Misunderstanding Line Re-
sumcS Traffic Arrangements
With Pennsylvania.

The following statement has been
issued by tho reorganization committee
OF the wabash-Pittsburs Railroad Com
pany
ION August - Tho court ~ Pittshurg
made an order authorizing n. F. Baker.
the receiver OF tho wabash-Pittsburg
Railroad Terminal Company. to enter
into a contract with tho PENNSYLVANIA
road for the construction OF tho so-called
B~ridgev..le connection
This marks a long step forward in
the rehabilitation OF the terminal prop
critics, The importance OF the Bridge
willie connection les IN tho fact that il
gives to the Terminal company a direct
outlet over the lines OF the Pennsylvania
and permits "A direct Interchange Of
trafiC with that company. The Terminal
company is thus enabled to reach a ter
ritory extending from the Atlantic sea-
board 10 the middle West over the lines
OF the Pennsylvania that have for a
number Of years been closed 20 Il.
Pursuant 10 the authority granted
by the court, the receiver has signed the
agreement, and construction ~ the con-
nection has already been commenced and
is progressing. II will be about Octo-
Der | when the interchange of business
will commence.
The in~calculable heuef, 10 the Ter
minal company OF this connection can
best be judged by the history OF the
Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal On this par
ticular point. The Termina! was n pros
porous property, enjoying this Connec-
ton al the time when Mr., Gould and
Mr.. Cassatt, the latter representing the
Pennsylvania road, became estranged.
The Goulds controlled the Terminal
property. BY reason OF this dispute the
Pennsylvania terminated its traffic re-
lations with the Terminal road and the
latter since that time has suffered az
cordingly, This renewal Of traffic re-
lations will he to the great benefit OF tho
Wabash Pittsburg Terminal, and 1t Is

WEST ORANGE, y. j.. Aug. 2e.-It was
learned to-day that Thomas A. Edison
has asked the United States naval au-
thorities to reserve decision on his sub
marine storage battery until it has re-
ceived n more thorough test in the sub
marine E-2.
The battery. designed to eliminate the
formation of poisonous chlorine gas.

yard. and II not only measured up to all
the hopes Of the inventor but exceeded

his expectations. But the drastic series
Of tests which the battery has already
undergone Is not enough for MI. Edison.

upon the batteries will be wisely in

CLEARING HOUSE FOR

Wallstein Would Give Juvenile

In order that the BOYS arrested for

COMMISSIONS OF Accounts Wallsteln in
a report to the Mayor.
Nearly 5000 boys charged with this
nebulous offence are arraigned in the
children's courts every year.
THE Justices says Mr.. Wallstein.
ARE hampered in their treatment OF
eases by being compelled to put the boy
on probation or to commit him to an
institution for an indefinite period. No
middle course is open to them under
present conditions. In many cases Il
Is not possible to decide at once which
course, probation or commitment. is best
calculated TO effect the desired change
In the boy. In many cases 1t IL unwise
TO commit a boy to any institution for
a long term, yet he Is not NJ for i'm
mediate release or probation. In many
cases neither measure is the proper
remedy. Yet the justices must do the
thing or the other unless che case In
dismissed or a fine imposed"
There should be a place, the report
says. where boys could he kept for OBJ
scrvation. for temporary separation from
associations that brought them into
trouble. for brief discipline that in many
