LIABILITY OF RAILWAYS.
Important Hearing Before the Supreme
Court Tomorrow.

A case in which the interstate commerce
commission is more than ordinarily interest
ed is that of Johnson against the Southern
Pacific railroad, which comes up for hear
ing before the Supreme Court of the United
States tomorrow or Friday.
The case has come through the United
States circuit court, where Johnson first
brought suit for $4,000 for injuries re-
ceived while he was a brakeman on the
Southern Pacific. In that court he lost
his case, but took an appeal and was
again turned down. The Department of
Justice then had the matter brought to its
attention. with the result that the case
was reopened and dOcketed for argument
before the court of last resort.
Johnson's arm was crushed or while he
was performing the coupling Of car to
an engine. The couplers were OF different
pattern and, therefore, according to the
experts. non-automatic resulting in greater
danger to the brakeman than with the
old style of pin coupler. The partisans
of Johnson claim that the different cou-
piers were violation of the safety appliance
law on the part of the railroad. a law
providing for the safety of the active en-
ployes Of railroads in this country
It's father is Edward A. Moseley, secre-
tary OF the interstate commerce commits
sion. Mr.. Moseley today said that deci-
sion by the Supreme Court sustaining that
of the lower court would have the effect of
multiplying that part or the Sdfety appl1-
ance act which requires uniformity of COUP
ling devices on all railroads, and that the
employees Of all railroads in the United
States were therefore particularly inter-
ested In the outcome of this case
The government has filed an exhaustive
brief and the case has been assigned by the
Attorney General and the solicitor general,
who have taken great interest in the
matter.
The case will undoubtedly be argued for
the railroad companies by Maxwell Evarts
Of New York and Martin L. Clardy of st.
Louis, former member of Congress. W. L.

of the city are justified In raising the price
of bread too cents a loaf retail.
Mr.. Reeves himself is selling his breao
at cents because. as he says. public opln-
ion is SO much against the increase. But
he is doing this at loss, he asserts. when
he can stand, since he deals largely IN
other articles and does not depend on Ma
bread sales to make his profits.
Mr. Reeves showed Star reporter papers
that indicated conclusively that he had
paid g. 10 per barrel for -four at wholesale
in April of last year, and stated that nour
ordered by him yesterday. which was of the
same grade and from the same house. was
costing him $40 per barrel.
There is no question about the bak-
ers being justified in their recent action.
he continued. The grocer is naturally
inclined to say that prices are too high
in order that he may sell more -four than
bread, profits on -four being greater than
on bread. The grocers don't care about
the large bakers and are not always fair
to them"

Russian version of the North sea Incident,
upon which the future action of Great
Britain depends cannot be much longer

stage cannot be regarded as having passed
until the character of the Russian explain

which will follow, are presented.
If upon the receipt of Admiral Rojestven-
skys report the Russian government in
communicating Its explanation voluntarily
announces that a searching inquiry Will
be made I'm order to fix the responsibility
and that the offenders will be punished. it
Is not thought Great Britain can reason
ably demand more, inasmuch as Emperor
Nicholas himself has already offered an
apology for the unfortunate affair and has
given assurances that the victims will re-
ceive the fullest compensation.
The admiralty has dispatched swift
ship from Vigo to ascertain whether any
British fishermen are off the Spanish coast
and TO warn Rojestvensky.

1t Is asserted on high authority that En-
peror Nicholas this afternoon received Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's report.

miraity. has gone to Tsarskoe Selo and will

was actually reported that Admiral Chouk-

the latter was in bad health but the an
nouncement now that Rojestvensky's recall
and suppression have already been decided
