Railroads Use Autos.
AS is the case in France. automo-
biles are being used very largely by
the railroads Of England. The Eng
lish companies are operating the mo-
carrying of passengers to points be-
yond the ternnini of branch lines, but
also as trucks for carrying baggage
and freight to and from the shippers
houses, according to Albert Halstead,
United States consul at Birmingham.
He says:
I'm the United Kingdom it is Gus
tomary for the railways both to call
for freight and to deliver it to the
door of the consignee. Prior to the
development of the motor vehicle
railways called for and delivered mer-
chandise with horse-drawn vehicles,
but within the past few years they
have substituted gasoline-draw COM
mercia1 motor cars for this purpose.
'"This is one important feature. but
of nearly equal Importance is the ten
dency of great railways to bid for
passenger traffic in parts of the coun-
try which their lines do not reach by
means of a road-motor service. Fore
most among the railways thus uti1iz-
ing motor vehicles is the Great West

PREPARES
CASES AGAINST
8POLICEMEN
Commissioners Declare They Will
Probe Charges to the Very
Bottom July 8.

Chief of Police Beavers Monday
prepared formal charges against the
eight policemen, the revelations Of
whose alleged conduct in a notorious
negro resort in the rear of 127 Au-
burn Avenue created a sensation last
week.
The charges will be submitted for
the action of the Police Commission
when it sits July s. The general ac-
cusation will be that of conduct un-
becoming a police officer.
The specific charges will include the
allegations that several of the officers
involved in the unsavory scandal
were in the habit of frequenting the
resort; that some of the men were
accustomed to drink liquor there and
that all of them knew of the exist
ence of the place which was being
conducted in violation of the law.
To investigate Quarrel.
Reference also will be made to the
quarrel in the resort between two of
the officers one Sunday morning
about three months ago. in which a
shooting is said narrowly to have
been averted by the interference of
one of the negroes. Mack c. Folds
and J. ?. Born were the policemen
whose names were mentioned in this
connection,
The other patrOlmen whose cases
win be considered by the commission
are J. J. Jackson, J. E. Mcdaniel, L.
w. Evans, r. r. David, -. H. Bailey
and r. a. Wood
Wood, as soon as the charges
against him were made public, denied
them in so far as they implied wrong
doing and sent in his resignation.
Chief Beavers said Monday that the
resignation would not be accepted but
that it would be sent to the Police
Commission along with the charges.
Commissioners Aroused.
The Commissioners have expressed
themselves as greatly aroused by the
revelations of alleged police corrup-
tion and have asserted that the probe
viii continue until every person on
the force against whom adequate evil
dence can be obtained has been dis
charged or disciplined.
The eight men admit they have Wis
tied the place, which is conducted by
a negro woman, Ola Bradley. but they
say that it was in their regular line
of duty Most of them deny drinking
there. Those who admit this phase Of
the charges explain that they bought
liquor to obtain evidence against the
place. They declare the charges are
unjust in the extreme and that they

Judge Larned Hand Of New York, went

have told him better than that You and I
know that when one Of us Europeans get
nicely adjusted to lot of conventional lies,
we don't thank anybody for impertinently
disarranging our harness by telling us the
truth.
1t has only been few years, historically
speaking, since the Swiss put man to death
because he laughed at the story of William
Tell, his boy, and the apple.

ourselves to FICTION, q0e regard TRUTH,

Brother Shastri made that painful discov-
cry, the very minute he opened his mouth
about Foreign Missions.
He had no motive to tell lies. He spoke

ship. He is witness who testi6es to what he
has seen with his own eyes. He has lived
among these missionaries, been on the best of
terms with them, and has no axe to grind.
. He is not an American traveller who stops
at a mission station, is Hospitality entertained
by the missionaries, shown around the station
by the missionaries, brought into contact with
converts" whose names are on the mission
airy payroll, and then gives a statement to
the missionaries, which the missionaries can
send to the Boards and their substituted
papers, in this country.
Nor was Shastri an American politician,
hurrying around the earth to see the sights,
looking in at the mission station as one of
the shows, and then handing out testimonial
which the politician knows will make him
popular with the mission faddists of the Uni
ted States.
Dr. Shastri is just an honest Hindoo whose
purpose it was to give a true account of the
prevailing methods of mission work, i,s has
0aOm coel'atry, and among has oacm people.
What better evidence could the churches
demand?
What better witness can they introduce?
If he tells the truth why should he be
silenced?
If they doubt his word why not appoint
committee of impartial laymen to inoesti-
gate?
IF he told lies, why not denounce him as a
liar, and expel him from membership among
