st, Petersburg, Sept. 8.-The open
conflict between Premier Stolypin and
the reactiOnists at court, due to the
refusal of the premier to acquiesce in
the abandonment of the proposed re-
forms. Is reflected by the comment of
the reactionary newspapers on the pre-
mier's note of Sept. 5, which are now
openly demanding the retirement of
M. stolypin. ...
The Syet, whose court connections
are known, while approving the insti-

the trial Of political offenders as a
step in the right direction, does not
conceal its dissatisfaction at the prom

The paper adds:
m. Stolypin's declaration that no

the way of reaction is nonsense of the
rankest sort. Under such pilotage our
ship can never. weather the storm"

as did the revolutionary students of

Stickney of the Chicago Great West
orn differs radically from most high
railroad officials on most phases OF
the rate question, but he stands with
them in contending that there should
be no general reduction of rates.
II don't think railroad rates on the
average are too high in the United

needed is not horizontal reduction,
but equalization. The Pennsylvania
charges about the same per ton mile

Plymouth, Mass, Sept. 8.-A recent
address by former Secretary of the
Navy John D. Long, in which he dis

also several other speakers. Morton

Probably our rates are too low, while
the Pennsylvania's are too high. We
are making money at present rates,
but should the country become less
prosperous there is no certainty that

REcElvERsHlps DECREASING
Few New Cases Offset by Many Ended
by Foreclosure

The number Of railways in the hands
Of receivers continues to decrease, the
few that have been added to the list IN
recent years being more than offset by
the number Of receiverships that were
ended by foreclosure or by friendly re-
organization without sale.
In the first six months Of this year
the Railway Age points out. only five
short roads, with a total of 1S4 miles
Of lines. were placed In charge of the
courts while five roads, with 175 miles
were restored to their owners by sale,
and another, having thirty-four miles
completed, was found solvent and re-
turned to the original company.
No receivership has been established
this year as a result of financial diff
culties of recent origin, and no new in
solvencies are in sight or apprehended
at the present time; although for the
future everything depends on the rea-
sonable administration of the rate
making and taxing power by state and
national authorities.
"It would be easy to bankrupt all
railways by materially reducing their
income and increasing their taxes and
wage schedules" says an expert, but
this would be so Improbable to the
public that it scarcely can be contem-
plated"

Not Alarmed
Special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The Press has
discovered an amazing state of affairs
ir public school No. 9s, at Sheepshead
Bay. The school building is just south
Of the race track and on two sides its
windows command a fine view of the
races.
The pupils use these windows to such
an extent that the Press terms this
school IAN unofficial grand stand for the
race track"
The school yard is a realistic repro
duction of the betting ring, certain of
its teachers taking money from pupils
and putting it with their own to be
placed on race horses by boys attend
ing school,
Practically the whole school reeks
with the vulgar vernacular of the gam
bling inclosure. The school course was
conducted with extra promptness on
Suburban day so the children might
get out in time to see the great turf
event.
George o. Tappan, the principal, is
apparently not at all concerned over
these conditions. This earnest educa-
tor today remarked blandly that at
Sheepshead, where the very air was
permeeted with the racing spirit, the
people did not regard juvenile interest
in the sport as unfavorably as outsiders
doubtless would.
