Washington. June 21.—Thle was the
day the presidents of all the railroads
which have been under scrutiny during
the Investigation of the coal business
by the Interstate commerce commission
were Invited to appear before that
body and offer Such testimony ss they
might deelre. Not one was present
thle morning. The Pennsylvania rail,
road was the only one that had any.
thing to say "In defense." *
John B. Thayer, fourth vice preil
dent of that road, was here, as he said,
"to clear up certain matters.” When
Mr. Thayer, who Is considered the
mouth-piece of the Pennsylvania rail
road, took the stand the first thing At
torney Thomas Patterson asked him
w*s to explain the system of coal car
distribution In vogue on the Pennsyl
vania- He declared that the cars are
distributed on a pro rata basis, fixed
by the physical and commercial ca
pacity of the mines. Individual cars be
-ny Included In these allowances.
Ill regard to .the abolition of the
Individual ears, Mr. Thayer said that
when President Cassatt went to Europe
this spring he left a verbal order for
the abolition at some near time, prob
ably within a year, of all private cars
along Its line. Mr. Thayer added that
he and Vice President Pugh, upon their
own responsibility, had temporarily
suspended the order, believing that the
owners of these oars would not agree
that the Pennsylvania could furnish
them sufficient cars to carry on their
business and thus Insure against in'
terruptlon to business. With the pri
vate owners taking this position, hi
added, he feared suits would be brought
In the . stats courts by operators not
wishing to asIL
Mr. Thayer explained hie action In
suspending the orders of President Cos
salt on the ground that the chief ex<
ecutlva, when going away, never left
definite orders, as conditions might
arise under which they could not be
carried out.
"Owners of Individual cars are about
the only kickers against our present
system," tald Mr. Thayer. 'They want
their cars In addition to the allowance

that barricading of the four driveways
makes it more dangerous, and that It Is
a matter for the shippers to settle.

gerous than six?" asked Mayor Wood
ward when the matter was brought up.
‘Ilf there had been only two railroad
tracks across Whitehall street the via
duct would never have been built, es
pecially It the tracks had been as far
apart as the openings are on Hunter
street since the fences have Men put
up. Bat If these openings are still a

HOW TO GET WHAT YOU NEED-
EVEN DIRECTORIES OR SIFTERS
If you can't find what you want, Just take this straight tip: -
Advertise in THE GEORGIAN foe it
For several days an employee of The Georgian sought for a city di
rectory. He couldn't get one from the publishers, Foote & Davies. They
said they toad sold every one that had been printed, and that they had
for two months bean advertising for them In Atlanta papers. But they
couldn't get any, even by offering liberal premiums.
Finally, Wednesday a story was written and printed In The Georgian
about the shortage In the directory market, and the need this paper felt
for another copy.
In two hours after the paper was on the streets, Dr. E. F. Fincher, of
South Atlanta, telephoned that he would be glad to put a 1906 directory
at the service of this paper. He declined to accept a premium for tt.
A little bit later, W. R. Jones, of No. 15 Waverly Place, offered one
to The Georgian.
Thursday morning the city hall reporter of this paper was offered
six directories.
Doesn't that preach a moral to buelneee men?
The Georgian Is read. It Is read widely, and thoroughly, and what
appears In It sticks In the minds of the readers.
Just one more word.
Last Saturday The Georgian printed a title story about Colonel Wes
Shropshire's fruitless search for a sifter. Two days later Colonel Shrop
shire received fourteen sifters.
