AFTER "PENNsY" PROXIES
Planning for the Annual Meeting on
Tuesday, March 8.

Holders of stock in the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company are receiving requests
for proxies to be used at the annual
meeting of the stockholders Tuesday
March 0, and also for the annual cleo
ton of directors. to be held Tuesday
March 3d. from George l.. Ware Of Bos-
ton On the reverse side of the proxy
it is stated that it will be voted in favor
of such action as Is necessary to insure
the sale of the pending issue of Penn
sylvania Railroad Company securities to
the highest bidder, and to prevent sale of
said securities to any banking house or
syndicate of underwriters at less than
their fair market value.
In a circular which is inclosed with
the proxy blank is statement of Mr..
Wares position. Mr.. Ware points out
that at the last sale of $4O.O0O,OOO of
bonds by the Pennsylvania, In March.
1908, the underwriting syndt ate bought
them at about 96 and sold them the
same day to the general public at above
par. where they have been selling ever
since.
March the Pennsylvania will effect
loan Of $sO.OOO.OOO. and Mr.. Ware de-
clares that he can. II his plan Is adopted,
secure a considerable saving to the treas
ury Of the company. One of his great
objections to the present plans, as they
are supposed to be. Is the fact that they
and possibly all of the securities abroad.
This Mr.. Ware objects to on the ground
that these securities should be held in
this country, that the wider the holding
here, the less chance of adverse legiSla-
ton or feeling there will be.

COMPANY NOT HELLO BLAMABLE
INFANT CHILD'S FOOT CUT OFF
BY RAILWAY TRAIN.
Boy Had Attempted to Hand It tt
Mother, But Tripped and Fell
Over q Truck.

The question whether a railway COM
pany is responsible for damage done to
an infant ch',U in an accident on ifs
road when due to the negligence of the
childs mother was involved in the case
Of Samuel Calhoun versus the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company.
which vas decided yesterday by the SUI
preme Court of the United States against
the claim In August, 1904. Mrs. Anna
Calhoun, mother of Samuel, then eighteen
months old. arriving at Edmond. Okla.
handed the child to boy on the
platform whom she believed TO be an en-
ploye of the company. Before she could
alight the train stated. The boy ran
to return the baby to the mother and
fell over truck, throwing the child
under the moving train, which cut off
one of the child's feet. The territorial
court at Edmond awarded $4,000 dam
ages and the Oklahoma supreme court
approved the verdict, remarking that
even If the mother had been negligent
the opinion was by Justice Moody and re-
versed the territorial court.
The vital que stion involved was wheth er
the railroad company had been negligent
in leaving the truck where 1t was. JUS
tice Moody found that the truck stood at
place where passengers would not be
expected to get on or Off trains and
consequently held that the company was
in no wise responsible for the baby's in
jury. The justice said that the company
could not be expected to protect the pub
lie against such foolhardy proceeding
as there was In trying to get off and on
che train.

PRESIDENT EULOG|zES TAFT
SKETCH OF PRESIDENT-ELECT
IN INAUGURAL SOUVENIR.
Biography Of the Next Vice Presi-
dent Prepared for the Same Pub
LEGATION by j. Sloat Fassett.

A feature of the Inaugural Souvenir Is
sued by the committee In charge Of the
inaugural ceremonies is a biographical
sketch of President-elect Taft by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t has peculiar signifi-
canoe in view of the rumors that have
been published to the effect that friction
existed between Roosevelt and Taft. The
keynote of the Presidents sketch may be
found In these words:
No man Of better training. no man Of
more dauntless courage, of sounder COM
mon sense and of higher and finer char
acter has ever come to the Presidency
than William Howard Taft"
The President in concise terms prefaceS
this statement with history of the Pres
ident-elect, touching simply upon the pub
lie achievements of the man. In one
place he says, referring to Taft as solici-
tor general:
He won an envable reputation and
succeeded to remarkable degree in
combining entire fearlessness in stating
and upholding his own convictions with the
ability to avoid giving needless offense
to those whose convictions differed from
his. The combination of these qualities
Is rare. There are too many men IN
public as in private life who will not
stand by their convictions in time OF
stress: and there are also not a few who
having the right convictions and the
courage to stand by them, nevertheless
put them forward in the most offensive
manner-in the manner best fitted to. pre-
vent their becoming the convictions of
any considerable number of their fellow.
countrymen. 1t Is one of Mr.. Tatts
great gifts of usefulness that he possesses
exactly this ability-the ability unf1inch.
ingly to stand by the right, and yet TO
do II with the minimum Of offensiveness
toward those who do not put matters as
clearly as he does"
The President thus refers to Mr.. Taft's
judicial record: 1T fell to Mr. Taft TO
decide a number of cases In winch lie
bIazed in advance the trail that all our
judges must in the end follow. This was
notably the case both as to corporations
and of the rights of labor"
The same souvenir contains a biography
of James Schoolcraft Sherman by Rem
resentative ]. Sloat Fassett of New York,
in the course of which he says: After
twenty years of almost continuous service
in Congress it is a very significant tribute
to a man to be able truthfully to say that
he has no enemies on either side Of the
House"

The demand that the government attor-

1t will be the contention of the oil COM

cause only thirty-six settlements were
made with the Chicago and Alton railroad
for the shipments of oil made from Whit

The government will contend that each
shipment of oil during that time, at a
