SUIT FOR Se,OOO, 900 DAMAGES.
Can the PennsyN ania u. u. Re Compelled
20 Produce Its Books In This Action?


WASHINGTON. April 2I.-The question
"a to whether or not railroad can be COM
PEELED to produce its books in a suit brought
against II under the Interstate Commerce
act for damages for alleged discrimination
will come before the Supreme Court on
Monday on petitions for writs of certiorari
TO review judgments of the Circuit Court
which practically gave them immunity.
The suits were brought against the Penn
sylvania Railroad for nearly 5000. 600
damages claimed by the Webster and the
Pennsylvania Coal and Coke companies
on account of determinations against
them in the supply of empty coal cars and
for allowances granted rival companies of
is cents ton for the use Of private spur
tracks during the years 1901 to 1904.
Another charge of preference is that the
railroad hauled and returned the cars Of
favored coal companies more eKpeditiosuly
They were tried in the Federal Court for
the Eastern District Of Pennsylvania
which, on the petitions Of plaintiffs, ordered
the railroad to produce its books showing
the daily distribution Of coal cars in the
Cambria Indiana Blair district. the per-
centage Of allotments Of cars among the
coal companies and the orders of the Off
cials in connection herewith.
From that order President Cassatt Vice
President ThayeT and ten other officers and
employees Of the Pennsylvania appealed
to the Court of Appeals, which by a d.
videi bench. on the basis of a prior dCt j.
sion, sustained their contentious that as
the provisions of section of the Inter-
state Commerce act, under which the
suits were brought, were penal in charaC-
ter, they could not he compelled TO produce

able. He also cOntended that the officials
were not the Gefcndants in the suits. but

was the only one that could prosecute an
appeal.
There are conflicting decisions on both
propositions in the various courts Of ap-
reals and the petitioners urge the desir-
ability Of uniformity as ground for re-
viewing the cases. in addition to setting

STABLEMAN LAYS TWO Low
And Fights the Police. VINO Arterward save
Him From Angry Crowd.

Joseph Bennett Of S25 Greenwich street
was locked up last night in the Charles
street station house on a charge Of
felonious assault. Bennett is employed
as a stableman by the Belvidare stables
at 727 Washington street. He was in
charge of the stable last night. when two
men returned with a rig which they had
hired.
Bennett and the men got into an argu-
ment over the price OF the rig and Bennett
drew a long butchers cleaver and rushed
on the two. The men fed before Bennett
reached them, but the noise OF the ARRAY
brought Thomas Brennan, another stable
hand, on the scene. Bennett had been
drinking and was wildly enraEed and imme-
diately charged at Brennan. Before Bren-
nan could escape Bennett cut a long cash
in his head and then proceeded TO pound him
until he became unconscious
John Rogers. also employed in the stable,
was Benefits next victim. Rogers came
to see what was going on and Bennett
also slashed him and beat him into insensi-
bility; but Rogers had been able to call
for help. and a number OF people gathered
about the stable. It was dark inside, how
ever, and no one would enter Sergt
Fogarty and the reserves from the Charles
street precinct arrived on a call for the
police. and after FOgarty had fired at Ben
nett 10 scare him the police entered the
stable. Bennett was not a bit dismayed,
and it was not until he had been knock ed
out with a nightstick that re was taken
Meanwhile a large crowd had collected
outside, and when the police appeared with
Bennett a concerted rush was made by the
crowd to get at him. Nightsticks we're
again drawn, and with the help Of addi-
tional policemen Bennett was finally landed
in the police station.

TEST or RELIEF PLAN FAILS.
Disappointing Demonstration Or POuIsOn's
Idea to Expedite Trafnc.

There was to have been a test at the
Culver road terminal at Coney Island yes
terday Of the Nils Poulson system of traffic
congestion relief. test that was made
with far from favorable results was not
OF his system, MIR. Poulson said. Chief
Engineer Lewis, who Is employed by the
Board OF Estimate, which ordered the test
said that the scheme tried was Poulson's
Affairs got to a stage where some one was
about to make Use OF a shorter and uglier
word when Borough President Ahearn
broke in and ordered that something be
done.
Mr.. Poulson's plan consists OF having
four pockets into which trains run a nd dis
charge passengers in series. When a train
empties and runs out another is sent in in
its place. That train, however, does not go
out until after the train on track is scnt
out. The incoming trains are held In block
so that they can run in as soon as there Is
roomfor them. IL ia asserted for this sys-
tenn that it takes only two minutes and a
half to empty a train and get il out again
The test yesterday began about $50
o'clock. There was not much power on
and the constant shifting Of four trains of
six cars each consumed so much current
that they were able 10 make only slow
progress. Eventually several trolley feed
wires burned out apd the whole thing wa
OF. The Culver terminal was used because
il is declared to be the same as the Man
haitian terminal in general conformation.
There were present Bridge Commissioner
Stevenson. President MCGOWAN OF the
Board Of Aldermen, Borough President
Ahearn. Comptroller Metz. Chief Engineer
Lewis. Dow +. Smith. general manager
Of the B. r. T., and several other engineers,
as well as Mr.. Poulson.
The four trains were started from the
pockets, but presently Mr.. Poulson noticed
that two pockets were empty and that no
trains were coming in.
Here, stop a minute" he cried "This
isn't my plan You're noe working it
right"
1It is your scheme, said Chief Engineer
Lewis. and l can show il from your writ
ings.'
This is a plan made up by the b. R.T.."
said Mr. Poulson "and il does not include
all the features OF mine And you can't
show me where l said that this hybrid is
mine"
They glared at each other and just then
Borough President Ahearn strolled up
He was amused at the non-success Of the
plan and was enlivening the cheer OF the
occasion with sarcastic remarks
What's all this7" he asked Aren't
you ever going to make these tests? We're
here TO see them. and If you don't hurry
up we'll go home
Then they went on and the trains missed
trolley pole connections and mot ormen
were nonchalant and lazy, and altogether
little or nothing was proved Then the
feed wires went out Of business and the
road was blocked for several hours
