RAILROADS
GAIN POINT
Have Right to Impose Demur-
rage Charges On
Private Cars
COMMERCE COMMISSION
SUPPORTS CONTENTION

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.--The rail-
roads scored a notable victory today
whch the Interstate Commerce Com
mission decided that they have the
right to impose such demurrage
charges on private cars as they see
fit.
The right was contested by the
Proctor and Gamble Soap Company,
which owns about 500 oil tank cars
used by the railroads, in what was
Virtually a test case against the Gin
cinnau. Hamilton and Dayton oand
other railroad companies. The soap
manufactures objected specifically to
the demurrage charges which are inn
posed on private cars standing ON
private tracks until they are being
unloaded. Il was argued that TO
force car owners to remove their
freight in order to escape storage
would be unfair and that no benefit
could come either to the public 0r
the carrier through Unnecessary la
bor"
The railroads contended they used
private cars as a favor TO their own
ers. Once having been placed in SER
vice, a car ceases to be private they
said, until it reached its owners pri-
vate tracks empty.
The commission ruled that railroad,
not being forced to use private cars
might impose such conditions, as it
saw 1t in return for consenting 20
use them and that any demurrage
charges imposed must be paid.

Governor Pennewill was a Whining
ton visitor yesterday and this morn
ing He attended the dinner given by
state Senator-elect Charles r. Miller
to the Republican members of the
State Senate and few other guests
yesterday This morning the Governor
was at the Clayton House. and when
asked about the resignation of Resi-
dent Judge Daniel o. Hastings he ad-
mitted that he had received II. The
letter of resignation received by the
Governor, and which made public. is
as follows:
Wilmington, Del. Dec. 10, 1910.
Hon. Simeon S. Pennewill, Governor
OF Delaware. Dover, Del.
My Dear Governor Pennewill: l
hereby tender you my resignation as
Associate Judge of the state of Della
ware, resident in New Castle county.
to take effect upon the adjournment
OF the Supreme Court for the day, on
Tuesday, January Is, 1911, or as soon
thereafter as my successor can be an
pointed and confirmed.
While / assume that il is hardly
necessary for me to explain here my
reasons for resigning, I will repeat
that which | have said to you many
times personally with respect to my
remaining on the bench. The fear
l expressed to you az the time l ac-
cepted the Office has been fully real
ized, namely, that the salary would
not be sufficient for me TO maintain q
house in Wilmington aud SUPPORT my
family as tns same chonlG be main-
talned and supported The only man
VINO can AFFORD to accept this Office is
he VINO has no family TO SUPPORT or
who has been able 10 accumulate
something in the past, the income of
which will make a substantial 4ddi-
uon tc the salary
The responsibility and the honor
which go with the position / now oc-
cupy are sufficient TO satisfy my ann
bitions as a lawyer, and my personal
relations with my associates on the
Bench are SO pleasant that a sever
ance from them in an ofhcial way
brings TO me a sorrow which win be
everlasting. My resignation iherc-
fore, Is not a matter OF choice, it lis
one of necessity.
Il must again express to you my
very sincere appreciation of the con-
fidenSe you have placed in me, and to
assure you that ] have done what
could to make myself worthy of it.
with kindest regards and best
wishes, I remain,
Yours sincerely.
Daniel o. Hastings"
Judge Hastings Future.
Judge Hastings was seen at noon
and told that the Governor had made
public his letter of resignation. The
judge was asked as to his future
plans, and he replied:
MY reason for resigning is stated
in my letter TO the Governor. This is
the real reason, and the only rea-
son. The suggestion that have re-
signed TO become a candidate for At
torney-General is foolish. / have no
plans which extend so far into the
future. Indeed / have no plans at
all, except to get back as soon as
possible the Law practice l had when
| was appointed to the bench"
Governor Pennewill to-day said he
did not know when he would name
the successor to Judge Hastings The
appointment Of Philip Q. Churchman
is regarded as most likely for resi-
dent judge.
Some other names mentioned are
Frank L. Speakman, John p. Nieldsl
and David ]. Reinhardt.
