ASTORIA CASE DROPPED
Commission Finds Good Cause for
Delay of Train.
ASTORIA. Or., July 22. (Special.) The
State Railroad Commission held a meet
ing here this afternoon to investigate the
charges made by Dr. Thomas Ross that
the passenger (rains on the Astoria &
Columbia River Railroad are subject to
needless delays and are not run in ac
cordance with the schedule. The com
pany's officials admitted the delays, but
said they had been caused by accidents,
which could not be prevented, by the
failure of the engines to work properly
and by the engineers not having become
accustomed to handling the new equip
ment. After hearing all the testimony, the
Commission made the following order:
"In view of all the facts, we do not
think any order is warranted In the
premises, certainly not one that In any
way will disturb the schedule now In
force. If there should be in the future any
serious ground for criticism of the per
formance of these trains, the matter can
then be brought up. The case Is dismissed."
