WASHINGTON. d. c..

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 90
Smith, young ex-servict
man Of Gamoca, Fayette County
w. Va, walked out OF the Veter.
ans Bureau today with a govern.
'ment check made payable to him
for $1,S75. His face was alight
with happiness. He walked with
less Of 4 limp. He did not stop to
hold on to q tree or = building OF
some other street fixture while he
was racked with a coughing spell.
A great Joy, sublime peace, and
an Infinite hope had come to
Motion Smith. Now the wife and
the baby would have good food
and common comforts.
Among thousands Of needy and
deserving cases handled by Sena-
tor Howard Sutherland, many Of
them heart-touching, none was
more sobfully outstanding than
the case of Motion Smith. Ever
since the war he has been butfeted
about by government red tape
from pillar to post from hospi-
tai to hospital, never having a
recognized official status; more Of
a charity. patient than a soldier
whose rights were established in
the official records and whose
privilege to demand and receive
the full limit of Justice under the
law was unquestioned.
,Uneducated. so unsophisticated
as to be pitied. without friends,
knowing not what to do nor how
TO do 1t, probably, had he known;
his discharge papers from the
army lost and he not knowing
how to. replace them; painfully
disabled and, In addition, afflicted
with tuberculosis contracted in
army camps and billets-a more
pathetic figure than Motion Smith
It would be'hard to find among all
the soldier sufferers from the war.
For four years he has beea
totally disabled. For two years
succeeding the war he was ignor-
ant that the government waslhelp-
ing the soldier boys, that there
was such thing as theeVeterans'
Bureau In existence. Painful In
juries, a terrible disease and a
terrible poverty wefe his lot. It
was merely by chance-some may
see in 1t the Intervention OF Provl-
denceSthat Motion Smiths case
came to the personal attention of
Senator Sutherland, and touched
that officials heart. enlisting at
once his sympathy and determine
tion to help the unfortunate
young man.
1t proved no easy case to prose-
cute. 1t has passed through every
conceivable official channel con-
nected with soldier relief work.

Baltimore. 1t is also planned to
ascertain IL the Monongah Divi-
sion is getting fair shake on coal
cars that are available and to find
out II some divisions on the B. &;
o. system are not f:vored In this
respect.
That the process is slow is best
borne out by a comparison OF the
first three days Of last week aud
the first three days OF this week
In the movement over the noun
tains east OF Grafton. Last week
1888 loads OF freight were NOV
ed against 1893 loads this week;
gain OF SO loads. The coal
movement last week in the same
period was az, but this week a
much better total was run up at
1873, cars, a gain Of S46 loads.
Traffic Tie UP.
Transportation conditions on the
B. & o. have picked up very little
II any. Coal operators in this sec.
ton say that coal loads are tied
up on their sidlngs for more than
a month.
That the traffic to the lake front
Is badly blocked is undoubtedly
true as attested by those coming
from the lake front. It Is reported
that the railroads are more at fault
than the boat owners. While there
is some congestion at Lorain, 1t iE
said that the crux Of the accumula.
ton is in the Holloway section. II
extends from Holloway to Lorain
and from Holloway to Fairmont
At midnight it is reported that
2,1s2 loads Of freight to the west
on the Monongah Division vert
blocked, including 1000 loads OF
coal. To the east and on this side
OF the mountains there are 1886
loads Of freight accumulated, Of
which 1000 cars are coal. The
movement over the mountains i'm
proves in streaks. Even with the
shopmen being back but three days
It is said, there Is a slight improve
ment, but 1t is so slight that It. cuts
little figure in ouch an alarming
situation.
Ten trains drew 4S1 loads Of
freight over tho mountains east Of
Grafton yesterday, and OF that to
tai 1856 cars were coal To the west
there were 249 cars OF which &C
