TELEGRAPH ROAD
GRADE CROSSING
Court Of Appeals to Review
Order of Corporation
Commission.
A DANGEROUS PLACE.
Tribunal Grants Writ of Error in Fa-
NOUS Case-New Questions Will be
Presented During Review.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 2S.-The Su-
preme Court decided yesterday TO
review the proceedings in the now
famous Telegraph Road Crossing
case in which the State Corporation
Commission reversed its former rui-;
ing by exempting the county of Fair
fax from sharing in the expense Of
eliminating the grade crossing at
Telegraph Road, just outside of AL
eNandria. The case is styled the
Commonwealth of Virginia, at the
relation of tie State Corporation
Commission, against the Southern
Raiiway an the Washington South
trn Railway Company.
The court granted the railways Il
writ Of error IN their appeal from the
State Corporation Commissions or
der of October 27 instructing them to
proceed at once with the elimination
of the grade crossing of Telegraph
Road at their own expense. Hereto
fore the commission interpreted the
law to provide that the expense of
elil mating grade crossings is to be
borne equally by the railway and the
county. In this case the county was
not ordered to contribute to the en-
pensc.
In the petition for writ, the rail
ways asserted that the commission
acted cproEeouSly IN refuGing 70 make
the Board of Supervisors of Fairfax
county party to the proceedings an&
erred again in failing to require the
County of Fairfax to bear its due
proportion of the cost of undercross-
ing Telegraph Road.
The commission, in nm opinion
written by Judge Rhea, declared that
the condition of this grade crossing
is very serious and should be rene
died at once. The railways and the
county having been unable to agree
upon the kind Of engineering to be
,cre to eliminate the grace crossing.
.he commission instructed the roads
TO proceed at once with the building
of y tunnel under the tracks. What
ever claims the railways may nave
against the County Of Fairfax IN
connection with the expense OF thiS
engineering must be settled IN the
proper courts of the Commonwealth,
saws the opinion, and not by the COM
mission.
At the point in question seven par
aIlel railway tracks cross the lee
gran Road at grade level. 1t mas
been the scene of numerous accidents,
and it is regarded as one Of the nos
dangerous crossings in the State. BE-
cans, Of the fact that there are sew
on tracks there the elimination OF
the grace crossing, is really an ex-
pensive Undertaking, and has beer
productive of much litigation
twoen the railroads, the county OF
Fairfax and the State Corporation
Commission. Between 200 and 2oo
freight and passenger trains pass

serious engineering problems. includ-
ing refuge harbor and an inner har-
Dor, had to be solved. The dinlculties
were overcome and Salina Cru3 was
made hospitable to tranlc.
When the road was completed its
total length was . little under two
hundred miles. The birds flight from
ocean to ocean across Tehuantepec II
about one hundred and twenty-five
miles.
British interests here. - elsewhere
in Mexico. are vitality concerned in the
outcome. It II not presumed that
Lord Cowdrey and his associates have
transferred any Of the obligations.
They also secured valuable oil conces-
sions on the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec
and are understood to have large hold
ings Of lands. The connection Of Sir
Lionel Garden, the British minister.
with land company in lower Mexico
was explained in the news dispatches
from the City of Mexico some time
ago.
At one time some American money
was invested In the railway line
known a. the Pan-American. which
branches on from the Tehuantepec
railway at San Geronimo and runs
down to the border Of Guatemala The
money was In the bonds which were
turned over to the American con-
tractors a. the different sections were
completed. These bonds were guaran-
teed by the Mexican government.
Later the government took over the
railway and made 1t part Of the Mexi-
can system.
Two American capitalists who had
held ofncial positions in Washington
and In Mexico were the intermedi-
aries. They were supposed to have
made Q good deal Of money By the
transaction.
In view Of later developments this
may be doubted They got control of
the international bridge across the
Suchiate river to Guatemala But
since President Cabrera of Guate-
mala was In no hurry to Join up the
Guatemalan lines with the bridge, the
expected profits from the tolls on
trafic across the river did not mate
rialize.
