farm Wednesday. Thla road and the
seven mllea ef road owned by W. T. Eld'

; agar of the Imperial Sugar Company and
president of the Sugarland Railroad has

tildce deoland that If the State would
'furniah the labor ha would furnish the
material to rebuild the seven miles of road
owned by him .chat runs from Ramsey
State farm to Anchor the operation of
c which would save the State considerable
' money transmitting the Ramsey farm
cane to the State's sugar mill at Clemens'

Kr. BMrtdge scored the Prison Cora-
' mlaetoaera In a speech at Sugarland late
today declaring that by repudiating the
contracts be had made with the ayatent
" In good faith they had nearly bankrupted
htm; and he also charged them with
squandering the people's money in their
conduct of the business of the penlten-
tlary system.
The oommlttee proceeded to Hartem
' State farm late Wednesday afternoon
and will remain aP Harlem tonight tak-
ing up the Inspection of the State farm

moat valuable farms In the system was
the statement made the committee by
JTr. Kldridge when the Inspection train
on the Sugarland Railroad arrived t the
headquarters of the farm. He declared
the farm properly Tes
table gold mine and he said that either
the prison commission had never taken
advantage of the opportunities offered
by the farm or "they (fid not know how."
The train was ordered to pull down about
a mile on the tracks of the seven mUea
of road Mr. Kldridge purchased froni the
State which runs from R""? -8f5
farm to Anchor. It has been stated that

road was not operated during mi and

said to the committee: '1 bought this
road from the State because I believed I

ent Prison Commission exercising an op-

IWf;Tou gentlemen of the committee have
heard that because this ven miles of

ing the seven miles of railroad under lls
contraot waq oonoerh'ed it would cost the
State more money to ship Ramsey farm
cane to Clemens that way than If would
to ship around via the International and
Great Northern. He then aald: "If the
Prison Commissioners really want a rail-
road from Ramsey farm to Anchor over
this' seven' miles I will make them an
offer In the premises- and the ' offer 1
make now I will put In writing to them.
I will do thla: I will put thla seven miles
of. railroad in' good condition furnishing
all the material necessary. If the Prison
Commission will furnish the labor to do
the work.. And when the road -Is In good
condition I will place It ander the Juris-
diction of the Bute Railroad Commission.
I submit that the freight that .can be
saved the Prison Commlsskm on the cane
they will ship this year to Clemens farm
over . thla road .under 'such jurisdiction
will offset the ooet of labor they will put
oq. .the road." - 4. j. i
Freialit Rate QuMtlen. 'y-'
' Right here the question of "the freight-
rates 'on cane -from the Ramsey farm
or Otey Station to ' Braaorla or .the
Bute's Sugar mill at Clemens enters.
Mr. Bldridge submits that to haul cane
over his seven miles of road from Ram-
sey to Anoner delivering at. Anchor to
connecting lines will under hie contract
Anat 1ha nriann eommlaalon a total rate Of
tic per ton. According to his offer to put
the road In shape for operation and oper-
ate it under the Jurisdiction of the Bute
Railroad Commission the rate would be
decreased to 44 cents the ton which will
mean according to these rates a saving
of 48 cents the ton to the prison com-
mission if the Eldrldge offer la accepted.
The lowest rate via the International
and Great Northern and connecting lines
for this oane Is U cents the ton. Thla
last named sate la cheaper than the Eld-
ridge contract rate by U cents the ten.
Senator Willacy developed the fact that
the Missouri. Kansas . and Texaa Road
may seek an extension of the newly pur-
chased Veiaseo branch -of their system'
via Sugarland Railroad and Mr. Eldrldge'e
seven miles of road. The Senator asked
Mr. Eldrldge what benefits he (Eldrldge)
anticipated by rebuilding the seven miles
of road as per hia offer.
.The reply was that very little benefit
was anticipated "unless we can form a
ooanectlon with the Mfssouri.. Kansas
and Texas' Road at Anchor (the Velaaoo
purchase) ' and give the Katy - trackage
over the SugarlandJ Road via the con-
necting seven mllea link under discus
sion. . ' J ..... ..v
It was stated that this would permit
the Katy to operate through to Freeport
from Sugarland and .from Sugarland to
the Katy s own tracks running In the lati-
tude of Fulahear la but some le or II
miles. Prom ' Sugarland to Veiaseo or
Freeport it la but S4 miles and this M
la through the famous Brasoa bottoms
unequalled agricultural lands that are
capable of great development
Taking Mr. Eldrldge a sUtement con-
cerning the "posalbillty" of arranging a
.trackage agreement with the Katy it re-
quires no vivid Imagination to see a short
haul to a deep water port- for the Katy
through" country that is rich In prom-
ises of - early and successful development
and which la' already under considerable
cultivation.
Mr. Eldrldl also lnTormed the commtl-
tee that there waa no. money to be made
by a railroad hauling cane unless the road
got the hauling of- the manufactured
cane product too. ' He also emphatically
denied that the Priaon Commission waa
ever forced to sell cane to the Imperial
Sugar Company's mlU at Sugarland at a
inaa because there waa no -. .adequate
transportation .facilities. v .
' V Committee et eugeHand.
; At Sugarland in the early afternoon the
' eommlttee waa welcomed by a large del
egation of tenants ana employee 01 ine
Imperial Sugar Company. Despite a
shower of rain the crowd ' Insisted on
some speeches braving the elements to
hear the Impromptu addresses. Mr. Kl-
dridge led off. He scored . the Prison
Commission. "But tor the backing ef L
H. Kempner of Galveston I would have
been ruined by the present Prison Com-
mtelon who repudiated the contracts
made by me with the SUte In good faith."
: he aald. "They left me without a tenant
in January iu; iney reiuea id ra nv
lands but rented lands of Inferior qual-
ity and they have squandered the money
of the people of Texas In their oonduot
of penal affairs."
Mr. Eldrldge spoke with much feeling.
Colonel Woltera who presented the vis-
itors. Introduced lieutenant Governor
Mayes who told the people - assembled
what the committee was trying to do.
Senator John G. Willacy and Repreeenta-
tlves TtUotaon Dtffle and Humphreys all
members of the committee made short
talks complimenting the people assem-
bled on their prosperous appearance and
the splendid condition of the crope the
eommlttee had noticed during the fore-
noon. . Senator L. H. Bailey of Houston
also presented his compliments to the au-
dience. -
Following the speeches the party ad-
tourned to Mr. Eldridge's home where
they were served an elegant lunch.

tb second pectal aesslen of 10A. em-
powering the Railroad Commission to or-
der union depot eonstruoted where.'.m
iU judgment the publW Interest would be
served was upheld. today In the Third
Court of Clvlf Appeals hi what U known
as the Hllieooro esse; V- - U
- The style of the suit was the State W
Texas vs. the- St. Louis Southwestern
Railway Company et a) and was brought
to test- the constitutionality of the ct.
The ease waa tried In Travis County and
Judgment waa awarded the railroads o
the ground that it waa an unreasonable
order and conferred power upon the Rail-
road Commission not authorised by toe
constitution. The Court of Appeals affirm;
the Judgment In part and reverses and
renders In part. - It affirms the Judgment
of the lower court with referenee to
penalties in that It Is held that the
railroad companies were not wilfully and
maliciously violating the commission or-
der for a union depot.' But as to the main
point.' the Judgment is reversed -and . ren-
dered in favor of the State. Sustaining
the union depot act and. the commission s
order thereunder.. - ' - v -
In this case -the Railroad Com mission
entered an order requiring the Missouri.
Kansas and Texas and Cotton Belt and
the Trinity and Brasoa Valley Railway
Companies to construct-a union depot
at Hlllsboro on a site belonging to the
Missouri Kansas and Texas. . The other
' two lines objected to the order: first be
cause the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
did five times-aa much business as both
the others combined: and second because
the site qn which they Were ordered to
build the depot -was heavily mortgaged
by the Missouri." Kansas and-Texas and
could be foreclosed by the bondholders
thus depriving the "Cotton Belt snd Trin-
ity and Brasoa Valley of valuable rights.
The court held that this was t matter
that could be adjusted through condem-
nation proceedings. If . necessary 4he
bondholders beins made Parties . thereto
and all rights preserved.. . - .
Tne -oourt expresses no soudi aa 10 in.
constitutionality of the act and says If
It entertained any 'doubt.- It would - re-
solve1 It id favor.-of the law as the nulli-
fication of law .by .the courts should be
done with great caution especially rn
matters pertaining to governmental poll-
des - .-.-
Motion for 1 rehearing will f be- filed ' and
If refused a petition for writ of error- to
the" supreme Court will be sued Out and
the entire matter - threshed out there.
Should - the Supreme - Court affirm the
decision of the Court of Civil Appeals
the-several -union- depots- ordered con-
structed by the . .Railroad .Commission
win have' to be built unless the roads can
prove In each Instance that the require-
ments are unjust sad unreasonable.

While the proceedings in me naruiwu
assembly-were -etsssed s "routine busi-
ness" several features of the days work
developed points of unusual Interest Of
primary importance waa- ms aop"a w

aaraonal annual te sinners to aoeept

; Another .Important . matter ; was th
adoption of recommendation em bed led in
the report of the standing committee on
publication sad Sunday achool work. Th
plan "for ''publishing v and syndicating
graded lessons was approved by the eom-
mlttee with - the recommendation . that
beginners' primary and Junior lessons be
simplified and . brought . Into harmony
with Presbyterian doctrine' and that In
the Use 01 extra xtioie leesous xne amine
suggestion be followed. As the report of
the special committee on graded Sunday
school lessons is yet to be received there
may be fight to abolish these lessons
entirely. . --i . :- '
Another : matter or tntereex' warn mm
adoption by -the Northern assembly of
the recoBrmendatlon of the executive
committee that the church erection board

Perhaps the most Important action
taken by the Southern assembly today
was that Uking from the executive eom-
mission ef the church the power of loot-
ing field and other secretaries and restor-
ing this to th general assembly. Thl
action was taken-upon overtures of the
Wilmington (Del.) Presbytery and makes
election of such- secretaries a matter of
opular vote tne executive- commission
aving power to place the names of can
didates In nomination. ' .
Rev. D. M. Fraser. gtaunton. vs. enarr-
man of the committee on foreign - mis
sions reported that beginning with a de-
ficit of fMM.SM the oommlttee had re-
ceived contributions of J1M and now
has 17777 in the treasury. The oonsia-.
e ration of the withdrawal from the Fed-
eral Council of Churches . of Christ In
America eras postponed.
Decision - to erect a sto.ovo - cnuren in
Washington to be known as the "Memo-
rial Church" : for- the purpoee ef looking
after the Interests of the United Presby
terian Church' in National amirs was
another Important step taken today. It
Is proposed to raise money for the con-
struction of this church through congre-
gational subscriptions of ttt or more.
. Drestio action waa lagen xoosy oy -tne
Southern Assembly In rescinding the or-
der of a former assembly which vested in
the -executive oommlttee of the church
the power of electing -field and other
secreteries. - Today's .action resulted
from overtures toy the Wilmington (Del.)

om mended by the committee on bills and

day's action the power of electing th
