Railroads Watching Each Other.

1a''roaos watching Each Other.
Officials Of the eastern railroads are
watching each other like hawks. Ever
since the first Of the year, when the
anti.pass agreement went into effect
the railroad men have been watching
for a possible violation Of the agree.
ment by their competitors, as there
never has been any confidence in the
agreements stability.
Anti-pass agreements have been
made before between the railroads at
the beginning Of other years, and
they have lasted for periods varying
from ten days to three months, being
broken at first surreptiously, until be.
fore long all the roads again were
granting free transportation. Already
this year, It is said, there are signs of
the disintegration of the agreement,
and these same officers are only wait.
ing until they get proof before making
the latter public.
Indications point to the stronger
roads as the violators in this case.
and an official Of one Of the smaller
lines has declared that he Is convinced
that certain favored shippers are re-
ceiving transportation over one road
on which free transportation is not &C.
cepted usually.
The same official also said that he
had reason to believe that the Balti.
more & Ohio and the Reading roads
are not complying with the agreement
and that he soon expects to have in
disputable evidence or the fact. One
way that the railroads are getting
around that provision OF the agree
ment which prohibits the giving Of
complimentary ANIMALS Is by issuing
quarterly passes and other forms Of
transportation, good only within
stated periods.
The railroad officials are trying In
every way to find out what their COM
petitors are doing in this matter. It Is
predicted by the men posted on the
situation that the demise of the agree
ment Of 1906 may be expected within
the next few weeks.

they choose, construct their own boxes or

in so doing they conform to the require
ments of the department as to size, dura-
biity, safety and protection from in
clemency of the weather.
In order to maintain the essential prin-
ciple that all boxes established on rural
routes must be brought under the pro-

provides penalties for any one molesting

vides that individuals who desire to make

box is to be constructed. or the box itself,
to the postmaster of any first or second

BANKER KILLED BY CAR.
John E. Losee of Brooklyn Run Down
Near Home

Struck by a swiftly moving trolley car,
filled with passengers. John 4. Losee, a
teller in the Brooklyn On. " Savings Bank,
met instant death last night In that city.
His body was crushed almost beyond rec
ognition. and was identified by watch and
some cards which lay beside ii. Several of
the passengers made threats afainst the
seen Mr.. Losee. but they were quieted by
policemen who placed the motorman under
arrest.
Mr.. Losee was forty-two years Old was
we'll known in banking circles in Brooklyn
and lived with his wife and two children In
costly home at Bay 31st street and Ben
son avenue. He had a summer home Ce-
dar Crest in Southampton, l.. T., and his
family had been there for several weeks
For many years he had been connected
with the Brooklyn Savings Bank, and had
risen to one of the most responsible places
in the institution,
The car which struck Mr.. Losee was on
it's way to Coney Island. 1t was moving at
a rapid rate when 1t struck him. No one
saw him as he stepped upon the tracks
and no one so far the police could learn
saw him he approached the tracks
Screams from the passengers and jolting
of the car told the motorman that there had
been an accident.
There was much excitement among the
passengers when they learned that a man
had been killed. and the motorman. antici-
pating a demonstration against him, ex-
citedly explained that he had seen no one
and that he was not to blame for the acct
dent.

IMPORTS OF ASBESTOS.
Most of It Brought Here Comes From
Canada.

The Importation of asbestos into the
United States increased In 1905. 1t amount
ed in value to 1916, 479, compared with
$751 1862 in 1901, says the United States ge-
illogical survey, IN report on the produc-
ton of asbestos In 1905.
Most of the asbestos imported into this
country Is produced in Canada. The United
States market takes approximately two
thirds of the Canadian product. In the past
decade the production in Canada has shown
an almost constant increase from a tom
mage of 1880 in 1896 to 30, $40 in 1905, with
values of $429. $50 and 81. 4S6,359. The out
put of asbestos in the United States from
This exceeds the production of any previous
year, both in tonnage and value, and rep
resents an increase of more than 100 per
cent in quantity and of almost 81 per cent
in value over the 1903 output. Georgia,
Virginia and Massa chusetts contributed
2,905 tons, valued at s3S,360, to this total,
and the remaining ia tons, with a value
of 81 .615, came from California, Michigan,
Wyoming and Arizona. The total produc-
ton of fourspar in 1905, as reported by the
geological survey, was 57,3S5 short TONS
valued at $500, 4SS most of which came
from the mines in Illinois and Kentucky
This Is an increase of 20933 short tons in
quantity and of S12T,T33 in value, as COM
pared with 36,452 short tons valued at
$234 755 in 1904.

Planning New Destroyers.

The construction bureau OF the Navy De-

for three torpedo boat destroyers which
were provided for in the last naval appro-

five years experience in this type OF vessel.
