road officials and operatives from all parts
OF the country, at hearing before the In
terstate Commerce Commission to-day. dis
cussed uniform standards Of safety appIi-
ances.
Within fortnight the commission. by

number, location and application Of safety
appliances on railroad cars 10 comply
with the intent Of Congress to provide
facilities that will adequately protect life
and property. The regulations suggested
tentatively by conferences between railroad
men and. the commission during the last
six months were under consideration TO-
day. and on them the order of the com
mission viii be based

Holden. OF the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, speaking for the committee repre-
senting 200 operating roads. $4,000 miles Of
lines. 100000 cars and 5000 locomotives.
said il was the desire Of the roads TO reach
as high standard OF safety equipment as
possible. The cost of the proposed equip
ment, he added. would approximate So. Oo0.
600. He objected to some OF the proposed
regulations, because, in the opinion Of rail-
road experts they lacked heXibility.
President Gar-ettson Of the Order Of
Railway Conductors contended that the
adoption Of proper safety appliances was
merely a matter Of safety to employees Of
railroads and 10 the public and ought not
to be considered in the light OF expense.

NEW PLAN FOR IT'S TROLLEYS
New Haven Road to Rid Connecticut
COMPANY Of It's Debts.

New Haven, Oct. 29.--The plans for max
ing the Connecticut Company stand in a
new relation TO the controlling New York
New. Haven & Hartford Railroad corpora
ton provide for new capitalization Of the
former company, based chiefly on its bonded
debt and advances for improvements.
The bonded debt, including q debt of
about SO, 600, coo in bonds Of the parent
company, amounts to about $4,000, 600, and
the advances amount 10 100000 more.
In the new plan the parent and control
ling company takes all the Connecticut
Company's obligations, paying them as they
mature from the steam corporations re
sources, thus ultimately leaving the trolley
company free from debt, the former being
COMPENSATED by dividends on the controlled
company's shares, practically all of which
will be in the New Haven cOmpany's treas
ury
The Connecticut Company owns or con-
trolls about 50 per cent of the trolleys of
the State Of Connecticut Its gross re
ceipts amounted last year to nearly

SHOE MACHINERY co. SUED
Inventor Says 1t Is Violating
Sherman Anti Trust Law.

Boston. Sept 29.-Sued by the United Shoe
Machinery Company for breach of con-
tract. Euclid / La Chapelle, of Beverly.
an inventor OF shoe machinery. in the
company's employ, has virtually turned
complainant by asserting that the company
is violating the Sherman antitrust law
and by trying to compel the company Of
hcials to make public many private de-
tails of its business.
La Chapelle says that under contract he
entered the company's employ in January.
1906, for term OF ten years at a salary of
$50 week, the contract requiring that he
turn over TO the company all his fnevn-
tons and patents during that term After
serving two years La Chapelle secured a
patent for a lasting machine which he
refused to assign to the United Shoe Ma
chinery Company unless he was paid s5O-
oVO Thereupon the company brought suit
TO have the contract enforced.
In his answer to the complaint filed to-
day La Chapelle says that he signed the
contract under an agreement that he should
be paid a fair market value for his inven-
tons; that this promise was not to be
incorporated into the contract. but that
he could trust the company to treat him
fairly. He declares that for more than
ten years the United Shoe Machinery Com
pany has secured the services OF nearly
every inventor of shoe machinery under
similar contracts, and alleges that this has
created monopoly in restraint of trade
in violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
In his motion before the Superior Court
to-day La Chapelle asked that President
Winslow of the United Shoe Machinery
Company be required to answer a number
OF questions relating to the company's
business and its relations with shoe manu-
facturers.
Judge Pierce this afternoon denied this
motion. It is understood that La ChapelIe
will carry this point in the cases TO the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts,

London. Sept 29.-As had been antici-

count rate TO per cent to-day.
The advance was due chiefly to the large
