FOR INQUIRY into
GRAND TRUNK
SUSPENSION
Move Made For investigation
BY Congress
BY SPECIAL COMMISSION
Congressman O'Shaughnessy Says
People of Rhode Island Have
Been Betrayed.

Washington. Dec. 3.-An investiga-
ton of possible violations of the Sher
man antitrust law by the Grand
Trunk, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road company in connection with the
building of the projected New Eng
land branch of the Grand Trunk, is
authorized by resolution introduced
in the House yesterday by Represen-
tatiye O'Shaughnessy of Rhode Is
land. The resolution would provide
for the election by the House of
special committee of seven members
to inquire into the circumstances sur
rounding the suspension of work on
the Grand Trunk line through south
ern New England. The matter is
now under investigation by the de-
partment of justice, following com
plants by citizens of Providence, X.
l., and other towns along the line of
the proposed branch
In a statement accompanying his
resolution, Representative OShaugh-
messy said: Acting in accordance
with the wishes of the people of
Rhode Island in particular and New
England in general, | introduced this
resolution for the appointment of an
investigating committee which would
go to the root of as dlsgraceful mat
ter as ever shocked the people in any
section of the United States. There
is no doubt in my mind that the peo-
pie of Rhode Island. who so generous
ly bestowed a charter upon the South
ern New England railway, have been
wilfully betrayed.
81 believe that there has been a
complete and thorough understand
ing between the president of the
Grand Trunk and the president of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad company in connection with
every detail of an agreement design
ed to throttle railroad competition in
New England and to betray an out
ragged people. believe that the Sher-
man antitrust law has been violated
in every part by an Infamous secret
agreement, so that the necessary rem
edy may be applied in due season.
Absurd explanations have been
made by the railroad officials involv-
ed, the most laughable of which is
the alleged financial shortage exper-
This absurdity becomes more strik-
ing when one reflects that the pres
dent of the Grand Trunk refused the
offer made from outside sources for
the completion of the work now bold
ly proposed to be abandoned. ! fully
believe that criminal conspiracy
has been entered into, and | sincere
ly trust that Congress will appoint
the committee sought by me in my
resolution.
81 intend to confer with Attorney.
General Wickersham in a day or two.
Perhaps his contemplated action may
make unnecessary any congressional
investigation, but | want to be read
with another remedy in case his de-
partment does not see its way clear
to solution of the problem"
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy's resolution was
referred to the committee on rules of
the House.

see actual working conditions, with
reference 10 the proposed "a hour
law now pending before The Vermont
State Legislature, the joint com
mittee on immigration and labor, of

The various departments were rapid

on those where women and children
were employed chiefly.
The visitors questioned many
young girls as to their ages. hours or
work and whether they wanted a
shorter working day. Chairman
Jose said, on leaving for Montpelier
tonight, that he had been surprised
to find the mill operatives apparently
so healthy and we'll fed. The Legis-
lators were received courteously at
all the mills and superintendent
were delegated to show them through
the plants.

DRIVING OUT SLOT MACHINES
Prosecuting Attorneys Going After
Gambling Devices

Barre, Dec. 3.-In line with the con-
certed action of prosecuting officers
throughout Vermont, States Attor-
ney ]. Ward Carver issued orders sat
urday which summarily established a
ban on all gambling machines and
other games of chance which may
have been conducted in any place OF
business in Barre The several own,
ers of such devices were notified of
the states attorneys decision Satur-
day, and officers at police headquar-
tiers have been instructed to arrest
all yiolators of the order in the tu-
ture. Ii is said that the practice OF
booming traffic in tobacco CONNECTION
cry and small wares through the me-
dunn of slot machines as well as dice
boxes and other contrivances has to
come a nuisance of late. Several COM
plants reached the states attorneys
department every week, and as such
chance appliances were in plain viola
ton of the statute, it was decided to
enforce the law TO the last letter.
Gambling machines and the like
were abolished in Montpelier Saiur-
day and the order was put into effect
in st. Adams last week 1t is ex-
pected that other towns in the state
where devices OF chance have been
running in free and easy way will
feel the effects of the ban.
Locally the order is taken to in
clude everything that offers an ele-
ment of chance to the buyer. Not on
ly will slot machines. dice bowes,
spinning reels and wheels be tabooed
but also the practice OF awarding
pipes, etc, to successful dice shak-
ers, Offering edible birds, etc, as a
premium to a lucky guesser and oper
ating seal cards whereby the winner
wins a gold-mounted pipe, a jacknlfe
inscribed with his lodge insignia, or
a five-pound box of confectionery. 1t
is a sweeping order. the dealers say,
although many of them agree that
its effect on business will not be so
bad after all

The loss is practically covered by in
surnace, but large amount of stock
in the building was uninsured. The
company will probably rebuild at
once. The mill had SO employees.
The origin of the fire is not known.
The fire company bent most of its
efforts to protecting surrounding
property as il was seen at once that
the building was doomed.

CAN'T RUN TRAINS
AND Drink RUM
At SAME TIME
Pennsylvania Road Enforcing Its
Taboo on Booze
MEN ARE DISCIPLINED
Conductors Reduced to Tralnmen
and Basgasemen Become Porters
Temporarily.

New York, Dec employees Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad have been
disturbed for several days by the dis
covery that the heads of the various
departments of the system have au-
thorized espionage for the purpose of
determining the identity of the men.
particularly those in the train SER
vice, who have been in the habit of
drinking Intoxicating liquors during
working hours or after their days
work.
AS result of Investigations made
very quietly several men have been
punished by reductions. Baggagemen
have been told that for certain
length of time they would do the
duty and draw the pay of baggage
porters, it is alleged, and even con-
ductors detected in the act of tipping
have been reduced to the rank of
trainmen.
Several men living out along the
line In order to save their positic MS
have, it is said, voluntarily accom-
panied representatives of the officials
to the offices Of justices of the peace
ana taken the pledge.
General Superintendent Frank L..
Sheppard of the Pennsylvania Rail
road denied last night that pictures
are being taken to get proof that en-
ployees visit barrooms.
'The heads of departments, he
said, have been instructed to take
measures for the correction of the
habits of their men If any need cor
recting and quiet investigation has
been made. You can't run trains
and drink rum at the same time
and the Pennsylvania insists that its
men shall be of exemplary habits al
ways.
Nobody has been obliged to take a
pledge. II anybody has sworn off he
has done so of his own free will.
Nobody has been discharged, but a
few men have been disciplined. The
number is remarkably small.

SOUSA'S MARCHES
London Musical Critic Says They
Are Best Of All.


Are Best Of All.
Comparisons are not usually con-
sidered to be in good form, but ii is
safe to say that even John Philip
Sousa would hardly take exception to
the opinion of an English writer in
the London vanity Fair" who, in
tending il as the highest compli-
ment, compared Sousa's music TO
that of Johann Strauss in three
terms.
Il have always had the greatest ad-
miration for Sousa. To begin with
he has solved the problem of how 20
look young at fifty. Furthermore,
apart to this stroke of genius, / am
honestly impressed by his marches;
the fact remains that they are the
best marches ever written. Indeed,
it is hardly too much to say that
Sousa is to the march very much
what Strauss is to the waltz,-and no
praise could be higher"
Sousa and his Band, with three
eminent soloists, Miss Virginia Root,
soprano. Miss Nicotine Zedeler,
violinists, and Herbert l.. Clarke,
cornetist, will be heard here on
Saturday evening at Bennington
opera house.
