NInrshnlI to New York.

John Marshall, attorney for the board
of railroad commissioners, went to New
york TODAY to be present at the hearing
before the interstate commerce COM
mission OF the Galveston rate case. The
corornission recently granted a rehear
ing in this suit. The case was brought
nv Kansas shippers who maintained
that the freight rates to Kansas and
oklahoma points from New York should
he reduced when the shipments came by
sea from New York to Galveston ana
thence nv rail to Kansas points. The
rail and water rate from New York t.
Kansas is the same as the all rail rata
while it is much cheaper to haul goods
nv water. The railroads absorb the
difference in the rate by charging

LET MARBLE CONTRACT.
Memorial Building Men Are Before
the Commission.

the Commission.
The contract for the marble or
granite facing of the Memorial han
NAV be let this afternoon. The build
ing commission has been in session all
day and at o'clock this afternoon it
will open the bids OF the different
marble and granite companies. All
the morning and most of this after
noon was spent by the members of
the commission in viewing samples or
different marbles and granite and in
hearing the arguments of the repre-
sentatives of the five companies who
submitted bids and samples.
Companies with samples Of the
Georgia marbles, two different kinds
of Vermont marbles and a Colorado
marble and one Vermont granite com
pany were represented. The com
NAMES are all submitting two bids.
one bid is to furnish the marble and
put it into place and the other is to
simply furnish the stone and let the
state contractors do the work.
The commission will decide today
general construction work under the
old bids or to call for new ones.
I,eeper & Smith were the lowest bid
ders when the bids were opened a
year ago. But at that time it was de-
cided that there were not sufficient
funds available to erect the sort of
building the old soldiers desired as a
monument to them so the letting of
the contract was deferred until the
legislature met.
The foundation is completed and
the commission has $250,000 to COM
plete the superstructure. This will be
either of granite or marble, probably
either of Vermont or Georgia white
marble. The kind of marble and the
price will be decided this afternoon.
Much depends on the offers of the
marble companies as to whether or
not new bids for the general construc-
ton work will be asked for from the
Kansas construction companies that
want to erect the building.
