roads hay? not. introduced such scien
tific methods, and ho believed that he
had produced evidence to show that they
had not. He said the railroads' use of
the recent wage increases as an excuse
for rate increases pointed to an "in
crease of the burdens of the American
public." He called attention to what he
described as a prediction of the heads
of great trunk lines that the pending
increases were only an earnest of what
Is to come, that the public is to expect
and become accustomed to a progressive
rise in rate? throughout the country.
Mr. Brandeis assumed that the bur
den of proof was on the railroads to
show whether they have put into opera
lion economies whi< !i he did not be
lieve existed, and that those economies
should first be practised before resort
ing to advances.

Mr. Emerson's Testimony.
Mr. Emerson described the applica
tion of scientific management to the
J railroads. He testified that it was by
j r.o -means-settled- that larger" locomotives
jaeaiu. diminished cost, while on the
"other Tfar.-i It was probable that the
i railroad* could not haul as much busi
ness as they do now with the smaller
engines and other equipment of twenty.
i >ears ago. He did not thjnk much of the
; railroads thai ha&lilonA^iiqtJhlng; in the
i way of scientific method.
H« refer red "(o*' fife Onion Pacific and
! Southern Pa-cilia several times In rep!:
|to questions .by Commissioner Prouty,
who asked him how it was that those.
two enterprising roads had not seen fit
t . adopt these principles, if they had
not don'" so! (He said he talked with
James J. Hill and that he knew that
Mr. Hill's road moves more power for
■ less amount. and hauls a larger tonnage
to the locomotive than th<= Union Pa
cific j _
Hr. Emcr&oiv believed that a railroad
manager "must be bom again." He said
that, all railroads were efficient in some
directions, and particularly cited the
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul as one
that has a remarkably good record for
fuel efficiency. He contended that rail
road efficiency would be impossible
without seme scientific management, but
be knew of no road that had adopted
scientific management as a whole.
At the outset Mr. Brandeis read a tele
gi;3ni from John Linton. secretary of th-
National Furniture Manufacturing As
sociation, dated at Grand Rapids, Mich.
Mr. Lfnton telegraphed because of re
ports of the testimony yesterday "by
parties claiming to represent the position
of the furniture manufacturers of Grand
Rapids," what the action of the Na
tional Association of Furniture Manu
facturers of America' at their annual
meeting last May. confirmed at their re
cent meeting at St. Louis on November
10. really wax. The action he quoted as
follows:
"We. (he furniture manufacturers of
America, are unalterably opposed to any
general advance in present freight rates
as « in plated by the railroads, be
tieviag any such advance unnecessary
and wholly inequitable and without jus
tification. Practically all Grand Rapids
factories approve."
Object Lesson m Bricks.
When Frank R. Galbraith, a New York
contractor,, told thn commission that
"ecientine management" could change a
ccinmonplacr workman to 1 an" expert
bricklayer in four weeks, it was admit
ted obi all sides that a. strong case had
been mad.- for the new method. Mr.
Gaibrafth explained that the bricklayer
does n«<t see with his eyes, but with liis
i. ft hand. He also astounded his hear
ers by the assertion that one side of a
brick hi smaller than the other, and
that th» layer instinctively feels for this
■mailer side in order that it may em
bedded in th« mortar. Under the old
method this "feolinK*' consumed a git-Ht
d«al of lime, but under the new system
the bricks are arranged with the small
lUe up, so that the layer BO longer has
to "feel."

out that the same fast freight service
now performed between New York and
St. Louis, and on •which the need of the
proposed additional railroad revenue was
to some extent predicated, was performed
fifteen years ago. Following his elab
orate analysis of conditions at St. Louis,
the commission adjourned until Friday.
The commission to-day announced that
the net revenues of the steam roads of
the United States last August aggre
gated $90,028,751. or $37749 a mile of
line, against $90,5)98,283, or $38610 a
mile of line In August, 1909. The de
duction of one-twelfth annual taxes left
the operating Income $81,163,009, or
$340 32, as against $S3.OOO,G!K>. or $346 70

operated on which this summary of the
monthly reports of the railroads is based
v.as 238.493. as against 239,404 miles
last year. The detailed figures show
that for August. 1910, the total operat

total operating expenses 5164.4.55.599,

a net revenue of. a little more than

message will be formally received at th*>
White House. The message will be ready
on the night of the »th or early on the
29tli
"in his regular message the President will
deal with hi visit to Panama, making
recommendations on a number of subjects
he desires considered and discussed with a
view to parly legislation.
Coincident with the President's return it
was learned that there is not the ?llgnte»t
chance for an extra session of Congress
following the coming short session, me
President, it 1? said, sees no necessity ror
calling Congress to sit. after March 4.
Mr. Taft had an interesting day in Rich
mond, the most important futures of
which were an Informal address on the
Panama Canal at the luncheon given?: ln
his honor and an address before the Vir
ginia educational conference. There was
an amusing incident connected with his
departure from the old Confederate capital.
By mistake, be was driven to the suburban
railway station at Elba, and, not finding
his special train there, had to. return to
the Main street station.
The President's speech on the Panama
Canal was heard with preat interest. He
briefly described the satisfactory conditions
he found on toe isthmus, and aroused frrcat
enthusiasm by his prediction that the canal
would be thrown open to the world well in
advance of the official date of opening.
January 1, ISU.. He declared that, if ne
cessity demanded, he believed American
battleships could be sent through the wa
terway by January 1, 1913.
Prompt Completion of Canal.
'•What the American people want, if I
understand it," he said, "is the prompt
completion of the canal, and they are will
ing to pay fairly for it. It does not require
the imagination of an engineer to see that
the canal is there and Is being put through
and that it will be a great canal."
The President went into some detail in
dealing with the problem presented by the
Chagres River and declared that the lock
and lake plan finally adopted was the only
feasible one for controlling that turbulent
stream.
"I think generally the people of the
United States favored a sea level canal,"
he said. "They thought of a lock and its
gates as difficult and complicated, machin
ery, and they thought the idea of lifting a
vessel of 23.000 tons by water and machin
ery was so full of difficulty that it would
present obstacles every time a steamer
went through. But the advantage of vis
iting the isthmus is to confirm the Judgment
of the engineers in the mind of the layman
that the thing is now easy. It Is shaping
itself. The dam. which seemed such a tre
mendous work, is a long way toward com
pletion, and when you walk over it you
don't realize that it is a dam. It is bo big
it seems as if It were a work of nature it
self.' They are preparing on the outside toe
of the dam to have golf links, and there is
plenty of room ; there for it.*'
The Day in Richmond.
Mr. Taft. spent the night at the Jefferson
Hotel in Richmond. At 8:30 he took break
fast with Governor Mann at the. executive
mansion. A salute of twenty-one guns was
fired by the Richmond Howitzers as the
President entered the Capitol square- At
1:30 the President was escorted out Frank
lin street and Monument avenue to th«
Jefferson Davis monument, where he re
viewed the cadets of the Virginia Poly
technic Institute and the Richmond Bines..
Following this ceremony the President was
taken for an automobile trip over the coun
try surrounding Richmond. He was ac
companied by Colonel W. Gordon McCabe,
who pointed out all the places of particular
interest. Mr. Taft was th* guest of two
hundred and fifty citizens of Richmond at
luncheon at the Jefferson. This afternoon
he made a address before the Virginia
Educational Confercrce.
MR. BRYAN TREMBLES
Fears Conservatism May Creep
Into Democracy.
[By Telegrapl to 'the Tribune.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 23.— W. .T. Bryan" says
editorially in his- "Commoner" to-day: "if
th« Democratic nominee for the Presidency
is to represent Democratic principles he
should be a man whose record justifies the
belief that he favors the election of United
States Senators by popular vote.
"Don't let any political literary bureau
or any 'local statesman' persuade you to
follow any candidate for the Democratic
nomination until you know just what he
will represent and work for when elected.
"Examine his record. Study his environ
ment. Notice, the character of his backers.
The Republican party i? all but wrecked
by 'standpatism.'
"The thing called "conservatism' in the
Democratic party is only another name for
the influences that have brought the party
of Lincoln to its present day plight.
"The fact is that there Is a move on foot
larger In proportion than the movement in
1904 to turn the Democratic party over to
the predatory interests. These writers un
derstand that Mr. Bryan recognizes the
real purpose, of this movement and they
know be may be depended upon to fight it."

BIGAMIST FO!r^G[RL'S HONOR
Billiard Expert's Arrest Follows
Suit for Annulment.
Justice Goff in the Supreme Court yes
terday halted the suit brought by Mrs.
Edna Harrer for the annulment of her
marriage to Charles Harrer. and had the
defendant taken by a detective to the
District Attorney's office to havo a charge
of bigamy preferred against him. Harrer
is a well known billiard expert.
The couple were married five years. ago.
Mrs." Harrer testified that she learned
several months after the marriage that
her husband already had a wife living.
She admitted that she had continued to
live with Harrer after her discovery.
When Harrer was called to the stand he
admitted that he had committed bigamy.
•'I', was to save her reputation." he said.
Thereupon Justice Goff sent to the Dis
trict Attorney's office for Mr. Bostwick.
one of the assistants, who came to the
Supreme Court with Detective r Thomas.
"1 will commit you both for investiga
tion by the District Attorney," said Justice
Goff. Haxrcr was led away by the detec
tive, and Mrs. Harrer, accompanied by
h^r young child, followed to th*- Criminal
Courts building. Harrer is a'oout fifty
years old, and his second wife is about
thirty. •
Justice Goff questioned T. Hertz, who
appeared ns counsel for Mrs. Harrer Th«

But Both Sides to Strike Firm in
Their Positions.
Roth sides in the strike of the chauf
feurs held out for their original proposi
tions yesterday, the union leaders de
claring that the men must have th*: closed
shop, and the taxicab companies being
equally firm in their position that they
would only consider the open shop. Th©
representatives cf the State Board of
Mediation and Arbitration are still tryina:
to bring, about another conference.
'. The police records yesterday showed
that thirty-four more of the strikers had
gone to work in the different garage?.
There was a good deal of talk at the
strike headquarters y -terday of the im
minence of another strike of the express
men before the Christinas holidays. The
drivers returned to work on the open shop
basis, but Since then the organizers have
been rapidly enrolling the non-union men
into the union. Charles H. Forster, treas
urer of the Chauffeurs' Union, said sue
express men had been notified by a com
mittee of the companies that it was ready
to meet a committee of the men to ar
range questions of wages and conditions.
"I believe hen the committees come
together another issue of the closed shop
will be made," said Forster, "and a new
strike is likely if a demand tor the closed
shop is again refused."
