OF
|. v. INCREASE
Gross Figures This Year Larger
by 81 1900, 600 than Those
of the Year 1905.

Despite the heavy losses in. freight
traffic resulting from the labor trou-
bles at the anthracite mines last
April and May, the annual report of
the Lehigh Valley railroad shows an
increase in gross earnings over 1905
of $1,514,013. The total gross earn
ings were $3~2,7S9,S56. Total oper-
ating expenses were $20,152,21O, an
increase of $~1,222,509, and the net
earnings amounted to S12,637,645, a
gain of $291.504. Total net income
is reported at s5,77O,072.
An interesting feature of the re-
port is that merchandise freight earn
ings increased over coal freight. In
1905 the coal freight contributed
43. rs per cent. of the total earnings,
and other freight contributed 1915
per cent. For the year just ended,
however, the coal freight amounted
to but 40.40 per cent. of the total
earnings, while the other freight
amounted to 42.50. This discrepancy
Is partly accounted for, of course, by
the strike, although the tendency in
the direction indicated is unmistaka-
Bile, being particularly evident in the
fact that gross earnings from mer-
chant traffic were $13, 934,127, an in
crease of $1,501,544 over the pre-
vious year.
An increase of $19, 1000, 900 is shown
in the funded debt of the company,
due to the issuance of that amount of
collateral trust bonds to cover the
purchase of the coal mining property
of Coke Brothers & Co., and the Del
aware, Susquehanna & %Schuylkill
Railroad Company. An additional is
sue of $4,000, 900 of the company's
general consolidated mortgage bonds
is also shown. Half of them went to
take up old issues, the balance re-
naming in the company's treasury.

AT
WORK AGAIN.

A tenement house inspector ar.
rived here this morning and said, in
conversation with a NEWS reporter,
today, that he would be at work here
for about a week, making inspections
of a number of houses that have been
reported by the Board of Health.
The inspector says the conditions
in this city are ~frightful, not only
among the tenement houses, but also
in connection with a number of other
classes of structures. "A code is
needed here, also a building depart
ment," said the officer, land | under
stand that there is no local inspector
at all.

ATLANTIC CITY
BY ELECTRIC.

ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. 20:-Res-
idents by the score made the trip
over the West Jerseys electric rail
road, which was opened Tuesday.
The trains, made up of three coaches
each, were all late, running from ten
to twelve minutes behind the SEIZED
ule of ninety minutes fixed by the
management.
1t did not affect the regular travel
on the steam lines. No accidents
were reported. Railroad officials eX-
pressed themselves as well pleased
with the traffic. Colonel Thomas
Potter, Jr.. of Philadelphia, a cot
tager, bought the first ticket over the
line and will keep it as a souvenir.
He paid a second fare to make the
journey.
The first train arriving here had
for its crew Samuel Y. Allen, motor
man; d. J. DUNCAN, conductor, and
A. j. WINS, brakeman. The first
train out of here was manned by S.
M. Morton, motorman; w. r. Adams,
brakeman. The mail service was
the electric line.
The only disappointment here is
the fare, as the public, so far as it
has expressed its views, concluded
that a dollar for the round trip would
have been better for the interests of
the line and the resort.
CAMDEN, Sept. 20:-The first
electric train which left here over the
West Jersey and Seashore Railroad
for Atlantic City Tuesday was Justify
cheered by a big crowd of the cur
ious. The train left at Z o'clock and
there we're about 100 passengers
aboard. The first train up from the
shore arrived at $3.50 o'clock. Just
twenty-one passengers alighted.

DR.. Doremus Scudder, who returned
Friday from the Coast, has been on
a lecturing tour for the benefit of the
American Missionary Association. The
association is one of the old mission
airy organizations of the United States
having been founded over thirty years
ago for work among the Indians and
negroes and differs from the Home
Missionary Society only in that it has
nothing to do with work in the Unit
ed States among the whites, while the
latter organization confines itself to
that race.
Originally, like the American Board
of Foreign Missions, it was an inter
denominational affair, but later the
other churches organized their own in
stitutions and withdrew their support
from the parent organization, leaving
it largely, though not wholly, depend
ent upon the gifts of Congregati
lists. The latter have charge of GER
tain work in Hawaii since the islands
ceased to be a foreign field 1t was on
this account, they having work among
the japanese and other Orientals here,
that, being short of funds. they re-
quested DR.. Scudder to come over and
help them raise money.

MISSIONARY CAMPAIGN OF
REV. DR.. DOREMUS SCUDDER

irving in San Francisco, October 2, he
found a very strenuous campaign map
ped out for him. The first seventy
seven days he was on the mainland he
made seventy-eight addresses on their
behalf, speaking in the Chicago dis
trict for one week. for two weeks in
Massachusetts, for two more in New
York and Connecticut, running down
to New Jersey. Philadelphia and Wash
ington and also speaking two weeks
in Ohio. Later he went to Chicago
district again and thence to Colorado
Springs and Denver to speak. He did
not speak on the Pacific coast as he
spoke there last year.
While on the Coast he met a Rev.
Mr.. H. Kozaki. one of the leading Con-
gregationa1 ministers of Japan. This
gentleman resides in Toxic and among
his parishioners and members is the
wife of the Japanese Minister of For
eign Affairs. Baron Katzuma SO deep
ly interested has the Baron become in
the association work that he raised the
money to send Mr.. Kozaki to Amer
lea, contributing 500 toward the fund
himself. This work covers all the
Pacific coast from Vancouver to San
Diego and includes both japanese and
Chinese. Mr.. Kozaki was engaged to
make addresses to various churches on
the Coast in the furtherance OF the OBJ
jects of the association.

The Republican Territorial Contra
Committee devoted last evening to 6
consideration of the proposed amend
ments to the rules and regulations Of
the party. One section was discussed
in detail, this being the one relating
to the basis of representation in con
vention. The original rules called fol
such representation on the basis of one
delegate for every twenty-five mem
bers, based on the highest vote in each
district for a representative.
The committee on revision reported
in favor of fifteen instead of twenty
five. Another amendment was to
change to the vote of a senator instead
of a representative. The Central Com
mittee last night tied in the vote to
change to senator, and owing to a lack
Of a. two-thirds vote to change the
representation to Is, the section went
over to the next meeting.
Then a section was proposed where
in the presence of a delegate at any
convention is tantamount to a pledge
to abide by the decision of the con-
Vention and to support the candidates
nominated. Otherwise, his seat and
place will be declared forfeited and
will be filled according to the rules
covering vacancies.
John Hughes said this was a covert
attack on the Civic Federation, of
which he was member.
Other members said the matter had
no more reference to the Civic FEEDER
alton than it did to the Democrats or
the Home Rulers. 1t was simply desig-
mated to protect the party from trait
ors," or, as one member said: IF such
a rule was not adopted the Central
Committee could be directed by Demo-
Gratis or persons of any party
John Lane said that without such
rule the party would be in the fix of
Russia during the recent war with ia
pan. Every general was fighting
against every other general or admiral
and the ministers were opposed to each
other, the result being that little ia
pan came in and whipped Russia to a
standstill
Finally w. w. Harris arose and said
he could see no objection to the pro-
posed rule such as Mr.. Hughes put
forth. eff man goes to a Republican
convention and does not abide by the
decision of the convention, and then
goes to meetings of the Central Com
mittee and openly opposes any candi-
date, he has no business whatever
on that committee. If such man has
not sense enough to get off the COM
mittee he should be put off,
This statement was greeted with ap-
plause.
The amendment was then voted on
and carried, only Mr.. Hughes dissent
ing.
"A gentleman intimated to me a few
days ago that I had no business on
this committee anyway and I believe
I haven't now" said Mr.. Hughes in
closing the controversy.
His fellow-members laughed at this
sally and the meeting adjourned. The
entire report is to be acted on finally
at the next meeting.
e. A. Fraser, member of the COM
mittee from West Hawaii, resigned
owing to his departing from the is
lands to reside elsewhere.
