relaeC Sayler a bavrter. By Interstate Commerce Before Senate. Proposes Compulsory Equip ment of All Roads. Harrim ai lattrests Prep arise Far Hearing Before t'onmissien Mei-day Sait E-joia Traffic Discriminations- Washington. February 23.

The interstate Commerce Commission to-day sent to the Senate an exhaustive report concerning the investigations made of the block system to prevent railroad accidents. The commis sion recommends the passage of a bill which It submitted a year ago that would compel all railroads to adopt the system. but now suggests that the time for com pliance with compulsory features be extend ed three or four years from the aresent. The report estimates that it would take from one to three years for railroads to equip with the Mock system, the difference in time depending on the time required to train operators and for manufacturers to supply the apparatus needed. Whether a law is passed at the present session or not the commission asks that it be authorised to make an official investigation of ail train accidents.

Reference is made to the commission's investigation of the recent wrecks on the Southern and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads, both of which have the block system. Although these investigations are not complete, the commission says the wrecks cannot be charged to the failure of the block system but rather to the laxity of the operation of the system. There are now 48,743 miles of railroads operating, trains under the block system, of which 6.827 miles are automatically operated and 41,916 controlled by manual ap paratus. The report deals with methods employed, kinds of apparatus, the merits of different methods and devices and the economy of the block system and its value as a safeguard for lives and property. No effort Is made, however, to decide which la the best of the various kinds of apparatus, nor does the commission urge that the auto matic system be demanded at this time.

ALTON MANAGEMENT Under Union Pacific Is To Be Inves tigmted. New York. February 23. E. B.

Kellogg and C. A. Severance, of St. Paul, special counccl to the Interstate Commerce Commission in its investigation of the Harri-man Railroad interests, held a long confer ence at the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday preparatory to the second hearing of the committee here relative to these railroads. This hearing will take place next Monday.

Neither, lawyer would impart any information about the conference. It is rumored, however, that the commission and its counsel consider that the subject of raffle competition has been adequately probed at the other hearings, and that the forthcoming Inquiry will deal mostly with the financial operations of Mr. Harrlman and his associates bearing on the Union Pacific Road. Mr. Harrlman himself will be examined, and It became known yesterday that C.

W. Hllllard. Comptroller of the Chicago and Alton Road, has been subpoenaed to testify before the commission. This Is taken to mean that the alleged management of the Alton by the Union Pacific will be gone Into. Mr.

Milliard is a former official of the Rock Island Road, which. It Is said, came under the control of the Alton last fall. and he became Comptroller of the Alton In succession to William Mahl, present Comptroller of the Union Pacific. Mr. Harrlman.

Otto Kuhn. of Kuhn, Loeb Comptroller Mahl and Secretary Miller have consulted frequently this week. It is said, with the object of preparing themselves for the examination by the commission. DISCBmiNATION Charged'' Against Several Railroad at Kansas City. Kansas City.

Railroad earnings for February are some what improved over the earlier -reports, says Dun's Review, and total gross earnings of all United" States roads reporting for the first two weeks of the month are $12,623,504. an Increase of 5.8 per cent over the corresponding time last year. Traffic wss greatly delayed on many roads during this period by storms, while the roads a year ago were almost wholly free from this condition, yet earnings reflect a heavier tonnage movement this year. Comparison is made below of gross earnings of United States roads reporting for the first two weeks of February and earnings of the same roads for the corresponding period in January; also, the more complete reports for January and the (wo preceding months: Gross earnings Per luT.

Intending to uso tbe money to build a home' for himself and his bride.

When he failed in tils bold at tempt he fled to Cincinnati, and lie was lo cated here several days ago. The Pinkerton operatives and local detectives have been searching for him. as the authorities of Napoleon, had learned of his identity and sent on a warrant for his arrest on a robbery charge. Superintendent Crowe, of the Pinkerton Ietective Agency, and Defectives Jackson, Callahan. Dwyer and Kelly located him last evening In a saloon on Sixth street.

near Lodge alley. They uad been warned that he was a desperate man. and would shoot on sight If he thought his arrest was to be attempted, so they were prepared for a battle. The detectives rushed him. and he made good the warning that had been given out about him by reaching his hand in stlnctlvely to Wr bark pocket.

He put up a stiff fight before he was subdued. PAWNSD HIS REVOLVER. The reason r.o shooting affray occurred was explained when the detectives found in his pocket a pawn ticket showing that Vie had pawned his i.Vcalibor Colts re volver in Albert's pawnshop on Friday. He received a loan of $2 on the gun. McCourt ney was taken to police headquarters and locked up.

When he v.s searched he had Only four pennies. McCourtnev. wiio is 30 years old. made a vigorous denial that he was the man wanted. He said ho is an electrician and has been employed by a firm at Fifth and Race streets for several months.

He claimed he had been in the city for seven months and had not been out of it. After the detectives talked to iiitu for a while, however, he pot surly and refused to say anything without the advice 'of an attorney. hen he was locked up at Central Police Station he objected to the two statlonhouse keepers taking hold of Tils arms and threw them aside. A fight started and the detectives had to separate the men. McCourtney has.

been living for a week at a boarding house at 1020 Wesley avenue. The detectives went there last night and found In his room a canvas' bag containing about tOO cartridge. It was the weapon McCourtney pawned Fridsy which the police claim 'ne nsed in the attempted bank hold-up. This occurred early in the morning of February 13. WAS -A NERVT JOB.

It Is claimed McCourtney went, to tiie home of the Cashier of the masked and armed, and forced the Cashier to put on his clothes and accompany him. taking along the keys to the bank. At the point of a revolver the robber forced his prisoner to open the bank. and. once inside, he called upon him to open the safe.

The safe was equipped with a time lock, however, and could not le opened until a certain hour in the morning. Angered at this, the robber hit the Cashier on the head with his revolver, bound him to a chair and left robbing a cash drawer of its contents, about S2o. In his flight the robber dropped his mask and a handkerchief. The investigation of the authorities re vealed that this handkerchief had been presented to Frank McCourtney by his sweet- heart. They learned that he was to have been married within a couple of months and was penniless, and it is believed he intended to use tbe money he got from the bank robbery to get married on and fix us a house.

The authorities In Napoleon learned that the young woman to whom McCourtney is engaged had been writing letters to hi in Cincinnati, and this caused him to be located here. He is being held for the In diana authorities, and will be taken back there to-day. A TEN-POUND How Auditor Knight Celebrated Wash ington's Birthday.
