THE SAN ANTONIO DAILY EXPRESS: FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1908.
OIL RATES ARE
INQUIRED INTO
BV COMMISSION
Evidence Is Adduced in New 0r<
leans Hearing as to Louisi-
ana and Texas Kates.
JUDGE PROLTY SAYS
STANDARD FIXES RATE
NEW ORLEANS, La., Juno 28.—Testi-
mony on nil freight rates was taken to-
day by the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission. Ail the witnesses were inde-
pendent oil dealers.
A book on oil tariff rates issued by the
Southern Railway was put into evidence.
W. O. Hudson, a former employe of the
Standard Oil Company, testified that
every rate published in the book is be-
tween Standard Oil stations.
Martin V. Carey of Buffalo, represent-
ing: the Standard, pointed out a proviso
in this book that rates will be made to
any station when proper facilities for un-
loading are furnished.
Commissioner Prouty, replying, said: "I
understand that proper facilities for un-
loading mean storage tanks and that
small dealers cannot build such tanks."
Case of Competition
Headed Off by Standard.
Mr. Hudson, who is manager of the
Marine Oil Company (Limited) of this
city, testified that Woodward, Wight &
Co., New Orleans, five years ago. when
about to enter the oil business, accepted
$30,000 from the Standard Oil < 'ompany
for which they gave contract agreeing not
to sell oil for five years. This contract
terminates next Saturday, witness said.
Mr. Hudson said that several years ago,
when he was a Standard Oil employe, the
Re,j C Oil Company of Baltimore, Md .
shipped a car of oil to Pelzer, S. C. He.
was ordered to proceed immediately to
Pelzer, where lie tried to have the oil
condemned as under the standard.
in "this attempt he failed and C. T. Col-
lins of Cincinnati, then vice president
and general manager of the Standard Oil
refining department, ordered him not to
cut prices of oil at. Pelzer its witness had
expected to do. The following month the
Standard Oil Company hired the Red C
Oil Company's agent at Pelzer. and, the
witness said, secured the business.
Railroad Agents
Also Serve Standard.
T. J. Gay, manager of the Gay Oil Com-
pany, of Little Rock, Ark., said that it
has been a common practice among
Arkansas railroads for tin- railroad agents
to be also agents of the Waters Pierce
Oil Company. He said the St. Louis,
Iron Mountain Ai- Southern road had one
such agent. Oil shipments to Texas, Kan-
sas, Mississippi and Indian Territory were
also Inquired into.
James W. Wise, manager of the Wise
Oil Company, of Shreveport, La., testi-
fied that lie has paid 15 cents per hundred
for shipping oil from Shreveport to Robe-
line, La n th" Texas Pacific, a dis-
tance of seventy miles, while the rate
was 27 cents per hundred for a forty-mile
haul from Shreveport to Mansfield, La.,
a station on the Texas & Pacific between
Shreveport and Robeline.
F. J. Freeman, general solicitor of the
Texas & Pacific, told the Commission
that if these rates existed they must have
been fixed by the Louisiana. Commission.
Mr. Wise said that he paid HI cents per
hundred for a haul of ten miles from
Shreveport to Bodeau, on the Vicksburg,
Shreveport & Pacific line.
Mr. Wise said the rate to Mansfield had
been 15 cents, but was raised to L'7 cents
about two months ago, about the time

nently cured of dandruff, and to stop
falling hair. Newbro's Herpicide will
positively destroy that germ, so that there
can be no more dandruff, and so that the

when t he Waters Pierce Oil Company
erected an oil tank at Mansfield, lie tes-
tified that he paid 75 cents per hundred
for transporting oil from Shreveport, La.,
to Marshall, Tex., while the rate from
Marshall to Shreveport was 15 cents, lie
said the Waters Pierce Company has a
distributing station at Marshall.
The witness also said be is not a re-
finer and that whenever his supply of oil
became low the Waters Pierce Oil Com-
pany raised the price at which they'would
sell refined oil to him, while their price
was lower when he was well supplied
with oil. The Southwestern Oil Company,
another competitor, the witness said, also
raised the pi ice of oil a t the same date-
as the Waters Pierce, leading the witness
to believe this was a combination be-
tween these two companies.
Mr. Wise said recently J. F. Battle,
agent for the Texas & Pacific at Shreve-
port, told an employe of the witness that
he would drive off the railroad station
platform any employe or agent of the
witness' competitors whom he found ex-
amining shipping tags on Mr. Wise's oil.
F. J. Freeman, in explaining the rate
of 45'/a cents, which Mr. Wise said he
paid for oil transportation from Findlay.
Ohio, to Shreveport. said that the Mis-
sissippi River was a large factor in fix-
ing the rail rate.
Standard
Fixes the Oil Rates.
"It has been the Commission's experi-
ence," replied Commissioner Prouty, "that
the Standard Oil Company fixes rates on
oil and not the Mississippi River."
Thomas C. Anderson, manager of tlie
R. cord Oil Refining Company, who was
the next witness, said that ten years ago
lie was a stockholder in the Petit Oil
Company, then the only competitor of
the Standard in Ixmisiana. The Standard
bought out the Petit company, the wit-
ness said, for $6().0C0 and then raising the
price of oil 1 cent a gallon at a time,
got back the $60,000 in added profits in two
months.
A discussion over that section of Com-
missioner Garfield's report which said
that the rate published with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission for oil ship-
ments. between Chicago and East St.
Louis was 18 cents, while there was an-
other rate of (y cents not generally known,
arose between Mr. Prouty anA Martin
Carey of Buffalo, representing the Stand-
ard Oil Company. Mr. Prouty asked
whether the six-cent rate from Chicago
to East St. Louis was filed with the Com-
mission. Mr. Carey replied that he did
not know whether this rate had been
filed, but said that the fact that it had
been applied for was practically equiva-
lent to filing since it would enable ship-
pers to learn of the low rate.

Insurance Companies Take Action
Regarding San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, CaL June 28.—The
first step was taken yesterday by the
insurance companies to adjust the losses

estates by the fire in this city.
A loss committee was appointed by
the companies at the instance of the
committee of fUteen of the executive
body of fire underwriters which urged
that reports be made as soon as pos-
sible. These committees will consider
and report all facts necessary for prompt
and full consideration of the sound value
of the properties before the fire, the
earthquake damage, if any, loss by fire
and all otBcr factors that count in de-
termining what sums are due to the Im-
portant financial interests represented in
these instances. The financial center of
the city is thus reached by the insurance
companies.

WOULD BETTR
INTERNATIONAL
FACILITIES
Representative Traffic Men Held
Meeting at Menger Ho-
tel Yesterday.
CALLED BY C. W. K0LNS
OF SANTA FE SYSTEM
The matter of acquiring better trans-
portation facilities betv (en Texas and
Mexico, particularly in regard to vhc ex-
change of cars from one road to another
en route either to or from points in the
Republic, was briefly discussed here yes-
terday by passenger and general trans-
portation men representing a large num-
ber of railway companies that engage in
Mexican traffic.
The meeting was not attended by as
large a representation from the respective
roads as was expected or desired and was
adjourned indefinitely owing to the
meager delegation without fully going in-
to the subject. The meeting was in pur-
suance of a call issued by C. W. Kouns
of Chicago, in charge of the transporta-
tion affairs of the Santa Fe system.
The increased demands on passenger
and freight service between Texas and
Mexico is possibly the direct cause for
the contemplated betterment of the trans-
portation facilities over the various roads.
In lal* years the railroad business be-
tween x'exas and Mexico has advanced
with vpid strides, which necessitates sim-
ilar action on the part of the railroad
men to cope satisfactorily with the heavy
traffic.
It is believed that at the next confer-
ence, which may be called later in the
year, the discussion and arrangements
made concerning this matter of interna-
tional railroad service will result in ma-
terial benefit to all the roads interested.
The question is one of vital importance
to the railroads and their patrons, and if
agitated ht once, it was thought a com-
paratively perfect system of exchanging
cars billed through in either direction
can be acquired with little delay.
Among those who attended the confer-
ence vesterday were: C. Ludolph of Dal-
las. Texas & Pacific; P. A. Ballard of
Eagle Pass. Galveston. Harrisburg & San
Antonio; Tom George of Eagle Pass, Gal-
veston. Harrisburg &* San Antonio; W. S.
Iloskins of Houston. Sunset; IX B. Keiser

ton, Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe; J. W.

cago, Santa Fe.

COLQUITT IS BUSY RUNNING.
> But the Progress Made by the Com-
mission Is All Backward—He
Has Won Last Place.
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
Al'STlN, Tex., June 27. O. B. Colquitt
is devoting practically all of his time to
the political campaign, notwithstanding
tho fact that he won his contest with
Monta Moore for fourth place.
He made a hard fight for that position
and through the assistance of Judge Bell,
who had a round with the two tail-enders
at Moody a few weeks ago, Mr. Moore
withdrew from the race. This left Mr.
Colquitt a clear field for fourth place, and
the people of the State who are taking
any interest in the present political
game that Is being waged between Col-
onel Campbell 'and Judge Bell are won-
dering why Mr. Colquitt is still con-
tinuing his travels over the State when
he has got all the honor out of the con-
test that he is going to get.
Mr. Colquitt's sympathizers say that
instead of him belaying Judge Bell ill
his speeches he should offer up thanks
to him for helping him get Mr. Moore out
of the race so he could have the dis-
tinction of winning the booby prize.
It should be stated in all fairness and
truthfulness that both Colonel Campbell
and Judge Bell have been developing
strength in different parts of the State
during the pant two or three weeks.
What little strength Mr. Colquitt origi-
nally had is rapidly going over to Bel!
and Campbell. Judge Brooks seems to
be holding hip own and it is not unlikely
that lie has gained strength in some lo-
calities and that it is Colonel Campbell
who has been the loser.
The farmers' vote is flocking to Judge
Hell. This is the report which comes
from all parts of the State, ft is stated
that not only will lie get the vote of
three-fourths of the farmers, but he will
receive the unanimous support of the
stockmen. The fact is remembered that
Judge Rell was Jn his younger days a
practical farmer. He also rode the range
as a cowboy and can still throw the rope
with a dexterous hand.

Remarkable Series of Casualties Oc-
cur in Crockett County.
OZONA, Tex., June 28.—Pierce Buck
was painfully burned about the face,
hands and arms by an acid solution with
which he was doctoring a sick yearling.
The. animal kicked the vessel containing
the mixture and it flow all over the
young man. The skin was blistered
wherever ;t touched and his clothing was
ruined.
Today at noon the 2-year-old boy of
Thomas Casbeer, a local merchant, fell
against the jagged corner of a trunk and
cut a fearful gash in his forehead. A
phjsician was hastily summoned and the
child is resting easy now and out of
danger.
Rev. A. R. Watson, pastor of the Bap-
tist Church, was badly hurt by the kick
of a mare. The animal's hoofs struck
both of the clergyman's legs in front,
just above the knees, making serious and
painful bruises which are attended with
swelling and discoloration. If the mare's
hoofs had struck either higher or lower
the result would undoubtedly have been
broken bones or yet more serious injury.
There have been an extraordinary num-
ber of accidents in and about Ozona dur-
ing the past month.

The body of II. R. McGreggor. who was
drowned in the natatorium at Electric
Park Wednesday night, was shipped to
Kansas City last night, where it will he
taken in charge by the parents of the
young man.
The movement inaugurated by the
Humane Society looking towards the es-
tablishment and maintenacc of an in-
dustrial school for the children of the
poorer classes in San Antonio, received
an impetus last night at the meeting of
a large number of representative citi-
zens.
The sentiment of the meeting was
decidedly in favor of the project, which
received the unqualified endorsement, in-
dividually and collectively, of those in
attendance.
Speeches were made by Judge R. B.
Green, Chaplain Dickson of Fort Sam
Houston, Miss Moore, secretary of the
I'nited Charities, and Bishop Johnston of
this Episcopal diocese. The speakers
urged the vital need of such an insti-
tution. showing the many evil effects to
society that result from the lack of
training and discipline of tlie children of
the poorer classes of any city. By tak-
ing this youthful clement, which in
many instances is beyond the control
of their parents, who ar? compelled to
leave them alone while earning a liveli-
hood, through a schooling of several years
along industrial lines, able-bodied and
skilled workmen could be produced from
a class that s now a menace to society.
The meeting authorized the appoint-
ment of a committee of four instructed
to act in conjuction wit'i a committee
of three from the Humane Society in
preparing the method of procedure in the
effort to attain the end sought. This
committee will he appointed probably
today by Dr. B. F. Klngslev, Col. George
LeRoy Brown and Rev. A. \V. Garden.
In connection with the Industrial school
for children of the poorer classes the
Humane Society also purposes to main-
tain a department for the support of
the babies that fall into the society's
hands and for which homes are hard to
find.
The society is constantly looking after
these infants iliat come under its notice
and seeks to .ind homes for them. They
are too small ;o be placed in the orphan
asylums, and the question of homes is
of urgent Importance.
INSPECTORS ARE MUZZLED.
Board of Health Will Give Out Such
News as Will Not Shock the
People—Fear Discredited.
At a meeting of the Board of Health
last evening the need of keeping cesspools
and outhouses in a more sanitary condi-
tion was discussed at length, with tho
conclusion that those not kept sanitary
must be promptly declared a nuisance
and the owners fined.
In order to further this work of inspec-
tion a map of the city will be made show-
ing the location of every cesspool. It is
said houses are sometimes built over
these holes without the pool being well
covered, and this creates malaria.
In speaking of the fact that the Mayor
and several Aldermen have been opposed
to news of inspection being given to the
press Dr. Barnitz made the statement
that hereafter the news will come
through the heads of the department and
not direct from the inspectors.
The board, he said, is discredited
when it does anything that creates a sen-
sation. no matter how much good the sen-
sational act did. The physicians ex-
pressed their appreciation of the support
of the press. Dr. Barnitz. president, said
it is an educational campaign for clean-
liness that they are waging and they
cannot win unless the majority of the cit-
izens are actively supporting them.
On hearing that the office of City Bac-
teriologist had been abolished the board
appointed Dr. R. E. Moss to ask Mayor
Callaghan for an appropriation to em-
ploy a specialist when it is necessary.
The board expressed the intention of sta-
tioning men throughout the city soon to
hold up milkmen and examine a sample
of their milk.
NEED MORE MONEY.
Will Take $4500 to Complete Travis
Street Fire Station.
With a balance of about eight hundred
dollars In the fund for building the new
central fire station on Travis Street it
has been found the building cannot be
properly completed for less than $4500.
The Finance Committee of the City Coun-
cil declares its determination to have a
well-equipped central fire station, how-
ever, and the extra appropriation will bo
made. The extra money is for floors,
lockers, host- racks and stalls.
Fire Chief Phil Wright has announced
to the committee that any work which
does not require skilled laborers will be
done by his men. He hopes to save the
city a few hundred dollars by this plan.
Chairman Mauermann of the Finance
