I.C.C. REFUSES TO
APPROVE PLAN TO
SAVE THE ORIENT
Dauidson's Proposal Would
Affect Other Roads and
Cause Confusion.

Washington, ID. C., Feb. 17.-The
Interstate Commerce Commission has
declined to give its approval to Lynch
Davidson's plan for saving the Orient
Railroad, holding that if the commits
sion had authority to grant remis.
sion from regulatory laws, such as
called for under the Davidson pro.
posal, other roads similarly situated
would make like demands, resulting
in much embarrassment and con
fusion. At the same time, the COM
mission does not flatly refuse 10 grant
an extension of the government loan
for twenty years without interest, in
consideration of guaranty of the
roads continued operation for ter
years. 1t is held, however, that tC
remit the interest on this loan would
be in the nature of a subsidy and q
question of policy which Congress
alone should determine.
At the same time, in a supple
mental communication from Commits
sioner b. ii. Meyer, the suggestion is
made that approval would be given to
bill authorizing the commission, in
its discretion, TO loan the Orient VI
to $3,000,000 if this were necessary
to insure continued operation and
such operation We're in the public
interest. Senator Sheppard accord

such a loan and will confer today Will

FINE RAINS BENEFIT
THE LAREDO SECTION
AFTER LONG DROUGHT
Heavy Precipitation Causes
Halt in City's Paving
Program.

Laredo. Tex. Feb. 1T.-LaredO has
been visited with the finest rains for
many months. 1t started to ram
Monday night and has been raining
internationally since that time.
On account of the constant rain,
the citys paving program is inter,
rupted and some of the underground
structure work will suffer on ac-
count of the streets being so badly
torn IN and not able TO carry the
water away. The rain came at a
most inOpportune time for some OF
the construction companies, particu-
larry the company putting in the
sewer system. All work is tempo
rarily stopped. The Western Union
management took advantage OF the
good weather of the past and rushed
their work to completion, being the
first to he ready for the permanent
paving. The Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone company have likewise COM
pleted underground construction. The
water company and the Border Gas
company have quite a bit of work to
do, and they have been unable to
do anything the past several days on
account of the continued rains.
In spite of the bad conditions OF
the streets, business and traffic seems
TO go right on without serious in
terruption and as a rule the populace
is not complaining but apparently
willing to bear the inconvenience Of
the present situation in order to
later on enjoy the benefits derived
from the paved streets. The city
engineer estimates that everything
will be ready and the pavement work
will start during April. The paving
contract was recently let to the
bitulithic people, which insures good
pavement.
Laredo has been shipping quite n
bit of spinach. The crop and mar
ket are both excellent. On account
OF, the rain the growers are now I'M
able to get into the fields to cut and
market the crop.
Stockmen are jubilant over the re-
cent rains, which have put a fine
season in the ground, insuring an
osrly crop Of grass and weeds, which
are needed because of the recent
drouth.

OKLAHOMA FREIGHT
RATE HEARING GOES
OVER UNTIL MONDAY
Shippers From Here Testi-
fy to Probable Results of
Change in Freight Rates.

Testimony of A. l.. Reed, Dallas
Chamber of Commerce, in the Okla
homa-Texas freight rate hearing was
not completed Saturday and he will
take the stand Monday morning. Ex-
aminer W. A. Disque said Saturday
that it did not believe all the testi-
mony of Texas shippers could be given
before Wednesday evening or possibly
Thursday morning.
Hearing in Galveston, at which Ar
kansas and Louisiana interests will
testify, will open February 26.
San Antonio shippers Friday tes-
titled to the part the Texas common
point adjustment played in building
up business IN this part of the state,
and pointed out the harmful effects
that would result from any radical
change in the present rate system.
The stand of shippers in San Antonio
and surrounding territory was summed
up Saturday in the testimony of U. s.
Pawkett, Of the San Antonio Freight
Bureau. and a defense made of the
Texas intra and interstate rates. In
his testimony, Mr.. Pawkett based his
defense of the present rate system upon
the allegation that an application of
straight mileage scale would make
it impossible for some of the roads OF
the state to do business without fourth
section relief. He questioned If. I'M
der existing conditions, the |. G.. c.
would be empowered TO grant this re-
lief Such roads as the I.-G. \. and
the X. c., NJ. & o., he said. would be
seriously handicapped that they would
have to go out of business unless relief
were given. Further, he stated that
the proposed changes in rates would
make it impossible for the roads from
the Gulf coast to compete in Oklahoms
trade, and for the roads from st. Louis
and defined territory to compete IL
Texas trade.
Mr.. Reeds testimony Saturday
dealt with the maximum mileage rat'
between points in Texas, which is be
| ing attacked by the Oklahoma com
mission. The maximum charge on Ger
tain commodities shipped within tn
| state is reached at distances between
100 and 200 miles, as for example, be
tween Galveston and Waco. The rat
on that same commodity between
Houston and Amarillo, a distance o.
approximately 700 miles is the same
he said. The Oklahoma commission
claims discrimination, because this
maximum rate does not apply wher
the goods are shipped across the STATE
line into Oklahoma. Mr.. Reed testi
fled to show, that il this rate were ap

cases over North Texas points OIL
goods shipped from st. Louis and de

the point that applying the mileag
rate and grading it out to 800 mile
would materially reduce the rate oil

UMPIRES WONDER IF
DANFORTH WILL TRY
"DOCTORING" AGAIN
Pitcher Who Led Arbiters
Dogs Life Back in
Major League.

st. Louis, Feb. IL. - Dave Dan
forth will again be a member of the
st. Louis pitching staff in the COM
ing campaign, for a time, at least.
Dave Danforth is the mystery man
of baseball, an eyesore to every Amer
lean League umpire.
American League umpires credit
Danforth with being able TO do more
tricks with a baseball than Willie
Hoppe can do with the worries. Ia
other words, Danforth. in the eyes
of Ban Johnson's staff, is always
trying to fool the umpires as well as
the batters.
Last year Danforth was suspended
for ten days on complaint Of UNI
pire Brick" Owens, who caught Dave
doctOring the ball, so it is alleged.
The incident not only caused Dan
forth to be suspended, but drove him
TO the minors. Sent to Tulsa, in the
Western League, he finished in fine
style
Danforth has been brought back
to the big show because the Browns
needed a southpaw. What will be his
fate?
Danforth has good speed, always
possessed it, and lately has deyel-
oped a fair curve and a good slow
ball. He really has enough stuff to
get BY without resorting to trick
cry, but Dave at times can't see 1t
that way.
Last season he pitched number
of games in which the umpires gave
him a clean bill of health, but he
was unable to stand prosperity and
| soon went back to his old ways.

GIBSON ADVOCATE OF
COLLEGE PLAYERS In
PROFESSIONAL BALL
"Gibby," Former Bear Fla.
uorite, Now Speaks as
College Coach.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 17.-Frank Glib
son, star catcher for the Boston
Braves, who is coaching the Univer-
sity of Texas freshman baseball team
here, is strong advocate of the col
lege man in baseball.
Il never had a chance to go to roll
lege when 1 was a kid" says Glib
son, but / figure that if l had l
would be drawing down a lot more
kale than l am now. / am learning
things now that will help me this
year in my playing and if / had had
4 chance to learn them before, il
would have been just that much bet
ter for me. Mr.. DiSch is the keen
est student of baseball l have ever
known; there seems to be nothing
about the game he doesn't know and
the tips he gives these fellows here
ought to be worth money to them il
they ever go into the game profes-
sionally."
Gibson was secured as freshman
coach at Texas this spring because
of the large number of men reporting
at the beginning of the training sea.
son. He will leave in time to meet
his Boston teammates when they come
south to begin their training season,
He says he likes the work here fine
and hopes to do more of it in the
future. He claims to be in better
shape than ever before for this time
OF the year and says he is ready to
step right out onto the field and
get down to hard work.
Il sure did get a jump on the rest
of the outfit when I took on this
job" he said. "When the rest OF
the bunch come south and we ge;
down to work all l will have to do
is to get my batting eye into shane
and I'll be ready to go. From the
way i feel now this ought to be my
big year."
When asked as to what he thought
was the greatest difference between
college ball and professional ball. Glib.
son thought minute and then re,
piled:
The biggest difference 7 can sec
is the difference in the importance OF
the pitchers. In the majors the
pitcher is just one of the ball PLAYERS
Of course. he is the most important
man in the lineup and all that. but
down here it seems that he is tho
whole show. 1t seems to me that YOU
put too much work on him and ex,
pect too much of him."

Lajoie Holds Record
Which Stick Singers
of Today Can't Beet

The books show that there are
some baseball records the slugging
demons of the major leagues to-
day have not yet been able to
lower, although these marks are
very, very few.
Larry NAP" Lajoie holds one
that Sisler, Cobb, Hornsby and
company haven't been able to
smash, despite the fact these three
and a number of other stars of to-
day are considered better hitters
than LaJoie was, and have piled
up far taller averages.
Lajoie went over 400 in batting
one year in his long career, 1901.
Fifteen years he hit over 800. His
lone 400 average was only .405.
But here's what Lajoie did in
that year that nobody else has
done. He never dropped below 400
from the first day of the season
TO the last. That's consistent bat
ting and rather refutes the average
ball players theory that every bats
man must have slump or two
during a season.
