changing to the plan now being dis
cussed. but IL was learned yesterday
from Fred T. Myers. who attended the
meeting upon another matter. that this
impression was wrong. Mr.. Myers
stated that IT was the Business Men S
association of the city which had iu-
stigated the change.
Mr.. Myers was on the committee
which called upon the council two
weeks ago and asked for the change.
He is a leading member in the 1900
block association and it was through
his presence on the Business Mems
association committee that it is likely
that the misunderstanding came about.
1t is presumed that the Rock Island
commissioners Will take steps to bring
about the joint meeting with the Mo-
line commission to discuss the prop
osition and reach an agreement as TO
where the cars will stop.
Have Misunderstanding.
Following what to all appearances
was a misunderstanding between city
Attorney James f. Witter and Police
Magistrate {. J. Smith, controversy
was brought before the commission In
which the police magistrate asked the
council to provide an attorney TO rep
resent the city in a case which was
pending before him.
CITY Attorney Witter was busy in
county court at the time. and declared
later that he Was attending to soma
assessment cases before the new
county judge. y. \. Larson.
Magistrate Smith asked the commits
sion what it intended doing about the
matter. stating that a case had been
set before him for . O'Clock and that
the witnesses were present and that
there was no city attorney present TO
prosecute the case. He stated that he
had acted as prosecutor and magis-
-rate in a number or cases and he
also said that AIr. Witter knew OF the
case on hand at that time. The hour
was after then.
Defends Witter.
One of the members OF the council
in defense of Mr.. Witter stated that
the attorney was probably busy in
court and that an order from 1
the county Judge would supersede that 1
from a police court.
Police Magistrate Smith declared
then that il the council would not give
him any satisfaction in the matter !
tina. he would take his own steps to .
provide a prosecutor. He stated that /
the law gives him the right to appoint .
a special prosecutor 20 act as city at
tCraey in the absence of the latter. /
He stated that unless Mr.. Witter was .
present he would appoint the prose
tutor and the latter would present
the bill for fees to the commission,
which, if it refused to pay, could be
collected in a suit.
Attorney Explains.
Mayor Schriver inquired of Mr.. Wit
er's office as 10 the whereabouts of
he city attorney, ana Magistrate
smith left. Later Mr.. Witter present
y himself at the council meeting, and
when asked by the commissioners If
lc had seen Magistrate Smith. re-
,Iied that he had and that he had
1eel busy in county court. The com
mission had understood this previous
Y. and the matter was thence closed.

OVER INCLINED PLANES
SOMETHING OF A NOVELTY IN
THE HAULING, or TRAINs.
Eastern Line Has Decided to RebuIId
and increase Capacity Of One at
Mahanoy, Pa.-Fsw Are
In Use.

Inclined planes, over which trains
were hauled by cables, were a familiar
feature in the earlier railroads, but
they have been generally discontinued.
and are commonly looked upon as old
fashioned. This being the case, It IN
an interesting fact that the Philadel-
phia & Reading railroad, after a care
full engineering Investigation, has
chosen to rebuild it's plane at Mahanoy.
Pa, with increased capacity, rather
than to abandon it. In commenting
on this, Engineering News New York,
December 49,, which calls 1t "a re-
markable survival" notes thai the old
planes were given up, not SO much be-
cause they were inefficient from an en-
cheering standpoint as because they
had been built on a small scale and
could not handle the increased volume
Of traffic. The fact that there Is still
a place IN railway operation where the
inclined plane can show an economic
advantage over the locomotive, the
writer thinks, is a fact well worth re-
cording. He writes:
I'VE recall only ITO instances. In
railway-construction work during the
past 20 years whS-e the inclined plane
has been intro6> iced. One of these
Is the railway line, which was built a
number Of years ago under the au-
spices of the British government, ex-
tending from the east coast Of Africa
inland to the central African lakes.
Across tEa course of this railway
there runs a precipitous escarpment,
1000 feet or more In height, as we re-
call, the result probably Of some In
cient geologic fault. The escarpment
extends so far north and south and is
so steep that 1t was found impractic.
able to make a detour around it or to
pursue a Zigzag course up It's face, at
least in the original construction. An
inclined plane was, therefore, intro
duced to haul trains by cable up the
e~scarpment; and this. 30 far as we are
aware, is still in use.
THE other plane Is Of more recent
construction and Is located in the Gu
ban ore fields. Its use in connection
with ore traffic is much more similar
to the conditions existing at Mahanoy
than is the case with the African line"
1t would be interesting, the News
thinks, to inquire whether at other
places in the United States an inclined
plane might be used instead Of the To-
connective as a regular system of CD.
Grafton. From the point of view Of the
operating department the advantages
Of the locomotive are obvious, but
there are numerous offsetting disad-
yantages which are perhaps not fully
realized. To quote the conclusion:
Taking the Mahanoy plane, for ex-
,Inple, 1t will be noted that the weight
Of the descending train Is utilized to
help haul up the trains which are
pulled up the plane. II the same ele-

"Of course, It may be said that the
handling Of trains on steep planes by
cables involves elements of risk. but
the history Of the Mahanoy plane on
