repres ent the attorney general in pro-;

phe Also to Be Looked Into by Com
merce Commission.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Inqulry into the
operation of the block signal systems OF
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and
the Southern Railway was instituted
today by the interstate commerce COM
mission. The commission is acting un-
der authority of a resolution Of con-
gress. adopted at the last session, CALI
ing for report on<the working of rail-
road block systems generally.
It is apparent the commission in
tends to first make thorough inquiry
into the block signal system Of the
Baltimore & Ohio road, with particular
reference to the wreck Of last Sunday
night at Terra Gotta. A number of inn
portant points in connection with this
wreck not brought out at the coroner's 8
inquest will be gone into.
Representative Esch, of Wisconsin.
was an interested spectator at today's
session The testimony OF T. F. Dent,
train dispatcher of the Baltimore 4
Ohio, brought out the statement that
the movement Of trains Is accomplish
ed by two wires, one Of which is known
as the train wire and the other the
block wire. One operator has to work
both these wires. Dent said it some-
times happens that the operator cannot
be reached for half hour.
Dene has but one wire under his con-
troll. He said 1t some times happens
he is very busy, and that operators
along the line could not reach him for
several minutes. The commissions at

policy. All the technicalities of the law
have been exhausted. The case is not
to be tried over again, nor is the gov-
ernor to declare that Busse is not
guilty, and he would not be setting
himself up as against the courts to
grant the communication. But legal
execution under such circumstances
would be of itself miscarriage of JUS
tice and a blot on the name of the
state The attorney for the state en-
tered somewhat into the legal phases
of the case as il it was up for re-
hearing on law questions.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Governor Cummins stated that he
wished time in which to decide the
case. But he did state frankly that
the recommendation of the five mem
bers of the supreme court was such
that he would feel in duty bound to
give it much greater weight than the
recommendation from any other five
men.
A number of persons were present
at the hearing and the impression was
strong that the case had been won for
Busse.
Three times a date has been fixed
for the execution of Louis Busse. Once
the case was submitted to the legis-
lature, but the legislature decided that
cases OF this kind do not come under
it's jurisdiction. If Busse goes to
prison for life, then the legislature will
have jurisdiction in the case

FIRE AT PRAIRIEBURG
Linn County Village Has Disastrous
BIaze-Most Of Business Section De-
stroyed, Including Postoffiee- Stocks
Partially Saved.

Special to Times-Republican
Cedar Rapids, Jan. 4.-Fire that
started at II o'clock last night and
burned until the early hours Of morn
ing, destroyed the larger part of the
business section of Prairieburg, a town
in the north part Of Linn county. The
fire is believed to have been Of incen-
diary origin, as there is no other way
to account for it.
The fire started in McGee's butcher
shop, and soon communicated to the
Parker shoe shop and the Mclaughlin
general store. On the other side of the
butcher shop were the postoffice and a
small building occupied as barber
shop. ALI these buildings were Destroy
ed, but the stocks Of goods and a por-
ton of the fixtures were saved in a
damaged condition. The bank build
ing, which stood next to the Nc
Laughlin building, was saved, 1t being
of brick and the fire walls protecting
it. The loss on the burned buildings
will reach about $4,000, with insurance
of about half. The fire destroyed tele-
phonic communication with this city
and additional details are lacking.

Eldora, Jan. 4.-Many box holders at

pay the increased rental demanded in
the recent ruling Of the postoffice de-
partment. Over 400 boxes are closed.
and altho the officials here refuse to
give the figures it is known that near

that the public generally consider it
an Injustice ITO make the towns pay
the expense of the rural free delivery"
It is argued here that "the cities
only a little larger than Eldora have
delivery and the country districts have
the same, while the smaller cities ray

when interviewed on the subject, said:
81 think the government made a mis-

the delivery at the start. Had it been
done then it would have been accepted
without protest, but now suppose
there would be howl If we were ask

Personally, think It no more than

Nashua. Jan. 4-Harry Reine. a
young pan about 81 years old, met
with very painful accident on New
Years day. He had just secured en-
ployment at the Charles City Gasoline
Engine Works about two months ago.
The company had loaded two engines
into a car for shipment, but had for
gotten to let the oil out of the oil cool
ers, and two small oil stoves had been
set into the car for heating. One OF
these began leaking and the oil caught
fire. and Harry, seeing this. rushed in
to the scar, thinking to throw out the
stove. fBut the moment he entered the
car his clothing, which had come in
contact with oil in working around the
factory, at once ignited and he was all
ablaze. He jumped from the car. and
men who stood near helped to beat out
the flames, but his body was terribly
burned, likewise his head, face, hands
and feet
