INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 10.—John W. Alvord, a Chicago engineer, was called Thursday as witness for the water works company of Terre Haute to give rebuttal testimony in the city's petition for a reduction in rates. Alvord has been employed at a large salary by the company to make an appraisement of the plant. His appraisement was $1,734,000. The appraisement of the engineers for the commission was $985,710.

Edward Watts, a Princeton, Ind., expert^ who has been employed in the city's case, was placed on the stand this afternoon to testify as to the value of the plant.

Late yesterday President Dow R. Gwinn, John Thacker and William Kelley, all connected with the company, were called to testify as to the expense of putting in water mains,, the kind of soil found in Terre Haute, etc.

Engineer St-urtevant testified that the company had shown an annual dividend on the stock of 10.37 per nent.

City Engineer Kattman testfied concerning soil conditions and the laying of mains. William H. Wiley, former school trustee, and Business Director Allen testified that the city did not make use of the free water due it for the school until 1885 and that the use did nut become general until in the nineties.

C. L. Mees, president of Rose Poly, testified that that institution has' refused to pay water bills amounting to $5,356.44 since 1897, when the board of managers decided that under the franchise of the company they had a right to free water. Miss Minnie E» Hill, registrar and head bookkeeper of the Normal, testified that that institution had refused to pay water bill of $7,079 since the trustees stopped payments on the same grounds in 1902.

Chief Deputy U. S. Marshal Here With Number. Merrill E. Wilson, chief deputy in the office of United States Marshal Mark E. Storen, of Indianapolis, was in the city Thursday morning, serving subpoenas for witnesses in the federal investigation of the recent election in this county. The fact that Wilson was here when a number of arrests were made recently on warrants from the court of United States Commissioner Charles W. Moore, of Indianapolis, led to ths report that Wilson was here on a similar mission. Wilson, however, completed his work here Thursday noon, and returned to Indianapolis without making any arrests.

"In the region of Peth^s, the enemy, by means of two counter attacks, endeavored to recapture the entrenchments which he lost to us December 8. He was repulsed.

tions may be started relating to transportation charges. All the commission's recommendations are made in extraordinarily brief form and without discussion.

Otherwise the commission's report is a chronological review of the work of the year.

The work of physical valuation of railroads is well under way. With the coming of winter the field parties are being transferred from northern roada to those in the south. There are now eight parties at work surveying about 1,500 miles a month. The number of parties will be increased on January 1 to about 20 fof each of the five districts.

Causes of Accidents.

At some length the commission reviews the investigation of accidents. Collisions caused by improper flagging continue to be a prominent feature of these investigations, the report says, and cases of inexperienced men have been found. The number of collisions due to englnemen failing to regard block signals has decreased. "The inherent weakness of the train order system continues to manifest itself as a prominent feature of the accident record," says the reportf calling attention to the need of legislation to make standard operating rules.

The general movement among the railrgads for higfaer freight rates the comfci-.ssion dismisses with a brief review of the proceedings in the eastern advance case which it decided last August, and which Is now again awaiting a supplementary decision.

Various decisions of the commission carried to the supreme court are discussed in some detail with references to their application to interstate traffic.
