DUE TO BOOKKEEPING.
Why the Railroads Show Increase in
Operating Expenses.

New York, Oct. 3--The statement of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
road company for August shows an in
crease of $727,452 in gross earnings,
while the net earnings were $53s, $50 less
than iE August, 1905. Operating ex-
penses increased $1,265. .s42, or s53s. $50
more than the increase IN gross income
The great increase in the cost of op-
Grafton is said to be due to the change
in methods of bookkeeping required by
the interstate commission According g
to the new methods railroads are now
required to charge, as operating ex-
penses many items that heretofore
have gone into capital accounts.
For July OF this year the gross earrI-
ings of the Santa F'e road were $1.270. 900
larger than for August last year willie
the net earnings increased only $116 coo.
In the two months this year operating
expenses were 68.s per cent of gross
earnings, as compared with Gil per cent
a year ago.
Nearly every railroad in the country
is showing the effects of the new re-
1uirements of accounting in a greater
percentage of operating expenses than
heretofore

Managers of the Illinois Central
Decided to Give Aid
To the Plan for a Lakes to the
Gulf Channel.
THEY ARENOT AFRAID
Harahan Will Go to Memphis
and Make a Speech.
Says Whatever Develops the
Country Helps Railroads.

Chicago, Oct 3.-The management
| of the Illinois Central railway has de-
cfded to throw its influence in favor Of
deep waterway from the great lakes
to the gulf. This became apparent
when j. T. Harahan, president of the
road, stated that he would go to the
deep waterway convention to be held
in Memphis on Friday of this week and
would there give an address strongly
favoring the project.
In the past, general opinion among
railway arrangements has been that
waterways injure the railroads by
keeping freight rates down. The at
titude of the Illinois Central manage
ment with respect to the present deep
waterway project is that it will de-
Velop the south rapidly, and in the de-
Veiopment of the south increased tom
trail and the Yazoo and Mississippi val
ley lines.
Unless something Unforeseen inter-
venes, said Mr.. Harahan, Il shall at
tend the deep waterway convention and
shall deliver a speech in favor of the
project, telling why 1 think it will be
an advantage from a railroad stand
point. The railroads of this country
have nothing to fear from waterways,
but everything to hope. 1t is a mis-
taken idea that the Illinois Central
railroad would be injured by a navfga-
BILE waterway from the great lakes to
the gun despite the tact that We paral-
lei the Mississippi river for nearly 700
miles.
THE railroads have been utterly
unable to handle the tremendous
traffic which has been offered them
during the past few years. In my
judgment they will be unable to
handle all the traffic for many years
to come, SO that no matter how many
waterways there may be the railroads
viii not be hurt by reason of tonnage
taken from them. In general it may
be said without fear of successful con-
travention that whatever tends to de-
velop a country or section of a
country increases the value of a rail-
road project"

Her Body Is in the Morgue Awaiting
Claimant.

New York, Oct. 3.-The body of an
old woman who was called the Ouch
ess of Brackenburg and always insist
er that she rightfully possessed the tt
tie is in the morgue and unless some
one claims it, it will be taken to the
potters field The duchess was found
dead in squalid apartment in an old
section of New York, known as Green
wich village. She died from heart
disease.
The woman used to explain that she
came to this country from Germany
years ago with her husband. They
were to travel, but they did not leave
New York because her husband lost
large sums gambling. When he had
lost all their means he committed sui
eide and she pawned her jewels to de-
fray his funeral expenses Then she
cabled to Germany to friends to help
her but none ever answered her.
Where she obtained the little money
she always seemed to have, her neigh
bors do not know. She lived on bread
and peanuts. SO far as they could
gather Her clothes bore the appear
ance of long wear. No letters or pa
pers of any kind have been found by
the coroner to establish her identity
or to corroborate her account of her
self

MAKING FIGURES.
Railroads Are Preparing Statistics on
the Two Cent Rate.

Chicago. Oct. 3--Railroads with
lines in Illinois and the neighboring
states are engaged in the preparation
of statistics in regard to the summer
business, with which they expect to
assail the 2-cent rate laws in all the
states where such acts were passed by
the legislatures last winter. In cases
such as in Missouri they will go into
the courts and demand the restoration
of the old rates on the plea that the
law is confscatory and therefore un-
constitutional In other states they
expect to influence legislation by an
appeal to the people, who have been
deprived of their excursions this sum-
mer.
]. NJ Johnson. vice president of the
Missouri Pacific, said today that facts
are now being tabulated by that road
showing the decrease in business up
to October L. The figures will not be
ready until the last of the month and
the road will not be ready to go into
court until late in the fall.
Alton officials expect to show that
the average rate a passenger mile is
1.9 as compared with 2.02 last year
and 205 in 1906.

D. X. Ragsdale Investigates Death of
Son Who Died June 4.

A controversy over the death OF
| George Ragsdale of 202 Davies street
| who died at Keitll's hospital June l.
| is stirring up the Ragsdale family,
and bitter feeling between the widow
or the deceased and his parents has
brought on a condition which may re-
suit in a charge of murder against the
widow.
George Ragsdale, a Santa Fe en-
ploye, died suddenly He was taken
sick while at work, was removed to
the Santa Fe hospital. and later to
Keith's hospital, where he died
After the death of Ragsdale, his
parents asked Coroner Keith to make
an examination. This request was
not made until after the body had
been prepared for burial by an un-
dertaker. Drs. Keith and Peairs re-
moved the stomach of the deceased.
They could find nothing wrong with the
stomach except a small puncture
which might have been made by an
der Ragsdale is still unconvinced that
his daughter-in-law did not poison his
son.
Ragsdale carried $4,000 insurance
in the Modern Woodmen fraternal
order.
Mrs. Ragsdale says that all her
trouble with the relatives of her hus-
band grew out of the fact that she
would not permit them to interiors
with her family affairs.
J. R. Ragsdale, father of George
Ragsdale, made the following state
ment this morning:
MY son died nnder circumstances
which were suspicious. and ror that
reason 1 secretly ordered a part of his
stomach removed before burial This
was preserved by DR.. Keith, subject to
my orders. DR.. Keith did NOT make a
chemical analysis. and told me that I
might have an analysis made at the
state university. / have not zone this,
but may do so.

Fe hospital, and later to Keith's hos
pital, where he died eight days after his
first attack The physicians were of the
opinion that he died of tumor in the
stomach.
THE property, a cottage and six lots,
at 202 Davies street. was owned jointly
by my son and myself. After the death
of my son. my wife became suspicious
of Georges wife. and refused to stay
there Things did look suspicious to me,
but 1 gave the woman the benefit of all
doubts On consideration that / was to
have a home there for the rest of my
life, decided my part of the property to
her. AS soon as she got in possession
she threw me out on the grounds that
fnterfered with her methods of cor
recting the children. This was false,
for although she treated the three chill
dren in an inhuman manner, 1 did not
interfere.
while still living at her house, my
suspicious were strengthened by her
manner. She affixed of weight hang
ing over her and stated that she had
burned some deadly poison which was
in the house because, she feared some
OF my daughters might find 1T. This.

the day before my son WIS taken Ill
that he would not live a week. have
convinced me that the matter should
be probed. Doctors tell me that an
analysis would do little good. as the
body was embalmed before the stom-
ach was removed, and that embalming
fluids contain some kinds of poison
