President Stiekney Gives His Views Relative to Cause and Cure of
 Present Car Shortage

Washington. Dec. 22-President A. Stickney of the Chicago Great West tern railroad, has submitted some in' teresting facts to the interstate com merce commission bearing on the distance travelled and the time con sumed in hauling and in loading and unloading freight cars, which he re' cards of importance in connection with any legislation which may pc considered regarding the car snort age question In arriving at his con clusions. MT. Stickney bases his es- timating on the entire freight car ca pacity of the country.
 They are as follows:
 The average distance each loaded freight car is hauled is 25o miles.
 The average time consumed by tae railways in hauling is one day--zs hours.
 The average time consumed by shippers and consignees in loading and unloading each car is nine days PIG hours. T,
 MT. stickney then makes the fol lowing comment:
 "If the law or any other power can compel shippers to load and unload each average car in l-2 days Y would be equivalent to doubling in' simultaneously the effectiveness oi tne freight equipment of the railways in effect adding to such equipment TOO. 900 cars without cost to the raii- wavs and without increasing their capitalization, while to purchase that number of new cars would cost the railways and add to their capitaliza- ion inc enormous sum of sl ,s6o' 'o'o,- oOo which at per cent. would aaa ,a to their annual charges 4o4.oVo'0o0 to he collected from the people

THE FIRST AIR BRAKE.
what IL Did when westinghou

Persons who should have known bet
ter thought Westinghouse visionary
when they were told that he proposed
20 stop a train by air. Nobody SEEM
cd inclined TO let him try his plan on
a real train. but they did not object to
his working model OF II I'm n shop
where he couldn't DO any harm or In
volve anybody else in expense. He
knew his scheme would work. but he
could not make any one else believe Il.
SO ne continued to sell his invention
for replacing derailed cars on the
tracks and 10 talk about hi brake to
any railroad man who was willing to
listen.
well, have you ever stopped train
with this air thing of yoursT' they
would ask.
No. he couldn't say that he had done
so. Nobody would let him try IL even
on train of dump cars.
One day he arrived in Pittsburg, sell
ing his other invention and talking
about his brake notion to a man con-
nected with a railroad out there.
That's a great idea Of yours" said
the man. I'VE viii try 1t on our line"
SO the officials of this railroad per-
mitted westinghouse to put his new
''kickshaw" on one OF their trains.
But he had to- agree to indemnify the
road for any damage that might be
caused to the train as the result Of the
trials. The train was equipped. On
the designated day the confident In
ventor and n group Of skeptlcal rail-
way men boarded the train on which
the first air brakes were fixed. on
went the train on It's trial trip. The en-
gineer put on full speed. and just as
he had rounded curve he saw ahead,

Of the track. n loaded wagon, n man
and boy and a ballSy horse. The en-
gineer moved his little lever. and the
first train that was ever stopped by
air pulled UP at 4 standStill several
feet short Of the obstruction.
Thus, on It's first trial. the Westing-
house air brake saved life and prevent
ed damage to property. ThencefOrward
talking was unnecessary; all that had
to be done was to make brakes. The
inventor thought of that clause secur-
ing compensation to the railroad for
any damage he might do to the train,
and he laughed. His fortune dated
from that day. He was then only
