Railroads, is again on trial in
this city on charge of offering a
bribe to a public official to gain a
privilege for his corporation. Half of
the day had been devoted to interro-
cation of prospective jurors when the
first panel of 25 citizens was exhaust
ed and an adjournment taken until
next Wednesday morning.
Except for the absence of three or
four notable principals and the pres
ence of District Attorney w. Fl, Lang
don as chief prosecutor, the proceed
ings today differed in no particular
from the early stages of the first trial,
which lasted five months, and result
ed in disagreement just four weeks
ago.
None of the attorneys would ven
ture an opinion or guess as to the
length of time to be consumed in
completing the second jury, but the
task is generally acknowledged to be
one of the most difficult and tedious
that ever confronted court. 1t was
evident from today's examination that
most of the talesmen summoned were
anxious to escape from service on
any pretext, and few questions suf-
feed to disqualify in several instances.
Assistant District Attorney Francis
J. Heney is expected to assume charge
of the case when he returns from his
trip to Alaska, and John O'Gara, his
colleague in the first trial, will retain
his former position.
In contrast to the closing days OF
the litigation that ended with disa-
greement, when the courtroom was
packed to it's capacity, and men and
women fought for admission to Car
penter's hall, there were not a dozen
spectators in attendance today, even

tion Commissioner Smith, in his re-
port, says:
"This great mass Of the coast and
Great Lakes traffic is bulk. The enor-
nous development of the Great Lakes
business is largely due to the vast ore
and grain trade moving eastward and
the coal trade moving westward.
About 45,OOO,OOO tons of ore were
transported in 1907 eastward, and
about 10000 tons of coal were
moved westward in 1906. These great
freights, being all bulk and of uni
form character, received and deliv-
cred at few central ports, have pro-
duced a very highly organized system
of transportation and terminals, and
consequent low transportation cost.
