Railroads Must Make Reports.

Washington.-The Interstate Com
merce Commission las promulgated
uniform system of accounts for rail
roads, provided for under the railroad
rate law passed at the last session oil
Congress. The system will go into ef-
feet July list. covering operating eX-
penses and thereafter railroads will
be compelled to file monthly reports.
The method adopted is intended to in
sure a correct statement of net rev.
enues from operations. and is en-
pected to result in keeping the cost
of improvements out of operating eX-
penseS and therefore exclude them
from the cost of performing current
business. The expense of soliciting
traffic is separated from the expense
of hauling traffic. The construction
accounts are to be so drawn that cur
rent record of the physical value of
the railway property is always acces-
sible.
The system was prepared by Henry
C. Adams statistician for the commits

Four of the accounts are issued un-
der formal order of the commission

operating expenses, expenditures for
road and equipment, and locomotive
car and train miles. Two of the clas-
sifications which bear upon operations
are issued in the form of circulars of
information. namely, betterments and
additions and outside operations.
All classifications have been worked
out with the assistance of railway ac-
counting officers. Every carrier has
been notified from time to time of TIE
progress of the work, and no question
has been decided without first request
ing of every carrier its views and
opinions. This has been done by a
series of CIRCULARS and thousands of
letters have been received in response.
Assistance has beer rendered by com
mittees representing the American
Railway Association, which is the

and the Freight Claim Association.

THE NEW MINISTER'S
THREE NEW METHODIsT PREACH
 FRS COMING.
Rev. I. W. Chaiker Has Already Left For His New Charge-Mr.
 Curtis Will Succeed

Ministers who were assigned to Montgomery by the late Conference of Alabama Methodists at Enterprise have not yet arrived in the city to take active charge of the work. It Is probably however, that all of the new ministers will be in Montgomery In time for the Christmas services.
 There were three changes made in the churches of the city by the confer ence. Rev. P. M. Gutherie of Phoenix City will take charge of the West End Methodist Church in place of Rev. J. w. Reinhardt. Rev. D. H. McNeal of Citronelle will have charge of the Clayton street church in the place of Rev. J. W Holloway, and Rev. W. M. Curtis of Montana. formerly of Ala bama. will have charge of the Perry Street church in the place of Rev. I. W. Chalker.,
 Mir. Chalker has already left Monti gomery for his new charge at Abbet Vile. He has not as yet moved his family and household goods, but will do so at very early date. MT. Reins hardt and MT. Holloway have not yet left the city. but will remain a couple of weeks longer.
 For the new ministers who come to Montgomery for the first time the Methodists of the city wish the great est success. and to the ones who are leaving after their pleasant year in Montgomery. their congregations wish them continued success with their new charges.

Father Lee Preached Interesting Ser-
 mon Last Night.
 Father Lee preached an unusually impressive sermon at St. Peters last night. He said, in part:
 Tn the sixth chapter of the Gospel according to St. John we read of the promise made by Christ He had been preaching to the multitudes who had followed Him and had multiplied the five ioaves and the two fishes to such an extent as to supply the needs of five thousand. They understood Him literaiIys for they said. How can. this man give us HIS flesh. When Christ saw that His words were taken up in Q sense He did not want, He corrected the impression. Not so here, He even went forth and then when he saw them leaving Him said will you also go away" to the disciples. At the last supper He took bread and blessed and broke it and said This is My body" and so for the chalice "This is My Blood of the new Testament which shall be shed for many"
 Now in the succeeding generations how was this &ct understood? There was no question that He had the power for He was God, and that He was understood in the literal sense. no less than sixty three of the Fathers and other great writers of the ancient church from the first to the sixth cen tury have affected.
 No exercises tomorrow night Sun day at the mass the subject of the ser- mon will be Loyalty to Jesus"
