eau against the various railroads centering-
in this city, charging them -with
maintaining arbitrary, oppressive and
exceptional transportation rates, both in

Jobbers of the lnter-Mountaln region,
bejran today.
Of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion there were present Charles W.
Prouty and E. E. Clark. Among the rail-
roads represented by counsel and high
officials are the Harrlman lines, Denver
. &. Rio Grande. Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy; Chicago & Northwestern; Chi
cago. Rock Island & Pacific and Missouri
Pacific. The Merchants Exchange of
San Francisco ' was also represented by
counsel.
Testimony for All Cases.
Considerable interest attaches to the
hearing for the reason that much of the
testimony adduced will be used largely
in the decision of all fraight rate cases
originating in the tVest. Water competi
tion and the long and short haul ques
tion will be the main factors In the hear
ing. The principal witness at today's session
was J. A. Munroe, general traffic man
ager of the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany, at Omaha.
Water competition, said Mr. Munroe.
governed the matter of rates to a great
extent and water competition " cannot be
viewed as only in existence at points
where the water runs, but has Its effect
on inland points. Mr. Munroe also
thought mileage was not the proper basis
on which to flguret rates, but that the

topography of the country, cost 01 main
tenance and water competition should be
taken Into consideration.
v Clas Rates Not Good.
He said it would be highly desirable
if the different rates maintained on what
is known as classes and commodities
could be abolished and only one general
rate established, -which would be fair
-"and equitable for all concerned.
"It would be a happy consummation."
said he. "if all these burdensome matters
of differences In rates could be done
away with by order of the commission,
but nothing short of the millenium can
bring such a condition about and I doubt
' If even that could do so."

WITH KNIFE THRCSTS.
Police Search Little Italy for Joe
Gaetano. While One Victim
Lies In Hospital.
Salvatore Jacobellis. 20 years old. Is
In the Good Samaritan Hospital in a
critical condition with an ugly stab
wound in his lung; Vito Tuzzl, 30 years
old is nursing a severe cut upon his
forearm, and the police are searching
Little Italv and all the near-by rail
road camps for Joe Gaetano. J5 Tears
old. as the result of a drunken quarrtl
which occurred yesterday afternoon at
3:30 oclock on the sidewalk at Fifth
and Sheridan streets. Jacobellls Is ex
pected to live, although his injury is
serious, unless some unlooked-for com-
plication sets in. -
ym Both the victims of the cutting affray
and the fugitive are laborers employed
on the section work of the West Side
line of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Tuzzl is section foreman near Esta
cada. while the other two men work
under him. As customary with the
working classes of their race, both
wounded men refused to tell the au
thorities the cause of the stabbing, pre
ferring to settle the matter in their own
approved methods.
Information of the fight, which oc
curred outside a grocery store, was
telephoned to Sheriff Stevens by an on
looker, who immediately notified the
police. Petectlves Coleman, Hyde, M
loney and Tichenor were sent out at
once, hut the knife wlelder had fled and
all trace of him apparently was lost.
Residents of the vicinity refused to talk
L. much about the trouble.
From what was told by Tuzzl. how
ever, and by Mike Campanelli, of 669
Fifth street, who was standing about 50
feet distant from the men. it appears
that all three had been drinking beer
at a house a few doors distant from the
corner where they lodged. After hav
ing imbibed freely, they had started to
go to Estacada to their section work.
On the way to the corner they became
Involved in some argument, which was
. abruptly terminated by Gaetano. who
drew a long knife from his pocket and
viciously attacked his comrades. Ja
cohellis. faint from the loss of blood
and shock, fell to the pavement and
kwas carried to the house of Mrs. F.
Dangelo. next door, from where an am
bulance conveyed him to the hospital.

CHORUS GIRLN0W STAR
Miss Anna Hurfman, of "The Girl

From a member of the chorus to prima
donna on less than a day's notice is a
decided promotion, but such was the
good fortune of Miss Anna Huffman, a
member of "The Girl Question" com
pany, appearing this week at the
Baker. Miss Virginia Stuart, the prima
donna with this attraction, was sud
denly taken seriously ill with ptomaine
poisoning Tuesday and was unable to
appear that night. For awhile Man
ager McGowan . was at a loss to Jcnow
what to do to insure the completion of
his company's engagement here. He de

proved equal to the emergency. Hav
