COAT OF ARMS WAS WANTED
EnalIshmsn Assisted Out Of Dilemma
by Official Of Herslds' College
His One Achievement.

An Englishman applied to the Her
aids college for a Goa of arms. In
such a case 1t ia pleasant to be able
to borrow one from a celebrated an
cestor. The man in question could
not remember anything about his
great-grandparents, and therefore,
could not mention any achievement
by them which could be used as the
basis OF a coat of arms. But the of.
fetal to whom he applied was not
easily discouraged.
Have you not done something Jour,
self?' he asked.
Nothing, I fear" said the man,
adding as a pathetic antithesis that
once, having been locked in Dudgate
prison for debt, he had found means
to escape from an upper window.
And how did you get DOWN."
Il got a cord, fixed 1t around the

melts of the two great men were
somewhat similar in many respects.
Both attained marked distinction in
newspaper, political and diplomatic
circles. Both were plain, rugged.
everyday men, fearless in expression.
just in action, and courteous in ad-
dress. The father founded the Troy
Times and the son contributed to
its growth and power. The father
was a practical man and when
Charles s. Francis had graduated
with honors from Cornell University
In 1877, he placed his son at a case
in the Times Office. Eventually the
young man worked his way up
Through the various grades as com
positor, reporter, city editor and
manager. In 1887 his father made
him an equal partner and when the
founder died 10 years later the son
succeeded to the sole ownership OF
the paper.
Charles Spencer Francis was born
in Troy, N, Y, juno II. 1853, the
son of John Morgan Francis, and his
mother's maiden name was Miss
piarrlet n. luChGF. ne Was pre-
pared for his college course at the
Troy Academy. His diplomatic ca
treer began when he served three
years as secretary to his father
when the later was minister to
Greece and resided at Athens. From
1900 to 1902, he was envoy extraor-
binary and minister plenipotentiary
to Greece, Roumania and Servia. and
from 1902 to 1910 was ambassador
ito Austria-Hungary. Both of these
posts had been previously held by his
father. On two different occasions
he was elected regent Of the Uniyer-
atty of New York state and was a
valued adviser in the councils Of the
lof the Republican party.
While in college he ranked high as
an athlete in running and rowing, and
his two mile record, made on Sara
ltoga laks In 1876, when he won the in
Intercollegiate scull championship, has
never been equaled.
In 1878 Mr.. Francis married Miss
Alice Evans, daughter of the late Prof.
Evan Evans of Cornell university,
and she, with three daughters and two
sons, are the near surviving relatives.

SHIPPERS WIN BIG
VICTORY IN SUPREME
COURT OF TEXAS.

San Antonio. Tex, April THE
action OF the Texas Supreme Court
in sustaining the Galveston differ
entail rates made by the Texas rail-
road commission Is regarded by
business men and shippers in San
Antonio as victory also for this
city. The fight was between Hous-
ton and Galveston and as Houston Is
to Galveston so is San Antonio in
the same position. in many respects,
in relation to its seaport. The ac-
ton was begun in the Travis County
District Court by business interests
and shippers of Galveston, alleging
discrimination in the establishment
and maintenance of differential
rates. The district court sustained
the rates; the Third Court Of Civil
Appeals reversed the decision, hold
ing the differential gave Houston an
unfair commercial advantage over
Galveston and was onerous, burden
some on comm sree and discrimina-
tory. therefore Illegal The Supreme
Court refused. the application for a
writ of error, then granted the mo-
ton for rehearing of its refusal and
the writ OF error for the purpose of
hearing argument, Now, in an ex,
haustive and lengthy opinion writ
ten by Chief Justice Brown. the udg-
ment Of the Appellate Court is re-
yersed and that of the district court
affirmed. The substance OF the
opinion Is that the court can find
no discrimination In the record as
presented, and not finding any I'M
just discrimination. it cannot inter-
fece with any rate or regulation
made by the Railroad Commission.
A motion for rehearing can be
made, but it is not thought probable
the court will change its mind. Only
