TENDENCY
IS FOUND
Rate Expert Essential To
Point Out These Condi-
tions, Says Gushing.
TELEPHONE JOB IS Big

The importance to the state Of
rate expert was revealed this morning
by w. c. Gushing, secretary of the
railroad commission, who is in Fargo
on his way to New Rockford, where he
attended a meeting of the Telephone
association.
Examination by the rate expert re-
veals the fact that rates on grain have
been increased by the railroads from
112 points within the state. the raise
being a half cent a bushel.
Mr. Cushing was speaking of the
rate problem in connection with the at
tempt to GUST the rate expert, engaged
by the railroad commission, and he
maintains that the state must have
such expert or submit to rate increases
from time to time, without the know
ledge that such increases are being
made.
The following shows the stations af-
fected by these raises:
Forty mine stations on the Northern
Pacific near Darlington, jamestown,
New Rockford and Linton.
Forty five stations on the Great
Northern near Hannaford, Rugby,
Crosby. Wildrose and Ray.
Eighteen stations on the 500 Line
near crosby ana CarrlnBLOn.
Better Telephone Situation.
During the last session of the state
legislature, a bill was passed whereby
the matter controlling and regulating
telephone companies is made the bust
ness of the railroad commission.
At the New Rockford eonfer9nce,
this proposition was talked over with
the telephone people, and mutual
benefits are anticipated. The confer
ence at New Rockford was attended
by telephone company representatives
of all sections of the state.
In handling the telephone situation,
the board is receiving numerous COM
plants from all sections Of the state,
and some Investigations now made in
to rates, indicate that the fault of high
rates doesn't always lie with the big
companies-but quite frequently with
the independent and farmers telephone
companies.
The board is very careful in its con-
sideration of the telephone situation,
and is making no hasty decision on
matters, because of the fact that such
decisions would form the basis for fu-
ture actions.
Board Is Busy.
Railroad Commissioner o. p. N. An
derson has gone to Sioux City, Ia,
where he will be present at the hearing
of the interstate commerce commission
on rates. This does not appertain to
North Dakota, but questions which
really involve the laws of this state
may be presented and the commission
wishes to have q member present.

PROBE:OF
WRECK IS
STARTED
Towerman Maintains That
Signals Failed To Work,
Causing Disaster.

Cleveland, o., March 3O.-With
twenty-seven bodies recovered from
yesterdays wreck of the three New
York Central railroads fast trains, at
Amherst, o., attention was focused
upon several Investigations that have
been put under way by federal, state
and railroad authorities to determine
responsibility for the wreck.
If Towerman A. r. Ernst OF Amherst
is held culpable in the investigation the
blame will trace back to a tiny baby's
crib in the Ernst home at Elyria, The
baby was born Sunday night. Since
that time Ernst has had little sleep,
railroad officials say.
The two men at whom most of the
questions are to be directed are En-
gineer Herman Hess of the second sec
tion of the Buffalo Chicago flyer, and
Towerman Ernst. Ernst stoutly de-
MED that he was asleep or that he was
incapacitated by loss Of sleep. He as
serted that he had set the signal prop
erly, but that it failed to work and
that the accident was caused thereby.
while my wife was ILL.," said Ernst,
81 got my regular sleep and went about
my duties as usual. The signal simply
failed to work. That is ALL
IF the signals had worked properly,
the block signal lights two miles away
would have flashed a caution and the
block mile away would have sig
nailed Hess to come to a, dead stop,
Hess was too good an engineer to run
past two signals set against him.
Il was on the lookout for train No,
sc, the first section of the Buffalo flyer.
When it was two miles away / threw
the signal lever into the clear, giving
S6 a clear path. / realized there had
been a signal failure when the train
stopped. When the train had stopped
I again jammed the signal lever into
the clear and this time it might have
worked, for the train Started ahead
Then the crash came.
81 didn't have time to stop the
Twentieth Century before it. too
crashed into the wreck"
