$4,000 CLEAR GAIN
EACH YEAR TO PENNSYLVANIA
ROAD.
What Forced Deposit of $40 on Mile
age Books Means-Governor
Hanly's Fight.

Indianapolis, Jan. 17.-Governor
Hanly's movement against the $40
rebate mileage book has attracted
much attention in commercial circles
and the business men of various COM
munities are beginning to be interest
ed in the effort to abolish the require
ment for a $40 deposit, which, in ad-
dition to the purchase price, now
goes with every 1,000-mile book. The
efforts of Governor Hanly are in line
with those that have been successful
in Michigan and New York where
there is a rate of 2 cents mile for
passenger travel. A bill is now pend
ing in the Ohio legislature providing
for the same rate.
Tt has been pointed out by various
Eastern papers recently that the rail-
roads are using annually $20,0o0,000
Of the peoples money for which they
do not give any return, and at per
cent "a year, this means clear gain
to the roads of 100000. The Penn
sylvania has big plum in this $40
rebate mileage book.
According to reliable statements of
railroad officials in Pittsburg, the
Pennsylvania in 1905 sold 100000
mileage books to passengers, at the
usual rate of $4,000 each, and de-
manded and obtained an additional
deposit of so for each book thus
sold. This makes $2,000,000 for
mileage books and 81 100000 of de-
post from the purchasers, which is
retained without interest by the rail-
road company.
This forced loan of $1,000,00C
which the railroad exacts from the
people that use its lines means di-
!, rect gain of $4,000 annually. Nc
other corporation could negotiate
such loan without paying interest
, Commercial men are now waking III
: to what they call the injustice of the
! system and are preparing to resis
/ claims that may be made upon then
/ lin the future.
/ Governor Hanly's recent action il
calling together members of the Cen
: trail Passenger association for discus
r sion of the mileage book evil haas at
J traeted the attention of railroad ant
commercial men all over the country

GAVE DANCE TO GET
MONEY FOR CHURCH
Tainted Cry Was Then Raised by
the Pastor Out of Trouble

Washington, N. j., Jan. 17.-When
the Pleasant Grove Presbyterian
church, up on Anthony mountain,
needed money, month ago, Mrs. SUI
san Apgan, widow, who is leading
worker in the church, hit upon
scheme to raise it. Her scheme was
to hold dance. She sent out invi-
tations and opened her hospitable
farmhouse for the event. 1t was a
success, and after paying off the fid-
dler there was $40 net to be applied
to the needs of the church.
Pastor j. w. Lowden, however,
would not accept the money when
she turned it in, declaring it was
tainted" and he was supported by
most of the trustees of the church.
An unusual amount of discussion has
followed ever since, and it was only
within the last few days that the
question was disposed of. s-r
Then a compromise was affected
| Both sides reached a conclusion that
there could be no harm if the money
was applied to repairing the church
sheds. Mrs. Apgar has turned over
the money and it will be used for this
purpose.

Headache Cured.

Mrs. Ryan, wife of Lee Ryan, liv-
eryman on South Tenth street, says:
"For,, years I had suffered with Sc
we're headaches almost constantly. /
was told by several specialists that
my eyes were the cause of it, so that
I finally consented to the wearing of
glasses which would help me for
only a short period, when the head
aches would return again. I was
told that nothing more could be
done for me unless I submitted to
having drops put in my eyes to sus-
pesd the accommodation. I was
fearful of the effect, as / knew of
others whose eyes had been perma-
nently weakened from the effects of
mydriatic I consulted Mr.. and
Mrs. Lingerfeld and Miss Swe1tzer,
as I noticed in their advertisement
that they corrected all latent trou-
bles without the use of mydriatic.
I am very much pleased with the re.
suits, as it is now nearly one year
since they fitted me with glasses
and my head has not ached since /
have worn them. am grateful, too,
to have found some one who was able
to correct my trouble without the
use of drops.''

LUMBER JUMPS
: INTO The SKIES
"A )
THE PRICE OF BUILDING MATE
RIAL rs EXCESSIVELY
HIGH NOW.

STIMULATE BUILDING
Is the Prediction of Real Estate Men
Who Say Builders Fear Another
Advance-Bricks Remain Same.

The prices of building materials
are floating now with the clouds and
according to local dealers, the pros
pect is that everything will remain
sky-high until next fall. There is
considerable building planned in this
city for the coming spring and the
outlook for the builders is far from
encouraging, but the real estate men
predict that the high price of mate
rails will only stimulate building as
every one will wish to put up the
houses they have planned for, be-
cause of the general fear that prices
will soar again. The real estate
men say that this rule works the OPP
posite way when prices are low, the
builders holding off in the hope that
the market will drop still lower.
AT the present time yellow pine is
selling at $40 per thousand. Only
recently yellow pine sold at So. Lum-
Der men from all over the country are
now in session at Memphis, Tenn,
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of in
creasing the price of poplar timber
Lumber men of this city are of the
opinion that it will advance from So
to So a thousand. There has been
an advance of So on all grades of yell
low pine, with prospect of the price
again going up.
G. II. Dilks, lumber buyer of the
Gaar, Scott & Co., stated yesterday
that the reason of the prevailing
high price in timber of all kinds was
due generally to the heavy rains in
the south west and the dry weather
in West Virginia, Virginia and other
states in the southeast.
Last spring the streams were so
low in the latter section Of the
country, that scarcely any logs were
foated and the same conditions are
existing now. The lumber is there,
but there is no way of transporting
it to the markets.
In Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas
and other states in the southwest,
there has been an exceptionally heavy
rain fall and not more than one
fourth of the mills are at work. This
makes a scarcity Of timber in that
part of the country.
The price Of bricks still remains
the same in Richmond, $3.50 per
thousand, but indications point to a
speedy rise n this kind Of building
material, and the wise builder is
now laying in a supply of this article
at the prevailing price, in anticipa-
ton of it "moving up another
story"

LIVES IN PERIL
WHEN BIC WATER
MAIN BURSTS

New York. oct. 31.-Thousands Of dol
lars worth of property was damaged and
many lives were endangered early today
when a 36-inch water main burst in 9Sth
street. near Broadway and Amsterdam
avenue. For more than three hours a
graf food OF water from the broken main
poured through the neighboring streets,
filling Easements and washing out curb
ings.
The persons who narrowly escaped with
their lives were the occupants OF base
ments and lower apartments In the
streets which temporarily were converted
into rivers Many or these were awak-
ened by water pouring into their sleep
ing rooms and Ia several instances the
only avenues Of escape LETT them were
rear windows.
Furniture and property stored In the
lower parts OF the flooded houses was
practically ruined. That the damage was
not much greater was due to the fact that
the place where the break occurred Is on
elevated ground and the food found a
natural outlet down esth street TO the
Hudson river.
When the broken main had been shut
OF and the food had subsidized IL was
found that a hole 50 feet long. 30 feet wide
and II feet deep had been torn in eSth
street az the point where the main burst.
