ers burned the Illinois Central stations at

turbancc.
1.-TWO weeks ago when a squad of SOL
diers visited Cobb they were ordered
away, food was refused them and they
were told they would not be permitted to

ing twenty masked and armed night riders
captured the telephone exchange. took the
two operators with them to the station

The first step toward prosecuting local

ed control of the local railways in the

taken today. A warrant was issued for
the arrest of Frederick Wilson. a motor
man in the employ Of the Capital Traction

Explaining the status of the United

quest Of the commission. Before bringing
prosecutions here we confer with the Dis

History Of the Complaint.
The history of the complaint and the
manner In which the matter was placed
In the hands Of the United States attorney
for prosecution Is that during the morning
of June II last Bicycle Policeman Lau-
ten Of the sixth precinct was perform
ing duty ON Pennsylvania avenue and his
attention was attracted to the speed of
a car between ~ street and the Peace
Monument, under the control of Frederick
Wilson, motorman. Lauten paced the car
and says IT was moving at the rate Of
twenty-five miles an hour, according to
the speedometer attached to his police
bicycle.
Later in the day Lauten appeared be-
fore Assistant Corporation Counsel Pugh
and requested a warrant for the arrest of
Wilson. alleging violation of the speed
regulations. The request was In accord
ance with custom. Lauten. was surprised
when told that such prosecutions could
no longer be handled in the District
branch of the Police Court. That evening
the policeman reported the matter to his
commanding officer. who referred 1T to
Maj Sylvester, superintendent of police.
Referred to Commission.
The superintendent, in turn, forwarded
Lauten's communication to the District
Commissioners, who carefully inquired
into the matter and then sent the papers
in the case to the interstate commerce
commission. This was followed July IA
by a conference at the instance of Chair
man Knapp of the latter commission. at
which Mr.. Knapp. the members OF the
District electric railway commission. Mr..
Baker and Mr.. Ralph Given were present,
at the request of Commissioner Knapp.
The result of this conference. it is
stated, was that Mr.. Baker and his rep
resentatives consented to prosecute cases
coming under the jurisdiction Of the in
terstate commerce commission.

of a factory for the manufacture of
cyenamide and lime nitrogen

of a factory for the manufacture of
cyanamide and lime nitrogen:
" One OF the many industries in this
growing. city is the manufacture of
cyanamide. Hundreds of men are
now employed in erecting the first
permanent building, the contract
for which. was awarded TO a firm In
New York city. The structure now
being erected measures $50 by $50
feet, being Sc feet in the highest
part. Three other buildings will be
started during the month of August,
each of which will be 100 feet
square.
Coke and lime are used in the
manufacture OF cyanamlde by means
of an electric furnace, the resulting
compound being In turn pulverized
and combined in a second electric
furnace with nitrogen from the ali :,
secured by liquid-air process. The
material thus obtained contains 20
per cent in weight of nitrogen, the
balance being the coke and lime
compound which serves to bind the
nitrogen. This compound is calci-
um cyanamide or lime nitrogen, and
when sown In the soil II decomposes
and dlssolves In contact with the soil
moisture, Is then absorbed through
the roots of the plants and becomes
a valuable constituent. Three years
of actual use upon farms in Europe
has proved the value OF this sub
stance in connection with the wheat
eorns, oats, barley, rye, rice, tobac-
co and other crops. Some crops have
been doubled by its use.
The present plant, which is of
5000 tons capacity, must be regard
ed as an Introduction OF this new in
dustry. Plans are already in prep
aration for the establishment OF a
plant Of 10000 tons capacity.
