I When the nine hour hearing was re-
sufied to-day by the Interstate Com
merco Commission only n few repre-
scented compaiiies which had made ap-
plicatlon under the law for extension
of time for Its enforcement remained
to be heard. John l.. Davis. the super
intendent of telegraph Of the Evans

that 1t was impossible for his line to
secure competent and dependable OPP
orators to man their stations He ex-.
planned that during the past four.
months there had been such slump
in the business of the road that some
OF the offices which had been estab-
lished previously were not needed at
the present time
George r. Peck. general counsel for

brought to conclusion with a state

In behalf of the various petitioners.
In his opinion, scarcely one of the
had presented arguments
Which ought to induce the commission
