TO SEEK NEW TRIAL
IN SUBWAY CASE
LapOrte Circuit Judge UphOIdS
Commission in New Car
Isle Decision.

Motion for a new trial in the suits
of the New York Central Railroad
Co. and the Chicago. Lake Shore
and South Bend Railway Co. TO
break the public utilities commits
tons order requiring them 10 ele-
vate their tracks over the Lincoln
highway near New Carlisle, will be
filed within the next 80 days i'm the
Laporte county circuit court where
Judge James Gallagher Wednesday
upheld the commissions order
In the event that Judge Gallagher
refuses to grant the railroads "a new
trial. an appeal will be taken 10
the higher Indiana courts, accord
ing 20 +. J. Lewis Meyer corpora
ton counsel for the Chicago. Lake
Shore and South Bend Railway Co.
The companies have so days i'm
which to file their motions for new
trials and 60 days after that to
perfect their appeals, in case the
motion is overruled.
Suits Originated Here.
The suits of the railway compan-
les originally we're filed separately
in circuit court here. In their suits
the carriers set out about 90 rea-
sons why the commissions order
either should be modified or Tescind-
ed. The cases were consolidated and
when Judge Walter A. Funk of cir
cult court. refused TO allow them TO
be tried before a jury the attor-
neys took a change of venue to the
Laporte circuit court.
Only one witness was placed on
the stand i'm the trial before Judge
Gallagher Wednesday. Both sides
rested their cases and the court
held that the commissions order
should stand. because the safety of
the public demanded that the grades
be separated at that crossing.
Fight Started Two Years Ago.
Efforts to require the railroads
TO elevate their tracks began near
~ two years ago when a member of
the public utilities commission heard
arguments for and against the sep
aratiOn here. Later the matter was
argued before the commission at
Indianapolis and the order to ele-
vate was made. The Chicago, South
Bend and Northern Indiana Rail-
way Co. is not involved in the litiga-
ton although the company will be
required 10 elevate its tracks, if the
others are.
Attorneys for the railroad COM
panies are seeking to have the or
der of the commission modified, if
not revoked, to allow the carriers
10 elevate their tracks at right an
giles across the highway. The diff
ference in the cost is approximately
$4,000. the total cost Of the eleva-
ton being about $4,000.

 This is the most striking recognition to date by American business men of the idea which underheS the creation of the trade commission and has ruled it's policy from the start It is the first appeal on big scale the application Of the method of reason able adjustment opposed Go the long and tedious process of litigation It is significant of the vast for the aid and counsel of business.
 The commission has taken the proposal under adysemeut. But the precedent set even by the ap- peal to that bodys good offices is of tho highest i'm pOrtance. In it's basic form the problem Of the news print manufacturers and the publishers is largely the problem of other industries necessary to the orderly life of the people. It is not rash 10 assume that as the general understanding of the essential soundness Of the new idea embodied by the commission grows clearer the resort to it will become and more
 I'm this case as in most other cases involving industrial questions of farreaChing importance what every one concerned. from manufacturers to general public, wants most is satisfactory settlement that ment is worth pound of prosecution from almost every point of view The elimination of the evil condition. where it exists, will do the public more good than long tedious and expensive litigation
 Another aspect of the serious news print situation is important Co the public the evidence afford ed of the probabilities of the trade commisson; it The tremendous advance in the of print paper has given point to the business value of refOresta tou that will hardly be overlooked, Just the printing industry has denuded the forests of num- Der of states, will it's demands make reOrestatiOn a highly profitable undertaking.
 It has been stated that If the proper laws should be adopted and enforced by the individual states the owners of cutover lands during the next twenty years would receive for their fbrous tim bers than they gained from the sale of the virgin forests In addition there would be the general pub. lie benefit which no government can afford to over look The federal Agricultural and Interior Depart. ments are alive to the importance of this aspect and propose to secure appropriate Congressional leg islatiOn.

Turkish Government Has Agreed To Receive Four American
 C0nSuIS.
GERMANY SENT NOTE
Is Instructed To Grant Departure of COnsuIS Who Are Detained

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Turkey has abandoned her attempt to draw from the United States recognition of her abrogation of the capitula- tions under which American citi. zens in the Ottoman empire are subject to the laws of their own country. Ambassador Elkus at Con. stantinople, it became known here, has Cabled that the Turkish govern ment will accept temporarily" the four American consuIs recently trans. ferred to that country from Ger many under the old form of exc. Quateur, empowering the consul to act as extraterritorial judges in cases involving citizens of the Unit ed States and their property.
 With this question cleared up, the State Department now has for. warded another request to Germany that the four counsels who have been delayed at Munich be permit. ted to depart for their new posts in Turkey immediately.
