HARVARD TAKES THE LEAD
Will Try to Raise the Money TO Garry
Out the Editor Stead Peace Pill.
grimage Plan.

Cambridge, Mass, April 23.-In spite
of the refusal CO the presiding officer,
Professor Hugo Munsterburg, to put
the motion a mass meeting Of Har
ward students in the Union Endorsed
William T. Stead's plan of sending q
peace delegation from this country to
Europe, and furthered Stead's request
that Harvard should take the lead in
raising money for the movement by
the appointment of college commit
tee to consider the matter.
Professor Munsterburg said that the
meeting which Stead had just ad
dressed was a chance gathering and
not representative one, as far as Har
ward was concerned. and he added that
he would leave the chair before he
would put such a motion. When he
stepped from the platform Professor
William James took his place and the
plan was quickly adopted and the com
mittee appointed.

wholesome.

New Orleans, April 23.-Announce
ment is made that nine negro inmates
of the parish jail will be used by the
state board of health in a five weeks
test to learn whether sugar molasses,
as it has been manufactured in Louis
lana for many years, IS injurious TO
human health.
Sulphuric acid is used in the Louis
lana process, and the use of this chem
ical was recently stopped under an in
depreciation of the pure food law. The
experiment consists in feeding the ne
groes plenty Of molasses and making
blood tests. President Iron, of the
state board, said that no possible harm
could come to the negroes.

PRESIDENT FINLEY's REMARKS
Railway Income Will Not Suffice for
Betterments and Extensions.


Memphis, Tenn, April %. = ". w.
Finley, president of the Southern Rail
way company, made a notable address
at a banquet given in honor of himself
and other prominent railroad men at
the Hotel Gayoso by John II. Watkins,
the newly elected president of the
Memphis Railroad Terminal associa-
ton. Watkins invited 100 representa-
tive business men TO meet his guests.
After plea for fair treatment OF
the railways Finley pointed out the
utter inadequacy of railway income to
provide funds for betterments and
extensions, showing that If every dol
lar Of the net income of the Southern
railway from its organization had been
used for this purpose it would have
amounted to only about $4,000
per mile, whereas the road has actual
~ spent, or contracted to spend, for
capitalized betterments and improve
ments more than $96OO0,OOO. or within
fraction of $14,OOO per mile on its
present mileage.
He showed that adequate funds
could be OBTAINED only by borrowing,
and that every attack on the earning
power of a railway through legisla-
ton reducing arbitrarily its charges or
imposing onerous and restrictive con-
ditiOns on its operation is an attack on
its ability to maintain and improve its
service and reacts on those it is intend
ed to benefit
Referring to the proposition to re,
duce passenger fares in the southern
states as an illustration of the charac-
ter Of legislation that cripples the abili-
~ Of a railway to perform service and
improve its facilities Finley pointed
out that passenger rates that might be
profitable in states with dense popu-
lation and heavy passenger traffic, like
Massachusetts,, New York. or Ohio,
would be impossible in states ike Ten
nessee and Mississippi.

st. Paul. April 23.-Railroad proper
" in Minnesota is valued at $215,000,

committee, which has made its report
to the Minnesota state senate. This
is approximately $4,000 a mile. The
property is capitalized to the extent OF
about $4O0,OOO,OOO, or $4,000 a mile,
on an average. The net earnings, ac-
cording to the committees findings,
averaged over $1,000 a mile last year,
or Is per cent. on the committees val

Would Do Some More Probing.
The committee, which consists OF
Senators Sundberg, eastman, Cane
storp Nelson and Sageng, recommends
that a committee or commission Of
three be empowered to investigate gen.
orally into the capitalization of the
railroads of Minnesota and the rela-
ton the stocks and bonds bear to the
value thereof, and the enactment Of
such appropriate legislation as the con-
ditions disclosed demand" The text
of the report was prepared by James
Manahan.
How the Committee Figured.
The report says that to arrive at
the cost of reproducing and equippinS
