The Mallory and Morgan Lines
Meet Cut Of the Texas City
Steamship Company.
IS NOT CLEAR SAILING
The Morgan and Mallory Companies
Have to Publish Their Tariffs and
Competitor Does Not-Texas
Line Has Advantage.

Houston, Tex, Aug. 20.-That af-
fairs are shaping up for an interest
ing situation involving ocean rates
between the north Atlantic seaboard
and Texas in the future can no long
er be doubted and the present pros
pect is that by the middle of Sep
tember material changes will take
place in charges for transporting
freight to Texas from New York by
water.
Notice has been given looking to
the cancellation of the New York to
Galveston tariff now being observed
by the Morgan and Mallory lines,
which action, following the recent
announcements relative to competi-
ton to be offered in the moving of
this tariff by the lines of the Texas
City Steamship company is taken to
mean that the old lines are prepar-
ing to protect themselves as best they
may against inroads on other busi-
ness, which is becoming more ap-
parent every day.
1t may be that the old lines will
| be checkmated in their present move
| ment because of ruling hereto
! fore made by the interstate com
merce commission requiring steam
ship companies quoting through ratel
that is. rates in combination will
a rail haul-to publish all their tar
iffs, whether between port or from
ports to interior territory. Possibly
the commission has since amended OF
cancelled this ruling, but it is the
understanding in Houston that it is
still effective and will operate either
to prevent the contemplated cancel
lation or cause the withdrawal of all
through rates.
1t looks now as though there is to
be an ocean rate war on business
between the East and Texas ports
| with the Morgan and Mallory lines
on one side and the Texas City
Steamship company on the other
| The Texas port of the old lines is
+, in Galveston, while the vessels of the
new arrive direct at Texas City.

Soldier Is Stabbed.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 20-Late last
night police reserves were called to
the terminal station to quell a riot
that broke out among two companies
of the United States regulars en-
route from Fort Slocum to the Phili-
ppines.
When the local police officers were
unable to curb the trouble call
was made upon Fort Mcpherson for
troops. Colonel Bankhead with a
company of regulars responded hur-
riedly
The trouble started early in the
afternoon when a number of the SOL
diers broke out of their cars, which
were on sidetrack at the Terminal
station, and, it is said, began annoy
ing passengers entering trains. Of
ficer Hill of the local police force
knocked two of the soldiers down,
and then the trouble became gem
eral. Colonel Thompson of the gulf
department was notified, and he re-
sponded, and later Fort Mcpherson
/ was called upon.
During the fighting a soldier nam
| ed Frank Smith was seriously stab
bed and is now in a local hospital
Joseph A. Bleak, another soldier
was placed under arrest.
At $50 the officers had the mer

The widest excitement prevail

Girl Ties Her Ring With Kope While
Swimming and Sucker Swal-
lows II

Logansport, Ind, Aug. 20.-Miss
Marie A. Gross, student of the
Heron Art Institute, while a guest
at the Hanley cottage at Pottawot-
tamie Point, on the Wabash river,
east of town, caught fish with a
diamond. With other girls she row.
ed out to the middle of the stream
to swim. A friend suggested that she
remove the diamond ring which she
wore, stating that it might slip off
in the water.
She removed the ring and having
no other place to put 1t tied 1t to q
piece of fishline and fastened the
other end to the boat. Then she
jumped into the water When she
rowed back to shore Miss Groce
could find neither string nor ring.
The next day while Frank Hanley
was out in the boat he saw a string
running through crack In the rear
board of the craft. He began to draw
in the string and there was an an
swering tug. He pulled hard and uD
out Of the water came a pound and
half sucker. Hanley had forgotten
about the ring and sought the hook
In the suckers mouth
Swallowed the thing" was his
disgusted ejaculation.
He cut the line and threw the
fish in the bottom of the boat. Later
when cleaning the fish he was sur
prised TO find the missing ring In
side the sucker. The supposition that
when the girls were rocking the boat
the string and ring were thrown
out, dangling in the water, and that
a sucker, spying the bright object,
gulped 1t down.
