Sylvia serenely, yet there was the

amused Mrs. Ferrall to try her little
further.
"Oh, you think he really intended to
commit himself"

STRONG PLEA TO COMMISSION
Commerce Body Realizes Difficulty
Confronting Railroads and May
Grant ReIief-companies Declare
They Can Not Secure Competent
Operators Required by Law.

Washington. Feb. pa proposition
people residing at and in the vicinity
of small railroad stations thruout the
commerce commission in an informal
petition in which the Wabash Railroad
Company asks for an extension of time
of putting into effect the nine-houl
law, which applies to railroad en-
ployes who have direction of the
movement of trains.
1t is declared in the petition that un-
less the order of extension is made,
either by the commission or by con-
gress, the only alternative will be the
closing of large number of stations
on the Wabash road. This action, it is
recognized, will impair the efficiency
of the service and result in public in
convenience and interfere with the
prompt movement of trains. But the
Wabash officials assert they see no
way out of the difficulty into which
they will be plunged by the operation
Of the law.
1t is pointed out in the petition that
in order TO comply with the provisions
of the law the company would have to
employ an additional telegraph opera
tor at each of the 245 stations on it's
line. Thus far, the company says it
has not been able to secure the serv-
ices of efficient and competent opera
tors in such numbers as will enable
it to comply with the act.
Other railway companies have taken
the same ground as the
Wabash. They maintain their abso-
lutte inability to secure sufficient
of competent telegraph opera
tors TO man their wires as the law aft
er the 4th of March will require. 1t is
pointed out that in complying with the
law their only recourse will be to
transfer operators now in their employ
to stations of greater Importance and
many small stations where now one
operator performs the duties of ticket
agent, freight agent and telegrapher.
The seriousness of the situation as
by the railroads is realized
fully by the interstate commerce COM
some satisfactory adjustment of the
matter before the law becomes opera
tive.

GERMANY AFTER OIL TRUST.
Plans Government Monopoly That
Would Help Independent Companies.

| Would Help Independent Companies.
! Berlin, Feb. 2O-The imperial treas
ury department is considering the pos
sibility of a government petroleum
! monopoly. No decision has yet been
reached, but experts continue to study
plans for the taking over of the pusi-
ness of Germany of the Standard Oil
company, as we'll as that of this COM
pany's Russian and Rumanian COM
petitors.
Baron Won Zedlitz. leader Of the free
conservatives in the Prussian diet, who!
has made a special study Of the SUBJ
ject. says the empire would have to
make an initial outlay of $18,OOOOOO
for oil plants, tanks and the necessary
tank steamers and cars and that yearly
profits Of from ten to twelve million
would be expected. The baron is OF
the opinion that the government could
deal successfully with the probable re-
fusal of the Standard Oil company to
supply crude petroleum at a reasonable
rate and he thinks the requirements
of the government in American oil
would be supplied by Texas rivals OF
the Standard Oil company Experts
have found oils in Rumania, Galicia
and Russia cannot be used successfully
with the burners generally employed
in Germany without considerable
mixture of American petroleum, conse-
quently the projected monopoly must
include the buying of about 100000
tons of America oil year.
The imperial treasury finds this mat
ter full of difficulties, but it's examine
tion will be continued along with the
study Of the possibilities of creating 4
state monopoly in alcohol.

CAUGHT In DRIFT
Aged Mail Carrier at Boone Nearly
Perishes in Blizzard Found by a

Special 20 .r:mes-Republican.
Boone, Feb. 20.-H. d. Crouch. a
carrier on route 2, during the blizzard
yesterday, had a narrow escape from
death. He was making pathway thru
huge snow bank in the country to
allow his horse to get thru, when the
single tree broke. He unhitched the
horse and took the mail sack and
started for a house nearby. The ter
rifle wind and drifting snow pulled him
down repeatedly. By clinging to the
harness he was half dragged a short
distance. Then. overcome, he fell into
the big drift. He was later found by
Frank Oils, who saw the horse stand
ing near. Crouch is aged nearly rs.
He was taken to the home of George
Cooper and cared for. He will recover.
