"Listen to this, Mary," he said, after a moment while his lip trembled: "This morning Alexander Powers, Superintendent of the L.and T.R.R.
shops in this city, handed in his resignation to the road, and gave as his reason the fact that certain proofs had fallen into his hands of the violation of the Interstate Commerce Law, and also of the state law which has recently been framed to prevent and punish railroad pooling for the benefit of certain favored shippers.

Mr.
Powers states in his resignation that he can no longer consistently withhold the information he possesses against the road.

He will be a witness against it.

He has placed his evidence against the company in the hands of the Commission and it is now for them to take action upon it.
The News wishes to express itself on this action of Mr.Powers.

In the first place he has nothing to gain by it.
