Will be Result of Organization
of American Railway
Clearing House.
PENNSY IN THE POOL
ASSOCIATION BOUND TO BE OF
GREAT BENEFIT IN CASE THE
FREIGHT CONDITIONS BECOME
DEMORALIZED.

Notice of the forInarIon of THE
American Railway Clearing House To-
Gated in Chicago, has been received at
the Pennsylvania offices in this city.
The voluntary association of several
western railroads into the Car Eff
cheney Bureau, the former name for
the new association, will make it pos
sible for more systematic and eff
cient freight service between all the
western roads, in that car pool or
pools will be maintained and each
road will have the opportunity of
drawing on this pool as service de-
mands. Among the eastern roads
running into Chicago who have identi
fed themselves with the new move
ment are the Pennsylvania, New York
Central and the Erie roads. These
three roads although having almost
twice the number of freight cars as
the western roads in the pool, nave
such a large number of foreign lines
that it has been impossible for them
in all cases to furnish enough cars for
their growing business. The clearing
house will keep all freight statistics
and clearing house records and will
nave charge VI the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Vi
the smaller freight car pools through
out the west. The clearing house
will divide the larger pools into three
classes. One composed of box cars,
gondolas and coal cars. Each railroad
in the association will contribute a
certain number of cars to the pool,
and in case the freight conditions on
any one road becomes demoralized, a
greater number of cars can be drawn
from the pool than the railroad actu-
ally put in.
In speaking of the new scheme
Richmond man and an old railroader
said yesterday that the new clearing
house would be one of the best ven-
lures that the big and little roads of
the west could have become identified
with, and would tend greatly to give
the shipping interests of the middle
west a better service.

RULES THE OBJECTIONS PUT
UP AGAINST JAMES w. NOEL
AND THE INQUIRY PROCEEDS.

Indianapolis, Feb, 2, (Spl)-Before
the oral inquiry of the state into the
affairs of the State Life Insurance
company was two hours old, the fact
had been established that y. NJ.
Sweeney and w. S. Wynn, president
and secretary, respectively. of the in
surance company, contributed during
tue legislative session of 1899, 81 ,925
for the passage of the legal reserve
law, without knowing how the money
was TO be spent. These amounts ap-
pear on the company's books as charg-
ed to attorneys fees"
The officers said that they thought
that the money was to be spent for
lobbyists and attorneys fees, and that
they thought the money was expended
for these purposes, but that they did
not know how it was spent, as no ac
counting was ever made by Col. Char
les Kahlo and Charles II. Hernley.
who received and disbursed the
money.
Questions were asked by James w.
Noel, who conducted the inquiry for
the state, concerning the expenditure
of an additional S315, but light was
not thrown on this, as neither Swee-
ney nor Wynn knew who ordered the
OF the S2,925 admitted to have been
spent, $2,700 went to Kahlo and 1925
to Hernley.

and about one out of every hundred
of the drivers who have occasion to
use the bridge heed the warning. Yes
terday a gang of men who are string

falling. They finally called at police
headquarters and made complaint. A
patrolman was stationed at the bridge,
and from that time on vehicles moved

A Fine Scheme

Government management OF trusts by
means Of receivers has great advantages
over Government ownership. The latter
plan would cost certain billions. The
former won't cost anybody, except the
stockholders and bondholders, anything.
10 enables the Government to know all
the secrets of trust management, to fix
prices, to get into its own hands an
enormous lump of predatory wealth.
In spite Of the activity of Mr.. RoosE-
WELT in boosting socialism a great object
lesson in socialism might be useful. The
Purdy programme must be doubly well
come to Mr.. ROOSEVELT on account Of its
educational value.
Finally, the difficult matter of cam
paign contributions will be made easier
than lying. 1t will always seem bad
policy to change the management Of the
trusts. A wise Administration will know
how to milk them for the cause OF the
decent, the honest and the good.
Can any decent citizen hope that the
courts will be 30 brutal as to forbid the
mighty moral, economic, educational and
political machine which the wisdom at
Washington has devised?

Four Kinds OF Receivers.

So far as the Revised Statutes show on
the surface Of their indexed contents,
only three kinds of receivers or receiver
ships are known to the laws of the United
States:
1. Receivers of national banks. The
Federal courts are authorized to appoint
such receivers in certain well defined
cases, and under specific directions.
2. Receivers Of public money. These
are appointed under the land office sys-
tenn and in certain other cases to act as
I fduciary rather than as administrative
officers.
8. Receivers Of stolen goods. These
are properly described by the statute,
and their punishment is fixed. The Fed
eral law regarding receivers of stolen
goods, however, applies only to offences
committed on the high seas or in places
within tho exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States.
A fourth sort of Federal receiver ap-
pears for the first time in Mr.. PURDY's
prayer in the proceedings against the
American Tobacco Company and its al
legged accomplices. This prayer of Mr..
PURDY, like the inherent sovereignty
plea Of Solicitor General HoYT, is likely
to become immortal. although perhaps
in a slightly different way. Mr.. HoYT's
argument seems to have stirred the tran
quill intellects Of the Supreme Court to
something akin to indignation. Mr..
PURDY's theory is likely TO provide for
that exalted tribunal one of the most
pleasantly humorous afternoons in the
whole of its experience.
And yet the ingenious speculations
of Mr.. HORT and the prayerful expecta-
lions Of Mr.. PURDY have a common
origin in an authority quite apart from
the avs or the Constitution of the United
States. Both can be traced directly back
TO this announcement dated October 4,
1908, at York, Pa:
II am striving to give a constantly increasing
governmental supervision over the use OF wealth"
Striving day before yesterday by
means Of Judge FARRAR's post roads
theory of Federal power to control bust
ness within the States; yesterday by
means Of Mr.. HoYT's theory that there
can be no C ncy between State and
national jurisdiction-a theory which
has nov drawn from the Supreme Court
one of those high judicial decisions of
which Mr.. ROOSEVELT remarked on that
same October 4. 1908. at Harrisburg, Il
am confident time will show them to
have been and a damage to
the country; and to-day by means of
the interesting Purdian %expedient of
receivsrships unauthorized by law.

band Of war; that she destroyed at sea
more than she believed them to be worth,
now proposes to prohibit the destruction
Of neutral prize vessels except in cases
where their preservation might compro-
mise the safety of the vessels eifecting
the capture or endanger the success Of a
b~elligcrent's operations. Even in such
cases prize vessels should not be de-
stroyed, Russia holds, without trans
shipping everything on board, or at
least preserving papers needed for a
computation of the proper amount Of
indemnity. The proposal, as thus quail
fled, seems unlikely to encounter much
opposition. A further suggestion made
by Russia is that merchant ships of
belligerents found in a captured port by
the enemy shall be allowed to discharge
their cargo and leave again safely; and
that such vessels met at sea cannot be
captured unless they had left a belliger-
emit harbor after a declaration Of war had
been made known there. This probably
represents the limit to which the confer
ence will 70 in the direction Of improv-
ing the status Of the private property OF
belligerents at sea.
Although, therefore, the Spokesman Of
the great Powers are unlikely to agree
upon any change Of capital Importance
In the law Of nations, each of them will
try to save his face" by evincing a will
ingness to accept minor Improvements.
