Railroad Business is Good.

The idea that business conditions during
the past year have not been satisfactory.
and especially among the railroads and
other transportation lines, seems to be dis
proved by the annual statement of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company for
the fiscal year just closed. The statement.
which has not as yet been made public.
will show an increase in gross earnings for
the year Of little less than S2,5O0G00 an
average Increase OF 5000 for each working
day over the gross receipts OF last year.
Mr.. Fuller. the general passenger agent
OF the company in Washington, stated TO a
reporter for The Star that business pros
poets appear very bright for the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, and that he anticipates
the earnings for the next year will be kept
up to the high standard of the past twelve
months. The company. he said, is doing a
good worlds fair traffic, and that Will
cause the passenger department TO make
an excellent showing for the next fiscal
year. and that the general freight situation
is favorable for average earnings.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Of late years
has become one of the great carriers OF
coal from the south where the increased
transportation facilities have caused a cor
responding increase in output OF coal.

SEEKS HIS FREEDOM.
John Maestros Alleges Unlawful De.
tention in Asylum.

John Maestros, through Attorneys Lam
bert & Baker, has petitioned the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia for a
writ of habeas corpus, the object being to
secure his release from the Government
Hospital for the Insane.
The petition was presented to Justice
Wright who directed that the writ issue
returnable Tuesday morning, July u
Until about two years ago. Maestros eX-
plains, he was seaman in the United
States navy, and then he was incarcerated
in the Government Hospital for the Insane.
After being treated for a year he was dis
charged from the asylum, but was en-
plOyed by the officers there as an oiler
Continuing, the petitioner says an attempt
was made to again incarcerate him. SO he
left the institution and went to Maryland,
being employed in that state by Andrew
Alexander. While working In Maryland, 1t
is added, Maestros was unlawfully
seized by certain officers of the asylum
upon a pretended writ on the part of the
Secretary Of the Navy, under section 4S43,
Revised Statutes of the United States" and
Is now detained by the superintendent of
the Government Hospital for the Insane
Maestros contends that he does not come
under section 4S43, In that he has adequate
means of support, and that as he was long
since discharged from the navy the Secre-
tary of the Navy has no authority over
him. Therefore, the petitioner AYERS. the
of the Government Hospital
for the Insane is without authority to de-
tain him.
