near the corner of Garden street
when he met a Chinaman carrying a
rifle. AS Beddow approached, the
celestial pointed the gun at him as If
he intended to shoot BeddOw did not
like the performance at all and duck
ed behind woodpile. AS a result
white man and Chinaman described a
hurried circle around the woodpile,
Beddow believing the Chinaman had
designs on his life. 1t wa not until
afterwards that the plumber learned
! that the Chinaman was taking the
gun to a pawn shop and was merely
trying to play a friendly joke when
| he pointed the gun at him. The
ching is sad to have played the sam'
prank with j. r. Childreth, the black

standing Commissioner Prouty says
the commissioners are unable to state
that water competition does not have
any effect upon rates from Chicago
and st. Louis. l have always con-
tended there is no evidence of water
competition west of the Buffalo-Pitts-
burg line, and the commission holds
there is no such competition from
Chicago and St. Louis.
Hence, l am of the opinion that
an absolute long and short haul clause
provision from territory where there
is no water competition or no water
shipments of material consequence
would be legal, unless the carriers can
show that the reduction in rates would
result in the conflscation of the rail-
road property. This, | am confident,
the companies can not show"
