bers of the committee hold that no

nation is involved Such officers would
board ships only by order of the sec

would be directed only TO mingle with
immigrants and to keep watch during

Dept JUSTICE
May SEPARATE
TWORAILROADS

Washington, Feb @7-The department
of justice, it became known tonight. has
been looking into the relations between
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and the
Norfolk G. Western, with the idea of ef-
fecting a separation of the two roads or
bringing suit under the Sherman anti
trust act In the opinion of department
officials, the two roads are competitive
The Pennsylvania owned on January /.
1913, S41, ,162, 800 common and $l1, ,32e eco pre-
ferred Norfolk & Western stock. On Oc-
tober 81, 1912, the outstanding stock of the
Norfolk G. Western was given as $12o,
312, 400
Recently representatives. of the Penn
sylvania were told the department look
ed upon the roads as competitors and
suggestion was made that Attorney Cen
eral MeReynolds would like TO see sep
aration.
No assurances were given the depart
ment at that time and none had been re-
ceived tonight that the Pennsylvania in
tends to give up its Norfolk & Western
stock.
While it was not understood that the
Pennsylvania actually has thrown down
the Gauge of battle. il was reported that
it might be expected to fight. 1t was
said that Pennsylvania officials do not re-
gard the Norfolk & Western as a COM
petitive line within the meaning Of the
Sherman law. The departments attitude
in similar cases has been clearly defined
and has been illustrated in the successful
suit dissoiving the Union Pacific-Southern
Pacific r1Hrrer While a suit to sever the
connection between the two roads would
be brought to dissolve an alleged combi-
nation in restraint OF trade, it was said
tonight successful salt might directly
affect rates on bituminous coal from the
West Virginia and Pennsylvania fields to
New York and other Eastern communi-
ties.
An extended investigation into the rela-
tions of the roads would not be neces-
sary.

OLD ORCHARD ON
WAR PATH AGAINST
YORK POWER co.

Portland, Me-, Feb. 27.-Before JUS
tice Haley of the supreme court in
chambers Friday forenoon, were given
arguments in the effort made by GER
tain citizens of Old Orchard to oust
the York Light & Heat Co. from doing
business in that town. The proceed
cedent in the State. The particular
point at issue was the granting of
a demurrer which had been filed by
the defendant corporation, following
the filing of information in quo war
ranto by complainants.
Hon. William NJ Bradley, chief
counsel for the company, in arguing
that demurrer should be granted
brought out four points. He declar-
ed that the method taken by the
complainant was not the proper rem
edy on the facts alleged, and that it
was not shown that all other RENE
dies had been exhausted previous to
filing the information. He also main
tanned that the facts alleged, that is,
excessive rates and discrimination be-
tween patrons, were not given with
sufficient ceretinly to allow the court
TO judge of the merits of the case
His fourth argument was to the ef-
feet that because of the lack of de-
tail in the charges as presented the
defendant company found itself un-
able to make a proper reply to the
information. Mr. Bradley elaborated
upon these four points and cited nu-
merous authorities to maintain his
contention.
In reply Howard Davies declared
that proceedings in quo warranto had
been the general custom under the
common law from time immemorial
and that this was the proper method
IN the present case. He also declared,
and cited authorities to prove his con-
tention, that a general statement of
the issue was sufficient under the law
TO warrant granting writ of quo war
ranto.
In the course of the argument there
was one or two lively tits between
MIR. Davies and Mr.. Bradley. Taking
up the question Of discrimination the
latter declared that it was not alleged
that there had been any particular
kind of discrimination. He maintained
that all public service corporations, at
one time or another, are continually
discriminating. but that they are not
doing this unjustly or unlawfully. He
remarked that Mr.. Davies probably
travelled between Portland Yarmouth
on a commuters ticket, while he him.
self always paid the regular fare on
the electric cars or the steam railroad
This surprised Mr.. Davies because
Mr.. Bradley is president of Cumber-
land County Power & Light Co, which
controls the electric railroad system in
this section.
II don't believe you ever pay youi
fare." remarked Mr.. Davies.
Il want you to understand, sir,
said Mr.. Bradley. that / never take
free rides. / always pay my fare
whether on the electric cars or on the
steam cars"

S. D. MACHINERY DIS.
PLAY---G GREATEST IN
THE WORLD

The worlds greatest display OF ma
chfnery and giant tractors is held ev-
cry year at the South Dakota State
Fair according to statements made by
the exhibitors themselves. There are
several reasons for this, the first be-
ing that South Dakota farmers are
among the most progressive in the
use of power machinery to tighten
and shorten their work. Another
reason is that South Dakota land
adapts itself we'll to the use OF pow
er. Still a further cause for such a
mangnificent display, is the fact that
no other State Fair sets aside so
large a tract Of land for the demon
stration Of traction engines.
The exhibit last year was worth
miles of travel to see, and the de-
mon~stratiCns We're a revelation of
what modern steam and gas tractors
can accomplish. II set end to end,
there was doubtless more than a mile
of giant tractors with blowing de-
vices, and they were all in operation,
putting back and forth, running CIR
cles, and turning over the sod, with
hundreds Of men, women and child
ren watching intently.
Present indications are that the
showings of machinery in the 191.
State Fair at Huron will far surpass
those Of previous years. The
Machinery building will be entirely
finished, and its great expanse OF
$1,000 square feet floor pace, will
be crowded with every labor-saving-
device knows t omodern life. To
see these exhibits is to get a short
course education in mechanics, and
an inspiration for doing more and
greater things.

COUNTY EXHIBITS AT STATE
FAIR.

While at this date 1t is 90 early to
estimate accurately the number Of
counties which will exhibit at the
State Fair, many courageous fore
casters predict that the Fair man
agement will be taxed to the limit to,
accommodate the displays.
Now is the time to exhibit, and the
county commissioners, together with
commercial clubs and other booster
organizations. should be formulating
dehnlte plans for exhibiting. This ID
the best advertising that a county
or state car put forth. 1t pays not
only In dollar and cents returns but
in creating local pride. DO 1T NOW.
