WITNESSESS FLAY
R.R. MANAGEMENT
Commission Hears Testimony
That Carriers Are Not
Properly Equipped
SANTA FE MAKES BIG SAVING
St. Louis Expert Arraigns Pro
posed Rates as 'Gross
ly Unfair'
[Associated Press]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23—Today's
session of the Interstate commerce
commission consisted mostly of discus
sions of scientific management of rail
roads by expert witnesses. \
Attorney Louis Brandels, for the, At
lantic seaboard shippers, ln summing
up, reiterated the request that the com
mission conduct an Independent inves
tigation if it believes the railroads
have not introduced scientific methods.
He believed he had produced evidence
to show they had not.
Charles B. Going;, managing editor
of an engineering magazine', told how
the Santa Fe railroad had made a net
saving of $5,300,000 in five years in its
repair and machine shops through
functional organization and analytical
study and standarlzatlon of Instruc
tions. • y ,
Harrington Emerson, engineer, fac
tory manager, Investigator and busi
ness Instructor, testified it was by no
means settled that larger locomotives
meant diminished cost.
He referred to the Union and South
ern Pacific several times in response
to questions by Commissioner Prouty,
who asked him how it was that those
two enterprising roads had not seen fit
to adopt those principles, if they ha"d
Hot done bo. He said he had talked
with J. J. Hill and he knew Mr. Hill's
road moved more power for a less
amount and hauled a larger tonnage
per locomotive than the Union Pacific.
Mr. Emerson believed that a railroad
manager, "must be born again." He
said that all railroads were efficient in
some directions, but he knew of no
road that had adopted scientific man
agement as a whole.
B. Taylor Bryan, counsel for the
Business Men's league of St. Louis, in
troduced as a witness P. W. Coyle,
traffic commissioner for that league,
formerly assistant freight manager of
the Wabash. He said that there was
no justification for the proposed in
creases in rates, which he arraigned as
grossly unfair and discriminative. He
pointed out that the same fast freight
service now performed between New
York and St. Louis was performed fif
teen years ago.
RAILROADS OFFER BRANDEIS
JOB AT HIS OWN SALARY
CHICAGO, Nov. Attorney Louis
D. Brandeis' statement before the In
terstate commerce commission on be
half of the eastern shippers that rail
roads, through alleged Inefficient, man
agement wasted 000,000 a day was
answered by western railroad presi
dents today with a telegram offering
him a position "at his own salary" If
he could point out the alleged misman
agement. , .
"A salary of a quarter of a million a
year would not be excessive if he could
save twice that much, all told, to us,"
said the representative presidents.
The telegram followed a conference
of western railroad presidents in which
Darius Miller, B. L. W. Winchell, H. U.
, Mudge and F. A. Delano are known to
have participated. :

FINERY AT CLUB TALK
Miss Mary Bervard and Mrs. Sam-1
uel Storrow, who was Miss Lethe

gram at the Ruskin Art club yester
day morning. Both contributed pa
pers upon topics in Peruvian history,

As these young women were to ap
pear Mrs. Chester Brown urged them
to don for the occasion some of the
rare old embroidered shawls and
combs which she brought with her
from Peru when returning. from that
country a few years ago.
The shawls and ornaments were pur
chased by Mrs. Brown from former
Spanish grandees fallen upon ill-for
tune and so obliged to part with these
treasured possessions. Mrs. Brown
also brought with her rare samples of
silver and brassware which show In
every line and curve suggestions of
the splendor of living observed by the
early Spanisa settlers of means or
position. i
After several years of residence in
Peru, Mrs. Brown was In a position to
answer many questions upon which
history is silent or indifferent.
The subject of the meeting was
Peru, but all this season the South
American and other Spanish Ameri
can countries have been studied by
club members. Papers of . great In
terest were contributed yesterday by
Mrs. Storrow. who was one of the
leaders, with Mrs. A. C. Greppln, Miss
Mary Bernard, Mrs. Arthur Levitt and
Mrs. W. J. Saunders. Each one por
trayed some different - phase of the
life of romance, war and adventure
in which the discoveries and achieve
ments of early Spanish days were
made.
The establishment of Spanish power
in Peru, the treatment of the natives
of New Spain and general results of
the first century of Spanish rule ln
America were all discussed thoroughly
by the speaker*.
The subject for the next meeting
will be the literature of Spanish, Mex
ican and South American countries.
Miss Cordelia Klrkland and Mrs. H.
W. Clough will be in charge.

FRIENDS PREPARE
TO HONOR BISHOP
Right. Rev. Thomas J. Conaty Will
Celebrate Anniversary of
Consecration Today
NOTABLE RECORD IN CHURCH
Head of Monterey and Los An
geles Diocese Foremost in
Ecclesiastical Activity
Bishop Thomas James Conaty, head
of the diocese of Monterey and Los
Angeles and one of the most widely
known bishops of the Catholic church
in this country, will celebrate the ninth
anniversary of his consecration to the
episcopacy today. The bishop will pass
the day quietly, dedicating the new
church of St. Cecilia this morning.
Bishop Conaty was born in Ireland ln
1847 and came to this country with his
parents when very young. He received
his early education in Taunton, Mass.,
and is the graduate of several colleges.
He was ordained to the priesthood
thirty-eight years ago, serving many
years as pastor of the Sacred Heart
church of Worcester. In 1896 he was
made president of the University of
Washington. The then Dr. Conaty was
raised to the rank of domestic prelate
to the pope, with the title of monslgnor,
snd in 1901 to the office of bishop, being
consecrated November 24 in Baltimore
by Cardinal Gibbons.
Seven years ago Bishop Conaty was
made bishop of the diocese of Monterey
and Los Angeles, one of the important
branches of the Catholic church in
America.

with many of the progressive move
ments of the church, and for some
years was active in the National Land

stinence association, and was the
founder as well as the first president of
the Catholic Educational association.

priests having been doubled since his

toration of the historic missions and in
the work of the Landmarks club,, and
Is popular with rich and poor. Catholic
and Protestant alike.
ABE RUEF'S CONVICTION
CONFIRMED ON APPEAL
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.—1n a
46-page decision rendered late today
t: c court of appeals of the first dis
trict affirmed the judgment of the su
perior court against Abraham Ruef,
the former political boss, who was con
victed of bribery and sentenced to
fourteen years in San Quentln.
The decision was made after the
court had read a record of twenty-four
bound volumes of 2800 pages, said to
be the longest ever submitted to an
appellate court in this country and af
ter having listened for several days
to oral arguments.
The decision, written by Presiding
Judge Cooper was concurred in by
Judges Kerrigan and Hall. In answer
to the contention that the evidence was
Insufficient to justify a conviction, the
decision holds that the direct testi
mony of Supervisors Gallagher, Furey
and Wilson was abundantly corroborat
ed by the disposition of the $200,000
placed in the United States mint to the
credit of the president of the United
Railroads and subsequently transferred
to Ruef.
"In our opinion," says the court, "the
evidence not only supports the verdict
of the jury, but no other verdict could
reasonably be justified."
The charge of misconduct brought
against Judge Lawlor was dismissed
with the comment that while the pro
priety of a court indulging in reflec
tions on an attorney or questioning
the credibility of a witness might be
questioned, no misconduct has been
proved. -^
