the girl from a young mar with whom she
kept company.
The police learned that the young mans
first name was Robert and that he worked
at the Arlington postofflce. A search there
failed to find a man of hat name.

the Jersey City authorities working on
the case. but the New York police have
taken a hand in the search. and for two
days Coney Island has been searched
with little or no result. The police are
as far as ever from locating the girl.
The Sehick girl came to this city about
ten lays &C from Jersey City to work
In the home of Budelman. She had beer
employed there but a few days when she
left. and since then has not been seen.

A WITNESS
SOUTHERN's vICE-PREsI.
DENT TESTlFlES.
Costs Over Three Times as Much to Han.
die Intra-state Freight in North
Carolina Than Average.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-The North
Carolina rate case hearing transferred from
New York was resumed here today before
Walter A. Montgomery, appointed by Uni
ted States Circuit Judge ]. c. Pritehard to
take evidence. II. B, Spencer, Yice-presi-
dent of the Southern Railway. testified
concerning the cost of operating trains in
North Carolina and the gross earnings on
State business, but the great proportion of
questions concerned details of making ship
ments. Industrial conditions at all of the
important points In the State, taxes paid
by the Southern, assessed valuation of
property, names and mileage of the various
corporations making up the Southern sys-
tenn.
Mr.. Spencer was required to make nota-
lions with a view to filing replies. Ex-
Governor Aycock, Speaker Justice. OF the
North Carolina Legislature, and f. M.
woodward, special counsel, conducted the
examination for the State and gave indi-
cation that the investigation will be ex-
haustive in every particular.
Asked concerning the relative cost OF
equipment, Mr.. Spencer said that between
1898 and 1905, the Increase had been 40.l9
per cent. on locomotives. 57.37 per cent
on box cars, 15S.SS on Nat cars, and 1926
on coal cars. The great increase on fiat
md coal cars, he said, was due to the sub
biiLuliOu Vi SlCtt " WOOd IA AhF 1'h-
struction.
Mr.. Spencer said that the cost of running
q PASSENGER train In North Carolina is
from 9S cents to s1.14 a mile, and that the
average earnings per mile on local pas
sci ger trains IT the State were from 20
cents to rs cents per mile. Most Of the
interstate travel, he said. Is on local
trains. Mr.. Spencer said that 1t cost from
3 to BE times as much per ton to handle
intra-state freight in North Carolina than
the average fci the entire system.
On cross examination Mr.. Woodward
asked the witness to give the gross earn
lngs of the Southern system in North
Carolina for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1906. He gave the gross earning on North
Carolina business from this statement as
81, 043, 727; the gross operating expenses for
the same period as SITS. 1893. but could not
give the amount of taxes paid during the
period nor the assessed valuation of the
property.
Mr.. Spencer admitted that there Is a con-
siderable volume of interstate business
handled on North Carolina local trains,
and, in fact, practically all of such inter
state freight except that originating at
division points or destined for such points.
