CASE HALTED
Southern Railway Hearing
Adjourned to Thursday.
EXAMINATION OF PLANT ENDS
General Counsel Thorn Objects 10 At
tenlpts to Obtain Calculations as
to Result of Intrastate Operation
in North CarOIina-No Allowances
for improvements and Betterments.

The cross-examinatlon Of Comptroller
Plant. Of the Southern Railway. was
concluded yesterday At the North Caro-
lima rate hearing.
Many OF the questions Of Speaker
Justice were directed 10 obtaining from
Mr.. Plant calculations as 10 results of
intrastate operation in North Carolina,
based on the assumption that 1t costs
no more to do intrastate business than
10 do all business, and that no allow
ance should be made for expenditures
for improvements and betterments.
General Counsel Thorn objected TO
this line of testimony. not only on the
ground that It was contrary to the rule
laid down by the Supreme Court in the
case Of Smith against Ames. but also
because 1t asked for calculations, based
on on unsustained theory, as to relative
costs Of operation.
Meeting Adjourned.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Plants cross
examination the meeting was adjourned
10 next Thursday. AZ the request Of the
attorneys for the State of North Caro-
lima. so as TO permit Chairman Mcneil
and Secretary Brown Of the corporation
commission, to go to Raleigh on business
OF the commission. Mr. Thorn at first
objected 10 the adjournment, taking the
ground that il would make 1t difficult 10
complete the taking Of testimony so as
70 give the master time 10 file his report
In the United States Circuit Court at
AsheviIle on September g the date fixed
by Judge Pritchard
Mr.. Thorn pointed out that there had
been no delay on the part Of the railway
company and that three-fourths TO FIVE
siXths II the time occupied In the exami-
nation Of its witnesses had been taken up
by the state in the cTOss-eXamination.
During the discussion of the motion for
the adjournment IL developed that the
State viii insist on time for the prepara-
tion OF It's case after the railway wit
nesses have been examined, and will
present a large amount of testimony.
Plan to Hasten Case.
Special Master Montgomery. in granting
the motion for the adjournment. an
nounced that In view Of the number OF
attorneys employed by the State, he
would insist upon those not actively en-
gagged in cross-examining the witnesses Of
the railway, working on the preparation
Of their own case. and would endeavor TO
have the testimony all in so that the re-
port could be made on the day fixed by
the court
The railway authorities insist that the
States counsel is seeking TO delay the
case. The manner OF Speaker Justice be
came so arbitrary yesterday In cross-ex-
amining Comptroller PlaHt that Special
Master Montgomery Tefuked him and
suggested he lower his voice. The attor-
ney explained that he was speaking IN
his natlIEal tone, whereupOu General
Counsel Thorn suggested that the attoT-
ney wanted TO be heard in North Caro-
lima

REQUEST FOR TENTS DENIED.
War Department Unable TO send
Them 10 san Francisco.


Because Of the spread of bubonic
plague In the city OF San Francisco, the
authorities there have decided that It is
necessary 70 remove all OF the patients
out OF the city hospitals so as to permit
a thorough furnigation and cleansing OF
the buildings. In this emergency they
have called upon the War Department
with a request for a loan Of tents with
which TO establish hospital camp.
Acting Secretary Of War Oliver de-
cllned the request. but has offered to sell
San Francisco as many tents aa the city
may require He takes the ground that
the situation does not amount 10 a Ha-
tional calamity and that there Is, there
fore, no authority in law for the lOaning
OF army tents which. after having been
used for the purpose indicated, would
have 10 be destroyed.

who live on the edge of tidal-wave
seas disappear when nature is in dis
tress. The novelty about this storm
is that it struck the southern islands.
AS rule the typhoons form off to
the southeast of Luzon, the island on
which Manila is located, and then
sweep across the China sea. This
one started down below the ordinary
typhoon line. Presumably it struck
Mindanao and Jolo, which are seldom
hit. Mindanao is large island, one
of the biggest in the group. Its chief
city is Zamboanga, one of the most
charming places in the archipelago.
There is considerable doing in Min

they saved their lives the damage is
not irreparable, for the rapid growth
of everything in that climate is
