NJ CREA TALKS OF
FINANCIAL FURRY
Says Federal and State Legis-
lation Was the Chief
Cause.
PENNSYS ANNUAL REPORT
THE COMPANY'S NET INCOME
FOR THE YEAR SHOWED A DE-
CREASE OF MORE THAN TWO
MILLION DOLLARS.

New York, March 5-Recept federal
and state legislation is given as one or
the principal causes of the recent fl
nancial panic in the annual report OF
James McCrea, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, to the stockholders
of the company, which has been made
public. He says that the check TO
general business which came with the
financial disturbance has already larg-
Ie1y affected the revenues OF the sys-
tenn and that this condition is likely
to continue until all the questions at
issue have been fairly adjusted.
The report says that figures now at
hand show clearly that the lower prl-
ces which have prevailed during por-
ton of the year have not stimulated
traffic enough to offset the loss OF rev
enue and the higher cost of operation
due to increases in wages and cost of
supplies The cost a passenger mile
for the year is said by the report TO
have increased IS per cent, and the
cost a train mile nearly II per cent
with the result that there was re-
duction of nearly one-third in the earn
ings a passenger train mile.
Tunnel Extension.
One of the most intere sting features
of the report is that part which deals
with work on the New York tunnel eX-
tension. This shows that of the total
expended to date on this undertaking,
S3O,00O.o0O was charged off from time
to time against the cOmpany's profit
and loss account. 1t is planned to
have the New York tunnel and ter
minal station completed in 1910.
The financial statement shows that
gross traffic earnings for the year on
lines directly operated were $164 ,S12,-
S25, an increase of S16,572, 943 as COM
pared with 1906.
The operating expenses, including
taxes were 1923, 5S6,512, an increase of
s18065, 1874, leaving net earnings from
operation of SAL ,226,313, a decrease of
$1492,S91 The cOmpany's other in
come, including interest on its invest
ments, etc, amounted to $13,794, 106,
an increase of $1,009,S44
Decrease in Income.
After deducting payments for rem
tails of leased roads, interest on bond
ed debt and other charges. which in
creased s3,525,700 during 1907, the
company's net income for the year
was $33,575,O56, a decrease of 5000
pa.

tried to Strike Elliodt several times.

With the ancient Greeks the hat
was simply an appurtenance of the
traveller. The free citizen preferred TO
so bareheaded and only put on his
broad brimmed petasus for protection
against the sun when on a long jour
ney. Indeed the uncovered head was
part of his dignity. for the slaves and
workmen wore always kind of point
ed skull cap. the pileus, which there
fore stood for badge of servitude.
Much of the same scorn of habitually
covering the head prevailed among
the Romans. In England the hood
was not finally given up until the early
part of the fifteenth century.

fact that the Rhode Island senator has

fight is yet to come over the La Fol
1ette proposal to authorize the inter
state commerce commission to make a
physical valuation of every railroad
whose bonds are offered as security
for circulate ton. Senator Aldrich will
insist. that under Section 20 of the
rate law, the commission already has
ample authority to make such inquiry
. as may be deemed necessary by the
secretary of the treasury before accept
ing the bonds of any railroad. 1t is
now evident that the LaFollette
amendment has considerable strength
with the republican senators.
CLANCY Against Aldrich Bill.

the Aldrich currency bill. He be-
