FREIGHT CARS IN
BIG TERMINALS
Difficult to Rescue Them, and DELAYS
There Cause Car Shortage
Methods Of the Penn
sylvana.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec 23---In It's
efforts to provide sufficient cars to
supply the demands OF shippers on it's
lines, the Pennsylvania railroad has
paid great attention to the problem
of getting cars out Of terminals as
rapidly as possible, for there IS where
the principal delays ou vi. The audit
at the Baltimore terminal for Septem.
Der 27th showed that the cars sent
out on that date had been in the ter.
minal an average Of S.S6 days On Oc,
tober / this was reduced to 6.97, and
on October rs to 5.95 DAYS. The North
Philadelphia yards on September 9Th
showed a detention OF G4l days on
October 11th 572 days and on Octo
Der 18th. OJS.
In Pittsburg where there is usually
the greatest congestion and the
freight most diff cult to move, August
10th showed detention Of S.l9 days
August 30th G.G5 days, September
18th COG, October 4th, $50, October
l1th $50 and October 25th, Cos days.
Ano her element which has con
t:ibuted to the facilitation of move
ment has been the rule that box cars
shall be loaded full, doing away with
the movement of cars regardless OF
tonnage. This means little delay to
an individual shipper. but 1t means
a much greater convenience to all
shippers
The Penn ylvania Lines east have
appointed a committee of twenty EN-
ployes to expedite the repair of cars,
so that all cars needing repair will b.
out Of service the shortest possible
time. The committee consists OF mas.
ter mechanics, superintendent OF
motive power, train masters, yard
masters. and even assistant yari
masters. The Altoona onice reported
on October 29th th> epalrng of H..
004 cars in all the freigh, Shops of the
companies east and west, the largest
days work Of It's knd ever done ex
cept on October LIT when the figure
was f2,0G5.
While II Is true that even with the
extraordinary precautions that have
been taken there Is still a great de-
mand for additional cars on parts of
the Pennsylvania System, the fact
should be noted that the traffic has
been so rcpulgated that all the actual
demands for the necessities of life
have been met, anu no; one on the
ystem suffering because Of the
ack of ears; only Inconvenience has
jcen felt by shippers ana consignees,

PRESIDENT ON HAZING.
Recommends Restoration of Three
Dismissed MidsaiDmen.

Washington, May S-Three midshipmen dismissed
from the Naval Academy for hazlng have been
recommended by the President for restoration to
the academy with loss OF one year. The mid
shipmen are Worth W. Foster. a member Of the
first class. and George n. Melvin and Richard L
Desaussure. members Of the third class.
President Roosevelt to-day sent TO Senator Hale
and Representative FOss. chairrnen OF the Senate

cal letter, accompanying the draft Of a bill pro-
viding for the restoration the academy OF the
three noshipmen. In his letter the President says

Secretary Of the Navy and the President in the
disciplinary administration of the Naval Academy,

this statute Of April 8, 1906, which may be con-
sdered as giving the present views Of the Congress
In the matter, they would have been appropriately
punished by reduction TO the next lower class, as
provided in the inclosed bill. The punishment OF
these young men in such manner would be ample;
tt would be in accordance with the spirit Of the
new enactment on the subject, and would be
wise and discriminating act Of Justice preserving
20 them the career Of their choice and to the navy
their much needed services for which they are in
part, trained. therefore commend the measure
TO favorable consideration by the committee.
It has been deemed advisable to provide the
proposed bill that when they re-enter the academy
these young men shall be treated as additional to
the number Of midshipmen now authorized by law.

The American scientists interested in this
