Despite the fact that Importations of
creosote oil, used by the railroads In creo
Botlni ties, have been nlmost entirely cut
off by the Kuropean war, cntisinR the
plants ofisovcral railroads In the Middle
West to close down, the Pennsylvania
Ttnllrond announced today that the com
pany has enoURh of this kind of oil to
treat nil the tics It needs.
A week before tho war boRnn, tho
Pennsylvania Itallroad received a ship
load of the fill from Germany, from
which country the best brand Is obtained.
This was divided between the company's
two crcosotlng ptnnts, one nt Greenwich
Point and the other at Mount Union,
Pa. When this supply of oil Is exhausted
tho company will use the domestic
product. The company has a large supply
of lies on hand at both plants, which
Is now ready for treatment.
Tt was announced today that the creo
sotlns plant of the Missouri, Kansas nnd
Texas Railroad, at West Dcnlson, Tex.,
hnd been closed because the company's
principal sources of supply of oil, Ger
many and England, had been cut off.
Annual Inspection of tho track of tho
Pennsylvania Railroad from Pittsburgh
to New York will be conducted on next
Tuesday and Wednesday. General Man

Northern Pacific Railroad during the
company's last fiscal year sold S00.0CO
acres of land, according to Thomas
Cooper, land commissioner and nsslstnnt
to the president of the company. The

Montana,
A temporary Injunction has been grant
ed In St. Louis preventing five vice presi
dents of railwayman's unions from call
ing a strike on the St. Louis Southwest
ern. The five conductors said that a ma
lorlty of the engineers of tho road had
voted against a strike. On next Tuesday
the defendants must show cause why the
Injunction should not be mnde perma
nent. The trouble Is the result of the
manngeivent's refusal to relnstnte a con
ductor who was accused of drunkenness.
With a view of promoting more Inti
mate commercial relations between the
United States nnd South American coun
tries, the New Vork Central Railroad, In
conjunction with the Aierlran Express

FAKE CLAIMANT FOR DAMAGES
PLEADS GUILTY TO PERJURY
Given Nine Months For Bringing
Suit Against Traction Compnny.
Seeing the futility of contesting charges
nf attempting to defraud the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company hy making a fake
claim for old injuries. Frank J. Marter,
of Shermandnle.t Pn.. brought his trial to
an abrupt ending today In Quarter Ses
sions Court by pleading guilty to a charge
of perjury. He was sentenced tn nine
months In the County Prison by Judge
Senrle.
Marter. who was known under several
aliases, appeared at th o!!lret of the
Rapid Transit Compnny last month, mak
ing a claim for dislocation of his right
arm. Me said he had been thrown from
a car nt the Fifth street station of the
iubway. Subsequently he entered suit in
the Municipal Court for $150) damages.
An Investigation of the alleged ne-'dent
hy Special Agent II. F. Unsklll. of the
Rapid Trinslt Company, shoived that
Mnrter's claim nns nut only frnud dent.
Inasmuch as no accident had occurred,
but that he was able to dislocate his
right arm at will.
Judge Searle. in passing sentence,
stated that neither the Commonwealth
nor the officials of tho Transit Company
sought to havo Indicted on Marter n
severe sentence.
"It Is n well-known fact," said tho
court, "that the Rapid Transit Company
and other such companies have been
compelled to pay manv false claims. The
prosecution of the defendant by the com
pany odkl.il? was Justiflnble. as they must
protect tne property or tne compnnv and
Its stockholders, nnd servo the Intrrcsts
of the public In seeing that fraudulent
claims are rejected nnd an example made
of the offender, so as io remove nil doubt
and suspicion where an hontst claim is
made."
