Baltimore & Ohio to Fight Orders

Baltimore. Md. Aug. 24.-Declaring
that the interstate commerce commits
sion's order requiring railroads to re-
port violations of the so-called LaFol-
lette law. regulating the hours of labor
of railway employees. is unconstitution-

As Judge Morris Is not in town. no ac-
ton was taken today on the applica-

The railroad company contends that
the commissions requirement is uncon-
stitutional because it makes 1t incum-
bent upon the railroad to report to the
commission their own violations of the
law-violations which it is held are in
evitable from time to time on account
of oversight. 1t is charged that the
passage by the commission of this or
der was simply for the purpose of get

RAILROAD News.
New Reports Ordered by Com
mission Not Clear.
Are Too Complex to Be Readily
Understood by Public.
LACK MANY DETAILS.
Still Gives Roads Opportunity to
Cover Some Transactions.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

Railroads are beginning to issue their
statements of earnings for the first
month of the current fiscal year. The
effect has been to demonstrate that the
reports made by the roads to the in
terstate commerce commission and
communicated to the public by that
body will have to undergo consider
able alteration and application II
they are to prove of as much value to
the people generally as has been claim
ed for them by the commission and
those approving of its methods of OPP
Grafton.
During the last year when it has
been impossible to make comparisons
of any real value. owing to the differ
ence in the methods of bookkeeping
pursued, the assertion continually has
been made that at the beginning OF the
new fiscal year the benefits or the
change as ordered by the commission
would become apparent, as the state
ments would leave little or nothing to
be desired in the way of Information
regarding railroad earnings and ex-
penditures.
With the new statements. it has been
claimed, details Of earnings and ex-
penditures of every railroad engaged
in interstate commerce will be suscep-
tible of comparison each month with
the similar items of the corresponding
month last year, the nSuTeS III edcH
case having been made up under the
same rules of accounting.
1t appears, however, that the month
ly reports which the commission at
present requires takes no cognizance
of outside operations and other import
ant items, such as car hire, the aggre-
gate amount of which varies greatly
on the different systems. and which on
some roads make quite difference in
the final showing. According to the
commissions figures, gross earnings of
the New York Central. for example.
for IL months ended on June 30 last
were $S6,827. 000 Had the items men
toned been included, the amount would
have been s92. 100000.
The difference in the case OF this COM
pany, amounting to s., 500, includes
earnings of the marine service of the
road. elevator charges, storage of coal
and other articles, restraint and hotel
earnings and other miscellaneous items
of income which in previous years were
all Included in gross earnings.
The same condition of affairs was
new year issued by the Baltimore &
Ohio for July. which did not include
such items. earnings in consequence
being considerably lower. 1T will be
well for those interested to bear these
omissions in mind. else they will form
an entirely erroneous idea of how the
roads current earnings compare with
those of similar periods In the past.
Unless the commission sees fit to re-
uuire more extended monthly reports,
exhibiting in full all such charges, the
figures of number of important roads
will be misleading.

A BUSY TOWN.
Santa Fe Business Causes Newton to
Put on Airs.

Newton, Kan, Aug. 24.-Folks who
wandered down in the vicinity of the
depot last evening must have been i'm
pressed with the importance of New
ton as a railroad center, for the scene
was a great deal like that enacted
around Kansas City or Chicago on a
busy day.
Yesterday was the day for the semi
monthly homeseekers' excursions. and
in addition to this there we're two SOL
der trains while No. was several
hours off on account of having been
delayed out west by the wreck of a
freight train, and arrived here during
the rush of evening passenger trains.
There we're fifteen passenger trains
through here between $3.50 and 300
o'clock in the evening, towit: Two ex-
tras five sections of No. 8, one section
of No. 1, No. Z, No. 2, No. 4. No. 405,
No. sol, and two soldier trains. while
eight of these trains were in the yards
at the same time.
The eating places in the vicinity of
the depot were almost cleaned out of
cade and his corps of capable assist
ants served 312 suppers between GAO
and 900 and he was compelled to
close the doors at times in order to
keep the people out of the dining
room. A similar scene was witnessed
at Joe Murphy's as his place was over
run, and all of the smaller places had
their full quota.
Railroad officials say the crowd last
night was the largest of any for years.

Central Kansas Farmers Have
Only Praise for Crop.
Declare 1t the Best in Years
and Free from Worms.
MUST USE LADDERS.
Ears Are High, However, and
May Break Stalks.
Late Rains Have Been Timely
for the Grains Good.

Salina. Kan, Aug. 24.-According
to farmers in Saline county, corn
husking this year will be more trouble
than usual because Of the rank growth
of the corn. The stalks are higher
than ever this year. averaging twelve
to fifteen feet in most of the fields.
and the farmers say this will cause the
stalks to break, as the ears are usually
above the half way line on the stalks.
The ears are Of great weight and will
tend to pull the stalk down. It is
feared by farmers that there will be
more corn down" this year than
usual.
Farmers say the corn in this Sec
ton is now made and the rains of the
last few days have so thoroughly
soaked the ground that the crop
cannot suffer from lack of moisture.
Another rain may be needed by the
late corn. but so far as the early corn
Is concerned, good yield is now
guaranteed.
For the first time in years the ears
protrude through the husks, and the
grain Is well filled entirely to the end
of the cob.
The husks are not growing as
rapidly as the ear" said one farmer
today. "and this insures that for the
hrst time in a decade the corn will
be free from worms. 1t is the most
wonderful corn year central Kansas
mas seen in many years."

WALLINGFORD RESIGNS.
Popular Coast Line Omcial to Leave
Railway Service.

San Bernardino, Cal, Aug. 24.-H. ".
Wallingford, inspector of bridges and
buildings for the Santa Fe coast lines,
has rendered his resignation of that
position to take effect as soon as the
construction work now going on under
his supervision in this city Is COM
pleted Mr. Wallingford has not an
nounced yet what he will do after leav-
ing the railroad but says that he does
not intend to leave San Bernardino and
intimates that he has something in
view that looks very encouraging to
him.
During the time he has been with
the road Mr.. Wallingford has made an
enviable reputation in railroad circles
and his loss will be felt by the Santa
Fe. He came here nearly a year ago
to look after the construction work
started last fall and 1t is because he
likes this city that he has presented his
resignation. He had received notice
that after finishing his work here he
would be transferred to a point further
east and as he had decided to make
this city his home the change would be
very unsatisfactory to him. Accord
ingly he decided that he could not af-
ford to make the move and so sent in
his resignation which as yet has not
been accepted.

forts of Representative E. H. Madison
for an experiment near Syracuse. in
Hamilton county. with dry alfalfa"
which it is believed will be of interest
to all of the farmers living in districts

half acres. An expert will arrive in

will plant the seed. If the experiment
Is successful its value to western and
northwestern Kansas will be great.
