w, A. Turk.

The Black Diamond Express month :
~ for May, which is published by the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, is just out.
and it frontispiece is a splendid picture
OF the late VIM. A. Turk, Passenger
Traffic Manager of the Southern, and
a beautiful tribute to his memory. We
reproduce the tribute below:
WILLIAM A. TURK.
BORN NOVEMBER 18TH, 1850.
DIED APRIL 9TH, 1904.
"rhe gentlest are the bravest;
The loving are the daring.''
When the hand of Providence cnts
short in the very zenith of his career of
usefulness, such a man az the one whose
death it is our sad duty to chronicle,
We are somewhat prone to forget that,
here, we see as through glass darkly,
and judging by our feeble sense, to
question the Justice of the decree.
William A. Turk was born in Au-
gusta county, Virginia, educated at
Roanoke College, in the same State,
and in 1877 entered the transportation
service of the Richmond Railroad as
travelling passenger agent.
Iu 1882, after some five years. ser.
vice, he was promoted to the position
of general Southwestern passenger agent,
and one year thereafter to assistant
general freight and passenger agent in
charge of the Western North Carolina
division. In 1887 be became division
freight and passenger agent in charge
of the main line division from Char
lotte to GoldsborO, North Carolina, and
four years later general passenger agent
of the entire service of the Richmond
& Danville system.
In June. 1894. he was selected to fill
the most important position of general
passenger agent of the vast Southern
Railway system, of which the Rich
mond & Danville had become part,
and at the same time he was made gen.
eral passenger agent of the Alabama
Great Southern Railway; On the first
of January, 1901, he became assistant
passenger traffic manager of the same
roads, and of the Northern Alabama,
and year thereafter he was advanced
to the position of passenger traffic man.
ager of the same lines, which office be
held until death struck him down al
his post.
Than Mr.. Turk, no man in railway
circles was more widely known, and
none more universally beloved.
He was Southern gentleman of the
highest type, big, brainy, strong, mas
terful, courageous. AS honest as the
sun, and as truthful as the pole star
OF gigantic frame and heroic mould
yet as gentle as woman and as lovablt
as child.
With good word for every one and
without an enemy in The world, lightly
may the sod lie upon bis gallant breast
Peace to his ashes! Long will those
who knew him keep his memory green

HOW CORPORATIONS EVADE THE
LAWS.

The United States Supreme Court
has recently decided that Mr.. Roberts,
president of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road, must answer certain questions
prOpounded by the Interstate Com.
merce Commission regarding the fix
ing of coal rates. 1t may not be gen.
orally known. but it is fact, that the
government has created a commission
to enquire into violations of the Inter-
state Commerce laws and that it has
given the commission little or no
power to obtain evidence. A witness
need not answer and the commission
cannot imprisOn him for contempt,
but the questions must be submitted
to the Supreme Court, and before the
case gets back from that tribunal the
necessity for the answers has probably
disappeared. This amounts to a de-
NAL of Justice. Often has Congress
been asked to give the commission
some power. But no. Why has power
been denied? Because the trusts are
so powerful in Congress that they do
not intend to allow any one to enquire
into thesr affairs. The Republican
party in Congress has had years in
which to amend this law so as to make
it effective, but in amending it they
have taken away rather than added to
the power of the commission to obtain
information and punish offenses. The
Elkins amendment made the penalty
a fine, striking out imprisonment as it
was before. Railroads or trusts gen.
orally do not care for fines, but the
officers do care Imprisonment, and this
being taken away the laws are practi-
callY Ineffective and will become more
or less obsolete.
