TIE LATE AGREEMENT
As TO The ALTON
A Showing That Its Abrogstion Was
Not Due to a Suspicion of Its Legality.

New York. June ia director Of
the Union Pacific speaking Of the alb
rogation OF the Chicago and Alton
agreement today. said: a suggestion
in today's papers that there is to be
contest for the control by the Alton
is absurd. a clear majority Of the AL
ton stock is now owned by Rock ISL
and interests and has been owned by
those interests for nearly three years.
'"The right Of the Union Pacific to
own stock in the Chicago and Alton is
not open to question. since the lines in
no wise are parallel or competing
Union Pacific could lawfully hold all
the stock, but the Rock Island owns a
line between Chicago and Kansas city
parallel with the line Of the Chicago
and Alton, and IL there were any doubt
about the agreement being legal. it is
due entirely to the competitive interest
of the Rock Island. In stead of being
restrictive. the effect Of the agreement
WAS obviously intended to be. and alb
solutely has been the contrary"

The new BOOKKEEPING
FOR The RAILROADS
The Interstate Commerce Commission
Promulgates the System to be UseC
After July I.

Washington. June 15.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission today
promulgated "A uniform system of ac-
counts for railroads provided for under
the railroad rate law passed at the
last session of congress. The system
will go into effect on July l, covering
operating revenues, operating expen-
ses. and thereafter the railroads win
be compelled to file monthly reports.
The method adopted is intended to
secure a correct system Of net rev
enues and is expected to result in
keeping the cost of improvements out
of the operating expenses and there
sore excluding them from the cost Of
performing current business. The eX-
pense Of soliciting traffic Is separate

that il would be better tactics to re-
frain from doing so.
