RAILWAY INQUIRY is RESUMED
Witness Tells Of Allowances Made to
Certain Coal Concerns.

Witness Tells OF Allowances Made to
Certain Coal Concerns.
Philadelphia, May 26.-R. H. Large,
assistant coal freight agent Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, was the first
witness before the interstate COM
merce commission Friday. He was
questioned concerning coal tariffs from
the bituminous region to Harsimus
pier at Jersey City. Counsel for the
commission read a clause in the tariff
.sehedule to the effect that the railroad
has no facilities at the pier and asked
Mr.. Large II that meant that the pier
has been leased to the Berwind-W White
Coal company. The witness said he
understood the land had been leased
to the Berwind-White company and
that the pier had been built by the
coal company. He admitted that it
was operated only by the Berwind-
White company and any other COM
pany wishing to discharge coal at
Harsimus would be compelled to se-
cure the consent of the Berwind- White
company. He had no knowledge of
any other company ever having used
the pier
Allowances to Coal Companies.
Witness was then questioned con-
corning allowances made by the Penn
sylvania railroad to coal companies
which operated spurs or branch lines
from their mines to the main line of
the railroads. He said an allowance
of ten cents ton was given to the
Wildwood Coal company for this serv-
ice, the La craftsmanship Coal 8
Coke company received an allowance
of IL cents and the Glen White an al
loWance or ID cents ton for similar
service.
Attorney Glasgow asked the witness
II 1t was not a fact that for IL years
prior to 1902 this allowance was made
to the La Trobe-C onnellsville CON-
pany when that company had no en-
gines of it's own and the spur was
operated by the railroad.
Mr.. Large had no knowledge on the
subject, but J. 9. Searles, general coal
freight agent, who was sitting close to
the witness, told the commission that
such was the case and that it was
after 1902 when the railroad learned
the ceal company had no engines.

for Reakirk Brothers Il Co., mine
operators, testified that the business
OF the company had been practically
ruined through inability to secure
cars. From 400 cars in 1901 the sup
ply was reduced gradually to 522 In
1905. The witness said that at one
period his company was compelled to
sell coal that cost s1.4s to produce as
low as $1.05 in order to keep the min
ers at work. The mines, he said, had
been operated at loss for the past
two years and a half He had COM

PROMOTION RECOMMENDED.
Henry Storey at Head Of District De.
partment of Repairs.

Inspector Ashford of the building depart
ment recommended to the Commissioners
today the appointment of Henry Storey,
assistant inspector of buildings, to the posi-
ton of superintendent of repairs of the
District, which place was made vacant last
week by the sudden death Of Griffin B.
Coleman. Mr.. Storey has been in the Dis
trict service for several years and Is pos
sessed of a thorough mechanical knowl-
edge, which requirement is necessary to fill
the place for which he Is named. The Com
missoners will act upon the recommended
ton tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Ashford has suggested that in the
event of the promotion of Mr. Storey that
A. NJ. Proctor, at present an employe of
the building office, be promoted to the place
vacated by Storey. He also recommended
that the Commissioners transfer the office
of the superintendent of repairs to the super
vision of the building inspector, in view of
the fact that the work of the two offices
are so closely affiliated.

Wells and Veil Pins.

Veil pins have now been added to the
long list of expensive triies that 60 to
complete the modish feminine toilet
Usually they are narrow bars Of gold, set
with small stones harmoniZing with the
veil and hat Pearl settings are, however,
much admired and wrought gold pins
without gems are also popular.
Three of these pins. at least are required
for the proper adjustment of the fash
ionable lace veil, which, as winter ap-
proaches, is no longer permitted to float
unrestrained to the four winds of heaven.
one fastens its upper edge to the brim of
the hat in front another secures 1t at the
back and the third is utilized to catch the
ends together and fasten them to the hair
at the back of the neck. Occasionally,
when the brim of the hat is wide and sew
eral pins are needed to drape the veil eff
fectively, fancy stick pins are used to min
1t TO the hat, but the bar pin is invariably
requisitioned for securing it to the hair In
the back
There is a certain knack in the correct
draping of veil which not every woman
possesses, but at least every woman should
know that the lace veil must always be so
arranged that the border comes below the
chin. or, at any rate, below the mouth. In
front 1t is allowed to fall loosely away
from the face. but in the back 1t is always
caught to the hair in the manner described.
The chiffon veil which will be the favor
lite face covering during the cold weather
is primarily intended for a protection from
wind and dust. 1t is therefore pinned
securely around the brim of the hat drawn
close to the face. and fastened at the back
in the approved mode. If the veil Is a
long one the ends are then crossed over
and drawn around the throat. being either
knotted softly at the side caught to
the coat with another fancy pin.
A net veil is first pinned to the front
of the hat. then disposed over the face
without fullness wrinkles, and finally
drawn closely under the chin and fastened
to the back hair Immediately above the
collar with a bar pin. The loose ends in
the back are then tucked neatly under
and pinned down the length of the hair,
either with invisible hairpns or fancy laco
pins. When the veil is dotted one par
ticular care is taken to avoid having a dot
come over the mouth or the tip of the nose,
since 1t amounts in either place to an ac-
tual Disagreement.

HAlLSTORM AT FLAGLER.
Considerable Damage Done in Kit
Carson County.

Denver,-Pelted by hailstones fully
rs large as hens eggs, several of the
passengers of the incoming Rock Isl
and train last night escaped serious in
jury only by budding together in the
Isles of the cars, says the News of
Tuesday morning. The storm overlook
the passenger train at Flagler, Colo
RADIO, between Denver and LimOn, and,
perforating all of the windows on the
eastern side of the train, fiIled the cars
with hailstones to the depth of several
Inches.
When the train arrived in Denver
last night shortly after 10 o'clock every
window on one side of the train was
broken as the result of the terrific hail
storm which It encountered shortly
after leaving Limon. The hailstones
were blown by a fierce gale against
the sides of the cars. The window
glass was as paper before the lombard
ment, and every glass in one side of
the train was shattered within n few
moments after the storm was encoun-
tered
Passengers sitting on The eastern
side of the train rushed for protection
to the other side of the cars. But still
the large hailstones pelted them, and
many were bruised by the contact with
the frozen globules. The storm lasted
about ten minutes.
The damage to crops in that portion
of the state is said to be exceedingly
heavy. Hailstones are said to have
lain on the railroad track to the depth
of six inches after the fury of tho
storm had passed Trains were de-
layed on all roads running through that
portion of the state, and the Rock
Island arrived nearly one hour late.
