fir rrir.lt Lasted Wirt.
Washington, July IS.—Before the In
ternists commerce commlealon today,
J. T. Marchand, counsel for the com
mi««iin. proceeded to elicit testimony
from George U Peck, general man
ager of the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburg, which, he believe*, will en
rage the railroad companies other than
the Pennsylvania, who have had con
tracts for lubricating oil with the
an i»ns oil Company, of Franklin, Pa
He showed the Pennsylvania lines
ft the lubricant for about 10 cents,
although the Hated price waa 2? cents,
and that other railroads paid much
more, notwithstanding the fact that
their contracts assured them the lowest
prices charged anybody.
The hearing waa before Commission
ers Knapp, Prouty, Clements and Cock
rell.
Peck testified that the contracte pro
vided for payment for oil on a mileage
heels. He said It was the policy of tho
oil company lo reduce the oil used lo
the lowest possible point “consistent
with good lubrication."
In response to questions and sugges
tions from Commissioner Prouty, the
witness testified that the average price
for oil used under the contract waa
about 10.72 cants per gallon, while the
average list price of all the oils used
»«( something more than 27.22 cants.
I.awrcnce Nicolai, formerly an In
dependent oil jobber, was lo have been
Interrogated relative to the manner In
which he retired from business and the

E BILL
A SPLIT
A red-hot meeting of the directors of
the chamber of commerce waa held on
Thursday at noon, when, after an hour
ami a half of discussion on tht pro
posed su>stltutd for house bill No. 201.
"to regulate and define thp liabilities of
Insurance upon contracts of fire Insur
ance," many of ths directors left the
meeting just before the vote waa taken.
There were then not enough members
rreeent to form a quorum and the mat
ter had to be postponed.
During the long discussion of the bill
a number of opinions were read, some
from prominent attorneys.
It was stated that most of ths mem
bers of the chamber of commerce were
In favor of the bill, bnt this was an
swered by the argument that the In
surance men Should be able to direct
their own business, and that It was not
the business of ths chamber to Inter
fere.
After a number of the directors had
left it was proposed to take a vote and
consider n quorum preaent. This was
overruled by President Bam Jones,
chairman, and the masting cams to a
close, having taken up no other busi
ness.
