PRussrAN RAILROADS.

Compared With American Lines, But
 No Figures are Given.
 Berlin. Dec. i.--An ofaciai memor- andum of the Prussian ministry of railroads showing the growth of the State e-owned system since 1878 conn- paree the rates and management with. those of private owned line in foreign countries. No figures are given con- corning the United States lines, but this generalization is made:
 .Tt is true that in the United States rates are generally lower especially on through freight and bulk goods than with us Local charges are high. unequal and nuctuate and are so class flied that shippers often are unable to determine in advance what the rate will be. Reductions and increases of' ten follow eacn other in rapid suces- sion This is a condition which IS justly condemned by industrial and shipping people. The great number of fnsolvencies and foreclosure sales of American railroads which recur yearly down to the latest date must not be fogotten in comparing the Ger man with American railroads.

 DENIED BY RICHARDSON.
Will Not Introduce Bill for an Addi-
 tiOnnl Judge.

Washington, Dec, 1.-(Special. J. Representative Richardson of Alabama a story in a local newspaper has had 1t. intended to introduce a bill provid- ing for the division of Alabama into three Federal judicial divisions, with three judges. Alabama already has three districts with two judges, one judge presiding for the Northern and Middle Districts. and one for the Southern District.
 The meat of the story was the state ment that the creation of the three judgeships would provide a place for Oscar R. Hundley. a prominent Re- publican lawyer of Huntsville, who has long had aspirations for place on the Federal bench and was a candi- date for a place when Judge David D. Shelby also of Huntsville, was ap- pointed Judge of the Fifth Circuit.
 Congressman Richardson said today the story that he was to introduce g. bill to make place for an additional judge was absurd. that he never had any such idea, and that If such a bill were introduced he would oppose 1t.
