An official of the Monon said yesterday
that the report that the Indianapolis &
Vincennes and the Monon would build a
road to the coal mines of southwestern
Indiana and Illinois, using the former road
to get into Indianapolis, was only method
adopted to prevent the Indianapolis South
ern building a road to the mines in the
southwestern part of the State, had not
the least foundation. President McDoel,
of the Monon, is determined to build a
road to ship coal to Indianapolis and points
north on their lines, and cared nothing
about what the projectors of the Indian
apolis Southern did. Three lines, he said,
have been surveyed, two would come to
Indianapolis independent of the Indian
apois & Vincennes and one to Mooresville,
thence using the !. & V. tracks to In
dianapolis. The city would have a coal
road built in the interest of the Monon,
and manufacturers would get rates that
would enable them to compete with other
manufacturing centers on at least even
grounds. Arrangements have been made,
he said, for the money to build the road
and the line selected would be decided upon
within short time. The Monon people.

are anxious to give Indianapolis cheaper

AMERICAN POLICY WISEST
PAYING FOR IMPROVEMENTS OUT OF
EARNINGS THE BEST PLAN.
A Courteous Act on the Part of Wa
bash Employees - Rumors of More
Changes on Pennsylvania Lines.

Henry 3. Ledyard, president of the Mich
igan Central Railroad Company, whose ex-
tended railroad career makes him compe-
tent authority, states that ii is generally
known that British companies pay for i'm
provements with bonds or stock issues,
whereas American companies. as a rule.
pay for improvements out of earnings. and
the result is that British companies are
steadily increasing their permanent
charges. while the companies in the United
States are not adding in this way to the in
terest demands. He cites for Illustration
the policy OF the Michigan Central since he
has been connected with the road. In 1873
there was but iron bridge between
Buffalo and Chicago and forty-nine wooden
ones. In the following year. at cost OF
100000. the wooden bridges were replaced
with iron. AT that time an engine hauled
twenty-seven freight cars. ten tons TO the
car. The discovery was made that in
creasing the capacity of the car four times
did not even double the dead weight of the
empty car. The cars were enlarged, which
made 1t necessary to secure heavier cG-
gines and stronger bridges Thus, within a
few years after they had been put down it
was necessary TO take up all iron bridges
and put in better ones, capable of carrying
the increased tonnage of trains. Similar
changes have been going on with all pro-
gressive lines. There is another bad side
to the case, Mr.. Ledyard said. The steady
increase of the fixed charges of the rail-
roads means that income must constantly
increase. 1t is presumed, of course, that
the various improvements add TO the earn
ing power of the companies, but IT is evil
dent that the desire to make sure the meet
ing of interest and dividends as general
expenses will operate against any possible
reduction in transportation rates. Conse-
quently, the paying for improvements out
Of the earnings. Mr.. Ledyard argues. is
wise.

MRS. JULIA LlEB'S ESTATE.
Contention that Improper Methods
Were Used by the Heirs.

The suit of the Union Trust Company
against Catherine Metzger to recover
money alleged to be due the estate Of Julia
Lieb. Mrs. Metzgers mother, is on trial
before Lawson NJ. Harvey, special Judge in
the Circuit Court A similar suit was yes
terday brought by the trust company
against Roman Braun, son Of the late
Mrs. Lieb and the brother of Mrs. Metzger.
The contention is that the son and daughter
of Mrs. Lieb induced her TO sell property in
Troy, O., worth $4,000 or $12. 900, for 81, 900
cash and that they converted the money to
their own use, claiming 1t was turned over
to them for services performed. The claim
is made that Mrs. Lieb was feeble in mind
and body prior to her death and that undue
influence was brought to bear on her to
gain her consent to the sale of the property.
1t is claimed that Braun came on to Indian
apolis from his home in Pennsylvania to
negotiate the sale. The Union Trust Com
pany is suing as administrator of Mrs.
LiebS estate.
