The proceedings were solemn, sad and

tors surprised a juror by asking what
necessity there was to adjourn the in
quest for a fortnight. No answer was
given. The delay is believed to be due
TO the declared intention of the board
of trade to institute an investigation.

Heads to Come Off.

The report emphasizes the statement
that investigation will be made of every
report of failure in the performance of mis-
duty of an officers or employee of the
company, or the performance by the COM
pany of its duties to the public; that its
conclusions will be reported to the presi-
dent of the company in the confident as
surance that every officer or employee
found to have failed in the performance of
his duty will be properly dealt with
The report in conclusion says that in its
early history the great problem for the
company was development of industrial
enterprises in its territory, and officers
and employees were encouraged TO invest
in those enterprises, as otherwise it would
have been difficult to induce other people
to invest Today the problem is to provide
adequate facilities for the business of the
country Under the conditions of to-
day," says the report. 1T is essential that
all of the officers and employees should be
absolutely free TO discharge their duties
coal trade as an illustration. the keen
competition of today requires every Off
Ger and employee of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company to part with an investment
which he has in the shares of any coal
producing company, and also to part with
anv interest which he has in or with any
firm or individual mining company on
anv of the lines of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road system, and every officer and en-

reasonable preferences in the distribution
of coal cars, or in the construction of
sidings. Despite the public impression to
the contrary derived from the frag-
mentary publications of the evidence in
the newspapers, the testimony of the wit
nesses examined before the commission
does not prove that there have been in
fact any undue or unreasonable prefer
enees either in the distribution of coal
cars or in the construction of sidings."

Taken Out for Exercise.

For the first time since his imprisOn-
ment a week ago. Thaw was permitted TO
exercise in the open air today. With
about forty other prisoners he was taken
to the court yard of the prison and to-
gether they walked around the elliptical
track around the sides of the yard The
west side was shady and the east side
sunny. After two laps Thaw found the
sun too hot and dropped out and sought a
shady corner. Later he again entered
the line and made a few more laps, but
soon asked permission of the guards TO
stay in the shady spot for the rest of the
exercise time. 1t is likely that Thaw' S
request was not so much due to the ia
tigue or Discrimination to stay in the
sun as to the fact that the windows of
every sky-scraper around the prison were
filled from the fourth story up with peo-
pie armed with field glasses who were
watching the walking prisoners When
he got into the shade of the wall he could
not be seen by these curious ones.

No Effort Made to Discover the

BODIES BEING EMBAL MED

Salisbury, July 2.-The embalmers

majority of the bodies of the score
of Americans who lost their lives IN
the wreck of the Plymouth express
Sunday morning will be prepared for
their return for burial in the land they
left so recently in the fullness of life

already has been forwarded to London
on its way to America.

Records Alone Will Show.

The committee says it has received re-
plies from all officers and employees hav-
ing charge of the distribution of cars to
inquiries made by the committee regard
ing car distribution but until the COM
panies' records of the daily movement OF
cars can be examined the committee will
be unable to know whether the distribu-
ton of cars varied from the rules govern
ing the same. Expert investigation of the
companies daily reports and other rec
ords of car distribution has been under
taken.
The committee calls attention to many
difficulties encountered in the distribution
of cars. and says:
There must be fair system of pro
rata distribution, but whatever the sys-
tenn there will inevitably come periods
when the demand for cars will exceed
the supply of cars, because of increased
market prices, sometimes caused by
weather. sometimes by suddenly increased
industrial DEVELOPMENT.

Question of Priority.

Under such conditions priority must be
given. first TO shippers who furnish coal
TO the companies engaged, and next to
those whose fulfillment of contracts will
keep other railroads in operation. prevent
municipalities from being left in dark
ness, or enable steamships 70 sail, etc. Ii
is not to be assumed without proof that
any special order was issued by any Off
Ger from any improper motive. On the
contrary the reasonable presumption is
that every such order was issued only
because of a sufficient business neces-
sity."
The report says that the question of
privately owned coal cars is not a new
question. nor one which admits of an Off
hand solution The greater part of the
coal tonnage of England is moved today
in privately owned cars. The use of such
cars on the Pennsylvania lines is peculiar
to a few favored shippers. They have
been used from the beginning of coal
transportation.

Conference With Counsel.

Former Judge Olcott of counsel for
Thaw spent nearly the entire afternoon
in the prison in consultation with his
client Much of the time was spent in
going over letters which have been re-
ceived by Thaw since his Imprisonment
many of the writer's declare themselves
ready to disclose certain information con-
corning Thaws victim which they think
may be of use to the defense. More than
half hundred letters were received by
the prisoner today. and fully half of these
were deemed to be of sufficient impor-
lance to demand consideration by his
counsel.

there were only two parts in the general

Tho DOGS TONGUE.

At last German professor has
tackled the important question why
dog let's his tongue hang out of
his mouth when he is hot To be
sure, many years ago Limnaeus
seems to have pondered this prob
lem but he disposed of the matter
altogether too flippantly by saying;
viz sudat, calidus linguam exserit,
thus simply indorsing the vulgar be-
lief that dogs perspire altogether
with their tongue. Professor Dahl
has no use for such a shallow ex-
PLANTATION. He points out, in the Ma
turwissenschaftliche Wochenscrift
Ca name to make any dog howl),
that it is not true that dogs do not
perspire with their skins; they ac-
tually do SO, although the perspira-
ton does not form in drops, as in
the case of a horse. The professor
admits that the escape of moisture
on dogs tongue does help to cool
him, but maintains that there is a
deeper reason for the prOtruding
tongue in the painting animal. When
a dog is at rest he breathes through
his nose; but after violent exercise
he needs more air than can pass
through his nostrils, and must there
fore breathe through the mouth. This
however, is, on account of the forma-
ton of the tongue, possible only if
he lets it hang out of the mouth.
But why did not wise Nature widen
the dogs nostrils, after the fashion
of the horses? For this question,
too, our professor has an answer.
The dogs principal sense is the sense
of smell, which, to be at it's best,
requires nostrils precisely like those
given to the dog.-New York Even

Onions for Grin.

The free use of onions as grippe
germ destroyer is borne out by re-
suits In a Jersey family last year
the whole family seemed to have
been taken down at once by unusual
ly violent manifestations of that dis
ease. All went to bed save the
Swedish kitchen maid, who was just
crawling about with frequent drops
down on the couch before she could
go en- again. Meanwhile an Italian,
who had been sent to do some re-
pairing in the house, appeared, but
was told that it was impossible to
have anything done as all were sick.
When told what the matter was.
Eat onions" he said; Eat all time
No like? Eat just same. Onion!
onion! onion!" The Swedish girl
took his advice, though usually
averse to onions, and after a day
was able to throw of the disease, go
ON with her work and care for the
rest of the family, who had no faith
in the onion cure.-Weekly Witness.

Nor care for winds, or tide, or sea:
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For loi my own shall come to me.
stay my haste, l make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my

Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if 1 stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has
sown,
And garner up its fruits of tears.
The waters know their own, and
The brook that springs in yonder

So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor
high,
Can keep my own away from me.
