ents of the merger sought TO inquire
into earlier in the week Mr.. Ponder
at first referred Mr.. Eldridge TO his
attorney but later said he would fur
nish him a copy for his personal use
but not for publication" Mr.. FL
bridge demanded that it be furnished
before the hearing is concluded.
Mr.. Ponder on direct examination
asserted that the MEL ger couldn't af-
feet San Antonio detrimentally. that il
might increase traffic through that
city to the valley which would be bene
fetal in furnishing employment for
more men in handling the trains.
Asked in what respect the merger
would benefit the Sausage. Mr.. Pom
der replied that it wouldn't ''injure it,
at the worst"
Complain Of Service.
Mr.. Ponder admitted, ON questions
from Claude Birkhead. that there is
considerable complaint of the Pullman
service from points on the Gulf Coast
Lines to San Antonio. He said also
that there have been complaints that
fr, ight ON the Gulf Coast Lines was
delayed. Have you had complaints
that the Gulf Coast Lines were delay.

Houston traffic:" Mr.. Ponder was
asked. He said such Complaints had
reached him. also the same shippers
had complained that they shipped by
express from San Antonio to the val

der said these complaints did not apply

Afternoon Session Dull.
! With Houston. Galveston and Beau
mont presenting their reasons rs to
why the application Of the Gulf Coast
Lines to purchase the stock of the j.
g. y. should be granted. the hearing
yesterday afternoon developed into Q
dull routine affair. Testimony OF
representatives of the three cities oc'
cupied the entire afternoon and was
very similar in character.
/ +. II. Thornton of the Galveston
Chamber of Commerce. testified that
his city had at first opposed the pur'
chase but r,on learning from Presi'
dent j. S. Pyeatt of the Gulf Coast
Lines. that Galveston as a port would
not be Disseminated against in favor
of New Orleans. he had changed his
views. Mr.. Thornton admitted that
the Gulf Coast heretofore has favored
/ New Orleans rs a port but that il
would now give Galveston share
the business Mr.. Thornton. expressed
the view that Texas ports can take
care of themselves and there was NJ
need to open up additional lines 10
New Orleans.
Beaumont Fayors Merger.
Asked if the New Orleans Chamber
of Commerce was on record as favor
ing the merger. and expected addition
al favors from the Gulf Coast Lines as
result, Mr.. Thornton said he did moi
know. Mr.. Thornton admitted that

weston port. is member of the Gal.
weston Chamber of Commerce and that
the president of the industries had op-
posed the merger.
III. c. Eargle, representing the Beau
mont Chamber of Commerce. said his
city favorS the merger because the Gulf
Coast will bring in additional tonnage
from its I.-G. y. source to help build
up the Beaumont port which is now in
its infancy. 1t was brought out on
cross examination that il the Gulf
Coast does favor Beaumont in this re-
spect it would .necessa lily take away
from Houston tonnage which it is now
getting from the l.-G. NJ Attorneys
opposed to the merger also suggested
to the witness that the same policy
might result in increasing tonnage TO
the New Orleans port.
Says Houston Would Benefit.
Questioned as to the competition
now existing between the Gulf Coast
and the l.-G. N, Mr.. Thornton admit
ted that it is keen for business origi-
mating in the st. Louis territory and
destined for Houston although he char
acterizcd as negligible that in South
Texas. particularly between Houston
and San Antonio.
/. NJ. Hogsett. representing the
Houston Chamber of Commerce. read
into the record long statement set
ting forth his ideas in favor of the
merger. Houston, he declared, would
be largely benefited and not hurt. The
Gulf Coast Lines. he asserted, with It's
strong financial backing, could build
up the I.-G. \. The Gulf Coast Lines
he asserted. would not discriminate
against Houston in favor of New Or
leans. He also suggested that il would
be wise to take advantage of the pend
ing voluntary" merger than later 10

Explains Car Movements.
Mr.. Hogsett was the first to explain
how the l.-G. y. could profit by the
merger in having its ears which il
unloaiS q Houston and Galveston

eral witnesses had declared this coult
be done but none had explained it

the I.-G. n. He said also that the
Gulf Coast could give the I.-G. n.
much traffic from the Southeast.
Mr.. Hogsett admitted that the l..
G. n. is the most direct line between
Houston and North Texas, that it has
been the main policy of the I.-G. n. to
build up the Houston port. He denied
that the merger, however, would result
in splitting its tonnage now going TO
Houston, with any other port.
Are you willing TO destroy the only
Independent line which is loyal to
Houston and have its tonnage split up
with Beaumont. Orange and New Or
leans" Paul ID. Kayser asked Mr..
Hogsett.
Witness replied that the merger
would not result in such a contin.

Of q. {. l.. Somewhat Faliacious."

Austin. Tex, April 10.-That the
claims made that the purchase of the
I.-G. \. by the Gulf coast lines is in

fallacious. was admitted by A. r. Pom.
der, receiver for the s. A, L. x q.
when placed upon the stand in the
hearing before the Texas Railroad
Commission at a night session last
night. Mr.. Ponder admitted that there
could be no reduction in tie tabor costs

tate increased labor. that maintenance
of a set OF general offices would be

made in the transfer of power, store

vice. incidentally he admitted that
strong competition exists between the
two roads between San Antonio and
Houston.

Ohio Publisher Dies.

liam J.. Maagg ST.. 73, founder and
general manager of the Youngstown
Vindicator, died at his home here to-
day.
The Washington times., 1924-06-21

poor and unable to build a
home for yourself, every small
home you designed had in it
something of your hopes and in
spirationS. You were successful
as a designer Of sthe little nests
because the enthusiasm Of your
clients reused you to give them
something that was the improve
ment a we'll trained architect
could make upon the crude ideas
they handed to you.
Each visit from a prospective
client was a challenge. to you to
do your best When you left
the small city and the problems
of the small house and began
working with clients more well
TODD your ambition grew.
after you built your own
home you were able to compre-
bend the minds Of people who
wanted a house of that grade.
You kept losing touch with the
people one grade or so lower
than the client with whom you
happened to be dealing at any
particular moment, Now you arc
rich and anything you do in
the planning Of low-cost homes
must be a study"
She was right. Every workman
reveals himself in his work. Into
every building that an architect
plans, goes something of his char
acter. Better than that, there goes
something of the character of the
client, and he reflects something
of the spirit Of his age. Archi-
lecture is thus a history Of the
people who have lived in the past.
Perhaps we should say that ali
the remains Of the architecture of
any people for any epoch shows
the soul of the leading and ruling
classes. The monuments left be-
hind them, such as the houses in
which they lived, the temples in
which they paid, homage to their
deities, and the places in which
they transacted their affairs tell
far more about them than do the
written histories OF their great
men and rulers.

LODGE BELIEVES
IN Glue To
AFTERL|FE
British Scientist Sees Link
Between Two Worlds
In Electricity
By LUTHER A. HUSTON.

LONDON, June 21.--Asserting his
belief that there is life after death,
Sir Oliver Lodge, famous British
physicist and scientist. has evolved,
after a lifetime of investigation. the
following theory:
1t is evident that there exists q
formidable principle, which is able
to deal with atoms OF matter (giv-
ing them Hfel.
my working hypothesis Is that
they. (the formative principles) are
more closely associated with ether
than with matter, that they act
primarily and directly on the ether
and only indirectly on. matter, and
that they are able to continue their
ether habitations when the material
particles are worn out and dis
carded.
Gradually Learning.
1--WE are gradually learning that
the greater part OF the energy Of
the universe. and certainly all
potential energy, belongs to the
ether and not to matter at all.
Atomic matter is one thing: the
ether is another. They are related.
The link between them is electricity.
The ether lis the fundamental
thing"
Thus Sir Oliver has reached a
line of thought, as regards the
source Of life,, somewhat similar to
that announced by Thomas Edison.
Continuing. the, British scientist
said:
I'm this general way, therefore, /
would seek to account for objective
metaphysical phenomena. Childish
ly simple as it appears, 1t may
turn out not only to be true but to
involve consequences Of tremendous
moment to mankind.
1.-THE evidence for survival of
life after death ought to stand on
its merits, without being hampered
by effete superstitions. / wish to
deny and repudiate some of these
superstitions IN a fnrcible manner.
my first denial is of anything
like resuScitation of corpse.
When we say that the facts uphold
the doctrine Of survival we do not
mean that.
"As to what becomes of the per-
sonality, that Is a matter for in
vestigation, straightforward, scien-
tific inquiry.
ITO avoid Observation-Disclosures Il
should like to say that / am re-
ferring to ordinary people and
ordinary bodies. II there is a case
for an exceptional body and for
different treatment in one particular
instance SO that one tomb was real
ly empty, that Is not a matter to
which wish to refer now"

Y IN HOME
Builder Should Be Able to
Put Dreams of Client
Into Reality
The Fifth Article of a Series by
Ernest Mccullough

Within the walls, floors and roof
Of building there are enclosed
parts, each serving distinct
function, namely, service, public
life, privacy. In the dwelling the
service comprises the kitchen and
the rooms occLpded by servants,
the public life is in the rooms and
halls where the family congre-
gates and lives it's life in COM
mon, the privacy is secured in the
bedrooms and personal living
quarters Of the occupants.
In a church or temple the service
quarters are the reception room,
library and other small places in
which the clergy and laity come into
intimate contact, the public part
lies in the entrances, corridors and
rooms for public worship, the pri-
waite parts are the rooms reserved
are sometimes sleeping quarters as
well.
In a business establishment the
service quarters hold the clerical
employees and general personnel,
the public part is where the business
with the general public is trans
acted, the private parts are those
reserved for the management for
dealing with problems that require
freedom from interruption. This
might be extended to all classes
Of buildings for it is fundamental.
The idea in mentioning these
functions that all buildings must
serve Is to show that there is more
to the work Of architecture than the
mere planning Of ornament, or the
ornamentation Of construction. The
best architect is the one who is
completely in touch with the needs
OF the client; and has the training
that will enable him to- put the
dream OF the client on paper and
from that translate it into terms
OF wood. stone, brick, plaster, etc.,
so 1t will pass out Of the realms
OF dreamland into reality.
There was once very successful
designer OF small and medium size
homes. He was an architect in a
small city, but his fame spread to
other places and one day he formed
partnership with a successful
architect in a larger city. In a
Kew years he was the owner Of a
lovely nome and after that his work
lay more and more along the lines
OF fine homes for well-to-do-people.I
In middle life he was tempted to
enter competition for a low-cost
nome Tor a newly married couple
ana ms work was laughed at. 1t
was a great humiliation for him,
until his wife told him why he had
failed.
