AN INVESTIGATION
OF STATE RAIROAD COMMISSIONS
 OF>SOUTH.
Vice President Powell of Southern Railroad Suggests Invesdga- ton To The Interstate
 Commerce Commis-
 sion At Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept, 26-An investi- gation into the work of the State Rail road Commissions of the South, was suggested at the Interstate Commerce. Commission rate hearing this morning.
 T. c. Powell. Vice President of the Southern Railway was again on the stand on behalf of the railroads. In the course of his testimony, he said that interstate traffic has in some in- stances to bear an Dextra burden, be- cause of injury to revenue from intra- state traffic by reason of the acts of state commissions. Commissioner Lane seemed somewhat surprised at this statement, saying that such a condi- tion is lamentable If 1t really exists; that the Federal commission, railroads and State commissioners act on some harmonious basis, so that all burdens might be equitably borne.
 Before he left the stand, Mir. Powell was asked to submit statement based on actual results, showing the extent to which state commissions had in- creased the cost of operation and re- duced the revenue of the railroads.
 It was stated that the state cem- missioners would be asked to submit A statement in rebuttal. Mir. Powell did not ascribe recent advances to the panic He said business depression had made them imperative; that more revenue was needed before the panic began.

RACE CARD MAKING
TRoT HAS BEEN AR-
 RANGED.
It Was Substituted for 2sio Trct Sched- uied for October 21--Mav Hang Up $500 Purse for
 Free -for-Ali.

One of the features of the racing during the fair at Vandiver Park was officially decided on yesterday. It Is free-for-all trot and will be the second race on Thursday, October 22. A 2:i0 trot was on the card for that day but at a meeting of the racing committee yesterday it was decided to substitute a free-for-all trot and do away with the 2:10 trot altogether. The purse for the 2:1o trot was s400. but the chances are that e $500 purse will be hung up for the free-for-all.
 This should bring out field of trot- ters that will make race worth go- ing a long way to see. At the same meeting of the racing committee it was decided to put on a couple more run ming races with purses of sl00 for each. If the free-for all purse is made $500 and xhe two additional running races $100 each it wfil run the purses to be offered during the meeting to s6.350--and there are quite a few own CTS who will be glad to have a try for some of that bunch of coin.
 Mir. l.. H. McCurdv of Lowndesboro. one of the Vice-Presidents of the South- ern Fair Circuit. and one of the off, cials of the local fair. got in yesterday morning from Nashville. where he has been attending the races. He says most if not quite all of the horses that are racing at Nashville now will be in Montgomery and predicts a week of the best racing at Vandiver Park that the people of this section ever wit. messed.

CANCELS ALL PREPARATIONS.
Cholera Causes POstpOnement of tn
 FIeet,a Welcome.

Fleets Welcome.
 Manila. Sept. 26.-As has been pre- viously predicted. the formal welcome to the battleships of the American fleet has been postponed on account of the presence of cholera in this city.
 The committees in charge of the re- ception. after a conference with Gov ernor General Smith and a number of prominent business men. today decided that 1t would be wisest and safest and cancel all preparations for the eel ebration until the fleet returns from Japan in November. In honor of the fleets presence. however. the confer ence concluded to carry out the water parade on the day of arrival.
 Governor General Smith is advising the authorities at Washington of the development of strong criticism di- rected against the health authorities of the city because of the fact that Manila was not protected by quaran- tine and closer protection of the dis trict where the cholera has claimed the greatest number of victims It is probable that an investigation will be demanded.

New York. Sept. 26.-Steadied by Mathewson's strong arm, the New York team today atoned in part for yester- days double defeat by landing a double victory from Cincinnati, the scores be- ing to 3 and 3 to l. The 32.000 spec tators who had followed the plays with great enthusiasm, left the field at the close convinced that New York can get the pennant, for the complete reversal of form yesterday seemed to indicate that Manager McGraw was right when he expressed the opinion that the set back resulting from putting in the box the new pitchers would be easily over come.
 But Chicago's duplication of her dou- ble victory over Brooklyn means that New York must put up high grade baseball in the remaining eleven games it has to play. Chicago has but six games more to play before the end of the season. Scores:
