BLOCK SYSTEM
BEING PROBED
Result of Recent Wrecks on the
Southern and the B. & O.
COMMISSION IS AT WORK
Body Proceeds Under Authority of an
Act Passed by Congress al It's
Last Session.

An inquiry into the operation of the
block signal systems of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad and of the South
ern railway was instituted at Wash
ington Friday by the interstate com.
merce commission. In making the in
quiry, the commission is acting under
authority of a resolution of congress
adopted at the last session, calling for
a report on the working of the rail
road block system generally, specific
instances of which appear to be a
failure of the block signal device,
or, as one of the commissioners ex.
pressed it, the failure of the human
end Of the device, to prevent accidents
involving loss of not only property, but
life were afforded by the recent disas-
trous accidents on the Southern rail-
way at Lawyers, va, and on the B. &
D. railroad at Terra Gotta, D. c.
Oficials of both the Southern and
the BE- o. were subpenaed before the
commission to give it such inforlna-
ton as they might possess. If, after
the officers of these lines have been
examined, it be deemed desirable to
do so the commission may call officials
of other lines on which wrecks recent
ly have occurred. on account Of the
apparnt disregard of the block
signals, or the failure of the system
to accomplish its purpose.
The following witnesses nave been
summoned and were present:
Charles Selden, superintendent Of
telegraph; John G. Wilson, assistant
general attorney; c. S. Potter, third
vice president; J. F. Dent train dis.
patcher; j. w. Kelly, Jr, trainmas-
ter; H. S. Padcord, trainman; f. P.
Patenall, signal engineer, and Thos.
Fitzgerald, general manager, all of the
B. & o.; ]. S. Hitchcock, locomotive
engineer of Washington, and Eli c. ggnor-
roster, of Denver.

CAME TN 1906
Report Of Commissioner Places
Total Number at l,166,353.
GRADE WAS MUCH LOWER
Majority Of Newcomers Were Of a Com
paratively Undesirable Class.
How They Were Distributed.

A washington dispatch says: The
fiscal year ended June 80, 1906, pro-
duced a record eclirsfng all former
figures on the subject Of immigration,
according to the annual report of
Frank Sargent, the commissioner gem
eral of immigration. During that pc
Rod, the report says, the population
of the united States was increased
by the admission of 1,100,735 imml-
grant aliens, and 65,61S non-immi-
grant aliens entered at its ports, max
ing the total admission 1,166,3 53. The
increase over last years record of L.
O59,795 Q,0264 99 aliens, plus SS.256
transits), was 106,69S. During the fis-
cal year 1905, II, $50 aliens were re-
jected, and during the past year H.
432. OF the immigrant aliens, that is,
those who intended settling in the
United States, there were 764,4G3
males and 336,272 females.
The tendency Of immigration during
the past few years to gather its
steady increase principally from the
countries OF southern Europe is refer
red to-
Without exception" the report
says, the countries from which we
formerly obtained the greater part OF
our foreign population, and which are

Der during the past year than during
19O5-Ireland 1880; Sweden, 1921;
Germany, $780, Denmark, 1923, and
Scotland, LII fewer. On the other
hand the four most considerable gains
are italy, 51,5641; Russia, 8O,78S;
Greece, 1914, and Turkey tin Europe
and Asia), 5,165. The immigration
from Austria Hungary amounted to
265,138, Italy, including Sicily and
Sardinia, 273, 120; Russian empire and
Finland, 215,665; China, 1,544; Japan.
1885, and the West Indies, 1866
The immigration from southern and
eastern Europe the report says, is
result of general unrest existing
among the laboring classes Of those
sections, which is encouraged or even
fomented by the steamship agents
securing the country for passengers,
and the commission says more dras-
tic measures are required to effect
discontinuance OF these steamship
practices.
That the physical and mental quail
ties of the immigrants we are now re-
ceiving is much below that Of those
who have come in former years, he
says, is evident

years, the bulk Of the immigrants

sfABOARO SECURES A SHORT LINE.
The Macon, Dublin and Savannah Road is
Purchased Outright.


At a meeting of directors and stock
holders of the Macon, Dublin and Sa-
vannah railway in Macon, Ga, Thurs
day morning, the Seaboard Air Line
acquired the former road Negotia-
tions had been pending for several
weeks. The Seaboard was represented
in the meeting by Pres. Alfred wal
ter Vice President Garrett and Cen
eral Counsel Watts. There were pres
ent also General Manager T. K.
Scott of the Georgia railroad and
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah.
This will give a line from Macon TO
the sea at Savannah. The Macon, Dub
lin and Savannah connects at Vidalia
with the Seaboard Air Line.
The Seaboard already has a line into
Atlanta, and there are now surveyors
between Macon and Atlanta lining out
new road just between the tracks
of the Southern and the Central OF
Georgia.
It is rumored that there is also a
trackage combination between the
seaboard, the Atlantic Coast Line and
the Georgia railroad.
The Seaboard Air Line acquired the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah BY ac-
tual purchase. The price Of the road
and conditions of the sale were not
made public.

NEW JUDGES DISSENT.
Georgia's Appellate Court Opened With
Friendly DiSagreementS Between
the Trio of Iurists.

thS At1u VI JHAASAS$
The new Georgia court of appeals
started out at Atlanta Monday morn
ing with two dissenting opinions filed
before argument in a single case had
been made.
Judge R. B. Russell filed his dig.
sent to the rule designating presid.
ing Judge in accordance with age, ana
Judge Arthur G. Powell filed a dissent
to the order naming a woman as one
of the court stenographers, on the
ground that this is a state office, and
cannot be held by woman.
Thus did the state court of appeals
begin it's formal sessions at the CAPT
tol in the supreme court room.
The court met for the purpose OF
attending to such preliminary matters
as it had to deal with In advance OF
beginning the regular docket, and
right interesting these preliminaries
were,
Here, in part, is the order making
provision for a presiding judge, to
which Judge Russell takes exception
THE established order of proceed
ence in presiding In this court shall
be the same as obtained in the SUI
preme court prior to the creation OF
the separate office of chief justice OF
that court, that is to say, that the
president or chief Judge of the court
shall be the Oldest Judge in commits
sion, and, as between two or more
| Judges Wose terms of service with
this court begin on the same date
the Oldest man shall for the purpose
Of this rule, be regarded as the oldest
in commission In the absence of the
chief judge, the next Oldest shall pre-.
side"
Under this order, since the commits
siols of all three of the judges bear
the same date, Judge 3. H. Hill, being
the Oldest in years, becomes the chief,
or presiding judge.
The other dissent filed in the court
of appeals at its first meeting was
that OF Judge Powell against the APP
polntment Of a woman as stenogra-
pher to the court. In the selection
of stenographers, Judge Russell nam
ed Miss Marion Bloodworth, OF At
lanta, this being the first instance in
the states history in which woman
has been named as stenographer in
an appellate court
Presiding Judge Hill concurred in
the appointment of Miss BloodwOrth,
expressing doubt as to whether the
position is one Of "a civil officer or
merely a clerk, and giving the beEeft
Of the doubt to the appointee. Hence
she will serve in that capacity
Judge Powell, however, took the
emphatic view that the position is
that Of a civil officer, hence that a
woman is not eligible. Said he:
"The constitutional amendment ere.
ating this court provides that in all
respects, except as otherwise provided
in the constitution, the laws relative
to the supreme court shall apply to
the court Of appeals To my mind, it
therefore necessarily follows that fe-
males are ineligible to hold the Office
as stenographer in the court of ap,
peals. Ii l could find any escape from
what seems to me an irresistible lega!
conclusion, I would take great pleas
ure in joining with my brethren In
the selection of this most excellent
/ young lady"
Miss Bloodworth, however, was
selected by the votes Of Judges Hill
and Russell, and she will hold the
/ position.

All Negro Soldiers Now in United States
Will Go for Service--None
Will Be Left.


A Washington special says: The
ninth and tenth cavalry and the twen-
ty-ffth infantry, including all the ne
gro soldiers in the regular army in
this country. have been ordered to
prepare for service in the Philippines,
and will sail at different times be-
tween March 5 and June 5 of this
year. The only other regiment CON-
posed of negroes, the twenty-fourth
infantry, is now doing service in the
Philippines.
Other troops ordered to the Phil
ippines are the sixth cavalry, the
eighteenth, twenty-sixth, twenty-ninth
and thirtieth infantry The troops
which will be relieved by the send
ing of these new regiments will be the
fourth, seventh and eighth cavalry,
and the ninth, thirteenth, fifteenth,
sixteenth and nineteenth infantry.
1t was stated by Major General Bell,
chief of staff, that the negro regi-
ments are being sent to the Philip
pines because it is their turn to go
and not because of any desire to get
them out of the United States at this
time
The negro troops are to sail for
the Philippines before most of the
white organizations, the last of which
will not leave this country until early
in January, 1908.
The following statement was issued
from the war department in explana-
ton OF the orders
There was a time, between 1902
and 1905, when the colored regiments
were not sent to the Philippines at all.
In 1905, however, this policy was
tentatively changed, and the twenty
fourth infantry, cOlored regiment,
was sent to the Philippines, and is
now there The service of the twenty.
fourth infantry in the Philippines has
been entirely satisfactory and it is
thought that the service of the other
regiments will be.
I'm reporting upon this subject,
General Wood states:
81 recently visited and made an
inspection OF the departments of the
Visayas and Mindanao, and found the
twenty-fourth infantry very well liked
by the civil authorities in the neigh.
borhood Of it's varied stations. In fact,
at Tacloban, the governor expressed
particular appreciation of the fine
conduct of this regiment
Because of this report and expe-
rience, the general staff recommend
ed and the department decided it TO
be wise to return to the former pol
icy Of equal foreign service for all
the regiments of the army.
"The present assignment of the 9th
er colored regiments to the Pntlip
pines is merely for an equal distri-
button Of foreign service. They nave
not been there for four years. at now
becomes fair to them and to the other
regiments that they be assigned to
the Philippines in due order.
Foreign service, it should be stat
ed, increases the pay of the men 20
per cent and counts double time for
retirement. It was pointed out at the
department, therefore, that the idea
that these orders were prejudicial to
the colored troops, or were made on
account of the Brownsville affair, was
utterly absurd"

IN presenting reasons why the bill
should be passed Mr.. Crumpacker, its
author, said the power given the post

administrative discretion. 1t rather
partook of the nature of police pow

Government Otiicia,s
The authorities in the Philippines
are determined to rid the islands OF
all undesirable characters, and to this
end they have decided to account for
all dishcnorably discharged soldiers.
1t is stated that, after discharge, the
men have been accustomed to hang
around the garrisons and they add to
that class OF the population which is
neither a credit nor a profit to the
islands.
