MILEAGE HEARING
Commission Makes Extensive
Plans for Final Investigation
of DrummerS' Claims.

The Georgia railroad commission is
/ preparing 10 enter eXhaustively into
! the mileage pulling question. set fol
final hearing on October TO-
Both the railroads and the travelling
men realize that the commission is de-
termined to get right down to brass
tacks in this hearing, and they, as well
as the commission are preparing them
selves accordingly.
The commission has summoned nu-
! merous witnesses already. and today
subpenls for the following station
! agents were sent out: f. II. Barker
A. b. and A. agent at Talbotton; ]. M
WOoten. Unadilla, G. s. and F.. +. L.

mile c. of Ga.
Concerning the witnesses summoned
| today and previously, the commission
gave out a statement this afternoon. as
follows:
Conductors To Be Quizzed.
The commission selected names
of conductors of the highest profess
siOnal and personal character. with
/ experience, and running on day To-
cal trains, on five prominent Geor-
: gia systems. Information as to the
standing and character of these
men was obtained from outside per
sonal sources and not from any
railroad officials, not one having
been consulted. nor knew the COM
mission intended TO subpoena con-
ductors at all
1t has been COntended that con
duCtors do not have time to pull
mileage: that it would interfere
with their train duties and cause
delayed schedules. etc; that many
passengers would try to work short
mileage on them; would check bag
gage one route and travel another.
or a man holding mileage and no
baggage would check excess bag
gage for others. etc. The commits
sion wants first hand knowledge
from these men. and straight infor-
nation as to abuses practiced or at
tempted to be practiced on them.
The commission has selected on
each of the larger systems in the
state, without outside suggestion or
assistance. two stations-one strict
ly local and the other at a juno
ton point-and subpenaed agents
at these points. The station points
selected are typical of the fair
sized average Georgia town worked
by drummers.
All State Witnesses.
1t has been contended that sta
ton agents have too many duties
and too little help, and between
selling tickets, handling baggage,
express and freight, railroad and
commercial kilograms, etc, have not
time to exchange mileage promptly
thus delaying passengers.
The commission wishes to get
first hand knowledge from these
agents as to their duties. how long
it takes them to write out and is
sue mileage exchange tickets; how
long before train time the average
passenger calls for a ticket and to
have his baggage checked, etc;
what time they have to exchange
mileage. etc.
These conductors and agents are
all state witnesses. and will first
be examined by the commission.

tive association and the railroad

md will be rellshed by the AMI
mails quite as much as old sllage.
1t is quite generally conceded,
however, that silage which is a
months old is better than
newer silage. Some feeders pre-
fer silage that is six months to a
year old. 1t may be safely said
that sl.lage can be fed at any
time after the blower pipe IS

Silage is strong ia carbohy-
drates, the principal food require

protein to balance il. Alfalfa
hay is perhaps the cheapest and
best lOr this purpose. Through
out the alfalfa belt it should form
a part OF the ration where 9iiage
is used. This is not necessary
but simply makes 1t possible for
the feeder to gain a greater econ
omy in his operations and at the
same time give the animal a
wholesome, balanced ration.
Corn siIage may be fed out of

eat it without waste. La very

very good plan to give the hay If

10 to Is pounds at a feeding or 2
to 30 pounds per day. Som
large animals will take as high a
40 to 80 pounds of silage per da,

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. IA ten
thousand-dollar gold brick swindle per-
petrated three years ago on w. r.
Marion, a wealthy resident Of South
Bend, Wash, who has since died. was
disclosed yesterday, when a cheese
shaped brick" weighing 100 pounds
was declared at the United States
assay office here to be made of copper
coated thickly with pure gold.
Mr.. Marion, who is believed TO have
bought the brick" from a half-blooo
Mexican who visited him three years
ago, evidently discovered that he had
been swindled, but did not complain
and the success of the confidence mar
was brought to light only when his
widow began an investigation Of an ap-
parent $4,000 shortage in her hus'

Search Of his effects revealed the
golden cheese" reposing in the bottom
of trunk and brought to light a drafi
for $4,000 drawn by Mr.. Marion in
favor of himself and cashed by himself
at Seattle bank in October, 1909.
