Mr.. Perry was sent by the highest
authority in the church wherein he

honesty as to induce the church au,

recognition of perfect freedom to

nominally his immediate superfors,
who have known his work most thor
oughly,. say Of it: Mr.. Perry has
been the most successful priest in
Georgia.
In carrying out the plans adopted
IN ministering to a large class of this
community, it has been necessary for
him to be business man as well as
a clergyman. This necessity ha.s
thrown him in contact with many of

His citizenship has been an honor to

The first statement having di-

The report next suggests that peo

ton in Great Britain without taking
into consideration the fact that the

of perpetual rights.
The majority report also says al

Conclusion Arrived at by Inter
state Commission.
CAUSE BUT NOT THE REMEDY.
Trouble Lies ina the Great Amount of
Wcstbound Traffifice at Head of the
Lakes-Coal Scarcity Due to Com
binatiOn OF Dealers who Fix Prices
in the Northwest

washington, January 2.-The causes
in the northwest and the consequent
coal famine in North Dakota, have
been determined by the members of
the interstate commerce commission
participating in the recent hearings
at Chicago and Minneapolis Franklin
K. Lane, who served as chairman of
the investigating commission, today
filed his report with the full commits
sion and sent it to President Roose-
welt, who ordered the inquiry He
finds:
1t is a fair inference from all the
testimony that the real cause of the
coal scarcity in North Dakota was such
an abundance Of westbound traffic at
the head of the lakes that cars were
not available in the congested state of
that terminal, for the carrying Of coal
to North Dakota-a comparatively
short haul for low class commodity !"
In his letter of transmission to the
president, Mr.. Lane says that the re-
port will be followed in due course by
the special recommendations of the
commission as a whole as to whatever
legislation, if any, may be deemed ad-
visable
That the coal shortage was due 70
the presence of a trust or combination
between dealers in coal who fixed
prices in the northwest and refused to
sell to outsiders and irregulars We
not proved by the INJURY. It is de-
clared however, that the commission
gained indisputable proof of an agree
ment between dealers to maintain
prices and to boycott all who do not

Complainant Gets Judgment Against
Railroad for Unjust Rates.

Washington, January 2.--The inter-
state commerce commission today
handed down its first decision in a
case brought under the new railroad
rate law. The finding was for the
complainant in the case of the Fred
|erick, (MarylanO, Brick Works against
the Northern Central Railway COM
pany and the Pennsylvania Railroad
company. In January, 1906, the COM
plainant shipped from Frederick, Md,
to Elberton, New Jersey, 372,20O
pounds Of red brick. The rate charged
was class rate Of $3.50 per ton, which
was alleged to be unreasonable and un-
just. Pending the controversy before
the commission, the carriers reduced
the rate to 81 Is per ton. The commls-
sion holds that the original rate was
unreasonable and unjust and awards
reparation to the complainant based on
the difference between that rate and
the rate subsequently put in effect.

Washington. January Am investi-
CATION TO ascertain the cause and fix
the responsibility for the disastrous
train wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad at Terra Gotta. d. C. last
Sunday night was begun here before
coroner's jury today The principal
witnesses were three officials of the
road, none of whom could give n rea-
son for the wreck, Nearly so Witnesses
have been Summoned. and the INJURY
promises to oceupy the entire Seek.
The testimony developed tl1e move
ments of the trains involved from the
time they wers both at Washington
Junction between and B o'cIock sun
day afternoon until the accident took
place
The train record kept by Dispatcher
Dent who had entire control of lne
trains shows that ne received Il mes
sage from the operator at Takoma Park
that No. 2120 in charge of Engineer
Hildebrand, had run by his red signal
This message came seven or eight
minutes after the train had run past
the danger signal. Dent Immediately
called up University Station, the neat
towards Washington, and was told that
No. &C, the Frederick local was not
coming From this he said he fear
ed trouble, and in six or seven minutes
he got word from conductor of No. 66
from University Station that the wreck
had occurred. Dent said there was no
nnr tn
proximity Of the two trains until the
rear train ran by the stop" signal
at Takoma
Division Superintendent o. II. Hobbs
said the company had made no effort
to investigate the accident. 1t was
impossible to do SO, he said, because
the members of the train crew were
under arrest. Mr. Hobbs ascribed the
accident to "A violation Of rules" but
said without a full inquiry, he could
not specify what rules.
G. w. Galloway superintendent of
transportation said he had no DOUBT
that Engineer Hilerbrand knew that
No. &c was ahead Of him as both trains
were at Washington Junction at the
same time. He said there was no re-
quirement that the crew of No. &c could
send ou warning to the rear when ii
made station stops as it was running
on regular schedule.
That the weather was foggy on the
night of the accident was testified to
from the official records of the weather
bureau by Professor o. G. Day.
Both Mr. Hobbs and Mr. Galloway
gave Engineer Hildebrand an excellent
certificate of character.
The inquest will proceed tomorrow.
