spinners responded.
Any trainman or engineman on
the Hartman system who comes into
a terminal with a clean face and
novel order recently has been promul-
gated on the lines Of the Southern
Pacific, a Hartman property, and Is
general from coast to coast. The or
der Is a step toward the prevention
of wrecks. A study Of the wrecks or
the system developed the fact that
majority occurred in the yards or
near terminals of the divisions. This
situation led to the belief that as the
train approached the terminal all
hands relaxed vigilance. 1t was found
in these cases that the crews took
time to wash the CRIME from their
hands and faces as they would enter
the terminal, turn over their train
and leave the yards at once. By the
terms of the order ablutions are per-
mitted only after the train Is IN.
Should an employee come into the
terminal with shiny countenance and
pink, rosy hands this fact hereafter
Is to be taken that he neglected his
duties and he becomes liable to dis
charge.

Gus witnesses and the situation arous-
ed Senator Kenyon Of Iowa Now,

declaration to the investigating COM
mittee Of the Illinois senate that Mr..

Penrose had expressed a desire for
Mr.. Lorimer's election, friends Of the
president were prompt in their denial
that Mr.. Taft was in any way inter-

Atlanta, Ca, June 2S: AS the re-
suit of a meeting of the railroad men
held recently in Spartanburg, definite
arrangements have been made where
by the Carolina. Clinchfield & Ohio
railway Is to be leased by the Chesa-
peake & Ohio and the Seaboard Air
Line. This means through trains from
Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburg and in
termediate points OF the middle west
via the Chesakeape & Ohio, the Clinch-
field and the Seaboard Air Line to
points in the south through to the
gulf. The Clinchfield road will be ex-
tended from st. Paul, Va, 40 miles to
Elkhorn City, KY, where connection
will be made with the Chesapeake &
Ohio. The Seaboard Air Line already
connects with the Clinchfield at Bos-
tic, n. c. The meeting at Spartanburg

largely instrumental in bringing about
the new arrangement. The Clinch-
field occupies strategic position as 1t
holds the only gateway through the
mountains, giving connection with the
middle west. The Clinchfield was
built by the Cumberland corporation
and the total investment in building
the road and purchasing coal lands
was something over $55.000,000. 1t is
learned that existing relations Of the
Clinchfield railroad with other connec-
tions will not be disturbed.
Atlanta, Ca, June 2S: The Geor-
gia legislature convened today for its
biennial session, perfected its organ
ization and prepared for the inaugura-
ton of Gov-elect Hoke Smith next
Saturday. Both houses devoted much
of the time they were in session to lis
tening to the message Of Gov. Jos. NJ.
Brown, the retiring executive, which
was read in full. The governor recon-
mends that the number Of railroad
commissioners be reduced to three and
that the office of special attorney of
the commission be abolished. He ia
vors a general bill permitting any city
to vote on commission government; the
establishment of a department Of la
Dor and the creation of the office Of
road commissioner, with a co-operat-
ing advisory board. He declares that
the state should have no laws that are
not enforced and that those that can
not be maintained should be repealed.
While the general assembly was pre-
pairing to get down to business, the
several candidates, receptive and 9TH
erwise. for the senatorial toga of the
late Senator Clay were busy laying
their plans for the contest anticiDated
when the legislature begins balloting
for United States senator on July IL.
Most important in the days develop
ments in the senatorial race was the
announcement of Railroad Commits
sioner Murphy Gambler of De Kalb,
that he would be candidate only in
event Hoke Smith declines to allow his
name to be used. Mr.. Smith continues
TO maintain the attitude of silence he
assumed when he was first suggested
for the senate. His friends, however,
are openly active in his behalf and
some Of them are venturing the pre-
diction that he will be named on the
first ballot. The situation looks rosy
enouoh to me-" was the confident COM
ment of Senator Terrell. Both Pleas
ant A. Stovall and Judge w. A Cow
ington appeared equally confident
when questioned as to their chances.
