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. Charles B.

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.

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." P.

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 mileage 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 ing revenues were $254,005,972 and the total operating expenses 5164.4.55.599, the total net revenue already given in cluding outside, operations, which yielded a net revenue of. a little more than $500,000.

It was said Goldstein had been arrested about forty times, but had escaped convic tion by thf shrewdness of his operations, being charged with only disorderly conduct. The specific charge against him in this case was that on June 29 last lie picked the pocket of Nathan Platzer, of No. 241 Boerum street, on a Bushwick avenue car, taking ISO In cash and a ring valued at £200. The arrest-was made by Detectives Convvay and McClusky. When Goldstein was found guilty, he de clared it was .t •■frame-up" on the part of the detectives.

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.

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."
