Franklin X. Lane, member of the
interstate commerce commission, has
sent out notices to traffic organiza-
tions, calling attention to the action
of the overland roads applying for a
temporary injunction before the COM
merce court at Washington in the
Reno and Phoenix cases. These cases
were decided by the commission some
time ago under the long and short
haul section of the interstate railway
law. The commerce court has set Oc-
tober II as the time for argument.
Should the commerce court grant
the application of the roads and issue
the injunction, the rates established
! by the commission will not go into
effect on November Is, as decreed.
In the Reno case, which is of as
much interest to Sacramento and San
Francisco, the commission abolished
the back haul and held that the ter
minal rate, even if affected by water
competition, should not be lower than
any interstate rate. 1t held that if
the terminal rate was lowered, the in
termediate rates should also be re-
duced

stantial in every particular.

euses him of having prejudiced her
mother against her, and with having

her to discriminate against her,
Mrs. Chastain was the daughter Of
Catharine Hunt Tilford, who died at

Dec. 18th last. About a year ago she

CAL SHILLING
EARNS $4,000
HE HAS TURNED DOWN MANY A
PRINCELY OFFER TO RIDE IN
ENGLAND IN ORDER TO STAY
WITH SAM c. HlLDRETH.

The following dispatch from New
York shows how a jockey made more
money than the president of the Unit
ed States which may be attributable
to the fact that the Jock rode gal
lopers while Taft rode an elephant:
Jockey Carroll Shilling probably
earned more money last year than any
other race rider in the world. The
young man in a recent interview said
he received nearly $4,000 for his ser
vices from various turfmen in 1910 of
which s. c. Hildreth alone paid him
$4,000. For riding Novelty to victory
in the Futurity at Saratoga Shilling
declared that Hildreth not only thanked
him for his great horsemanship, but
also made him a present of $1,000 in
cash. Shilling was suspended by the
Oakland stewards some time since for
failing to fill his contracts, but it was
subsequently discovered that the crack
Jockey was Ill and could do himself
Justice. He notified his contract en-
ployer. Adolph Spreckles, that he
needed q rest, and then left for his
hmoe in Paris, Texas. Before board
ing a train in San Francisco, Shilling
said:
At have a standing offer from Baron
Weinberg to ride for him in Germany
at a princely salary, and I have other
fine offers, too, but L intend to ride for
Sam Hildreth, no matter whether he
races in America or Europe. I would
rather ride for Hildreth than for any
man I know. The salary proposition
cuts no figure.

GOTHAM GOSSIP

New York, n. Y, January Is
Andrew Carnegie, who joined Colonel
Roosevelt in promulgating the simpli->
fed spelling propaganda, blames the
prejudices of the old fogies' con-
nected with the big institutions of the
country for the perpetuation of the
present confusing photography of the
nation. The Laird of Skibo Castle
sympathizes with the girl students
criticised for their use of phonetic
spelling. Tho rebuke administered to
the students brought forth statement
from the Iron Master. in which he
says:
These young ladies were no doubt
taught first that though was pros
nounced tho. with spelling in brackets
to give the pronunciation; physics,
pronounced fisiks: taught pronounced
taut, etc. Having become accustomed
to this natural way. no wonder it is
difhcult for them to spell these words
as they are still printed. They are
to be complimented upon this, and If
they continue their spelling as taut
to pronounce, they will soon improve
our language.
"a leading institution recently had
before it the adoption of simplified
spelling of it's reports, which are sent
out to other societies thruout the
world. Three of the directors, very
old but eminent men, were strongly
opposed thereto until they heard the
reasons for the change, when one said:
ooh. we admit you hav all the argu
ments and we have only our prejudices.
The resolution was carried.
When The Tale of Tub was
printed spite was printed 'spighte.'
We hav changed that We don't yet
spell bright brittle or slight
s-l-i-t-e, etc, tho we shall soon. The
useless CHS are at least doomed.
