ROBERTS ON THE RAILROADS
Pennsylvania's President Says Canadian
Roads Should Obey Our Laws.

Pennsylvania's President Says Canadian
Roads should Obey Our Laws.
The United States Interstate Commerce
Investigating Committee continued It's
session this morning. President George
B. Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Road
was the first witness.
BY Senator Cullum-What remedy
have you to suggest as an amendment TO
the law that would place American ROADS
and Canadian roads on an equality?
Mr.. Roberts-I think that any foreign
corporation doing business here should
be subject to the same laws as the roads
of our own country. If Canadian
roads are permitted to carry
traffic in and out OF the
United States. they should be made
Grand Trunk, of Canada, being indepen-
dent of the legislation which effects the
United States railways is con-
slant menace to the latter The
Canadian roads are at present
in position to do serious injury to
American commerce at any time the
managers may see fit. In fact, l am not
SO sure that foreign roads should
enjoy, even under the same con
ditions as the United States roads.
/ cannot quite understand why foreign
roads should be allowed TO go IN ana OUT
of the United States while foreign vessels
are not allowed to do coasting business
with this country.
BY Senator Blair-"What practical
method do you suggest to protect US in
our competition with Canada?n
| Mr.. Roberts, should make them sub
| ject to the same laws which our own roads
obey. In case this is not satisfactory
think our own roads are fully able to ac-
commodate the public, even if there were
no Canadian roads
Senator German asked President Rob
erts the same question which Mr.. Wiman
answered yesterday, whether or not it
would be fair proposition for the
United States to demand that all
Canadion roads doing business in the
| United States should conform to Ameri-
can laws or stay out of the country.
| Mr.. Roberts replied that he thought 1t 9
| perfectly fair demand and one which
should be made in the interest of Ameri
| can roads.

SHORT WORK.

Closing Arguments in the Case---
Ex-Judge Garrets0n Says the
Charge Should Not Have Been
Conspiracy.
"Not guilty"
0 tempora, o mores.
Everybody perceived the conspiracy,
but the jury didn't see it.
The Big Four has been acquitted.
Judge Lippincott made his charge
this forenoon, and the case was in the
hands of twelve men. 1t did not take
them long to decide that conspiracy
had not been proven. Perhaps they
really believed, with ex-Judge
Garretson, that the charge
should have been malfeasance
in Office; perhaps they regarded
Messrs. Kern, Reynolds, Hilliard and
Watt as white souled innocents as
sailed by the slanderous tongue OF
rumor. At any rate the verdect was
rendered in less than an hour; and the
Big Four is an honest combine SO
far.
But other indictments are to come.

Mothers

There are upon the skin of every human
being, child and adult alike, 9, 300, 900 pores.
Through these pores in the form of invisible
perspiratioh is expelled more than one
quarter of the nourishment taken into the
system. The importance of keeping open
these perspiration valves upon child's body
is second only to that of properly digesting
the food eaten. 1t was to open the pores of
the skin and to assimilatc the food that DR..
Pitcher formulated Castora. Loose bowels,
constipation, fevers and eruptions which are
so constant among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children before
they are five years old, arise principally
from these two causes. 1t is from the Won
derful results attendant upon the use of
Castoria in regulating the stomach and bow
els and keeping open the poresofthe skin that
Castoria acquired its worldwide reputation.
With plenty of water for the body, pure air
for the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the
food, there need be no unnacounted for scks
ness among children. CastOria is vege-
table prescription without morphine or other
narcotic property. Thirty years extensive
use has given it history never attained by
another medicine,
