II A. SMITH. travelling passenger
agent for the National Railways
of Mexico, ran into more trouble
few nights ago while out on trip
with George Nave, commercial agent
of the Chicago Northwestern. Nave in
formed every person he met that Smith
was a representative of the Chica go
White Sox and that he was searching
the west for material for next season. s
team.
Tommy did not know who started
1t, but he behaved like native of the
city of big feet. Between and IL
o'clock in the evening he signed up
20 star pitchers, three catchers and
four shortstops, but the sad part of
the tale is that Smith lost the ad-
dresses of all his players and can not
remember whether he gave them con-
tracts.
Lewis l.. Davis has been appointed
commercial agent of the Harrima n
lines, with office at Milwaukee.
The interstate commerce commission
Will be asked soon by the railroads for
an Interpretation of the long and short
haul clause of the new railroad rate
law. Revisions are being made of
their tariffs, which quote higher rates
for the short haul to be filed with the
commission before this section of the
new law goes into effect on August II.
1t is reported that Immediately after
that date the railroads will put in ap-
plications to make these rates perma-
nent According to the new law the
commission has no power to investi-
gate legally existing rates subject to
the long and short haul clause prior
to the expiration of six .months4 at the

commission will be called upon to pass
upon the justice of the same. The
larger number of such reviSions will
come from southern and western roads.
BY a regulation of the commission
supplements of not more than 25 per
cent of the original tariff can be fled.
Already most of these tariffs have been
supplemented to about this extent. The
object now is to combine the original
tariff with the supplements and file it
with the commission as the old origi-
nal tariff, thus leaving room for fur
ther supplements, and at the same time
having this remain as the legally ex-
listing rate, which the commission can
not order reduced for six months. Dur
ing the next four months the commits
sion will be concerned largely with
proposed advances in official classifica-
ton territory. Afterward the commits
sion will look into the long and short
haul question.

Let me take another example, also
from the speech Of Senator Crawford
steel rails, anthrac cite coal and cotA
ton seed oil. Steel rails have q pro-
tective duty: they are largely the prod
uct OF a single. great corporation. An
thracite coal is in the hands Of q ooni-
bination, but has been and Is now upon
the free list. Cotton seed oil is on
the free list and. so far as I know,
Is not In the hands OF any great COM
bination.
Nho Can solve Puzzle:
.Ta.Hng the wholesale prices OF these
articles in 1899 as 100, steel rails were
one-half a point lower In 1903 than
1900; anthracite advanced 30 points in
the Same time and cotton seed oil %.
Again I will leave IL to you to point
out the cause of the movement in h
prices of these three articles which is
common to all three.
