FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE
HITS WESTERN FARMERS
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Starts Inquiry to Re-
lieve Congestion.

Declaring that the 10000 or more
freight cars which are standing idle In
New York is causing serious car short
age in the middle and far west, where
record-breaking crops are waiting to be
moved, producers have made complaints
to the Interstate commerce commission
that have brought about an investigation.
1t has developed that in Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas
City and other large cities. the conges-
ton of freight is serious and producers are
complaining of the inability of the trans
portation lines to move their shipments
promptly.
I'VE have received scores of COM

gun an inquiry. We are Informed that
in and about New York city the roads
are holding 10CoO cars loaded with ship
ments for export. On, shipments destined
to New York for local delivery the use
Of cars after arrival is permitted for
only two days. If, however, the contents
of the cars are to be transshipped by
boat, either coastwise or foreign, the
cars may be detained without the pay

days.

prevail at Boston, Philadelphia and Bal
timore.
The coal roads also have been allow
ing extensive reconsignment periods on
coal, especially from the anthracite fields,
where box cars are used almost ex-
clusively.
The commission is engaged now in
gathering the facts. Undoubtedly there
can be made a larger use of the present
equipment of the railroads than is being
made To bring about the full efficiency
of freight equipment 1T is not unlikely
that the commission may find it neces-
sary to draft and promulgate a code of
rules to govern the use of cars bearing
local shipments.

Relations With Mexico.

Mexico seems to be emerging from its
troubles. which have probably not been
as had as represented This government
has been careful to respect international
obligations in dealing with the questions
that have arisen in connection with the
disorders that have afflicted our southern
neiehbors and l have hope and con-
fidence that the patriotic spirit of the
Mexican people will lead to complete res
toration of the internal peace and har-
mony essential to their national welfare

USES BLOOD IN TEST.
Method of Scientist to Determine
Age and Sex.

PHILADELPHIA. October 7.-Experi-
ments with human hood conducted by
Prof. Reichert of the University Of Penn
sylvania are interesting his fellow
scientists. The professor says he has
been able to learn from a drop of blood
whether it is that of a white or a col
ored person, whether that of male or
female and approximately the age Of the
subject from which the specimen has
been taken.
All of this has been brought about by
the use of photography. by which the
microscopic particles of blood can be
studied with precision. Some Of the blood
corpuScles are but one 3,OOOth of an inch
long.
The experiments are being checked OF
and the scientist will shortly present to
the profession the result of his investiga-
tions. Within the next few weeks, he
says. he will be ready to publish an ac-
count of his tests. He predicts that
many of the older theories as to the
formation of the red and white corpus
cles will have to be revised.
