'Hackenschmidt came to this coun-
try for the purpose of meeting Gotch.
But when he got here we found that
Gotch had definitely retired. So we
did not bother him in any way, never
once issuing a challenge to him in
any way. We recognized his right to
retire if he saw fit.
Later however, he decided to re-
enter the game and started at once on
a campaign that was chiefly a matter
of villification of Hackenschmidt and
me. Still we kept still and let Frank
have his own say and his own way.
Now, for retired champion.
Gotch is about as busy man as
ever heard of. He is working every
minute but if he feels that he needs
some training for a match with Hack
enschmidt I am prepared to sign ar
ticles of agreement right now and

WILL BOW TO THEIR WILL.
Western Roads VIII Not Contest Com
merce Commission Ruling.

Chicago, March 4.-The railroads
running west of Chicago have decided
definitely to bow to the will of the
interstate commerce commission and
to accept without an attempt to ap-
peal its decision denying them gem
eral advance in freight rates.
All thought of possible attempt to
contest the case further by seeking a
review by the new commerce court was
laid aside at a meeting of the executive
and freight traffic officers of the roads.
At a continuation of the previous
days conference it was decided to ac-
cept the decision as final and to file
cancellations of the tariffs containing
the proposed advances with the inter-
state commerce commission at Wash
.ington on Monday. This will be four
days in advance of the date set by the
commission in requesting the with
drawal of the tariffs by March 10 as

From inquiries we have received"
said Mr.. Fort, I'VE expect a record
volume of traffic to be moved this year.
The Union Pacific is making plans for
an unusually heavy business. Out of
Kansas City we have provided addi-
tionaI tourist service. In Omaha,
where we will move a heavy business
over the main line. we have decided
upon something new, and which I be-
Iieve will prove popular. We will run
special through trains, composed en-
tirely of tourist equipment, which will
run on certain days and carry only
colonists. These trains will stop only
at division centers, and will beat our
regular schedule to the coast by eight
hours. Special dining service will be
provided a'So."
