GREAT NORTHERN
GRILLFD BY YOUNG
ATTORNEY GENERAL WOULD
STOP ISSUE EXCEPT UNDER
SUPERVISION.
HANGS PLEA ON CAR SHORTAGE

ST. Paul, Jan. 10.--Attorney General
Edward t. Young grilled the officials
Of the Great Northern road yesterday
for admitting that they had violated
the laws of Minnesota before and
claiming that therefore they could do
so again. Because the Great Northern
road had issued stock before without
securing permission of the state, Mr..
Young said, the road appeared to claim
that certain vested right to do so
again had been created. He asked why
the Great Northern road did not put
itself on level with other people OF
the state and obey the laws He ridi-
culed the argument of the Great
Northern as unworthy of the intelli-
gence of eminent counsel.
Restrain Stock Issue.
Arguments in the suit brought by
the state to restrain the Great North
ern road from stock issue of $6O,OOO,-
600 until the consent of the state rail
road and warehouse commission had
been obtained were begun yesterday in
st. Paul before Judge Hallam of the
Ramsey county district court.
The attorneys for the Great North
ern held that section 1872. covering
the powers of the commission in rela-
ton to increase of capital stock by
railroad companies. is unconstitutional
In delegating legislative functions to
the commission.
Hangs Plea on Car Shortage.
The attorney made strong play as
side issue by reciting the suffering
of the people of the Northwest from
the existing railroad conditions and
the untitled requirements of prosperi-
ty as a reason for the issue OF the
stock; also the attitude of the inter
state commerce commission in its re-
cent hearing concerning the conges-
ton of traffic in the Northwest,

Experiments in Protection From
Lightning.

A series of interesting experiments in
protection from lightning is being carried
on at the laboratories of the George Wash
ington University by DR.. N. Monroe Hop
kins, assistant professor of chemistry and
electrician of the United States navy Re-
suits so definite have been attained that
DR.. Hopkins is about to reconstruct the
system of lightning rods used in the various
navy yards throughout the country.
With chimneys and buildings on a minia-
ture scale, and with the use OF an electric
current which can be stepped up by
means Of transformers to 800 900 volts and
an alternating frequency of 10000 per sec
ond, DR.. Hopkins has been able to repro
duce in his laboratory something Of the con-
ditions of the actual thunder storm. One
of his most radical innovations Is the re-
moval. Of insulators from the rods. This
elimination of the familiar glass accom-
plishes the result of draining the surface
of the chimney, which, through the passage
of nearby current inevitably becomes
heavily charged and often dangerously So
Over the top of each stack he places what
Is called spider" network of radiating
wires which are connected with the vertical
conductors. These wires protect the in
terror Of the chimney, preventing the light
ming from using the emitted column of
gases as conductor.
