particularly to this project by reason of
the unusually sumptuous and attractive
setting given to the survey in the report.
Four large folio volumes are devoted to
letter press text, and three volumes to
maps and profile drawings, 800 in num-
her. The text is printed doubly in Eng
lish and Spanish-the latter for the bene-
fit of the republics to the south of us
and is embellished throughout with a
prodigal profusion of charming half-tone
reproductions of original photographs, il
Illustrating the varied phases of life and
scenery encountered along the route, in
the tropics and among the snow-clad
Andean mountain ranges. And besides
bristling with facts and interesting sta
tlstics touching railway possibilities In
South and Central America, the text is
full of live description and incident, thus
combining with the substantial features
of a technical engineering report the at
fractions of a book of travel and adven-
ture.
Aside from the reciprocity treaties ne
gotated with the Spanish-American re-
publ1cs, this railway survey has all along
been regarded in prospect as calculated
to be the most important achievement of
the Pan-American conference of 1889,
which, in itself, was the elimination
of a long series of conferences with a
similar unifying purposes in view,
beginning with the congress call
ed in 1921 by Simon Bolivar of Co
lumbia, and embracing the congresses
that met at Panama in 1925, at Lima in
1917 and 1864, at Santiago de Chile In 1856,
and at Montevideo in 1888. The survey was
undertaken in the belief that a railroad
connecting air or a majority of the ma
tons represented in the conference would
greatly aid in the material and CONNER
cial development of all concerned, and
the international railway commission
was created TO blaze the way for that
work. BY appointments of their respective
governments the membership Of the COM
mission was thus constituted: For Ar

An American lady recently bought two

birds, for they cost only SO apiece She

with her when she left. AS soon as she

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10-A con-
tinuous line of railroad 10000 miles long
from Chicago to Argentina, in South
America, transporting through passen-
gers, without change, in all the COM
fort and ease of modern parlor coaches,
from Lake Michigan to Buenos Ayres
in two weeks!
The idea is indeed attractive, though
seemingly iIlusory But after witness
ing the building of a colossal railroad
across Siberia and the projection of great
railways in China and other far-off
lands, and taking into account the won
derful era of international trade ex-
pansiOn in every direction now opening
ID before US, wideawake Americans will
doubtless be better prepared and more
willing than heretofore to consider the
feasibility of a three-Americas railway
that will connect by single trunk line
the United States and Mexico railways
with all the South and Central American
states. Such an enterprise would, it is
believed, go much farther than all other
agencies combined toward realizing that
long-cherished dream of our statesmen
the commercial unity of all the republics
of America

practical consideration of this project is

Pottsville, Sept. Sin the case Of the
Commonwealth VS.. Thomas Brennan, the

the first degree for the killing of Harry
Elliott, at New Philadelphia, on June End,
and in which a motion for new trial had
been made by defendants counsel, Judge
Bechtel, in an exhaustive opinion, in which
he thoroughly reviewed the entire case and
all the important motions made by the
counsel for the defense, found no reason for
reversing the finding Of the jury, and ee-
clined a new trial.
When Judge Bechtel had concluded, Mr..
Brumm, counsel for the defendant. arose and
stated he thought he could convince the
court it had made several erroneous state
ments He said the court had intimated that
there were a number of medical men in the
county who could have analyzed the liquor
of which Brennan had taken. Mr.. Brumm
stated there was not one in the county-nOt
one chemist. he also referred to several
other alleged misstatements he thought the
court had made. Judge Bechtel merely re-
forred Mr.. Brumm to the records and testi.
mOny.
Thomas Brennan, the prisoner. in COM
pany with his mother and sister, were
present in court during the delivery Of the
courts opinion.
District Attorney Bechtel this morning
notified counsel for Brennan that the latter
would be called before court next Monday
morning for sentence.
