J. Fernandez, secretary of the Monroe Traffic Bureau today.

Mr. Fernandez. was an important witness in behalf of the merger, being on the -fitness stand for more than two hours Saturday morning. He stated that, in his opinion, the Illinois Central will prove case. The hearing will last a large part of this week and the experts of the Illinois Pertral railroad will he the chief witnesses during the remainder of the hearing.

Mr. Fernandez stated that he was coniderably surprised to find that many o' the railroads west of the are opposing the merger and have witnesses at the hearing to do all possible to prevent the leases going through. This is true of the Kansas City Southern, the T. and P. and other lines, he stated.

These railroads propose a joint ownership of the local line, having several western railroads own and operate together. This plan is de' clared by friends of the merger to he unsatisfactory as it is believed that such ownership would mean little in the way of development of Monroe and vicinity. The testimony of Mr. Fernandez, along various mutters, was set forth essentially as follows: Adjustment: The shippers and receivers of frright located in Monroe and other in westetn Louisiana have been suffering under ja relatively unjust rate situation, which, and is now duo to the lower rates prevailing to the Missis- SHREVEPORT, May of the Louisiana Railway and Navigation company today to tiv Louisiana public service commission sitting en-banc that plans are now under way for tne building of a bridge Atehafa aja ri'ei and the making of a direct og of the Mississippi river thereby eliminating the eight mile, haui on toe latter river now made above Baton Rouge.

Because of this projected construction and evidence given by the railway officials that a total of approximately $1,500,000 has been spent in the last fifteen months in other improvements for the road, the commission continued the case in which the railway was cited to show cause why the road way, rolling stock, should not be improved and other citations relative to improvements between points and wes, of the Mississippi river.

The houses destroyed will exceed 3,000. Reports trickling into Osaka from the devastated area gave eye-witnesses accounts of the scenes of horror that followed the temblor. The i disturbance reached the full measure of its intensity with alarming suddenness which gave residents of Toko-Oka no chance for escape into the open streets. A number of persons were reported killed by boulders falling from the hillsides. Houses burned like tinder.

The water mains were buckled and severed and fire fighters were unable to halt the flames. The worst suffering and casualties, Osaka reports said, were caused by the fires. shipments and rates). the decisions in the cases have resulted in some relief for Monroe and other western Louisiana shippers, they did not sufficiently remove the unjust rate situation to enable the shippers located in western Louisiana to successfully compete with the cities located along the Mississippi river. The chief reason, the records will indicate why the desired relief was not afforded the Louisiana shippers by the commission vas because of the traffic and tramy portation conditions west of the Mississippi being more onerous than east thereof.
