Author Rests Beside Green Rock
ing Horse of Youth

TULA, Nov. 22-Throughout the
night and during the early hours of
today special trains arrived at Zaseikai
the railway station near Yasnaya Poll
ana estate, bearing delegations to the
funeral of Count Toltsoi. Students OF
Moscow occupied twenty-three coaches
Following Count Tolstoi's written re-
quest, his grave has been made under
Poverty Oak" in the spot where in
childhood he buried a green rocking
horse. This reference was to an cpl
sode in the early life of Tolstoi and
his brothers, who, with childish rites
consigned to the earth a hobby horse
in the belief that when it was disin-
TERED reign of happiness would be
inaugurated.
The special train bringing the body
from Astapova arrived at the Zaseika
station this morning. The funeral
party was met by tnrongs Of mourn
ing peasants who since daylight had
been vending their way thither from
the surrounding countryside. Accord
ing to the Russian custom, TolstoPs
sons were the bearers and carried the
coffin on their shoulders over the two
miles separating the station from the
novelist's home at Yasnaya Poliana
The route across gently slopine
fields and through the wooded park OF
the estate to the house was lined with
mourners. Peasants marched at the
head of the procession carrying white
banners inscribed:
LEO Nikolaievitch, the memory OF
your goodness will never fade from the
minds of the orphaned peasants"

NEW SCIENCE OF
BUSINESS PROBED
Commerce Commission Holds the
Railroads Must Use Modern
Methods on Lines
RATE RAISE INVESTIGATE
Witnesses Admit Morgan Syndi-
cate Was Anxious That
They Testify
(Associnted Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Testimony
instigated by j. p. Perkins OF j. T.
Morgan & Co., the New York syndicate
that is said to finance and control many
railroads of the country, analytic ex-
coriation of manual and mechanical
methods of railroads and discussion
of scientific principles of business, fea-
tured todays freight rate increase
hearing.
1t was the second day of the presen-
tation of the shippers argument be-
fore the interstate commerce comm1s-
sion on the suspension Of proposed ad-
vances in the tariff in a great guam
tity of the traffic moving over the
entire classification territory.
A delegation of officials from the
Grand Rapids Furniture industry in
Michigan appeared at the hearing.
While voicing opposition to the pres
ent eastern trunk line advance plan
they testified that they would have no
complaint to make II the increases
proposed were not confined to one sec
ton, otherwise discriminative.
Then, through the prodding of At
torney Lyon of the commission it was
disclosed and admitted by two of the
men called by the shippers that the
appearance of themselves and the other
Grand Rapids people representing
many millions of dollars of invest
ments was at the suggestion of one OF
the heads OF the Morgan syndicate,
who thought that as a matter of fair
ness the shippers should express their
views.
The testimony failed to show any
suggestion from Mr.. Perkins that the
consumers also should present their
views, though 1t was intimated that
If the railroads and the shippers agreed
as to the sweeping increase in freights
of several thousand kinds across the
continent with an aggregate addition
of millions of the railroad earnings,
the burden would rest upon the con-
sumers.
President Henry H. Towne. a manu-
facturer and head of the Merchants
association of New York, contended
the railroads should first put their own
house in order, as he expressed 1t,
that they should install modern meth
ods of business, which was just as
feasible for them as for any other in
dustries, and that If scientific agree
ment could not produce economies to
meet the revenue needs, then he
would join with them in their demand
for rate increases. He depicted in
glowing terms the big business strides
under scientific management.
Commission Prouty advised counsel
today that the shippers have made out
their case so far as workings of the
scientific system in the plants de-
scribed were concerned and that II
was perfectly evident that a system
that worked out so well in one plant
might be worked out similarly in
other plants
