Investigation by Pennsylvania Trustees' Committee. FEW COMPLAINTS MADE Only Ten of Three Hundred Coal Operators Believe They Have Been Discriminated Against by the Railroad Company. A TRIPLE CURE BY CUTICURA REMEDIES II J5 v !-'.-.. - m. sssst PHILADELPHIA. July 2. A prelimtn kry report of the special committee of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company recently appointed to Investigate alleged discrimination in the distribution of coal cars as revealed at the hearings of the Interstate Commerce Commission was submitted today to the full board of the company. After a short discussion, the report was unanimously approved. The committee, after stating that it had been requested to extend its investiga tion to all companies controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and that it had carefully considered the testimony taken by the Interstate Commerce Commission, says that the testimony showed "that of more than 300 operators of bituminous coal mines situated on the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, less than ten operators in all have testified that they believed themselves to have been unfairly discriminated against either in the distribution of cars or In the mat ter of sidings connecting mine workings with the railroad line." "FIrty-one of the more than 123.000 of ficers and employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company," the committee says, "were examined before the Interstate Commerce Commission, and of those wit nesses 21 were shown to have acquired. In various ways. Interests In coal companies or properties alleged, but not proven, to have received undue and unreasonable preferences In the distribution of coal cars, or In the construction of sidings. Despite the public Impression to the con trary, derived from the fragmentary pub lications of the evidences In the newspa per, the testimony of the witnesses exam ined before the commission does not prove that there have been In fact any undue or unreasonable preferences either In the distribution of coal cars or In the con struction of sidings." The committee says It has received re plies from all officers and employes hav ing charge of the distribution of cars to Inquiries made by the committee regard ing ear distribution, but until the com pany's records of the daily movement of cars can be examined the committee will be unable to know whether the distribu tion of cars varies from the rules gov erning the same. Kxpert investigation of the company's daily reports and other records of car distribution has been un dertaken. The committee calls attention to 'many difficulties encountered in the distribu tion of cars, and says: "It is not to be assumed without proof that any special order was issued by any officer from any improper motive. On the contrary the reasonable presumption Is that every such order was Issued only be caupe of a sufficient business necessity." The report says that the question of .pri vately owned coal cars Is not a new ques tion, nor one which admits of an offhand solution. "The greater part of the coal tonnage of Bngland Is moved today in privately owned cars. The use of such cars on the Pennsylvania lines Is peculiar to a few favored shippers. Thej have been used from the beginning of coal transportation." The report. In conclusion, says that in its early history the great problem for the company was development of Indus trial enterprises In Its territory, and of ficers and employes were encouraged to Invest In those enterprises, as otherwise It would have been difficult to Induce other people to invest. Today the prob lem Is to provide adequate facilities for the business of the country. 'Under the conditions of today." says the report, "it is essential that all of the officers and employes should be absolute ly free to discharge their duties Impar tially, and every officer and employe should be required to refrain from any Investment whatsoever which may pos sibly prejudice or affect the interests of the company or interfere with the com pany's full discharge of its duty to the public." FIREPROOF CONSTRUCTION An Ideal Three-Story Building With out a Steel Frame. Boston Herald. In discussing the conflagatlon in San Kranelsco, where the experience of Bal timore was repeated on a far larger scale, doubt was expressed as to whether a really fireproof building, on u large scale, is yet architecturally pos sible and commercially practicable. The underwriters, after the Baltimore tire, recognized this doubt in substituting for the inexact term "fireproof in their Bpecflcatlons the more accurate term "tire-resistive'' or "fire-retarding," vvhicn is about all that our best steel construction is. The National Board of Fire Under writers, In building their new labora tories in Chicago, have, it is claimed, made a structure which cannot be burned, either by any fire starting with in or attacking It from without. It is really "fireproof" because It is con structed of noncombustible materials throughout. Nor would it be possible for any large portion of the contents of the building to be destroyed by tire. Any fire would be confined to the di vidual apartment or floor In which it started, and, even If It were allowed to burn itself out without any attempt at extinguishing it, the fire could not spread to the buldlng or to the other floors or rooms. As this building was to be only three stories In height, with a basement, steel skeleton construction was not necessary. The plun and pro cess are thus described: It was decided that the exterior walls should be of the best hard-burned brick. Inside and outside; that protected castlron columns should be used to sup port steel girders and beams for the floor and roof, the latter, of course, pro tected: that there should be no attic, but that the celling of the third story should be the roof; that all floor and roof construction partitions, column and beam protection should be of semi porous hollow terra cotta with thick walls, and that all openings in the hol low tile partitions should be framed With rolled channel steel framed to gether, which should be the final finish around the same. It was also decided that there should be no plastering in the bulUMng. and that all the floors should be finished with cement. Fur thermore, that all window frames, sky lights and sash should be of sheet met al which has been tested In the labora tory, and that all glass should be wired. All doors also should be of double cop per or steel and filled, and. In fact, that no combustible material should enter int. the finish or furnishing of the bunding. These details were carried out In every part of the building, and the work was done according to plans fur riabed by the experts in charge of the laboratories, and the construction was carefully supervised by them. It Is be lieved that a city built on this plan would be "unburnable," and that the buildings would cost not above 10 per cent more than those built In the ordi nary way -fireproof or fire-reslstlng for the most part, but vulnerable at points, like window sashes and casings, doors, floors, ceilings, etc. which opens the way to a more or less complete destruc tion in such a fierce conflagration as that just witnessed in San Francisco. In erecting a building that will serve as a perfect model of safety from fire in all respects up to the highest standard of safe construction, the underwriters whose companies in this country alone will be called upon to "make good" nearly $103,000,030 of losses In California have given an object lesson which should be well studied by those who control the work of rebuilding burnt districts or cities, or who design build ings tc be thoroughly fireproof any where.

One may begin the attempts of free ex pression, and thus an Independent use of the language, with a comparatively small vocabulary. Conscientious reading and well conducted conversation will then quickly enlarge the vocabulary and de velop the facility of expression. But I cannot lay to much stress upon the fact that the free and exact rendering of one's own thought in writing is the most ef ficient exercise in acquiring a language. In mere conversation we are apt to slip over difficulties by permitting ourselves vagueness and Inaccuracies of expression, which would sternly demand correction and correction, too, easily, kept in mind when the written words look us in the face. To quicken the efficacy of this ex ercise, requires, of course, a teacher able not only to pound grammatical rules into the head of the pupil, but also to stir up In the study of the language a mentally active interest in the subjects spoken or written about. Immense Increase on Great Lakes. WASHINGTON, July 2. A statement Issued today by the Department of Commerce and Labor says that during the fiscal year just ended 1463 mer chant vessels were built in this coun try. They measured 421,744 gross reg ister tons, compared with 1301 vessels of 326,213 gross tons for the fiscal year of 1903. Of the new tonnage, 384 vessels of 73,399 grcss tons were unrigged barges and canal boats. The year's increase has been entirely on steel steamers on the Great Lakes, numbering 52 of 237, 724 gross tons, compared with 29 of 102.497 gross tons for the previous year.

"'B:S:tfJa' LOCOMOTIVES LIKE MEN FEW YEARS HARD WORK. THEN SCRAP PILE. Superintendent of Santa Fe Railroad Talks of the Life and Fate of Engines. Kansas City Star. A little greasy switch-engine pound ing hard to pull a short transfer train under the Union Depot sheds a few,, days ago, attracted the attention of . C Fox. general superintendent of the Santa Fe Railway. Mr. Fox sat in his private car and watched the litle ma chine struggling with its load. "The evolution of an engine," he mused. By its side stood a magnificent prairie type flyer, one of the kind that pulls heavy frujt trains 60 miles an hour through Kansas. And it looked like cruelty to ask that smaller ma chine near it to work. It looked like a baby toddling around a Jeffries or a Fltzslmmons. There was not more than a dozen cars in the little trans fer it was struggling so hard to move. But the task caused it to strain and wheeze and groan. Time was when men would stop and look at it, the same as they now in Has Been Bailiff of Federal Court Many Years "Uncle George" Humphrey, bailiff of the Federal Court, returned yesterday from St, Martin's Hot Springs, where he has been spending a week's vacation. Hardly any person in the state has a . wider range of acquaintance than he, his I occupancy of numerous official positions, both state and Federal, placing him in constant touch with people from all sec- tions of the Northwest. Mr. Humphrey was born January 23. 1S33, in Jefferson County, Ohio, but was raised in Iowa. In the Summer of 1865 he "crossed the plains" to Oregon, the trip consuming live months. There were 56 wagons in the train, 76 men, and a corresponding number f women and children. He was elected captain of the outfit, and brought them through without encountering serious obstacles. Mr. Humphrey served in the Sheriff's office of Linn County, Or., both as Sheriff and deputy, for more than fifteen years. He was deputy United States marshal for Linn County under John Myers during Cleveland's first term, and also served as deputy under H. C. Grady from July 1. 1893. to 1897. and has ever since been connected with the Government building, either as deputy United States marshal or court bailiff. The late Judge Bellinger was very much attached to "Uncle George," and. in fact, the latter enjoys widespread popularity wherever he is known. His fund of an ecdotes is extremely large. In talking about his trip across the plains yesterday. Mr. Humphrey said: "Our party was made up for the most part of remnant's of Price's left wing, and also included several members of Quantrell's gang of guerillas, with here and there a amattering of of Northern ers. General Martin Van Buren Brown, afterward editor of the States Rights Democrat, published at Albany, and well- known to all old-timers hereabouts, like wise accompanied our party In its jour ney westward, and as he had raised a company in Iowa during the war and fought against the South, you can well imagine the extent of his popularity among those who had battled for the lost cause. "The trip was exceedingly hard on wearing apparel, and finally General Brown became reduced to the uniform worn by him during the war. The effect of the blue suit upon those who wore the gray can well be Imagined, especially as spect the prairie monster. Time was when its boiled plate shone like blued steel; when its bell glittered as bur nished gold; when it was as proud a machine as any that pulled off 50 miles an hour between stations. But that was a long time ago. It Is now as signed to kick transfer ears around on switch tracks. It is soon to make its final run, the trip which ends at the scrap pile. Could Its history be written, it would tell of hundreds of thousands of miles traversed, of as many thousand dollars earned fbr its master, the railroad. Yet no record will be written of its labor. Some time, maybe, an engineer may think of "the little girl which fought for time and took the special In." But there recollection ends. "Engines after all are like men," Mr. Fox said. "No matter how hard one tries, some person eventually will be found who will displace him. No matter how much work an engine does, aother eventually comes to displace it. An engine goes the other way. It's only a step from 'the limited' to the scrap pile. The life of an engine in passenger service is 10 or 12 years. Then it goes to freight service, is finally turned into a switch engine, and then railroaded to the scrap pile. An engine built for freight service will last for 20 years, sometimes longer. Of course the treatment given determines the length of service. In this is seen the similarity between man and engine. Feed a man good food, give him plenty of rest, don't overwork him and he'll live longer than the man who has poor food, gets little sleep and works overtime. Feed one of the wagons was loaded with whis ky, and it required all my diplomacy to prevent the ex-Confederates from killing Brown while they were under the influ ence of liquor. "The General had one story which he invariably told at the expense of Salem whenever occasion offered. Someone asked him how he liked the capital of Oregon, and his reply has been a by-word ever since: " 'Salem, as compared to Portland, Is Just like this," the. General would say 'in coming down from Albany I stop over a few hours in Salem, and whenever I 50 up town all the boys gather around me and slap me on the back, saying, "Hello, Mart, are you going to treat?" but when I reach Portland in the afternoon and cross over on the Stark-street ferry the citizens of the place tip their hats to me and remark with great courtesy, uen eral, what are you going to drink?" That marks the extent of my opinion of the two places.' " Hmt. - 3ctBBEB858 sssssssssssbikI George Humphrey. .................... i an engine good coal, give It time to rest and cool, don t overwork it, and it will last many years longer. it is not generally Known that the Atlantic, Pacific and prairie type en gines have been used In this country only In the last three or four years. The Atlantic type engine is built for cpeed. It's six or seven feet drive wheels adapt it for such work. It was an Atlantic type engine that reached a speed of 106 miles an hour during the run of the Scott special several months ago. I believe that if a perfectly straight and level track was used, these engines could make two miles a minute, a rate of 120 miles an hour. They'll travel faster than any bird, faster than anything human. They're built on the order of the racehorse, long limbed, light bod led, graceful and powerful. The At lantic type engine has but two drivers on the side. "The Pacific type engine is built with three drivers on the side and is constructed for fast running with heavy passenger trains. It will take our transcontinental flyers up the heavy grades with only a bare slack ening of speed. It's a hill-climber. The prairie type engine is for fast freight service, and is constructed also with three drivers on the side, but It will hardly attain the speed on grades that the Pacific engine does. "These engines are all new. They embody all the best features of the old style engines. The 'old-timers' ara. called eight-wheelers, ten-wheelers, mogul and consolidation engines. You still see many old moguls laboring with freight trains. ' "But the railroads are doing away with the old scrap piles such as they used to have. When an engine goes to it now, it is taken to pieces, and the best is saved for repairing others. One engine, a year after it has gone out of service, may be distributed and be come part of a dozen other engines. That which is not used is thrown into plies of assorted iron or steel. The Santa Fe section men collect all metal loose along the road and send it either to Topeka or Chicago, to be assorted. When a large amount has accumulated the purchasing agent will notify foun drymen or machine shop owners, and sell to the highest bidder. Time and weather do not destroy worn-out rail road machinery as it used to do. The metal is considered too valuable to let go to waste." How He Climbed the Stairs.
