 EXPRESS RATES Railroad Commission Wants Agents to Understand the
 Company's Tariff
SESSION BUSY ONE
Protest Against Opening Car Doors at Large Stations, Suggest
 ed by Allen.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 7.-Consid- erable tme was spent ny the Ark ansas Railroad Commission ill It's monthly meeting Wednesday upon the question of simplifying the pres ent express rates of the state. The commission is endeaVor.ng to revise and simplify those rates so that the average express agent of the state will at least know as much about the company's tariff sheet as do the pat rons of the companies. The rates are now So confusing that it takes ! good mathematician to work out the rates between two points. The mat ter was finally continued until the February meeting when further time will be devoted to the question. which is as difficult as How Old is Ann?'' The petition for a new de- pot at Conway was continued until the January meeting, Conway not be- ing represented at the meeting. The petition for new depot at Haskell was dismissed, and the petition for a station agent at Birta met the same fate because the railroad company had complied without the necessity of action by the comm ssion. The prop os tion of Commissioner R. P, AL len 10 force the railroad companies to open all foa n doors at large sta tions or division points, met with a vigorous protest from the railroads. and even the tTainmen sent in a petit on ageinst such all order, de- claring it meant additional work for them. Judge Hemingway of the Iron Mountain; General Passenger Agent LeBeaume of the Cotton Belt :: Supt Murphy of the Iron Mountain; :; General Attorney Thomas Buzbee Of the Rock Island; all spoke against the proposed order and at the request of the "a lroads action was deferred for further consideration at the Jan uary meeting.
 The petition asking that the Iron Mountain be made defendant in a penalty suit for failing to erect d yiaduct at the crossing of Nineteentsi street in Little Rock by it's tracks as ordered by special act of the la legislature, was continued 60 days the railroad company showing it had ordered the steel and was merely awaiting ;ts arrival. The petition of citizens of Argenta for new freig'l depot on the Iron Mountain, wa continued at the request of Mayar w. c. Faucette of that town, Hnti, the January meeting.

ting Mail Facilities

-the-Bay has begun to
sit up and take notice. Indeed, it is
very wide awake, and that beautiful
summer residential resort on the Bay
Shore is rapidly filling up with cot
tagers.
The family of MIR. Amos Medford
have been occupying their cottage on
the beach at the Point for some
weeks. Mr.. and Mrs. Philander
Johnson have also been occupying
their cottage for some time. Mr..
Johnson is the editor of the column
Shooting Stars in the Washington

Mr.. and Mrs. Roland Childs have
moved into their attractive cottage
on the Beach. Yesterday the family
of Mr.. Arthur Lee Bosley, of Balti-
more, moved into their handsome cot
tage. and a week ago the family of
Mr.. f. C. Graham, of Washington,
began to occupy their attractive cot
tage.
Today the family of Mr.. James C.
Courts, Clerk to the Committee on
Appropriations at Congress, opened
their cottage for the summer and the
family of Mr.. Townsend, of Wash

OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
The Reno Prize Fight Given More Space
Than State News r. The Topic az
The Hour - A Blot On The Nation

/ Did it ever occur to You that n prize
fight is more important than Maryland
news? Just at this time in the Balti-
more dailies the prize fight to take
place fortnight hence at Reno. Ne.
vada, is given two and three columns.
when the Maryland State news is
crowded into two and a-haIf sticks"
set in agate type.
Oh yes, the one great, most import
ant issue of the day is the prize fight
that the Governor of California re
fused to permit there, but that will be
fought to n finish at the famous town
where any married man or woman
(mostly women) can get divorce on
the slightest preteXt, or no pretext
at all
1t is strange that humanity is bru-
tai and loves. aye, even adores brutal
ity. That is why football is more pop
ular with the masses than baseball
Even the children's chief topic of con
versation is the coming prize fight,
and they read every line of il i'm the
big daily papers, and ponder and talk
over it, devouring the news" -. This
is vitiated taste. 1t is developing
that brute force and instinct there is
in every human being-more or less.
Few men and boys will sleep on the
night of July 4. but will keep all
night vigil to hear the news Of the
prize fight, and yet this is sup
posed to be a civilized race. Rather
say race of barbarians and canni
balls A prize fight It's misnomer r.
That fight between a white man and
a negro on July 4, at Reno. New. is
to determine race force, race prowess.
race superiority in brawn if not in
brain, superiority in muscle and brute
force if not in common sense and
average intelligence. 1t is a disgrace
on the nation, blot and a scourge
on the fair name of the United States.
Whoever is knocked out, it is knock
out blow to decency and respecta-
bility. Soon we shall be encouraging
bull fights and cock-fghts.
Surely there is at least one State
that places no restriction upon any
thing Nevada. 1t should be marked
on our flag with a black star-not IA
white one, that indicates purity and
cleanliness.

Awards for four submarine boats
of about 460 tons each were decided
upon by Secretary of the Navy Meyer
yesterday.
One of the boats will be awarded to

Company. Owing to the present dis
tribution of submarines Secretary
Meyer is considering the question OF
having three of these boats construct
ed on the Pacific coast and the fourth
on the Atlantic coast.

were finally made in accordance with
recommendations of the engineer in
chief and the chief constructor, tax
ing into consideration the military
features involved in the different
types of submarines.
