WILL Be PR0BED
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION TO HOLD HEARING
AT RENO
Special to News and Tribune.

Special to News and
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. "a
What promises to be a very inter-
esting session of the interstate COM
merce commission is the hearing set
for 10 o'clock, Feb. 8, at Reno, New,
at the county court house, of COM
plant No. 1895, involving freight
rates to points on the TOnopah and
Goldfield railroad, the Las Vegas
and Tonopah railroad and the Bull
frog and Goldfield railroad. The
hearing will be before Examiner
Thurstell. Among the complaints
are the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company, the Goldfield Con-
solidated Milling and T~ransporta-
ton company, the Tonopah Belmont
Development company, the Tonopan
Extension Mining company. the
Goldfield Merger Mines company.
the Montana Tonopah Mines COM
pany and Hall, Luhrs and company.
The inquiry will go into the rea-
sons for the construction of these
lines and the cost Of them, the fIuc.-
uation of receipts, the division OF
rates and various other matters
which have a hearing on the rates
charged.
There are a few appointments
pending in Nevada concerning which
considerable interest is being mani
tested. One of these is the position
of assayer at the Carson mint. Sem
ators Newlands and Pittman will
try to reach an agreement within a
few days to who they shall rec
ommend for this office. The candi-
dates as far as known now are H.
r. Mighels, Ed Ryan and D. M.
Ryan. Neither senator has indicated
his choice for the place.
1t is on the program to nominate
at an early date J. Lester Denton
for postmaster at Caliente. both
senators having come to an agree
ment to unite in recommending him
for the office. He is a prominent
business man and son of John M.
Denton, now attached to the Indian
service.
Much competition has developed
over the postmastership at Ely. Ed
mOnd Hull, son of the late pOstmas-
ter at Ely, has been recommended
for appointment to fill out the I'M
expired term by G. P. Armand,
whose political influence may be
sufficient to have this course adpot-
ed. Mr.. Armand is himself a can
didate for appointment to the office
at the end of the present term.
Among the other candidates for the
postmastership at Ely are j. J.. Car
roll of McGill; A. J.. Carpenter and
Marion G. Shallenberger. 1t is
probable that Senators Newlands
and Pittman will unite on a recon-
mendation for this appointment with
in a few days.
Senator Pittman has already sent
to Nevada a considerable quantity
of government seeds for distribu-
ton. Senator Newlands is getting
out his annual list and he will be
pleased to add the names of any ap-
plicants for either flower or vege-
table seeds to his list as long as his
supply of seeds holds out.

Redman. was the cause of a fight in
Reno recently that resulted in the

by Luipi Garcia, the Mexican, who
welded the knife. Garcia who was
bound over for trial in the district
court, said that he drew his knife
only when the Indian followed him.

the fastest relay teams in the country
In Lehigh Up to now-Lehigh has made
perhaps the best time of any team in
Pennsylvania for the one mile relay.
Bernie Wefers and his Columbia ath-
letes have promised to enter this meet.
and 1t IL to be remembered that Wefers
was real athlete, and in his own spe-
cial distances had no equal.
Great local interest has been taken in
the Knights of Columbus. as the five
councils representing this city have
promised tO1send relay teams to fight
for the supremacy of the district. So
much interest has been taken that seats
a; the finish will be at premium.
Again a test case might be made at
this meet in relation to Ted Meredith, Of
Pennsylvania. as he has been invited to
run the $50. in which many prominent
athletes have entered.
The relay races between the local high
schools will bring out the best local tall
ont in the District, while all the prep
aratory schools have signified their in
tention of entering this big Southern
meet.
Conwell. Ward, Gormerly. OF George
town, promise to bring about many sur
prises in the shot put. as they are prac-
tiCally new men along these line, having
been developed by John O'Reilly.
1t Is a question as to who will repre-
sent Georgetown in their relay against
Lehigh. but Jones. Stebbins. Young.
Prescott, Weisser, and Golden are all
running in very good time. This team
cannot be decided until within two days
of the meet
