Third-Rail System for Tunnels

After building several experimental
single-phase locomotives and thorough.
ly trying them out with various troll.
ley constructions over an experiment..
al five-mile track, equipped with va.
rious forms of trolley constructions
the Pennsylvania railroad has decid.
ed to adopt a third-rail dir~ect-current
system for its tunnels under New York
city. Three-phase ~25-cycle current will,
be supplied at 1000 volts from Long
Island City, and at various sub-sta.
tons it will be converted into 600 volts
d~irect-current. Steel motor cars and
trailers will be used for the suburban
traffic, while electric locomotives will
be used for through trains. The de.
sign of these locomotives has not az
yet been definitely decided upon.-sci.

FREIGHT is AGAIN MOVING
Committee of ST. Paul Merchants
Find Conditions In Strike Zone
Satisfactory.

ST. Paul, Minn.-Fifteen prominent
jobbers and manufacturers, constitut-
ing a committee of the Jobbers'
union, and the manufacturers of st.
Paul Tuesday, made a personal in
spection of the terminals and transfer
stations in and about the Twin city
for the purpose of ascertaining for
themselves the actual traffic condi-
tons as a result of the switchmen's
strike.
After a tour in a private car the
committee gave out statement to the
effect that "the freight is being moved
in very satisfactory manner, and al
though normal conditions do not pre-
vail at all points, a volume of bust
ness above normal was being handled
at some point. We feel justified
therefore in announcing to our Gus
toners throughout the entire north
west that they may order goods free
ly without fear of serious delay"
L. E. Sheppard, senior vice-president
of the Order of Railway Conductors,
who has been in st. Paul for few

tors that they must observe strict Deu-
trality and that they should "act as
they did before the strike, no more,
no less"

CONGRESS- TO AID WATERWAYS
PRESIDENT SAYS ACTION WILL
BE TAKEN THIS SESSION.
Several Delegations Visit White House
and Receive Gratifying Assur-
ances from Taft.

characterization Taft gave
assurances that steps of an important
character toward the development
of system of waterway inn
provement in the heart OF the country
would be taken by the present con-
gress. These assurances were given
to delegations which he received at
the White House.
Four governors and two ex-govern-
ors headed the committee of 500.
which had been charged by the New
Orleans convention to present to the
president resolutions asking for a ID
foot channel for the Mississippi.
Gov. Deneen presented the resolu-
tons and the president replied in
part:
Il hope that we are all engaged in
a work in which we stand shoulder
to shoulder, without respect to a par
ticular locality, and that if you gen.
tlemen who are interested in par
ticular improvement find that your
view may not be entirely met and that
your particular project may not be the
first one taken up in a substantial way
it will not prevent your welcoming a
a step by congress that when taken
means the embracing of every i'm
provement that ought to commend it
self to those who are familiar with
congress-
Mr.. Taft expressed to the Ohio dele
cation, who sought his support for a
nine-foot channel from Pittsburg to
Cairo, regret that his remarks before
the rivers and harbors congress had
cast "wet blanket" over the conven-
ton, and said that he had only In
tended to help the gathering along by
pointing out the practical method of
accomplishing the object desired.
Mr.. Taft said he had been assured
by members of committees which have
such legislation in charge that the
whole matter of waterway improve
ment would receive earnest considera-
ton during the present session.
