One of the Passengers Robbed on Seaboard Train In Virginia Yester day Tells of Experience. Observer Bureau, 1209 Main St. . Columbia, S. C, Dec. 31. Two well-known Columbiana promi nent in social and business circles !nere were on the train which was robbed by a (highwayman near the North Caro lina line. One of tnese looked down the barrel of the robber's revolver. This Columbian was in berth No. 10, which was next to 12, which the robber entered first and from which !ne se cured $300 in cash and a $700 dia mond. "The fellow was very loud." - said the Columbian, "and woke, up the en tire Pullman full of people talking about shooting. He followed the por ter Into the sleeper from the day coach and then at the point of his pistol made the porter lock the door behind him. He raised a devil of a racket in berth No. 13, and I fell out of "my berth and was told not to do any ahootlng. He turned Ala gun on mV and - I 'subsided. The racket brought Conductor Eberfyirdt In front the other end, but the robber simply backed him out again at the point of his revolver and, pulling the bell cord, stepped off at La Cross station, taking a Knot at the conductor as the train pulled out" . The other Columbian was In the day coach and saw the robber got up and follow the porter. engineer made a statement to the Associated Press In which he declar ed that If the danger signal light was dlspaley at Takoma he failed to see it on account of the dense fog. RAN PAST DANGER SIGNAL. Melton W. Phillips, the operator who Is also held a prisoner at the tenth preclntct aald to-dy that the equipment train ran past his danger signal at a speed of. from 50 to 60 miles. He says there was a heavy fog, but not enough to hide a red Iglht . He declarea that he immediate ly notified the operator at University station that he rain had aken the block against orders. His statement! is corroborated by the University sta tion operator, who says he received the messages. Policeman J. T. Kennedy, stationed at Takoma Park,, will testify that he saw the signal light In Its proper place and that Hlldebrand drove paat the signal. Fred Lekman, gatekeeper at Takoma, makes a similar statement. C. W. Galloway,, general superlnten tendent of transportation for the Bal timore A Ohio Railroad, exonerated the company from all blame, and put the responsibility on the engineer of the equipment train or the operator at Takoma block. .'If the coroner's jury falls to hold the engineer or the block-operator,", he said, "we shall not consider the matter settled. We shall go to the bottom of the wreck. This horrible catastrophe could have teen avoided. Some one Is respon sible and we Intend to leave no stone unturned until the rfespontsbtllty haa been, fixed. The Takoma block sys tem was installed two years ago and Is the safest known to railroad, men." FOR A SPECIAL INVESTIGATION. Chairman Knapp of the 'Inter State commerce commission, to-night said to the Associated Press that the commission to-day considered the ad visability of making a special inves tigation tnto the causes of the wreck. No decision has been reached, he says. as to when this investigation will bej made. Another member of the com. mission, In discussing the proposed In. vestlgaUon. said: ( "It has been suggested - that we ought to have an expert present at the coroner's Inquest' and that may be done, though he could not take any Dart In asking- the questions. "But It ts probable that ander the Joint resolution instructing us to in vestlgate and report on the operation of the b'ock signal system we could make a special Inquiry in this, and the commission will take up as soon as bomlble the question' of doing so."' , While the kreck haa brought the deepest sorrow to scores of Weaning ten houses, a triple' portion visited that of Dr. E. O. Belt, who lost his lite, with his two sons,. Edward and St; Clair. Mrs. Belt - was at home nursings the youngest son, Norvello, thfee years old, who has a broken leg, Hearing of the wreck ' and knowing her husband and sons were on the train, it was with Increasing horror she waited In vain for their coming.

Indeed. It may. be said that It is obvious that Congress, In, the act referred to, -had 'in. obn-! templatlon no more than the creation of the liability menloned and It would be a most strained construction -to hold that it included anything broad er than that. Creating new liabilities growing out of the relations of roas ter and servant on the one hand-and regulating commerce on the other are two things that are so entirely differ ent that confusion,- of the Judicial mind upon them Is hardly to be ex-', pected under normal conditions, rh ( the opinion of the court, the act does , not regulate commerce among the ' States. ' ..; "While the title Is not controlling In construction of an act of Congress, the title In this Instance accurately describes the contents of the meas ure, for It In fact aoes notnwg more i than fix the liability of certain com- I ...... ... mon carriers to their employes." The alleged cause of action oc curred In Kansas. The husband of the plaintiff was killed In a railroad accident, and suit was brought for $25,000 damages and an amount suf ficient to cover the coat of. expenses Incident to death. MISS A.

In round numbers he places the receipts for the calendar year 1906 at $625,- 000,000 and the . expenditures at I $666,000,000; or " an excess of re i 000. As there has been no change in . tariff law ni- thn 1aw rolatlnff 5ntSarrenAc,rerSl says the large increase in receipts Is due Solely to . the extraordinary trade activity The total expenditure, however, ior 1906, as compared with U05, he says, Bhows a decrease of but $5,000,000. Discussing the finances of the gov ernment for the six months of the present fiscal year Just closed, the Secretary says that the books of the Treasury show surplus receipts over expenditures of $$5,000,000, as com-! ago, when the anti-American boycott pared with a deficit of $5,000,000 for. movement was at Its height, in an the corresponding months of the or-- 8Wer t0 Minister RockhlH'a earnest vfous fiscal year.

Against this cash there are liabilities at the pres- : the same time last year. 1'he avail able cash balance has Increased dur lng the year $101, 000,00. CAUSE OF MONET SHORTAGE. With the general fund standing at $287,000,000, Secretary Shaw remarks that the bonds maturing July 1. 1907, can be paid If il shall bo deemed wise and still leave a working balance of more than $120,000,000. During the last 12 months, the Sec retary continues, the money In actual circulation, exclusive of tne amount in the Treasury vault, has Increased over $200,000000. Of this Increase $145,000,000 Is available for bank re serve and $69,009,000 ts in -national bank circulation. Toils," he I -says "seems to be a complete answer tq the off-repeated and ill-advls ed criticism that the Independent Treasury system necessarily results in contraction when money is most needed." . He maintains, therefore, that the exist ing money stringency, world-wide in It" extent. Is traceablo In no respect and In no degree to the independent Treasury system of the United States. He says the manifest and admitted shortage has been caused by the un precedented prosperity In this coun try and reasonable prosperity every where. As to the currency svstem of the United States, Secretary Shaw says that in his Judgment It permits ade- Quale expanslor, but that Its weakness Is its failure to produce contraction. The volume of money, he contends, ; does not respond to the volume of our business. Tne annual increase, ' he adds, may be sufficient, but there Is no annual contraction during the dull summer months. "Only the un thinking and ill-advised." he saya, "charge the admitted stringency sole- j )y or largely to stock and bona spec ulation." BANKS CAN'T CO-OPERATE.
