Erie Agrees to Meet Their De-
mands if Complaints Are
Withdrawn.

JERSEY CITY. July 5.-Commuters
on the New York and New Jersey
branch Of the Erie railroad scored a
Victory over the company yesterday
before the State Board of Public
Utility Commissioners. The Erie
agreed To wash the inside and out
side of the passenger coaches and
ecase using dirty smoking cars for
general passenger service II the COM
fnuters would withdraw their COM
nlaints.
This was agreed to in the case of
Tho washing of the windows and
cleaning of interiors. but the COM
5nuters refused to agree to a with
drawal of their complaint In the case
uf the smoking cars. This phase of
the case went over until July "a II
the Erie lives up to its promise the
complaint will not be pressed further.
Duane Minard, counsel for the Erie,
said that the company has resumed
IT'S practise of washing car windows
and keeping the inside and outside of
cars ''scrupulously clean He said 1t
IS the practise on all railroads TO use
smoking cars for general uses after
cleaning.
Randolph Perkins, of Woodcliff
Lake, president of the Commuters
Association, testified that instead of
It being the rule of the Erie to clean
smoking cars at the end of every run
on the New York and New Jersey
branch, 1t is quite the custom not to
do so, especially on the cars used IN
the train leaving Hillsdale at SOB
a. m.
Women have to sit in cars filled
with stale smoke and the floors and
window sills Uttered with cigar and
cigarette butts, ashes, pieces of news
papers and peanut Shells he said.
Edward j Sisley, Fred Pilkington
and Frank Musson, of Woodcliff
Lake, and Dudley p. Powers, of Hills
dale, also testified. They corroborat-
Ell Mr. Perkins.
DR.. John j. Money Of this city,
an Erie railroad physician, was the
only witness called by the defense.
He said he Inspected many cars and
found them clean and sanitary.

The bedroom came next in order,
and from press and bureau Hills cloth
ing, which had been laid away with
so much care, was hauled out and
hung in it's accustomed place, each
minor detail being attended to with
care.
When all was accomplished, the
worker came to the doorway where he
had paused on that long-past autumn
morning of his first awakening there,
and stood gazing for the last time
upon what had been the field of his
labors these many months; and as he
looked about, it seemed as though his
heart would break at the thought of
leaving it. But go he must,
Clenching his hands, he called him
self fool, speaking aloud in his pain.
For a moment the wild hope came to
him that he might, after all, stay on;
or, at least, return; and then with re-
newed clearness the urgent reasons
for departure came surging back. His
secret, which Iris knew, was no longer
safe. His mother, whose entreaties
he dared not face, was living in the
very same city, and might at any mo-
ment meet with him. Then there was
Hill. He had found Iris, and all must
be well between them, for had not Bell

"Of what use to take any?' said
Pedro aloud. But nevertheless, he
stood brooding over them for quite a
time.
BY the fire lay Mr.. Jones. blinking
sympathetically With sigh Pedro
turned at last from these children OF
his mind. and set about arranging the
two rooms--the studio and bedroom
exactly as he had found them.
In the first place there were the pic
tures-his plcturesl From the big
easel the Madonna Lady" smiled
wanly upon her young creator-a
beautiful, crude, unfinished thing, its
possibilities beckoning enticingly
from behind the haze of its incom-
pleteness. Then there were the 9th

and heaved another sigh. No! that
was impossible; infanticlde! 1t could
not be done! Yet, who would care for
them. Leigh? Perhaps. Pill

the ever-smiling portrait of Iris, he
stacked them neatly, near the door,

atop the heap.
Next. he restored the furniture to 1T
original arrangement as nearly as hi
could remember it, and bringing foftt
Hills canvases from the cubby IL
which most of them had been repos

found them, down to putting the un

had just been taken. When this wa
done, the studio took on such an un
familiar atmosphere that lump aros'

Then she shifted the little knapsack
into place across her shoulder and
alone stepped off into the grayness,
the little bear shutting along at her
heels.
The morning was black and chill,
but Leigh stood quite motionless long
after she had passed from sight; stood
motionless until the housetops famed
with the coming sun, until the dawn
was painted like unto the glory of
love; and then he smiled, and, throw
ing his head, shifted the keen air as
though he could already scent the un-
born violets of that distant spring.

The mine operators to violate the law.
The secretary is responsible for many
things the voters do not approve. His
conduct towards Che employees is again
under fire Charles q. Compton, util-
ity clerk in the office of Secretary
pi State Pearce, was discharged four
day ago because he knew too much
about Pearcc and his advances toward
women employees Of the office, and as
an example of what might happen to
other employees Of the office if they
didn't forget what they saw and heard
instanter, says a Denver dispatch to
the Pueblo Chieftian. Compton had
not told anyone about the insulting
Of women employees by Pearce, but
there had TO be sacrifice, and he was
chosen to be the one discharged for
that purpose.
Also, Pearce wanted to cover up his
discharge Of Mrs p b. Roberts by be-
ing able to point to the fact that he
had also discharged man. Mrs.
Roberts says chat Pearee grossly in
suited her.
Compton is notary public and as
such made little money on the side

GERMANY's GLOOMY FUTURE.

Usually Germany is thought of as
one of the countries with a promising
birth rate, but there have been two
strong protests from German sources
recently against the great fall in the
birth rate in that country during the
last ten years. One has come from
the minister of war, who fears the eff
feet on the army; the other from a
prominent Lutheran clergyman, who
notes the result on the churches.
Since 1875 the German birth rate
has fallen more than 10 per thousand
inhabitants. For the twenty-five
years before 1900 the fall in the rate
was slight and thought quite negli-
gible, but during the last dozen years
the falling off in births has been so
serious that the minister of war de-
clares that but for the greatly les
sened death rate "there would have
been an actual reduction in the popu-
lation of the empire"
Germany has always looked with
confidence to her favorable eompari-
son with France in this matter, but
now Professor Wolff, the we'll known
German economist, predicts lower
birth rate even than that of France
by 1920 Will the birth rates prove
an important factor for the balance
Of power in Europe in the next ten
years is the question that occupies
many statesmen's minds just now.
The death rate has reached nearly its
limit of reduction. Vanishing nations
are inevitable if the future birth rates
are as constantly lower as in the last
decade.-New York Herald.
