over the horizon dipping down,
Bearing many shining crown

Hearts their patient vigils keep,
Loving hearts the ships who wait
For their precious human freight,
And whose thoughts. like bird wings oriBhSs

PRESIDENT BAER
in HEARST INQUIRY
President Of the Philadelphia
and Reading Declares Tie
Up Was Not Intended.
-(By Assoclat ed Press.l


NEW YORK May 24-The interstate
Commerce Commission to-day renewed It's
inquiry into the anthracite coal tradA
based on the complaint OF w. Il. Hearst
against tho Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company and other coal car
riets. The first witness called was Prcsi-
dent Baer, OF the Philadelphia and Read
ing.
On April 4th the Supreme Court of the
United States decided that Hearst's at
torney Clarence j. Shearn, had the right
to demand answers to his questions re-
lating to the contracts between the rail-
roads and operators, by which contracts.
1t Is alleged, the coal trust will be es-
tablished az fact and will BIO proved to
exist, in violation OF the Sherman anti
trust law, Mr.. Baer was asked to pro-
duce these contracts, which he did.
Allegation that the carriers purposely
tied UP coal traffic in winter or failed to
furnish cars to collleries have no founda-
tlon In fact. said Mr.. Baer. There was
freight congestion last winter to de-
gree not known In many years. and It
was due to physical conditions. He con-
tinued: "The Lord. though 1t may shock
you, Mr.. Shearn, was responsible for
that. 1t was one of the things over
which we had no control"
