PRESIDENT EMERsoN's PLANT.
Head Of Atlantic Coast Line Says
There's Too Much Railroad Legislation

T. NJ. Emerson, president of the Atlantic
Coast Line. agrees with Mr.. Hartman in
one thing at least and that is that there
has been too much railroad legislation. In
letter to one of the officials of the bureau
of manufactures in this city, he complains
of this condition. The letter was in reply
to inquiry about the construction of
Haines City branch of the road.
Mr.. Emerson said in reply that the rail-
road was unable to say when the work
would be pushed and then cited some Of
the drawbacks it had had to contend with.
He said that in the past two years the road
had spent $1S.OOO,OOO in improvements Of
roadbed and equipment. They had this
year contracted for about $6,0OO,OOO worth
of equipment and bridges. all for delivery
this year. Yet, he complained, the road in
the state of Florida had been fined several
thousand dollars for falling to furnish cars
during the recent freight congestion. this
being in addition to whatever damages
might be collected from the road by pri-
vate shippers Many of the other states,
he said, were threatening to pass laws re-
stricting the prices of freight and passenger
hauling restrictions, he said, which would
in many cases wipe out all of the profit on
the particular business affected. Every
thing the road had to buy, he added, had
advanced from Is to 40 per cent. so that
it was Impossible to say when the company
would be able to embark on any undertake
ing requiring an additional outlay of CAPT.
tai.

MR.. EVANS PRAISED.
High Commentator Bestowed by

Before Secretary Hitchcock retired from

lowing letter to Geo. w. Evans, chief of

my dear Mr.. Evans:
81 duly received your very kind favor of
the 9th ultimo, giving me detailed state
ment of the money appropriated for the
Department of the Interior. its bureaus and

pended, under my supervision and direction
in part by you, as disbursing officer from
January 1, 1899. to December 81. 1908,
amounting to 1877 $40, 319.72. in the dis
bursement of which I note that the United
States has not suffered any loss. every dol
lar having been promptly and properly ac-
counted for in detail.
This, indeed. speaks well for your divi-

full and loyal direction Of the same by you
as its chief, which is but on par with
your long and faithful service to the gov
eminent of over a generation, and Of the
results of which you and yours may well
be proud.
II count myself extremely fortunate in
having a chief Of a division, the RESPONSE

your pathway in life may lead, 1 am

A CAR STAKE CASE.
Hearing Of Lumbermen by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

Hearing was continued in the car stake
case before the interstate commerce COM
mission today. This Is a case that has
been heard several times before. The rail-
roads at the start compelled the lumber
men who shipped lumber on fiat and gon-
dola cars to furnish the stakes to hold the
load on the cars. A special sort of stake
prescribed by the regulations Of the Master
car Builders Association had to be used,
and the railroads added insult to injury. so
the lumbermen said by charging freight on
the stakes that they compelled the lumber
men to furnish. The cost of equippng
cars was about 81, and this ran into an
aggregate of something like $6,0OG,O00 an
nually.
At hearing some months ago the rail-
roads announced that they would remit the
freight on the stakes, but the lumbermen
are now fighting to compel the railroads to
furnish fully equipped cars for carrying the
lumber. The first witness at the session to-
day was c. L. Willard president of the Chi
cago Lumber and Coal Company, which has
a large number Of mills throughout the
country, but especially in the south. He
gave figures on the amount of lumber
transported annually, saying that it
| amounted to 80 billion feet. board meas
ure, of which about 1876, 900. 600 tons were
transported by rail- His figures the cost
of equipping a lumber car with stakes
agreed with those of previous Witnesses be-
ing from 81 to $3.50 car. There were a
number of patent metal stakes on exhibi-
ton in the hearing room, and Mr.. Willard
said that while he had never seen actual
test of any Of the permanent car Stakes,
he thought from what he had seen of them
and the photographs and working drawings
on lumber cars. The hearing was continued
at the afternoon session.

CONSOLIDATION OF sQUADRoNs.
One Organization to Be the Result
The Pacific Fleet.

The Secretary of the Navy has issued an
order for the consolidation of the Pacific
squadron and the Asiatic fleet, the latter
including the Philippine squadron, into one
organization. to be officially known as the

son, now in command of the Asiatic fleet
will, as the senior officer. be the first COM

miral James III. Dayton, commanding the
Philippine squadron, will succeed Rear Ad-
miral Brownson in command of the Pacific
fleet. with Rear Admiral William T. Swim
burne in command of the principal squad
rons of that fleet. This action of the de-
partment was taken in accordance with re-
peated recommendations of the general
board. and has no relation whatever to re-
cent Developments In the east.

THE NEW BUILDING.
When Completed Will Hold Half the
Agricultural Department Force.

At the rate work is now proceeding on
the new building for the Department of
Agriculture 1t is thought that 1t will be fin
ished by the end of the current year. When
the building Is turned over to the depart
ment it probably will accommodate 40 per
cen. Of the working force. If 1t could have
been occupied at the time the first sod was
turned 1t probably would have taken In
the whole department. but there has been
an Immense expansion since then, and with
the pure food and the meat inspection d.
visions and all the normal growth OF the
other divisions 1t will not quite half hold
the department when the department is
ready to occupy it. There Is good deal
Of interest in the question OF whether or
not the next Congress w.. appropriate
money for an addition to he new building.
The plans have been so drawn that the
addition can be built If desired, though
there is no money available for the purpose
now. 1t is pointed out, however. that there
would be considerable advantage in having
the whole department under one roof, as.
besides the fact that the rent for OUTSIDE
buildings amounts to much more than the
interest on the cost of a new building. there
Is the additional expense for watchmen,
1anftors and charwomen while the cost
or heating Is considerably increased.
During the construction of the new build
ihs oHe VI the SuDcOntraCtOrS was caught
up on furnishing laboratory pipes essen
TALLY different from those called for in the
specifications. There was about 5000
worth OF pipe that, for chemical reasons
mad to be tin lined. The sample submitted
by the subcontractor was all right being
metal pipe with a tin lining. But the lot
or pipe furnished for installation was not
lined at all, and the trouble was discovered
IN time to prevent its installation. Had the
pipe been accepted and put in, it not only
would have been an entire loss. but would
nave spoiled much of the laboratry work
and would have cost about $4,000 to re-
move.

RAILWAYS VIOLATING LAW.
About 700 Cases Turned Over to the
Department of Justice.

Cases against the various railroads for
the violation of the so-called twenty-eight-
hour law in hauling live stock are piling up
at the Department of Agriculture. The
twenty -eight-hour law is designed to pre-
vent the railroads hauling live stock a
longer period than that without rest, food
or water. AS a matter of fact the law has
been amended so that on application of the
shipper, this period can be extended to
thirty-six hours But the railroads are not
satisfied with this and violations of the law
running up to fifty, sixty and even ninety
hours have been recorded.
The Department of Agriculture recently
completed the evidence in about 500 of these
cases and turned them over to the Depart
ment of Justice for prosecution and now
200 more cases have been added to the list
The maximum fine amounting to $500 has
been asked for in each case. so that the
penalties recovered in the aggregate will be
decidedly heavy.
