. Grattan. The board over
ruled the motions to dismiss and in
doing so, G. w. Kanavel, chairman
said that the board would throw down
the bars and that any evidence which
the railroads wished to offer would
be permitted to be introduced
This action of the board came as
great surprise to the railroad attor
news. AS soon as it was announced
the attorneys held a hurried confer
ence to see what evidence could be
gathered at once or whether more
time should be asked for preparing
the case.
The board, in throwing down the
bars. announced that it would go int
! the case thoroughly and impartial!
and if the railroads desired 1t, thu
question of an emergency rate 10
| Kansas would be dropped hereafte
and only the question of the fairness
of the rate, would be considered; u
G. F. Grattan, attorney for tn
| commissioners, in replying to tn
railroads attorneys, reviewed tn
two-cent fare questions in Nebraska
and Missouri. He insisted that raj
roads in Kansas should do for tn
people of the state what the legisla
lures and courts of other states ha
found just and right. He said he dl
not believe that the rate he was ash
ing would be found to the detrimen
of commerce. He maintained tina
the Kansas law gave the board ampl
authority to- supervise all -passenge
rates, and the board. could orde
changes in rates. He believed tina
the railroads should put in the rat
provisional upon the final rulings
other states, and If the .two-cent far
were Knocked out there the boar
should then have its investigate
into the reasonableness of the, rate
cover all future time. -.
