PUN IS LOST TO
CHARGES SOLES
RAILROADS SHOW NO INTEREST
AND STATE COMMISSION DIS-
MISSES THE CASE.
E
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 16.—The only mat-
ter of Importance considered in monthly
hearing today of the Railroad Commis-
sion was the proposed readjustment of
the rule governing tlie absorption of
switching charges, and this was dis-
missed, as the roads and others, appar-
ently, did not Interest themselves in
he half of any change.
EFFECT OF PROPOSAL,.
The effect of the proposed tehange
would have been to permit direct lines
or short routes to absorb switching
charges at destination where the ship-
ment was consigned to an industry on
the track of another railroad. Shippers
now have the privilege «>f routing their
fhipnients. A shipper at Manor, on the
Houston & Texas Central, might send a
car to Houston and route it via Brenham
hikI the Santa Fe because the destination
- In Houston would l*e on the track of the
Santa Fe. If thp car had been run to
Houston on the Houston & Texas Cen-
tral, he would have had to pay a switch-
ing charge, but by routing it via the
Santa Fe he pays the usual rate to
Houston and avoids the switching-
charge. But the Houston & Texas Cen-
tral lias lost the through haul and is
forced to divide its rate. The rule pro-
posed would have permitted the Houston
& Texas Central to take the ear to
Houston and pay the switching charge.
That would have been better than divid-
ing the rate, it is considered.
The railroads did not warm to the pro-
posal, giving several reasons, such as
discouraging the construction of addi-
tional industry tracks, etc. Their real
reason mentioned was that they feared
If such a rule was adopted the commis-
sion would not Increase the regular tariff
rates to an amount enough to reimburse
the lines for absorbing switching charges
by the wholesale.
The proposition to apply carload rating
on toys, crated, when not otherwise
specified, first-flaws in less than carloads
and Class A in carloads, was supported
by G. S. Maxwell of the Dallas Cham-
ber of Commerce freight bureau. Under
advisement.
The dispute over divisions on fuel oil
from Bay City to Brownsville via the
Galveston, llarrisburg San Antonio
and Blessing, was dismissed at the in-
stance of Manager Dunlap.
The concluding matter on the docket
was the proposition to apply coffee rates
on ground chicory, which met with gen-
rral opposition.

RULEVIOUTED 1.100 TIMES
State Railroad Commission Finds That
Missouri, Kunsas & Texas Trains
Are Often Late.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Ja. 16.—Chairman May-
field of the commission said tonight he
Is amazed at the reports just completed
in the commission office, as they show
that recently the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas Railroad Company had violated
the Commission's thirty minute rule
1,100 times. There is now pending a suit
against that, company for $100,000 for such
violations in 1910. f
Mr. May field said the violations have
been so numerous that as yet he has not
decided what will be done in the prem-
ises. He said that while the public is be-
ing inconvenienced by such train service,
given in Texas by several roads, tlie
roads siill answer they are doing the best
they ran, under all the circumstances.
The Commission wants to provide relief
for the traveling public, said Mr. May-
Held, and hopes to avoid harrassing the
lines, but improvement must be forth-
coming; rapidly.
Suits to recover penalties for the 1,100
violations wiil be filed by the Attorney
General if the Commission directs. 11
the maximum penalty of $5,000 is asked
in each instance, it would mean a total
of $5,500,000.

Attempt to Break Into Grand Foiled.
Thrilling Chase Then
Follows.
Detectives and police had a thrilling
chase after burglars who attemoted to
breuk into the Grand Opera House this
morning at 1:15 o'clock. Seven or eight
shots were fired at the floeing m n. Ten
or fifteen minutes later the policj de-
tained three men on South Alamo Street,
having jtressed into service the automobile
mail truck of The Express for this part of
the pursuit.
One of the meu in making his esc.ipe
plunged into the river, and was lost in the
bend In the rear of the Maverick Hotel.
The police believe that at least two of
the men who attempted to break Into the
opera house are some of the amateur
"yeggmen" who have been operating In
Sun Antonio and vicinity the last few
weeks.

There Is more fair weather In store for

forecasts are as good as some of the
dreams that come true. He hit It off In
good style yesterday in saying it would
be fair and warmer. It was considerably
ore like the tropics than on the preced-
ing day.
The maximum temperature of yesterday
was 71 degrees above and i lie mini mum wai
85 degrees, all of which brought, about an
average of r»."> degrees. The yearly average
Is 51 degrees, so the weather yesterday
was near enough to «vhat might be ex-
pected without causing alarm in any quar-
ter. Much of the day a brisk wind blew
through the town. The wind came out of
the southeast, and the maximum velocity
was fourteen miles an hour.
Out in the West there is an atmospheric
disturbance. This portends a change, and
s« me cloudy weather toward the end of
the week is not an impossibility.

TELEGRAPH BRIEFS
TO
EQUITABLE TRUST IS AFTER ITS
RIVAL ORGANIZATION.
President Krech Makes Offer of $375
Per Share for All Stock of Trust
Company of America—Ac-
ceptance Is Likely.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Alvln W. Kreeh,
president of the Equitable Trust Com-
pany, has submitted an offer to purrhase
all the stoek of the Trust Company of
America at $375 a share. President Oak-
lelgh Thorne of the Trust Company of
America said today the directors and such
stockholders as he had been able to see
favor the offer, which will be submit ed to
aU the stockholders.
The exact purpose of Mr. Krech's offer
Is not disclosed, but Wall Street as nines
It is made in the interest of the Equitable
Company.
The Trust Company of America wj-h
organized by Mr. Thorne and associates
In 1807. It was the center of much interest
In the panic of 11)07 and withstood a "rjin"
by its depositors which lasted for almost
a week.
The part played by the Trust Company
In that crisis led to the taking over by the
Steel Corporation of the stoek of the Ten-
nessee Coal and lion Company, which tne
trust company held as collateral.
The eaidtal stock of the Trust Company
of America is $2,000,000 with a surplus,
according to last year's report, of JpH.oon.-
000. Its deposits approximate' $30,000, with
assets In excess of $40,000,000.
The Equitable Trust Company was or-
ganized in 1002 and ban always been re-
garded as an offshoot of the Equitable
Jiife Assurance Society, with close Gould
and Harrlman connections. The capital Is
$3,000,000; surplus, $10,000,000; undivided
profits about $1,'J(K),000 mid deposits $3H.-
000,000. with total assets about $80,000,000.
The Equitable Trust Company was made
homeless by the Equitable building fire.
Should it acquire control of the Trust
Company of America, of which there seems
to be III He doubt, It probably will move
to the Trust Company of America's build
lug, one of the largest and most haiFI
somely appointed in the financial lis
trlct.
A so-called community of interest iris
existed between the Equitable nud Ame-i-
can companies for some time, There piob
ably will be a disposition In some quarters
to regard the acquisition »f the Trust «'oin-
pany of America by the Equitable as <
natural result of the recent consolidation
of a number of trust companies in which
the Morgan influence has been para-
mount.
The combine# deposits of the Trust Com-
pany of America and Equitable Trust j
Company aggregates $68,000,000.
