New Tork, Nov,. 17. Spectators were thrown into intense excitement tonight at the horse show at Madison Square Garden, when John Heckscher, secretary of the National Horse Show company of America, was run down and trampled upon by a pair of horses on exhibition In the ring. Women screamed and men crowded toward the ring. Before the excitement passed several women fainted. Many believ ed that Mr. Hecksched had been kill ed, as half conscious he was dragged from under the hoofs of the horses. In the ring ' at the time were the horses Buster Brown and Katzenjam mer Kid, driven by Mrs. Edward R. Ladew of Glencove, L. I. Mrs. Ladew had pulled them up from a rapid gait and Mr. Heckscher In trying to go to the Judge's stand in the centre of the ring, attempted to pass .In front of them, when one of the horses lunged forward and struck him. In instant Mr. Heckscher was down and the an imal was tramping him. His head and shoulders were struck several times by the horse's hoofs. When help reached him he was almost unconscious, his face was cut in several places and he was bleeding profusely.

Mr. Heckscher is the fath er-in-law of Mayor George B. Me Clellan, and Is a member of many prominent organizations. miJi h Am IRRIGATION MEN ARE STILL BUSY Body Which Favors Extensive Drainage Will Wind Up Meeting With Big Doings TOKIO HAS NOT HEARD OF IT London, Nov. 18. The fact that the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Rasto ropny, which arrived at Chefoo Wed nesday, left Port Arthur much later than the date of Genera Stoessel a published reports, which relate nothing later than the third of November, Is regarded as stgnlflcant. Apparently, however, Tokio has not yet received as late news as Is contained In the report Of American Consul General Fowler at Chefoo, . which was transmitted to the state department at Washington. Special dispatches from Tien Tsin re port a heavy bombardment of Port Arthur as late as November 12, and nightly sorties by small parties of Rus sians who lost heavily by bayonet fights. These reports give no reliable details, but concur in statements that guns are wearing out and that the Russian ammunition is becoming scarce.

Many reasons were offered by railroad officials at today's hearing of the interstate com merce commission on cattle rates to upport the contention that the pres ent rates on live sock should be main tained. According to the testimony of C. F. Reseequle, district general su perintendent of the St. Louis and San Fianclsco road, cattle taken from Texas to the Northern ranches are so poorly fed that some of them are una ble to stand on their feet while the train Is in action, and many of them die In the cars. Mr. Rossorjule' declared that the railroads were held responsible for th? safe delivery of these animals and therefore were compelled to pay heavy damages to the shippers. H. H. Embry, gneral freight agent of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad company, In his tertlmony, gave a summary of the reasons fur nished by railroad men for maintain ing the present rates for live-stock. These reasons are: Requirements of Shippers, The requirements of shippers, such as arbitrary loading of cars and tV unloading and return of the same cars; the liability to cleams, which materially reduce the gross earnings on this clase of freight; the delay to other traffic caused by stock trains, which is much greater than that caused by any other kind of freight; the free transporta tion given to parties' accompanying stock and their return; the enforce J returning of empty cars, greatly In creasing the empty mileage on stock cars and the extraordinary expense fvr equipment and maintenance required by this traffic. "These," said Mr. Embry, "are some of the reasons for thinking the present rate Is entirely reasonable, and just. This matter of furnishing free trans portation to men accompanying live stock shipments alone 18 quite an Item. The free transportation given In this way figured at the regular rate of 3 centB per mile, would amount to 1688,000 in a year. Of course 1M ' Is not a direct loss, but many of theso persona would have niat'.e the trip .in i paid the fare if the prlvll-j'je hrl not been granted. Besides this they oc cupy space in our parlor and slop'.ng cars that might be orruplei by pay ing passengers." Seven more witnesses of the railroad compnnies are still to be heard and as some testimony will be introduced"v the Cattle Raisers association, the commission will not adjourn before Saturday afternoon.
