INQUIRY ON CAR SHORTAGE
INFORMAL HEARING IN LOUIS

Commissioners Holding Hearing Ask
Full U. S. Body to Con-
slider Testimony.

Louisville, Kentucky.-As a result
of developments in the informal hear
ing here regarding the railroad car
shortage, G. G. McChord of the inter-
state commerce commission, who is
presiding, telegraphed to the commits
sion at Washington, recommending to
them that an order for formal hear
ing be entered Immediately.
The formal hearing, if ordered, will
be merged with the present inquiry,
he said. The testimony given under
oath at yesterdays hearing will be in
troduced at the proposed formal hear
ing, it is understood, and so made a
basis for action by the interstate COM
merce commission.
Puts Blame on Shippers
w. L. Barnes, superintendent of the
transportation for the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy Railroad, gave it as
his opinion that much of the apparent
car shortage has resulted from ship
pers asking for more cars than they
needed in order that their allotment
might approximate the number they
really wanted.
Barnes, in response as to questions
why the Burlington has failed to re.
turn cars owned by other roads, de-
clared his road had been forced in
self-defense to hold foreign cars and
would continue to do so until some as
surance was provided that their own
equipment would be returned.

The third strike was put over on
Bill, with the bases full. m
"Hee-e-e-z-z out!" yelled Bill KLEIN
in stentorian tones.
Sweeney knew it was a good strike,
but Klem's loud bawl nettled him
Turning en- route to the bench, he
yelled:
"All right, 1 know I'm out, but the
people in Providence and Chelsea will
get it in the morning paper without
your megaphoning it now"
"Bill had honesty aud fairness
enough to know that Klein had called
good one, but he hated to be told
about it out loud. He is no excep.
ton to the rule. It is tough enough
for any of us to get caught fiat-footed,
without it being rubbed in" says Wag

Lightning has been proved to have
struck a building with a force equal
to more than 12,000-horse power. A
single horse power, in mechanical cal

therefore, has been proved to be equal
to the raising of 3S4,0OO,OO0 pounds
