Much Information wanted.

Philadelphia Record.
Never before did railroad officers have so
many questions fired at them. Under a
congressional resolution the Interstate
Commerce commission is getting ready to
investigate them and has demanded of
them information of the things they ought
to be investigated about, and two sets Of
subpoena servers are haunting the Penn
sylvania railroad Offices to summon the
officials TO appear in court and tell all
about the corporations relations to the
coal business. Railroads will have to es-
tablish information bureaus to attend to
the heterogeneous addressed TO them.

JOINT CAUCUS FOR ORGANIzArn

JOINT CAUCUS FOR ORGANIZATION
The initiation by the united republican
membership of the senate and the house
of organization for this years political
contest is reminder that that contest
is at hand and i'm fact has already be-
gun. The congressional elections COM
plicated with the election Of state legis-
latures which choose One-third Of the
membership Of the United States senate,
occurring midway in a presidential term,
are always considered as really OF
scarcely less importance than a presi-
dental election itself. The republican
party. which carried the last presiden-
tial election is now up to the serious
test Of a resubmission to the people In
the several congressional districts and
in the states which this year elect
United States senators. and It is not too
soon for the party, as wen as its repre-
sentatives at Washington, to make
ready.
In any event the question of organiza.
ton is OF great Importance, but as
Speaker Cannon admOnished the repub.
lican joint caucus the question of actual
record and present purpose is Of far
greater Importance. Very much depends
upon what congress shall yet accomplish
at the present session. The fact re-
mains that the masses are as earnestly
with President Roosevelt for the policies
he represents AS they were a year ago

DOLBEER CASE SET
FOR NEXT WEEK.
Contest of Will Involv-
ing Millions Is to Be
Heard by Judge Coffey

Horatfo Schan6er will commence his
contest for the Bertha Dolbeer millions
in the Superior Court next Thursday
morning. All of the preliminary skir-
mishing is practically ended and Pre-
siding Judge Graham postponed the
case yesterday in order that it may be
heard by Judge Coffey, who decided the
first contest in favor of Eta Marion
Warren, one of the principal devisees.
The contest itself was begun some
time ago, but Incidental matters have
necessitated delays. A week ago Rob-
ert p. Lee was appointed commits
sioner to take the dispositions of certain
witnesses in New York. The attorneys
appeared in court yesterday and an
nounced that the questions to be asked
had been agreed upon. They also asked
for further postponement in order
that the questions might be answered
and the depositions returned.
I'VE have no desire to interpose an
objection at this time said Garret Nc
Enerney. who is one of the attorneys
for Mrs. Warren. I'VE will allow the
matter to go over now, but it is with
the direct understanding that we will
oppose the right of Schander to have
any depositions taken"
Judge Graham then postponed the
case and instructed all witnesses to be
present without further notice next
Thursday. at which time the trial will
be taken up. Schander will ask for
jury trial and this will also be op-
posed
