RAIL HEADS APPEAR
BEFORE COMMISSION
Final Arguments on Supervision
Offered at Hearing-Flynn Re-
port Discussed.

Railroad executives and truck and
bus operators appeared before the In
terstate Commerce Commission today to
present final arguments on supervision
OF interstate motor bus and truck oper-
alton by the commission. A long list of
witnesses for and against the adoption
by the rail regulatory body OF a pro-
posed report submitted several weeks
ago by Examiner Lee Flynn were listed
for appearance at the hearing.
Most of the argument centered
around Flynn's recommendation that
control of motor bus and truck opera
ton schedules and details of operating
conditions should be handled by the
Interstate Commerce Commission should
have supervisory powers rather than
those OF direct regulation, such as the
commission now exercises over the rail
carriers in and between States.
A. p. Thorn. general counsel for the
Association OF Railway Executives,
headed group of more than 20 wit
neSses who were TO be heard today and

A series of briefs attacking the find
mgs OF the examiner have been SUBJ
n7itted by more than a score OF bus and
truck associations throughout the coun-
try, many OF them holding that Fed
eral regulation Of interstate bus and
truck trafhc Is unnecessary and not now
needed.

FIRE DESTROYS The
MOE MIERC. BUILDING
PlentywOOd Bakery Saved by Fine
Work of Firemen-LOss Estimated
at $4,000 Partially Covered by In
surance.

Thursday morning at o'clock the
citizens of PlentywoOd were awaken
ed from their slumber by the shrill
blast of the fire siren to find the
building recently vacated by the Moe
Mercantile Co., on main street i'll
flames.
The fire department made u hur-
ried run to the scene of the fire and
three lines of hose were brought into
play but the fire had gained such
headway that the building could not
be saved. The Plentywood Bakery
building, owned by Martin TOftness,
which was connected to the burned
structure was saved by the highly eff
ficient work of the firemen, although
considerable damage was done to the
building and the bakery will be unable
to operate until the damage has been
repaired.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
and many different conclusions were
voiced on the street the morning of
the fire as to the probable cause. A
thorough investigation will be made
in an endeavor to ascertain the origin
of tie blaze.
The destroyed building which. be-
Ionged to Mrs. A. J. Moore of this
city was leased to Ole Moe two Years

STOLEN SPEEDER Is
WRECKED BY TRAIN
John Wells and Harry M. Pence of
Homestead Arrested for Interfer-
ing With Railroad Property.

A Great Northern railroad speeder
was smashed to smithereens last Sat-
urday evening when an engine and ca
boose struck the machine which had
been stolen from the Homestead sec
tion house by John Wells and Harry
M. Pence.
The speeder was traevling to Medi-
cine Lake when the collision occurred
and when the engine hove in sight on
the Medicine Lake flat both men tried
to get the machine from the track
but because of a reported intoxicated
condition were unable 40 do so. When
the men saw that they could not re-
move the speeder from the track be-
fore the oncoming train they ran for
safety and the locomotive hurled the
speeder off the track, nearly derailing
the engine an caboose.
The engineer immediately STONED
his train and upon investigation the
tralncrew found Well, who apparent
ly was unable to leave the scene be-
cause of an overload of liquor, near
the track. Pence, however, had sud-
denly disappeared and could not be
found. Pence was taken into the
caboose and carried to Homestead
where he was allowed to leave the
train.
