Hammond exclaimed jocularly: "A
brakeman by any other name is just
as sweet" He said it was not neces-
sary to designate him as a fagman.
He declared the statute was faulty.
Another point introduced by the de-
Tense was that the statute relates to
trains "sent out" and that a train op-
Grated from Buffalo to st. Louis as No.
is cannot be said to be sent out from
Indiana, but on the contrary, simply is
sent through.

FROM DOWN
THE STATE
Telegraph News by Direct
Wire from ALI Over
Indiana.

Lafayette, Ind. June is. - Argu.
ment on the action brought by the
state Of Indiana, through its railroad
commission, against the Wabash Rail
road company under the new train
crew law was heard by Judge DeHart
IN the circuit court here, and the pro
ceedings attracted large audience.
An affidavit was filed here against
the Wabash, charging that on April a
a passenger train. known as No. l.
was operating through Tippecanoe
county and through the state Of Indi-
ana without a full train crew as pro-
vided by the law of 1907.
What the Law Requires.
This law provides that a passenger
train consisting of more than i've
coaches shall be equipped with a train
crew of five men, consisting of engin-
eer, fireman, two brakemen and a flag
man, the duties Of the fiagman to be
those Of signalman and not the du,
ties Of a brakeman or any other en-
ploye. Martin n. Hugg, state senator,
appeared with Daniel T.. Flanagan,
prosecuting attorney, and the railroad
commission was represented by the
firm of Stuart, Hammond & Simms.
Following the filing of the affidavit the
defense filed a motion to quash. which
was overruled, and then a special an.
swer was filed. To this the state de-
INJURED and argument ON the demurrer
followed.
Flea That the Law Was Obeyed.
Hammond opened the argument. He
said 1t was the contention of the rail.
road company that the regulation OF
traffic on railroad running through
more than one state rests with the
national congress and not with the
state legislature. He said the lam
guage Of the statute was confusing.
and cited instances to support his ar
gument. The railroad company con-
tends that the crew on train No.
consisted of the required number of
emoplyes, but that they were not
specified as the statute provides. In
other words, that the train really had
crew as required by law, but that
the title of the several members did
not happen to be the same as the stat
ute provides.
