TEXAS FILES COMPLAINT,
THE RAILROAD CONIvISSION
CHARGES CONSPIRACY AMONG
CARRIERS.
Protest Against Advance in Freight
Rates-Presents Document to Com.
nierce Commission Concerning Pro-
posed Increase in Rates.

Washington, Aug. 1O.-The railroad
commission OF Texas today filed a
formal complaint with the interstate
commerce commission against 67 rail-
roads and other common carriers, al
| leging a conspiracy on the part of
the defendants through the South
western Traffic association tor the
| suppression Of competition and re-
straint Of trade in the recent action
increasing freight rates to common
points in Texas. The commission will
forward notice Of this complaint to
all carriers involved and will then
give them Is days to reply, the usual
period allowed for answering a COM
plaint being 20 days. The commits
sion will expedite this case as much
as possible on account of Its wide.
spread importance.
The complaint is signed by Allison
Mayf!ower, chairman of the Texas
railroad commission. with r. v. Da-
wilson, attorney general, and Claude
Pollard, assistant attorney general Of
the State Of Texas, countersigning the
paper.
The complaint undertakes to COM
pare the alleged cost of maintenance
and operation Of the railroads with
the actual cost of the claimed in
debtedness which is supposed to justi-
fy the increase. The railroad COM
mission Of Texas, it appears, has ap-
praised the cost Of construction and
operation Of the roads as we'll as the
actual Indebtedness upon which the
rates may be fairly based.
Eight freight schedules which have
recently been fled with the commits
sion are made the basis Of the COM
plant and all are claimed to have
been brought about by an unlawful
agreement between the defendant
carriers and the Southwestern Traffic
association. Of which they are mem
bers. or whose members represent,
through power Of attorney, those who
are not.
1t declares that the increased rates
will fall primarily upon the commodi-
ties Of prime utility and daily neces-
sity. that they will seriosuly disturb
trade relations. causing loss to ship
pers and consumers, and that the in
creased tax. so far as Texas alone IL
concerned. will amount to $2.s5a,000
a year.

WILBUR WRIGHT A MARVEL.
So Say French Experts After Seeing
Him Make Another Demonstration
of AcrOplanc's Powers.

Lemans, Aug. 10.--After two false
starts Wilbur Wright. the Dayton
CO.. aeroplanist, made successful
ascension here shortly after s O'Clock
this evening. He flew about two
kilometres 1.24 miles) in one minut,
and 43. seconds. official time. OWNS
to the lateness Of the hour, Mr.. Wright
decided not to try longer run. The
flight was viewed by several thousand
people.
The evolutions Of today We're car.
ried out with the same case and mas
terry as those Of Saturday. Mr..
Wright caused the machine to swerve
out OF a direct line Of flight and to
dscribe two loops, like a great figure
eight.
The first false start was due to the
clumsiness Of an assistant, who held
onto the aeroplane too lopg, thereby
causing its right wing to touch the
ground and giving the machine such
an unmanaGeable tilt to starboard
that Mr.. Wright made landing after
traversing only so feet.
On the second trial Mr.. Wright got
away well and the machine rose to 80
feet 1t had traversed 600 feet when
suddenly 1t appeared too near the
branches Of some trees. The motor
did not perform his functions properly
and Mr.. Wright descended in good
style.
Undismayed by these two failures,
Mr.. Wright just at dusk, again as
cended and this time sailed up and
down the field at varying heights. and
finally landed directly In front OF the
grandstand to the accompaniment OF
a burst of applause.
n. DeLagrange, the we'll known
aeronaut, who was the first person
to seize Mr.. wright's hand after the
exhibition. told the Associgted Press
that Mr.. Wright certainly was q mar
vel. He did not consider that todays
mishaps denoted doubtful control OF
the aeroplane. Leon Bollee. another
expert. was Of the opinion that the
wright machine showed the greatest
perfection Of any he had seen ~
consider Mr.. Wright q genius" added
n. Bollee. sHis only mistake lies In
his trying to make all the parts OF
his machine himself. for with the aid
Of expert5 In their manufacture he
undoubtedly would have better and
