preserve his good name. Besides be-

was on a different count, the jury
brought in an adverse decision. The

ARE ARGUING FOR TIME
Hearing of Railroads Before Inter-
State Commission.
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED.

Railway Representatives Tell Why Their
Companies Have Not Complied With the
Law Relating to Automatic Car Couplers.
Hand Rails and Air Breaks Interview
with the New German Ambassador
Capital City Notes.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The interstate
commerce commission opened the hear
ing of the railroads which have petit
toned for an extension of the time in
which they may comply with the law
of 1893 requiring them to equip their
cars and engines with automatic car
couplers, hand rails and air brakes. The
representatives or attorneys of several
hundred railroads and also of leading
labor organizations were present and
the chamber in which the commission
sat was crowded to the doors. Intense
interest was manifested. John K.
Cowen, one of the receivers of the Bal
timore and Ohio railway, presented the
general subject to the commission.
Previous to his general presentation
Chairman Morrison of the commission
called for the oral argument of the
case which were completely equipped
under the law, but which had petitioned
the commission for an extension of the
time as applied to the cars Of other
roads which had not complied.
Mr. Hoar's Argument.
Samuel Hoar, representing the Bos-
ton and Albany railway. made brief
argument on this point to show the ut
ter paralysis of traffic which must fol-
low if roads which had complied with
| the law were compelled to cease haul
| ing unequipped cars. Mr.. Cowen pre-
| sented at some length the whole ques-
ton. representing in this issue not the
Baltimore and Ohio, but the Lake
Shore road. The Lake Shore, he said.
was one of the most prosperous roads
in the country and it had been able to
| comply fully with the law, but it was
here uniting with the other roads in
| asking for an extension. The business
( of the railroads of the country was
| largely a unit and those roads which
had equipped their cars could not haul
unequipped cars without technically vi
olating the law.
! Passenger Cars Equipped.
Mr. Cowen said that he was chairman
of a committee at this hearing which
represented about COO 900 of the $4,000

gued that this was sufficient evidence

said, had rendered them financially un

terminated in Spalding's sentence were
of highly dramatic character. Judge

was when the court said that Spalding

We all know what Egyptian dark
ness" is, and that in II ost tropical coun.
tries sudden darkness after shutdown is
one of the peculiarit.es. In Egypt az
certain seasons of the year there is Il
marked exception 10 this sudden draw
ing of the curtains Of the skies" The
sun goes down and darkness comes on
very suddenly and continues for a
space Of 20 minutes or half an hour.
Then, all of sudden, the hills and sands
take on CHASTITY paleness and in ar
other moment everything begins TO
brighten, and it appears that the sun
is about 10 rise out of the west. These
tints of golden, purple, orange and lilac
attain their maximum degree of bright
ness in about ten minutes after they
begin. and in 90 minutes everything has
faded into darkness and you are only
conscious OF the fact that you have Just
witnessed the phenomenon known as
the Egyptian afterglow."
