INVESTIGATING

Railway Officials ION the

Associated Press to The Evening Tlnes,
Washington, Jan. 4.-Inquiry into
the operation of the block signal sys-
tens of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road and the Southern Railway was
Instituted today by the interstate COM
merce commission. In making the in
quiry, the commission is acting under
authority of 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 what appears to be fail
ure OF the block signal device or. as
one of commissioners expressed it,
failure of the human end of the de-
vice to prevent accidents, involving
loss OF not osly property, but life,
were afforded by recent disastrous ac-
cldents on the Southern Railway at
Lawyer, Va, and on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad at Terra Gotta, D. C.
These accidents the commission deter
mined to investigate. so far as to the
relation of the operation of block sig
mails. The officials of both the Southern
and the Baltimore & Ohio were SUBJ
pOenaed before the commission to give
such information as they might pos
sess. If, after officers of these lines
have been examined it be deemed
desirable to do so, the commission
may call officials of other lines on

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, D. c. Jan. 4.-The an
nual meeting of the National Board
of the Promotion of Rifle Practice
which will take place in Washington,
January q, promises to be an event
of much interest to the rifle world.
Two of the important matters to come
before the board are the time and
place for the next national match,
and the weapon that shall be used in
the national Team match and the
National Individual match. The mill
tia has not yet been armed with the
new rifle, Model Of 1903," as it is
technically known, but arrangements
are progressing to the end that 1t Is
hoped by the time spring range prac-
tice sets in, the militia will have laid
aside the Krag of the New Spring
field" Naturally there is room for
discussion of this interesting point.
The army has had the new Spring
field for some time. Indeed it was
prepared to use it in the National
matches last year, but was compelled
to use the Krag because the militia
had nothing else. The prime object
of the National matches is to enable
the regular and the citizen soldiery to
meet on equal footing and under uni
form conditions. Therefore the arms
and ammunition must be identical.
and so the army laid aside its new
gun and shot with the Krag. But as
the army has had the new Springfield
for some time and the National guard
will not get it until spring. there may
be some question as to whether the
militia will be able to secure sat
isfactory amount of practice before
the National match. 1t is thought,
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-01-04
L. Bureau for Promotion Of Rifle Practice Advocates New Plan

however, that this objection, If there
is any, can be overcome, and it is
highly probable the new Springfield
will be issued.
While the place of holding the next
annual match will be discussed it will
doubtless be referred to a committee.
Fort Riley, Kansas, Sea Girt. New
Jersey, and Ohio will be considered.
There is almost unanimous DISPOSE
tion to move the National macth from
place to place, both to give the marks
men variety, and because wherever 1t
is held interest in rifle shooting is
greatly stimulated. 1t will be years
before every state. will have a range
sufficient to accommodate these
matches, especially as the entry list
is constantly increasing, but as they
complete their ranges, made possible
the increased appropriation, many
think they should be encourage by be-
ing given the National match. AS the
National Rifle association, the govern
ing body of all civilian rifle clubs,
holds its matches at the same time as
the National board, the two events at
tract riflemen from all parts of the
United States. Some of those inter-
ested believe Congress should estab-
lish a National rifle range near Wash
ington, for the National matches,
something on the order of the British
range at Bisley, where thousands of
marksmen gather for the British Ma
tional matches. This proposition is
still in embryo, but may he seriously
considered some day.
Another question likely to be con-
sidered by the National board is the
advisability of continuing the large
money prizes in the National individ-

HARTMAN ILL.,
CAN'T TESTIFY
Union and Southern Pacific
Said to Have Agreed in
Restraint of Trade.

Associated Press to The Evenias Times.
New York, Jan. 4.-Counsel for the
Union Pacific company announced
that President E. NJ. Hartman would
be unable to appear before the inter-
state commerce commission which, to-
day began an inquiry into the affairs
OF the Southern Pacific and the Union
Pacific railway systems, on account of
i'll health following an operation. He
said that Hartman could testify at his
own house if the commission desired.
He urged, however, that the taking of
Harriman's testimony be postponed.
Hartman was excused from attend
ance at this time.
1t will be ten days or more before
he could appear, according to counsel.
The underlying purposes of the in
vestigation are to discover whether or
not the two railway lines are natural
competitors or whether there is an
agreement between trem that may be
construed as in restraint of trade un-
der the Sherman antitrust act.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-01-04

ual match. Military rifle shooting is
such a comparatively new sport, so to
speak, that what would be considered
an ordinary prize seems tremendously
large here. We are far from being a
nation of marksmen especially with
guns that kill at a mile or so. In
England the kings prize amount to
$1,250, and in other countries are
equally rich and even richer prizes.
For 1906 some patriotic-minded gen.
tlemen made up purse of 5000,
which was added to the prizes provid-
ed by congress for the National in
dividual match and thus the first prize
was brought up to $1,000. There is
a guarantee of the same amount of
added money for several years, by
which time it is expected congress
will make some provision for prizes
suitable to the growth of interest in
practice. One Of tue ways in which
the Swiss sustain interest in rifle
practice is by permitting any citizen
to shoot match on any Sunday. He
pays SO much down, about five francs
If he makes minimum score he gets
his money back, and from then on the
prize money increases until he can win
one hundred francs by making a COM
plete score. That means quite a bit
to a Swiss, and they keep up their
practice. The government makes
good the difference between the entry
fee and the prizes.
A question that has excited some in
terest is the possibility of a change
being made in the ammunition used
in the national matches. Some claim
that military ammunition manufact-
ured by private makers is superior to
that turned out at government arsen-

provided. The militia will soon be
exchanging Krags for New Spring
fields, however, and there seems to
be no reason why congress should not
authorize the war department to issue
them to civilian clubs through the
National Rifle association. Rifle as
sociations are being organized in al
most every state and enthusiasts are
forming rifle clubs acre and there
through these states. The work is
progressing nicely through the Ma
tional Rifle association and the board
lis drawing nearer it's goal. Every
where the school children have been
given instruction in rifle shooting they
have become enthusiastic. Some per-
sons seem to think the government
proposes to have school children of
tender years trotting out to the ranges
with guns as large as themselves, and
firing in competition with men. Not
at all. The proposition is that chill
dren in the high schools should re.
ceive certain amount of training,
first with sub-target gun, which re-
quires no ammunition and where there
is no particle of danger, and then with
the % caliber musket. The training
thus given would encourage them to
join either the militia or civilian rifle
clubs after they leave school. Eng
land makes great point of rifle prac-
tice in the schools, as do France and
other countries. on the principle that
''the boys of today are the men of
tomorrow" After all, boys like to
shoot with a bow, sling or gun. How
much better that they should be
taught to do SO under careful instruc.
