Interstate Commerce gave a hearing to-day the

recurring railroads engaged In interstate commerce
TO furnish cars promptly TO shippers. Those who
sroke in behalf OF the bill were Judge s. H Cowan

Raisers' Association Of Texas; Murdo Mackenzie
of the American Livestock Association: c. ". Mer-
chant of Texas and A. E De Rickles. of Colorado
Representatives OF grain and hay interests also
appeared
Judge Cowan declared that the tonnage system,
hereby the railroads had attempted 10 make their
Locomotives and train perform an ext-aordi-
nary amount OF service, the bottom of the
failure TO give proper facilities He insisted that IL
WAS the financial heads of the railroads who have
hurt the corporations and not the people who fur
nish the business and pay the freight; not the
luckIess and innocent Etockhoder whom everybody
is anxious TO protect. He charged that these dnan
cial heads had injured the corporations by in
creasng the Indebtedness of the roads and directly
or indirectly pocketing the money. Now, want
20 help the railroad as corporation. but owe
no allegiance the railroad king who acts toward
the public as if he king indeed, he said
The Culberson-Sm bill gives to the Interstate
Commerce Commission wide latitude to provide
