DENOUNCE r.. r.. EMPLOYEES
Commuters Tell Railroad Comnis-
sion N. Y. c. Men Are Incompetent.

The State Board OF Railroad Commissioners
yesterday took up the hearing OF the complaint
Of commuters using the Harlem branch Of the
New York Central Railroad against the alleged
abuses in the use Of passes by the employees TO
the detriment Of passengers.
John u. Clairemont. Of The Bronx. told Of be-
ing on train No 53s Monday afternoon, when
forty trainmen holding passes were assembled
in q coach ehirty-eight Of them occupying seats
while large number OF passengers who had
paid their fares were standing. MI Clairemont
said that he had appealed to Hopper, the con-
ductor, 20 relieve the situation but was an
swcred only with smile.
Acting Chairman Aldridse said that the sub
ject would receive the immediate attention Of
the board.
Then the long delayed hearing Of the COM
plaInt of the commuters against the service OF
the Harlem branch Of the system was begun
William H. Sage. an attorney. Of Scarsdale.
appeared for the commuters Mr.. Sage said
that complaints had been made 10 the State
Board. 20 the Attorney General and even 20 the
Governor but that nothing had been done. He
told the members Of the board that II would
have been at least courteous on the part Of the
board 20 have listened to the complaints. 1T

Mr. Sage "and at a time when the situation has
been somewhat improved. At that former time

and financial losses 10 those doing business in

WILL LIVE 1T PANAMA.
Commission WW Become More
Largely Administrative.

washington. March 12-After the reorganization
OF the Isthmian Canal Commission with Lieuten-
ant Colonel Goethals as chairman. it is probable
that all seven Of the canal commissioners will live
on the isthmus and the commission will become
more Of an administrative body than II was under
Chairman Shonts. Under Mr.. shonts the commits
sloners were advisory rather than executive off,
Gals They were consulted engineering prob
lens. and in some cases administrative policy.
but the authority to direct affairs largely
tired In the chairman.
1t is probable that the reorganization of the COM
mission will not be completed until after Secretary
Tafts visit to the isthmus late this month With
out intimate knowledge OF exact conditions the
isthnus 1t is difficult to determine exactly how the
commission work 10 the best advantage and
the Secretary of War has no desire to outline the
policy definitely until Lieutenant Colonel Goethals
and the army engineers who assisting him have
had opportunity to become familiar with con-
Gitions the isthmus.

NAVAL POWDER SUPPLY.
Defects Hare Not Made Ammuni-
fion Dangerous or Weak.
Iron The Tribune Buresu-I

Washington, March 12.-Rear Admiral Mason.
naval chief of ordnance. and other ordnance ex-
perts in the Navy Department say there is moth
ing OF a sensational nature affecting the naval
service and its store OF ammunition on account
Of the disclosures at the Ladin-Rand powder
works regarding defective powder manufact-
ured under contract for the navy. Representa-
tives Of the contractors appear TO have discoV-
cred tho defect and reported IL TO the Navy De-
paTtment, following up that incident with the
discharge Of certain employees, including the
company chemist, who is well known TO ord
nance officers
The so-called defects IN the powder. so far as
they are made known 10 the Washington au-
thoritieE, are OF great importance, ana are
looked upon by the bureau OF ordnance as easy
Of correction. It IS not believed that the short
coHnings Of the powder are at all extensive or
that they render the service supply or amnuni-
Giosl in any degree inefficient or dangerous
Admiral Mason is emphatic IN declaring mat
there IS not any bad powder on any American
Tvsrship The powder which was technically de-
fective did not lack stability, according TO naval
officers, and not dangerous to handle.
Neither was II lacking in ballistic qualities but
a failed TO meet contract specifications IN other
respects. Immediately after the Navy Depart
Knent was advised by the company Of the failure
OF The powder TO meet specifications inyestiga-
ton was begun. but so far the department has
found nothing which reflects on the manufact-
urers, who doing all IN their power to make
good the shortcomings OF the employees.

CARRYING ON INQUIRIES
Corporations Bureau Investigating
MGny Big Industries.


Washington, March 12-There will be no
change in the policy of the bureau Of corpora
tons and no break in the continuity OF lts Work
under the administration Of the new Commis-
sioner OF Corporations. Herbert Knox smith,
who succeeded James r. Garfield on March +.
Mr.. Smith, assistant commissioner, perforheu
many Of the important duties Of the bureau
when Mr.. Garfield was at its head. and IN al
things he and Mr. Garfield were in thorough
sympathy. so that he is especially wen quar-
flied to carry on the important work when the
President and Congress have intrusted to H.
The bureau has under way investigations OF
the OIL industry Of the country. only the reoa'-
ing features which the first stages OF the IN
quiry revealed having been turned over 10 Ihe
Department OF Justice; Of the tobacco lnouslI'
the iron and steel industry and the coast"lse
steamship and canal industry These nVest-
cations. il Is hoped, Will give geneTai hiio"i
edge which will prove OF the utmost Nalue ~
the government whenever the President finds
1t necessary to recommend. or Congress 10
enact, legislation affecting any of these inouS-
tries. The primary purpose Of the investigations
is not to unearth trusts or to discover erouhH
for criminal prosecutions. although should the
bureau discover indications OF violation OF '1e
law the data secured viii be promptly SUD
mitted TO the Attorney General to be made tHo
basis of such action as his discretion may uio@
tate.
The bureau of corporations has however
several special investigations imposed upon II
by Congress which presumably were proposed
by their promoters because of the beheI tla'
they would reveal situations which called Tor
remedial action, either through the courts OF
through legislative enactment
The special Investigations ordered oy CoiIstesS
incIuds those In the lumber industry, the inter-
national Harvester Company, the cotton eN-
changes of New York and New orleans anu 'llo
ownership by government officials OF patents Oh

along which the work shall be conducted
The directness of the governments methoos
Of investigating a trust have long been source
Of surprise 10 those familiar with them' Inc
agents OF the bureau of corporations usually
begin their inquiry by appealing for lnforIna-
tion directly to the men engaged in the indus
try under investigation. and the frankness with
which their interrOgations are answered is al
most amazing. OF course in some instances
men whose business is under investigation at
tempt either TO fend off the interrogator or at
least TO misead him by concealing more or
less OF the truth. but such subterfuges almost
invariably como to light when information from
franker sources is used as a basis Of compari-
son and the extent TO which the bureau gets
at the bottom Of the questions II is called
upon 10 investigate is remarkable as II is
| creditable.
