interchange OF Freight Traffic the
Purpose.
PRES. BERG'S STATEMENT.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-It was for
Valley railroad today that deal for the
interchange of freight traffic with the New
York. Susquehanna and Western road has
been consummated. The roads will connect
for this purpose at Jenkins. near Wilkes
barre. and also at Harrisburg Junction, near
Stroudsburg. 1t is stated by the Lehigh
Valley officials that the deal is not an
tagonistic to the New York and New Eng
land or to any other road.
The exchange OF traffic will be mutual
and promises to be highly advantageous
to both companies. A large amount of
traffic will be brought over the Suspension
bridge and through Buffalo from the west
by the Lehigh Valley and turned over to
the New York, Susquehanna and Western
at Jenkins for points on the latter's new
Wilkesbarre and Eastern extension. or
will be carried still further 10 Harrisburg
junction for the delivery at points between
Stroudsburg and Jersey City on the main
Western.
In return the SusQuehanna road will turn
over to the Lehigh Valley all the west
bound traffic originating on its Wilkes
barre and Eastern extension. The agree
Hient does not include traffic to reach Jer-
sey City independently of each other.
President Simon Berg Of the New York.
Susquehanna and Western says that no
deal has been made between New England
and Susquehanna. He declined to state
whether there were negotiations in progress
with this end in view. He said that there
was already a line connecting the Pough-
keepsie bridge terminus with the Susque-
hanna. He says that relations with the Lee
high valley are very pleasant. Aside from
that there are no other relations.
TtA Wilkesbarre and Eastern (the Sus-
Quehanna extension) will be in operation
within a week.

CLAIMS FOR LEGAL SERVICES.
In Connection with the Rock Greek
| Park Not Sustained.

Chief Justice Richardson today handed
down in the Court Of Claims his opinion In
the suit brought by r. Ross Perry of this
city against the United States for $40 co.,
which he claimed in payment for legal serv-
Ices rendered by him as a member Of the
Rock Creek Park commission. Judge Rich
ardson dismissed the petition on the ground
that Mr.. Perry. as a member Of the COM
mission, entitled TO compen sa ton at the
rate OF SO a day, could not draw another
stipend. The Attorney General, he held
was the proper officer to transact the legal
affairs of the purchase OF a site for the
park, and not a member OF the commission.
MI. Perry. he further decided, was an officer
OF the government while serving on the
commission and was, therefore, subject to
the restriction that no officer shall draw
two salaries
In his brief Mr.. Perry claimed that he
had not drawn the per diem allowance and
argued that this strengthened his claim.
Judge Richardson dismisses this plea as
immaterial
Judge Beele handed down the opinion Of
tne court IN the similar cases of c. c. Cole
ana Hugh Taggart, dismissing their claims
for $1,000 each for legal services connected
with the same transaction
among the other decisions of the court
promulgated today was one by Judge Peele
diminishing the claim Of Capt Samuel c.
Lemly, judge advocate general OF the navy,
who sued for the difference between the
pay allotted to him-shore pay of a captain
and sea pay with ration, q matter of
about 8. 800 The late occupant OF the Of
fee drew the pay Of a colonel of marines.
which amounted to about 5000 and Capt.
Lemly's pay is about 300. The case has
been pending for some months.
