Case to Be Reargued.-The Public
Service Commission has granted the
request of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, the American Steel and Wire
Company, and the National Tube Com
| pany, and other corporations for a
| reargument in the Industrial rail-
road" or short line" cases. The re-
quest for the reargument was based
on the contention that since the COM
mission had heard the cases the Inter
State Commerce Commission had
made rulings which might change the
aspect. The argument will probably
be heard late in November and will
cover the principles brought out in
several cases heard last year.

ply from abroad

ton papers filled out by the infantry

HIGH DEATH Rate
OF ENGINEMEN

Chicago, Jan. 14.-The figure OF
death-in figures-was paraded yester-
day before members of the arbitration
board which is hearing testimony
bearing on the demands of western
locomotive engineers and tiremen for
higher wages.
Testimony bore almost exclusively
on the death rate of the enginemen as
compared with other workers. The
principal witness was DIR. Henry J..
Harris, statistician of the library of
congress at Washington.
DR.. Harris presented a long tabls
compiled on data supplied by the re-
cords of the Medico- Actuarial investi-
CATION. In commenting on these he
said:
According to the table the occupa-
tions conspicuous for their high death
rates are first, the miners and workers
in stone and clay; second, the locomo-
tive firemen; third, structural iron
workers, and fourth, the locomotive
engineers"
Where the normal expectancy Of
death is 100 the actual deaths among
firemen is 100, the witness said, and
among engineers 100. Among officers
of the navy, excluding chaplains, pay
masters and physicians, the rate is 152,
WIllle the III IiC lilc Va POliNC-
men. constables and sherlffs is 1874.
Among female domestic servants the
rate is 1926.
Opposing counsel disputed the aver
age life of engineers as engineers, but
it was finally shown that 1t is between
eleven and twelve years.
"And in that period the engineer,
able to earn fair salary by hard work
and long hours, must sustain himself
and family and lay by enough for the
future" commented Warren S. Stone
of the engineers.
This brought up the subject of old
age pensions. DR.. Harris stating that
such pensions were possible only by
making the age of beneficiary 70
years, thus reducing the number re-
ceiving it, and keeping down the
period of payment.
w. S. Carter OF the firemen explained
that the higher hazard shown in the
occupation of f1remen than that OF
engineers was due to the fact that
only the strongest among flremen be-
come engineers, and their promotion
itself attests their superior prudence
and physical condition. .s.

it's little quota of excitement and the
balloon went up when Rott introduced
a resolution calling for an investlga-

able and penal institutions.
When it came to the adoption OF the
resolution there were objections from
several members. Thompson of Ward
wanted it made a special order or
business for Thursday afternoon be-
fore the committee of the whole but
afterwards withdrew his motion in
favor of one made that it be referred to
a committee.
Treadwell Twichell Of Cass county,
spoke on the matter and in favor of
referring it to a committee before 1T
was acted upon in the house. He said
that there were too many investiga-
ton resolutions offered and acted upon
hastily and he for one would vote
against any measure being adopted In
the house before it was referred to a
committee for consideration. Burnett

heartily in the sentiments Of Mr.

Has A. M. knight been found?
A man believed to be knight is now
under arrest in Louisville. Ky. Sher-
iff John Ross left last night TO bring
him back il he is the right man. The
sheriff is armed with warrant for
knight on a charge of the empezzle-
ment of $525.72 from the local order
of the Red Men, of which Knight was
secretary when he skipped OUT in
the spring of 1912. The sheriff also
has requisition for knight, issued
yesterday by Governor Hanna and to
be used in case the sheriff finds he
is the right man.
The disappearance of A. NJ. knight
from Fargo about May Is, 1912, was
a seven day sensation here. knight
was at the time the junior partner of
the firm of Coils & Knight. He left
+, for New York, ostensibly to invest
some funds and nothing has been
heard from him by the public from
that day to this.
knight was the secretary of the
Eagles, the Red Men and other frater-
nal organizations and as such official
had charge of the funds. 1t is said
that he got away with some funds
from each, but the bonding companies
made the losses good.
1t was also said that Knight got

away with about $4,000 of funds be-
longing to his wife and her brothers,
the Coils boys, and with other funds.
Last fall, States Attorney Fowler
got letter from a man at Louisville,
KY, who said that he believed that
knight was in that city. The inform
ant was not positive OF knights
Identification and at first Mr.. Fowler
was sceptical because of the fact that
the man believed to be knight was
prominent in Louisville church and
business affairs. However detectives
were put on the trail and the result
was the arrest of Knight, or Thomas,
the name under which tie Louisville
man Is now going.
The Identification has not been prov
ed yet, however, and will not be until
Sheriff Ross arrives at Louisville. 1t
was at first the intention not to make
the arrest until Mr.. Ross saw the man,
but it was feared that the news would

of the impending arrest and get away
so Louisville officials were ordered to
| make the arrest yesterday.
As will be seen from the special to
