POLITICAL PHASE OF THE
 RAILROAD RATE HEARING

will be filed uth the interstate commis- sion until aftei the presidential election.
 Another phse of the hearing about which there hs been some gossip Is th~ possibility of igal procedure against the Southeastern nd other freight assoeia- tions on the round that their organiza- ton is maintined ia violation of fne sherman antitrust law. Some such ac- ton as this hs been forecasted in dis patches from Washington. Governor Co., mer of Alabaia has urged that the de- partmert of jBtice take hold of the mat ter with viev to determining whether these freight associations are not illegal combinations | restraint of trade. It will be recalled to, that much of the evil dence taken a the hearing in this city, particularly onthe part of the complain ants, seemed dsgned to prove that such illegal combination existed.
 Should anything be done in this direc- tion, it Is sal, 1t would scarcely inter fere with the uestion of rate increases. It is possible or the Increased rates to be upheld andat the same time to take action against he associations under the antitrust law should any ground for such proceduredevelop.
 Altogether tn rate investigation situa- ton has taken on an interesting phase and its outcomi will be watched with no small amount interest.

MAIL INCREASES
 AT CHEAP RATES

London, October 4-An enormous quan- tity of American mail was sent out from Huston station this afternoon to meet the Lusitania at Queenstown. That por- tion of the first penny mall to the United States, which was sent down to Liverpool yesterday in order to ease the pressure at the general postoffice alone estab- lished a record, while additional letters have been pouring in by the thousands from the provinces all night long, and they are still coming today. The general postoffice had to reinforce it's staff and the men worked all last night. They were scarcely able to cope with the tre- mendous rush, and an additional army of sorters was put on this morning.

total destruction of the timber, upon

HARD BLOW HITS ROADS
Federal Court of Appeals Sustans
Safety Appliance Law.

st. Louis, Aug. 25.-Two sweeping
opinions, noteworthy in that the de-
cisions of the lower courts are re-
versed in full in each instance. were
handed down by the United States
court of appeals here yesterday sus-
tanning the position of the govern
ment against the railroads in the mat
ter of the safety appliance law of con,
gress. The cases decided were those
of the government against the Atchi'
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
company and of the government
against the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad company
BY these decisions the court of ap
peals abrogates the common law
rules of reasonable care" that have
heretofore governed, and behind which
the railroads sought shelter, and up
holds in full tile acts of congress
which, the opinions hold, now totally
supplant the common law rules.
The Denver and Rio Grande case
was argued before the lower court OF
demurrers, while the Santa Fe case
was tried by a jury.
