NAIL CARS GOOD INVESTMENT.
A Single Coach Costing But About
$1,000 Has Been Known TO
Earn Over 100000.
(6y b. @. D0yAer.)

my 0s u D0y4efs)
Washington, d. c., March 25.-There
are cars in the railway mail service
which, though costing the railroads
Who own them only about $4,000 eacn,
have drawn rentals over and above
maintenance and repairs Of more than
100000 each. This statement is per-
haps so startling as to be incredible
to some, and yet it is borne out by
figures OF the postoffice department.
An examination of the debates in the
fifty-eighth and fiftyninth congresses
on the subject show figures furnished
by the department in this relation.
According to these figures the average
annual rental paid for railway postal
cars for the last fiscal yearrwas {5.447.
According to these safae figures the
average annual expenditure per car
for maintenance, repairs, ETC., was
about 81 200. This leaves net annual
rental OF $4,247 per car. Figures cited
by Representative Tawney in the fifty.
eighth congress show that there are
cars which have been doing duty for
twenty-five years; some, in fact, since
1871. A car in the service for twenty
five years would earn net rentals
amounting to $106,175. Mr.. Tawney
also showed that the average life of
mail car is fifteen years. On this basis
the net earnings of a railway postal
car costing $4,000 would be over So
900 on an average.
These figures are over and above the
rates paid for the transportation of the
mails themselves, which are carried at
a cost deemed excessive by many we'll
informed people. Those who have
studied the subject say that these
rates. if they ought not to be lowered.
ought at least to entitle the mails and
those who handle them to every safe
guard that can be provided. 1t is said
that steel cars and electric lighting
apparatus would render the mail prac-
tically immune from destruction from
fire or other causes in case OF wrecks,
whereas mails are now often burned
up representing many thousands of
dollars in single wreck.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New Orleans, La, March 25.-Sena-
tors, representatives, governors, mu-
nicipal officials and representatives of
commercial organizations from all over
the south are in New Orleans today to
take part in the southern states and
gulf coast conference called by the
New Orleans Progressive union for the

bers of the house committee on rivers
and harbors are also here from all
parts of the country for the purpose of
investigating the needs of Louisiana
waterways and are the guests of the
progressive union at today's confer
ence.
The alleged discrimination of the
Panama canal commission in favor of
the east as against the south is the
principal subject of discussion at the
conference, President Trezevant of the
Progressive union declaring that it is
the obvious intention of the commits
sion to put the control of the trade
passing through the canal in the hands
of eastern commercial interests, al
though the gulf coast is nearer and

HARRY THAW
"DEE-L|GHTED"
Thinks He Will Have No Trou-
BILE Proving Himself Thor
oughly Sane.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, March 25.-The time be-
tween today's brief session of court
and Wednesday morning, when the
Thaw trial is scheduled to be resumed,
will be spent by Justice Fitzgerald in
examining aff1davits and other papers
in the insanity proceedings filed by
the opposing counsel so that with the
resumption of the trial Wednesday,
the justice will be ready with his
decision as to whether or not a
lunacy commission shall be appointed.
1t is stated today that if the COM
mission is appointed, Thaw will not
take advantage Of legal devices to
thwart thorough examination. He
is said to be eager for a chance to
prove that he is sane. Thaw is
credited with saying:
Il will submit to all phases of an
examination that is rational and rea-
sonable."
Thaw is not convinced that Justice
Fitzgerald will find it necessary to
appoint a commission in lunacy, but
he resents the possibility of the gen.
eral public inferring from the fact
that his own counsel opposes District
Attorney Jerome's move for the ap,
pointment of a commission, that he
shrinks from the ordeal of facing such
body. Thaw is in high spirits over
the afidavits drawn In his behalf and
delivered to Justice Fitzgerald. He
is especially pleased with the affidavit
prepared by his mother.
