HILL ROAD GETS CAUGHT
Burlington Fined for Violating Safety
Appliance Law.
KNOWING DETECT NO DEFENSE
Rallagr of Joda-e T. C, Meager, Wkit
Its oa This erlea of Cases
la the Valte. States
Coajrt,
The trial of the safety appliance cases
instituted by the United States against the
various railway companies at Omaha for
violation of the safety appliance act was
concluded Saturday morning before Judge
T. C. Munger In the United States district
Court. 1 ,
The Intt case tried was against the Chi
cago, Burlington Qulncy railway, two
suits being joined, comprising four counts.
The testimony In this case was finished
Friday evening and on Saturday morning
Judge T. C. Munger Instructed the jury to
return a verdict for the government on the
four counts. In his decision Judge Munger
said: ,
"The court finds that knowledge of the
existence of the defective appliance Is not
an element of defense, nor can It so be
recognized."
The penalty for each offense Is $100 and
under the Judgment given Saturday morning
the Burlington will have to pay a bulk fine
of 1100.
' There yet remains one case against the
Burlington to be disposed of, which In
cludes seventeen counts embodying seven
teen separate offenses. This case has been
continued until later In the term, or It may
not be tried until the January term of the
federal courts.
Assistant Attorney General L. M. Wal
ter, special attorney for the Interstate Com
merce commission, and party, who have
had charge of these cases, returned to
Washington Buturday evening. He will
next go to Cairo, 111., for the trial of sim
ilar cases there.
Cases Disposed Of.
The cases thus far heard and disposed of
at Omaha are:
United Btates against the Missouri Pa
cific, one count in favor of the government
and one count In favor of the railroad.
United Btates against the Chicago &
Northwestern, submitted on demurrer.
United States against the Union Pacific,
defendants confess judgment; fined $100.
United States against Union Stock Yards
Company, South Omaha, case taken under
adviaement of court.
United States against Chicagn, Burling
ton & Qulncy, two cases Joined; Judgment
for government on four counts; fined, $400.
United States against Chicago, Burling
ton St. Qulncy, seventeen counts; case con
tinued. The decision of Judge T. C. Munger In
the Burlington case ts regarded as of vital
Importance In this and like cases, as It
disposes of the question of "knowledge of
existence of defect" that has hitherto been
1 the favorite Issue of the defense. ' This,
judge Munger holds, is no defense and
'cannot enter Into the consideration of these
cases.
Eight era Inspectors at Work.
Thd Interstate Commerce commission has
eighteen inspectors employed In the work
of Inspecting the 2,000,000 freight and other
oars of the railway systems of the coun
try to establish the faot of defect of the
car or engine during the movement of the
train. These eighteen Inspectors are ex
perts drawn from the railway service and
are constantly engaged and must traverse
the entire extent of the country and their
work Is constantly colossal.
The Interstate Commerce commission has
already Instituted' over 1.500 suits against
the, railway companies of the country for
the violation of the safety appliance act
and continues the inspection of moving
trains.
Assistant Attorney General Walter and
his assistants carry with them elabprate
and complete working models of freight
cars, cars of all kinds, engines and railway
tracks and such other models as may be
necessary In the proper presentation of
these , cases.
Another question came up in the trial ef
the cases at Omaha which relates to the
standard, maximum height of drawbars
. and coupling apparatus from the tracks.
These, under the safety appliance act and
according to the American Railway asso
ciation, must be thirty-four and one-half
Inches, with an allowance for a slight
variation of not more than three Inches
In loaded cars that may happen to be
coupled with empty cars. It is on this
question of variation that the undecided
cases are now under advisement by the
court.
SUIT AGAINST I'.MOX PACIFIC
Action Filed for Vlolatloa of Tweaty-Elgbt-Hoar
Law.
United States Platrict Attorney Goes
filed suit in the United Btates district
court 6aturday morning against, the Union
Pacific railway company for $3,000 for
violation of the twenty-eight-hour law.
There are six counts In the petition find

that all of this overtime occurred be
tween Rawlins, Wyo., and Grand Inland,
Neb. The penalty in each case is for
$500, which wilt make a total of $3,000.
NOW COMES MINOR PENSION CASKS
Next oa the Docket foe Trial Before
Manger.
The next cases booked for trial are a
number of minor pension cases which will
be called Monday afternoon. With the dis
posal of a lot of minor cases, which prob
ably will be cleared away during next week
an effort will be made to get at the land
cases not later than October 20.
The trial docket shows that there re
main twenty-three law and nineteen
equity cases to be disposed of In the ctr
suit court at this term. But little has
been done thus far with the circuit court
docket and with the thirty-five cases yet
to be disposed of on the district court
docket, the present term Is liable to run
pretty well Into December.

WHERE SHOOTING IS GOING ON
The Moroccan Tons of Csablaca
and Its Varied Ills- -tory.
This Is not tho first timo in history that
Casablanca has been a storm center nor the
first time that it haa been reduced to ruins.
It has more than once been rebuilt after all
but total destruction, and It is likely Ahot It
will rise again whin the present' troubles
are over. It has a true reason for existence.
It is essential to the commerce of Morocco
and it is capable of becoming an important
port If the empire could only enjoy a few
years of peace and order In which to de
velop Ha trade.
Not that the harborage is especially good
at Casablanca. There Is, In fact, but a par
tially protected roadstead. There are times
when vessels lying there have to lift their
anchors and put so sea for safety. But it
la about as available as anything along that
wild Atlantic - coant, and It has many, com
pensating advantages for what It lacks in
security. '
. The city was once called Anla, and Its
antiquity runs back of Its recorded history.
It was a considerable place when in 146g
the Portuguese captured It, sacked it and
practically wiped it off the map. In 1515.
however, the Invaders themselves realised
the Importance of the site. They rebuilt
the town and it was they who called It Cas
ablanca: the Arab name for It la Par-el-Beida.
The Portuguese held It only a short
time. As they lost their hold on . their
African conquests It full once again Into the
hands of the Moors,
In 1755 it was devastated by, theS same
earthquake which reduced Lisbon to ruins,
and long afterward remained a pitiful fish
ing hamlet, squalid and poverty stricken, but
toward the end of the eighteenth century
il attracted the attention of spine Spanish
speculators and tliey secured concession
from the sultan, 8idl Mohammed, to export
cereals from It as well as from Fedala and
Ma lagan. From this time It began to raise
lis head again. It grew In population and
wealth. It was gradually rebuilt and pres
ently fortified. .As the outlet for the rich
and fertile region of Craouia It developed
a considerable trade. Just before the
French bombardment it was, after Tangier,
the most Important seaport of Morocco and
It had a population variously estimated at
from 30,uuo to 40.0U) Inhabitants, of whom
from 600 to N0O were JCuropeans principally
French, Spaniards. Germans and English.
The city lies in the hollow of deep and
spacious bay 'between rocky promontories
upon which the swell of the Atlantic breaks
unceasingly from year's end to year's end.
Ships that anchor in the bay are well pro
tected from westerly winds, but are com
pletely exposed to those from the north.

trees the whitewashed houses and minarets
glisten In the African ,sun., The deep green
of the shrubberies rests, the eye and trees
reduce the glare on the sandy roads as the

their old time battlemented towers.
The Inviting aspect of Casablanca, hqw

walls 11 Is a maxe of narrow, crooked, more

neither Spanish nor 'Mauresque, but a sort
of characterless hybrid. Hundreds of them
are mere hovels and large districts are
given up to sheds in which sheepskins and
goat kins, bales of wool and sacks of
grain are stored to await shipment. The
atmosphere Is laden with dust In summer,
the streets are slimy rivers of mud In the
rainy season. All day the heart of the
city used to be alive with a hustling
throng on business bent. . Bedouins In rags
