POUL|N PATERNITY
TRIAL IS STARTED
Child of Mrs. John P. Herman
Brought Into Court as
Exhibit A.

SOUTH BEND, IND, Sept 6|-Hars
ry Poulin, a wealthy local clothier,
was arraigned in the court OF JUS
tice of the Peace A. W. Hosinski to-
day for his preliminary hearing on
charges preferred by Prof. John P.
Tiernan Of Notre Dame University,
that Poulin is the father Of Mrs. Tier
mans eight-months-old SON.
Herman conducted the examination
OF Poulin himself.
A high chair held Exhibit 4, the
unnamed, rosy-cheeked son Of Mrs.
Tiernan, whose paternity is aues'
toned.
Mrs. Herman is IN a state Of col
lapse at her home.
Poulin introduced a double defense.
He claimed that the professor is not
only mentally deranged, but that the
entire case is one of "extortion and
blackmail," and declared that the
charges come from "a mind twisted
by too intense study Of criminal law"
Prof Herman announced that an
agreement Of separation had been
drawn up between himself and his
wife. He will have the custody of
the two young daughters.

Pennsylvania Railroad Head Predicts
Era of Fortune for" Labor" and Capital

means Encouragement and use for po-
litical purposes.
There is a growing recognition of
the truth that railroad rate making
is largely a commercial matter, and,
in order to be conducted on a sound
basis must admit of some degree of
initiative and negotiation. Conse-
quently I rather anticipate some
changes IN this direction during the
next few years.
If conditions are such that the nee
essary funds can be obtained from
investors, there should be decided
progress in the electriflcation of rail
ways, at such points where the den
sity of traffic will warrant the capt.
tai outlay.
The much discussed motor truck
will. I believe, become an important
auxiliary to the neutrality-suspicious.
ing rather than superseding it. For
railroads are designed to be the
wholesale" carriers-to perform the
heavy bulk service, especially over
long distances. Motor transport, it
would seem, is destined chiefly for
the retail or local field.
Marvellous scientific progress has
been made in air transport, but
neither in the matter Of carrying pas
sengers or freight does it seem prob
able that this method of transporta-
ton will for many years seriously in
wade the field of land or water large
scale transport.
Broadly speaking, the great prob
lem of the future will be to provide
road and terminal facilities for the
proper handling Of the immense vol
ume of traffic which we have every
reason to anticipate.

PHILADELPHIA Sept. Samuel
Rea, president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, believes American railroads
and other public utilities are about to
enter an era of better fortunes and
greater usefulness.
President Rea, who has just return
ed from Europe. sums up his views
forthwith:
In so fundamental an industry as
transportation no question transcends
in importance that of relations be-
tween the companies and their en-
ployes And if my Judgment is cor
rect, the coming years will witness a
decided trend toward the decentrali-
cation of machinery for settling dis
puted questions. and the adoption of
the sounder methods Of direct bargain
ing between companies and their
working forces.
Our own road and It's men have
already taken the leadership In this
question, and there has been success
fully set up a workable-and working
plan of employee representation for
the adjustment of controversial mat
tiers.
Unions will continue to exist, and
they can do much good under wise
leadership which appreciates f1nan-
cial and economic necessities. Direct
bargaining between the separate man
agements and their own men, is, gen
orally speaking. the correct method.
Our employee representation plan on
the Pennsylvania system is pure col
lective bargaining, and it is reasonable
to believe that this method of wage
adjustment. with more personal rela-
