More People than Those OF Any
Other Country.
Berlin, July 25.-Herr Cutlery, an
official of the Prussian railway admin
istration, has prepared a comparative
table OF statistics OF those killed and
injured by railways in various coun-
tries. He finds that both absolutely
and relatively the railroads in the
United States are the most deadly.
The United States Mas more mileage
than all Europe, but even taking that
into consideration, the United States
holds pre-eminence in proportional
figures.
Out of every 1000 railway en-
ployes the ratio of the number injured
each year is as follows:
United States 43.5, Switzerland 25.3,
England 11.S, Belgium II, Germany
"a.
Out of every 10000 employees the
relative figures of killed are: United
States 26.1, England 12.3, Switzerland
81 Russia rs, British India 81, Bel
GUM Al.
Herr Cutlery finds that in a single
year--the fiscal year of 1923, 76,50O
persons were injured in the United
States, of whom $4,000 were EN-.
ployes, and $500 we're killed, of whom
$500 were employees.
In the matter of travellers injured
France holds the lowest record in the
world United States shows proper
tionately 40 times as many injured as
Russia, 22 times as many as Italy, 20
times as many as England, eight times
as many as Belgium, four times as
many as Switzerland and twice as
/ many as Germany.

Government OHccrs Have Been Unable To Serve Subpoena, But the Search Has Not Been
 Abandoned.

Cleveland. Ohio. July 2.-Forest Hill. the suburban home of J. D. Rockefei- Ter. was beseiged by United States Marshal Frank M. Chandler and a corps of deputies representing the de- partment of justice from early this morning to way after nightfall today . Up to that hour, the efforts of Fed eral officials to serve the subpoena is- sued from Judge Landis's court in Chi cago on MT. Rockefeller. had been un- successful and Marshal Chandler and his deputies will tomorrow continue picketing the Rockefeller estate.
 Access to the lodge was denied deputy marshall at o'clock this after noon and Marshal Chandler at that time announced that he would ask the Department of Justice at Washington for further authority in the case. Later he was admitted to the lodge and Su- perintendent Jones, of the Rockefeller estate, informed him that he and his deputies could have the freedom of the place, a disclaimer being entered that the barring of the gate against the deputy marshal was meant as an af- front to Federal authority. Marshal Chandler would not say positively to- night that he believed J. D. Rocke. feller is at Forest Hill. but he said he felt sure that the latter is now within the Jurisdiction of the Federal court of Northern Ohio.

AoKI INTERVIEWED

Says Japan Would Not Regard 1t Un- friendly if United States Increased Naval Force on Pa~
 cilic.

Washington, July 2.--"No, Japan would not regard 1t ss an unfriendly act if the American government saw At to increase her naval force repre- sented in her territorial waters on the Pacific coast or even if she sent addi- tional men of war to the assistance of the Asiatic squadron. She would not look upon it as Q menace or re- gard 1t with regret.
 These were the words of Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to the United States when his attention was called today to the published reports that the general board of the navy had recommended to the President that the battieships of the American fleet be sent around to the Pacific coast. At the same time the Ambassador ex- pressed a great deal of interest in the stories printed and asked if they were true. He dislikes, he said, to ap- pear in the public prints when there was no reason for 1t, but he felt at perfect liberty to say what he did on this subject
 The Ambassador recalled that 1t is the custom and practice of nations to send vessels of their fleets in the wat CTS of other nations and instanced the fact that very recently several Japa- nese warships had visited American waters at the Jamestown exposition
 For the moment the embassy ofi- cials are not contemplating any action in the matter of the denial of the intel ligence office privileges to the Japan csc at San Francisco. MT. Aoki re- iterated today that that question can be taken in the courts by the persons affected by theN police boards decision and If the decision of the judges is such as to leave room to believe that the treaty rights of the Japanese have been denied. then the embassy will take the matter up with the state de- partmont.
 The question for the time being ii one for the courts, he added. Mir. Aok said that the Nichi Nichi. the Japanese newspaper which has been making some adverse comment on the intelli gence office cases. does not represen the governments attitude on the ques ton and that some of it's observations were not just.

The Commission Hears Lengthy Arguments.
NO DECISION IS RENDERED
Railroad Declares Grave Injustice

Aver Thst Present Facilities Are Ample For Needs And Innovation Would Cause Great Disturbance
 Of Schedules.

I The Alabama Railroad Commission yesterday heard reasons why the Louisville and Nashville Railroad should be made to use the union pas- senger station at Mobile and 1t heard. too. reasons why the road should not be compelled to abandon its present property and run its train in and out the new station.
 The Commission took no action upon the question. It was announced that the decision would be rendered at a later date. The issue was brought to the Commission some time ago by citt7 xens of Mobile. The claim was made that the road should abandon its pres ent depot property at the foot of Gov ernment street and use the new station in connection with the other roads en- tering Mobile.
 So important was the question that the Commission set it for the second day of the July meeting in order that a full hearing of it might be had. Pres ident Henderson and Associate Com missioners Harris and Nesbit were all present when the case was called for a hearing yesterday morning.
 The various commercial bodies of Mo- bile which have interested themselves in the movement were represented by a delegation composed of Messrs.I Err win Crafghead, John Craft. Albert Bush, Horace Turner. Captain T. M. Nichols, J. B. waterman and T. E. ouina. The Louisville and Nashville was represented by George W. Jones' Gregory L. Smith and John V. Smith.
 The Commission first heard from the citizens on their claim that the Louis vile and Nashville should be made to le.sye it's Government street depot and unite with the other roads in the use of the union passenger station.
 The representatives of the Louisville and Nashville submitted that q grave injustice would be done if the Commis- sion forced them to abandon their val uable property on the river front. Ii was argued that the new station was

TARIFF WAR IN PROSPECT. United States and France Do Not
 Agree On Preferentials.

Paris, November 5.-The present indica- tions point to an early inauguration of a tariff war between France and the United States. The negotiations opened last sum- mer for an arrangement on a basis giving France the benefit of 20 per cent reduc- ton in wines in return for preferentials upon about 100 articles, including shoes, tools, machinery etc., have thus Tar been barren of results and the action of the French government Saturday in virtually promising not to conclude any further commercial treaties until parliament passes upon the proposed revision of the tariff of 1892 seems to preclude any chance of agreement It is true that last week. before the government made it's promise, a reluctant assent was given to an exten- sion of the decree granting the minimum rates on Porto Ricsn coffee until De- cember l. While the extension nominally keeps the issue open for another month, it is practically certain that nothing was accomplished unless the United States radically changes it's attitude, France having all along regarded the concessions asked of her being utterly disproportion- ate to that which was offered. If the Porto Rican coffee decree is withdrawn. as now appears likely. the United States is expected to retaliate, and tarlff war will then be on.

 Dear Sir: The underlying purpose of your two letters should be highly com mended. While currency matters are now unsettled, these conditions are improving every day, and the well-known soundness of our local banks should relieve us of any fear. or uneasiness as to the speedy and safe adjustment of these matters.

 Dear Sir: Your several letters to The Age-Herald sounded like a bugle blast Tn the wilderness. Their notes were clear and sharp, in sounding the alarm of danger confronting our state. You have taken an unselfish interest, one to be pondered and digested. The fact that some of the ablest minds of this and other communi- ties of Alabama have spoken their minds is evidence of the great interest that is manifested, as well as the great danger staring us in the face, unless our people will take recourse in getting back upon conservative and business lines.
 MT. A. R. Dearborn, in The Age-Herald of yesterday, has presented an array Of statistics and facts, stated with power and reason, that should make us pause and ponder well in taking steps which by nasty legislation may retard our material and moral progress. l can add but one thought to all those advanced by you and the best business element of our state, and that is that all drastic legislation is hurtful in the end, and the effects cannot be forecasted in duration of time and in- tensifying our depressed condition.
