Comment by Chicagoan.
Speaking of this institute in a report to
interested people of the west, Secretary
George F. Stone of the Chicago board of
trade said:
"Business and industrial interests have
materially suffered in consequence of obstacles
that impeded the operation of the
law of supply and demand, chief among
which is the dissemination of unreliable
unofficial information concerning the
world's food supply and the world's food
demand.
"Ai present the world's summary of
growing crops, stocks on hand, quantity
on passage is defective, dislocated, irregular
as to time, unreliable, and should
be as soon as ]N>ssitile supplanted l?y a
uniform, well-digested system of-collecting
and disseminating this information
in clear, concise and authoritative form.
II should not be clone by one uuuou,
or under the supervision and advice
of one nation. but it should
be curried out by the consensus of opinion
of all nations as to items, classification.
etc., and should be Riven to the
world at stated and frequent periods.
Such a plan, in my opinion, would be of
incalculable benefit in its steadying effect
upon all the markets of the world."

VILL GIVE PUBLIC HEARING
luggestions of Secretary Eddy Favorably
Received.
O INVESTIGATE ACCIDENTS
nterstate Commerce Commission
Must Next Act on Report of
Subordinate Body. J
I
Perhaps the most important develop- :
lents thus far. from the standpoint of
uhlic interest, in the work of the DIs ict
electric railway commission, which
as in session yesterday afternoon and
lis morning, is indicated by the anouneement
that it is the sense of the
immission tlwt "some through service,
t least, should be provided on the
rightwood line."
In oider to get at the bottom of all the
tcts a public hearing will be held by
le commission at 2 o'clock in the afteroon
of October .r?, to whit i the railway
spresentatives. as well as the general
ublic who have an interest in the sub'ct,
will be invited. All sides will be
lven an opportunity to be heard.
Three reports were submitted to the
am mission by Secretary Eddy?a general
iport, one relating to the use of airrakes
on heavy grades, and the third a
pport in the Briglitwood case. Three
^commendations made by him were
dopted by the commission, and will he
ubmitted to the interstate commerce
ommission for its approval and their
romulgation in the form of official orers.
It was also decided that hereafter when
ccidents occur tlie commission will take
ognizance and institute investigations to :
scertain the facts for such further action
s in their judgment may seem required.
The commission adjourned to meet toay
at lO o'clock in order to complete as
ir as possible the business claiming its _
ttention prior to the departure of Comlissioner
West on his vacation. He has
pecially deferred his departure for the
urpose.
Of the recommendations of Secretary
!ddy the following were adopted by the
ommission for reference to the intertate
commerce commission:
Oil Taillights Recommended.
"That the last sentence of section 7
f the present regulations for the operaon
and equipment of street cars in the
dstrict of Columbia, as adopted by the
iterstate commerce commission July 7,
i*U8. be amended to read as follows:
" 'Every suburban electric car in moion
between sundown and sunrise shall
e provided with a headlight which shall
e located on the front dash, and a tailglit
which shall be located on the side
f the car near the roof at the rear end.
he taillight shall show red toward the
par and green toward the front. Oil
lust be used for fuel in taillights.' " ?
The object of this regulation, it is laid,
i to prevent collisions that are likely
3 occur when a car is on the down grade i
nd the current fails, putting out the j
ghts, so that motormen on cars which
:>llow cannot know that the track is obtruded.
"Second. That section J? be amended
y the following addition: 'Passengers
rill not be allowed to ride on the front
latform Or stand upon the steps, outide
the gates, or upon the fenders or
umpers of any urban, suburban or interrban
electric railway car in motion in
le District of Columbia; provided, that
lis regulation shall not be Interpreted '
) prevent passengers from occupying
le front seats on open cars or standing I
n the front platforms of trailers.' " f
This regulation will not become opera- I
ve until October 15. or at least that is I
ie purpose of the commission.
For Air Brakes.
The third recommendation provides for f
tie addition of the following to section
1 of the street railway regulations: 'All
ew double truck suburban or interurbart
lectric cars which shall be placed in
prvice In the District of Columbia on and
Iter October 1, 1it08, shall be equipped r
ith an approved type of air brakes in
ddition to the usual hand brakes." "
This recommendation is made at the
-.ggestion of B. II. Warner, who thinks
liat all tlie cars operating on the District I
nes should be oquipjied with air brakes,
he commission at present is willing to
riopt the recommendation so far as it
ppiies to new cars of the double-truck
attern, which may be placed in service
n the suburban or interurban lines on C
il l after October 1. but further oonsideraon
will be given the suggestion to ex?nd
tiie regulation to all cars. f
The foregoing regulations were unani- *
louslv adopted by the commission in
nme instances after considerable discusion.
Secretary Eddy's reports in the cases inestlgated
went fully into detail, and at
ie close of the session (Jen. John M. Wilon,
chairman of tlie commission, complilented
him on the service lie had thus far
ei formed. 1
Driving Her Insane. v
Seven new complaints were laid before
ho commission, which had been received j
incc its last session* The most promlent
among them was one from a lady of (
utionai reputation, who for years has ?
iado her home at a hotel facing IJ street f
etween 14th and loth streets. Her com- g
laint was addressed to Maj. Richard
ylvester, and was by him referred to the
ommission. She implored the major to ''
et rid of tlie loose rails and the whole 1
lachincry of worn-out. cars and trucks >
diich, she says, make night hideous in v
iial locality with tlipir noise. She states ?
mt if Secretary Eddy has the power and I
ill only root out and burn them, she
ill be glad to be present at tlie bonfire,
ang flags ouf of her windows, and hire a
and to play "Oh. say. can you see. by the f
awn's early light, tlie flambuoyatit vision ^
f our new freedom?" She seriously ?
arned tne major that unless something
f tlie sort was done, and done quickly, "
he will surely be a candidate for St. Elizbeth
before inauguration day. c
Another complaint from a gentleman,
ho cites as a precedent for tlie adoption .
f Ills suggestion the fart that the ears .
11 7th street stop regularly on one side,
nd on signal on the other, at K street E
orthwest, asks that the cars going east
11 C street northeast be required to reglariy
stop on the west side of Delaware
venue, and. on signal, on the east side

4 called out by the conductor from being J
arried all the way to Delaware avenue
nd B street, with the prospect of a walk 11
ark laden with baggage and the like. 0
The Northeast Suburban Citizens' As- 1
oriation complains of overcrowded cars v
etween 4::u> and 0:30 o'clock p.m., of no
traps to hang on when cars are over- n
rowded, especially cars No. hod (Ana- '
ostia and Potomac railway) and No. 420 n
rity and Snburun line); of overcrowded w
urs to theaters between 7 and 8 ocioek
.m., of excessive speed past crossings,
rhcn returning to tlie barn after the end
t" a run to turn in; and the practice of v
ainlng all the green help for other lines s,
n the City and Suburban line.

Wants Another Switch. a
A resident of Petworth, while pleading r
jr through service as the only real reme.
y and expressing confidence that it will n
,>on eoine through tlie action of the com- ?
lission. begs tliat a switch be ordered for "
ie Uc Droit Park cars on W street, in- *
tend of permitting them to switch on tlie ''
irightwood avenue track, thus delaying c
lat service. He also protests against the
ttompt. in transferring at the !?th street *
ar loop, to pack four trainloads of peo- t!
le of two oars each into a single Bright'ood
car. which, he says, is a daily oetirrence
between 5 and ?i o'clock p.m. tl
[ore cars are needed at once on the b

Nation Accused of Neglect by
Representative Moore.

Lost Opportunities Pointed Out in
Baltimore Speech.
TALKS OF COMING CONFERENCE
Declares Movement for Atlantic Inland
Route Is of Qreat Concern
to Common People.
BALTIMORE. September J1.-Representative
J. Hampton Moore yesterday
delivered a talk on the Atlantic waterways
plan. There was a conference of
prominent business men in the mayor's
office, at which plans were formulated to
g*t the aid of Congress in the big work.
Representative Moore said:
"In company with Chairman Burton
of the ri%*ers and harbors committee. I
have just had the honor of inspecting
certain of the waterways of Europe, and
the result of that inspection has been to
convince me more than ever of the greHt
importance of American agitation for and
insistence upon deeper and improved waterways
for purposes of tra report at ion
and of commerce.
Far Behind Europe.
"We arc far behind the European countries
in this respect, on their ride they
have the advantage of many centuries

side we have been mo prosperous in othOr
directions and so wasteful of our natural
resources. If you please, that we havo
overlooked some of the foundation stones
upon which the ultimate success of our
country will depend.
"The approaching convention of the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association,
to be held in Baltimore November 17 to
19. will emphasize the work of the as
sociation during the past year and rally
the supporters of the policy we advocate.
What this means to the commercial, industrial
and agricultural Interests no man
can estimate. If the opening of a waterway
from the north side of Cape Cod to
Ixmg Island sound means the saving of
a single life employed In the shipping
trade, why should we not strive for the
completion of it?
Great Concern to Common People.
"If the deepening of an inland channel
between the Delaware river and the
Chesapeake bay will give to American
ships of war a safe inside passage and
a harbor for repairs or for stores In
times of peace or in times of war. and
will save an outside sailing distance of
hundreds of miles, with all its perils,
why should a great nation like this hesitate
to provide such deeper channel?
"If. again?and I regard tlila as of
greater concern to the common people?
the deepening of such ft waterway between
any such ports along the Atlantic
coast, or from any point of production
to any point of shipment, will enable the
farmers or the manufacturers to dA mora
business than they hitherto have done,
or will provide facilities that will at*
tract trade and encourage the
ment of American shipping, why ahmtW ;
e*e not provide such waterways and thua j
strengthen the han?D of the fereddWlA*
nets of our country?"
