He replied that a rate has been in eff

Afternoon Session.
]. B. Hutchinson, assistant to Second
Vice President Pugh. was the first witness
of the afternoon session.
He was asked as to conditions during
the period of the anthracite strike and
Immediately following. He said that
owing to the congestion the Importantly
from mining companies was very great.
In some cases the railroad management
learned that companies were ordering
more cars than they required. and after
loading them, allowed them to stand on
the siding. In cases of this kind the
railroad compelled the coal companies to
unload the cars and release them.
Mr.. Glasgow then read a number of
kilograms to Division Superintendent
O'Donnell, ordering special assignments
of cars to the Berwind-W White company.
The orders were issued by ]. NJ Wallace,
at that time general superintendent of
the railroad
Mr. Hutchinson said he had never
issued an order for special assign
ment. regardless of other companies.

Railroad.
WITNESSES ARE TESTIFYING

Philadelphia, May 24-Addtional evil
dence of discrimination by the Pennsyi-
vania railroad in the distribution of cars
in the soft coal field was reported to the
interstate commerce commission today.
John Lloyd, a banker and coal operator
at Altoona, who is one of the members
of the banking firm of Cassatt e. Co.,
testified that the Columbia Coal company
was forced to sell the Alexandria mine
because of the shortage of cars, and
George e. Scott of the Puritan & Cres-
cent Coal companies declared that he paid
for the use OF railroad cars when he
failed to secure his allotment and dur
ing period of twenty-three days the
railroad had furnished him with only
one car. He also asserted that Michael
Trump, general superintendent of trans.
portation, had told him the company had
intended to protect the Berwind- White
company at all hazard.
During the time that Mr.. Lloyd was
on the stand counsel for the commission
made persistent efforts to force an admis-
sion that he had been associated in a
business way with President Cassatt Mr..
Lloyd however, said that his only rela-
tons with Mr.. Cassett were through Cas-
satt x Co., with whom President Cassatt
carried a personal bank account. The
railroad company had for many years been
depositor with the First National bank
Of Altoona of which Mr. Lloyd Is presi-
dent. Mr.. Lloyd gave testimony con-
corning the organization of various min
ing companies in which he is interested,
stating that he considered IL good BUSH
ness policy to have railroad men among
the stockholders of the coal companies.

Receives Severe Wound.

Grandvile Backus, colored, nineteen years
of age, was cut with knife this morning
about IL o'clock while in the vicinity OF
Ohio avenue and 10Th street, receiving a
long cash across the neck. The surgeons al
the Emergency Hospital found it necessary
to put seven stitches in the wound.
He was taken to the hospital in the first
precinct patrol wagon. At the time he was
placed in the wagon blood was streaming
from the wound in his neck and the police
feared he had been seriously wounded. The
surgeons at the hospital. however found
that there nothing serious about his
condition. and he was able to leave the hos
pital when the surgeons had finished their
work.
Backus. whose home is at 456 C street
southwest, told the police that he was
standing near 18th street and Ohio avenue
when he became involved in an argument
with three other men. One of them, he said
drew a knife and cut him. The three men
then disappeared. He furnished descrip-
tons of the men and the police are looking
for them.
