Official Of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works Defends American Engines.
New York, June s.-The Times quotes
Alba B. Johnson of the Baldwin locomo-
tive works, Philadelphia, as saying In re-,
ply to the recent charges Of Samuel w.
johnson, locomotive superintendent Of the
NJ dland railway of England, that the ex-
ira working cost of American locomotives
over the British under the same conditions
is from 20 to % per cent in fuel, 30 per
cent in oil and 80 per cent in repairs. ut
is impossible for me to supply any data.
Johnsons statement.
Efforts have repeatedly been made TO
ohtain from the Midland railway inf0rma.
ton respecting the relative performance
of English and American locomotives
working under similar conditions. hut mp
wAnneld Had such information been
furnished and had II been found unfaNor
able to the American locomotives meas
ureS wouid Immediately have been taken
to ascertain the reason and provide the
proper remedy.
1T is obvious that In locomotives of the
same weight, general dimensions, heating
similar materials throughout there can
not be SO wide variance In operating
economy as Mr. johnson's figures Indicate
unless one of the locomotives under con-
sideration Is In condition unfit for e. g.
parison. II therefore 1t is true that the
favorable results indicated. y is abundant
reason for the locomotive department Or
the Midland railway to investigate ana
correct the trouble.

New York, June s-W. L. McCarty com
missioner Of the New York freight anu
transportation bureau in discussing the re.
cent changes in freight classification made
by Western railroads, particularly the
change permitting Western merchants To-
ship various kinds of merchandise In mixed
carloads, suld
Every Instance where the Western classi-
hcation has been changed to read mixed
carloads is a direct discrimination agains,
the city Of New York. since all rates to
Western points ale made on the official
classification which does not permit mixing
ears to the Mississippi river and this In
creuses the distributing power OF every
jobbng house located on line drawn from
St faul through Chicago and 81. Louis
or, in other words, all cities located on the
west bank of the Mississippi river. Sucn
changes as these are drawing the lines ana
area of distribution of New York closer ana
closer and we should have the cooperation
of merchants here to take up and fight just
such propositions, which are driving freight
to Western distributing centers The only
thing TO do now, Is to so right ahead and
protest against the changes that are TO take
effect on August /.
These changes have been effecteu
through influences brought to bear on the
railroads by the ST. Louis, Kansas city
and Chicago traffic bureaus, which the
merchants of these cities support to oh.
tain such results as this IN the equalization
of rates and classification of their respec-
tive geographical situations"
Mr. William X. CorWlne of the Merchants

pointment Sometimes mis- little brother
would come to the door to shout consol-
ing messages through the keyhole.
Hey, Ted, he's comm now! Fathers
Just drivin the carryall down the road"
was one piece of information.
Later he shouted: Say, Ted, he's got
lots of funny things down there to
show u.s. He says so. He's eatin now,
but bym by he's goin to show us them.
Hey, there, Don't you wisht you could
come down."
Teddy danced about on one foot in a.
frenzy of disappointment. Oh. how he
hated those birds, Couldn't they have
built their nest in less anurlng spot?
1t is hard that irresistible temptations
should almost always meet us just
where discovery is infallible.
Presently shouts of laughter and ex-
carnations Of delight fioated up TO Ted
dy's room from below The prisoner
applied his ear to the floor in the hope
of discovering what was going on. He
felt pretty sure that the professor was
exhibiting his trophies.
In a few minutes he heard the key
turn in the lock, and his mother came
in. She spoke quite severely:
Theodore Tompkins. your uncle is
asking for you. | have decided to al
low you to come down stairs little
while as l am quite sure that his con-
versation and his curiosities will i'm
prove your little mind. 1t needs It
badly"
Teddy went down. kissed his uncle.
as he was instructed to do, and then
stood aside and stared first at the stran-
ger and then at the queer shells and
skeleton fish that he had brought home
with him. Said the professor in Sc
we're voice:
II hear that you have been misbehav-
ing, sir. Stoning robins is not nice
work for young man of your age. q ,et
me show you robin that you could
not stone" And the professor picked
up a jar in which was fish OF the
