The suspicion that Brooklyn schoolgirl killed
herself because she had been threatened with
punishment for using slang may may not
be well founded. 1t is unquestionable however,
that among school children, well else
where the of slang is far too prevalent.
There are some slang words which are not only
unobjectionable, but also decidedly useful, and
which may pTOhtably be incorporated into the
standard vocabulary Of the language. Not a
few Of our words which now enjoy unchalIenged
standing had their origin in slang. Unfortu-
nately, there are still more slang words and
phrases which serve no useful purpose. but
which simply vulgar and offensive, IL not
actually indecent or profane The discourage
ment and suppression Of these would be a
greater service to the language than the elimi-
nation Of a few superhuous letters IN orthog-
raphy, and would mean more for popular taste
and culture than many OF the "fads and frins'
which now cucumber the curriculum OF the

JOHN D. ISN'T
SCARED A BIT
THIS STATEMENT COMES
DIRECT
Family Physician Says Rockefeller
Plays Golf and Pays No Atten-
tior to Government Pro-
eeedings
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
CLEVELAND, July 29-Neither the
proceedings of the government nor the
state authorities against the Standard
Oil company are worrying John d.
Rockefeller in the slightest. He is not
giving them the least attention.
This was emphatic statement today
by DR.. H. f. Biggar, physician to and
travelling companion of Mr.. Rockefeller.
MIR. Rockefeller and wife will be at
Forest Hill this week, 1 am certain" p"
said DR.. Biggar They may come to-
morrow and it may be Wednesday,
"If 1t has been reported that Mr..
Rockefeller is disturbed over proceed
ings against the Standard Oil company
and the bringing in of his name in this
connection, quite the contrary is true.
John D. Isn't Worrying
Mr. Rockefeller has had a few weeks
rest. He has not been thinking about
Standard Oil company affair, and why
should he, since he has not been ac-
lively connected with the business of
the company for twelve years?"
Asked if Mr.. Rockefeller believed that
because he had been out of the active
life of the great corporation for years
this fact would render him immune
from any possible legal attack, Dr. Big
gar replied:
"That is a matter I know nothing
about Mr.. Rockefeller has never
talked on the subject so far as 1 know"
According to Mr.. Biggar Mr.. Rocke-
Teller was never in better health and
spirits than now HE enjoyed his
vacation trip to France immensely"
said DR.. Biggar.
He was out of doors most of the
time, engaging for the most part in
golfing and motoring. The only thing
troubling him is the condition of his
daughter, who is affected with heart
trouble. Her condition was much i'm
proved when we left France, but of
course heart disease is an uncertain
thing"

EARNINGS INCREASE LARGELY
Fifty-six Roads Show Gains of Twelve
Per Cent

Partial returns now indicate that in
the twelve months ended June 30 rail-
way earnings both gross and net, far
exceeded those of any previous year.
Based on reports from fifty-siX roads,
including most of tt principal lines,
one authority estimates the total gross
earnings at over 81, 32S, 100000, an in
crease of 1913 per cent above the pre-
vious year., and net earnings at over
$795, 900, COO an increase OF 15.4 per cent.
An approximate might be reached
also by an estimate taking into ac-
count the increased mileage operated.
The railway mileage in the United
States on June 30, 1905, according to
the interstate commerce commission,
was 214,447, and the gross earnings for
the year were $2,073, III 900, being at the
rate of $9666 per mile.
The mileage on June 90 last-if the
commissions figure for 1905 is correct
was not far from $4,000 miles.
Returns already in seem to indicate
that gross earnings will average at
least $4,000 per mile, which if sustained
would make the grand total of earnings
last year not far from $1,000, 900, ,000
For 1896 the earnings were SLIPS, ,000,-
900. To more than double that amount
in ten years, on an increase of only 20
per cent on mileage, would be wonder
full progress.

Railroad Notes

Officials cf the New York Central
lines have decided to establish a COM
missary department at Albany, N Y,
Independent of the New York depart
ment. The new building will be for
lines west of Buffalo, and an innova-
tion is planned for the benefit of the
commissary walters. who are to have
about forty rooms when off the road.
These rooms will be fitted up the same
as for a hotel.
A contract has been awarded by the
Chicago-& Northwestern to Kirkpatrick
Bros. & Collins of Omaha for the con-
sion from Bonesteel, s. D.. westward.
1t is to be completed and ready for
operation by September IS. The North
Western now is spending SS,0O0,OOO in
making all the lines on its Ashland
division low grade. so as to make pos
sible the speedy transportation of
freight over them.
On the graveyard tracks OF the Lake

of the oldest and best known engines
in the history of western railroads and

THEIR BUSINESS
Officials Accused of Furnishing Them
With Tickets In Order to Get
the Business From Conf
petltors
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
OMAHA, Neb., July 29.--Answering
nine suits in the federal court in which
the Union Pacific and other railroads
are seeking to restrain the ticket
brokers from further dealing in rail-
road transportation at reduced rates,
affidaVits have been filed by the brok-
ers charging the roads with them
selves conspiring with the defendants
in the business which they seek to en-
join.
1t is alleged the roads have not only
furnished the tickets to brokers' to sell
at reduced rates, but they have in
many instances assisted the brokers to
handle the tickets by furnishing them
railroad stamps and i'm other ways.
1t is further alleged the railroads
have been guilty of laches for a period
of thirty years and are therefore de-
prived of any injunction from dam
ages.
The afidaYits also set forth that the
tickets sought 10 be protected are the
fruits of an unlawful combination to
fix and maintain rates i'm the middle
and far western states.
