SEE RETURN Of PROSPERITY

Washington. March 3.-The Ameri-
can railways have made arrangements
to comply with the provisions of the
nine-hour law. The operation of the
law will mean the employment by rail-
road companies of several thousand
additional operators and the closing OF
a large number of small stations on
the principal systems. The operating
officials of the railways believe that
this is the only way that they posi-.
bly, can meet the situation. During
the hearing by the interstate COM
merce commission some astonishing
statements were made by the operat-
ing officials of important railways.
Pushed Hard for Cash.
A good many lines, owing to a re-
duction in their revenues and to their
inability to command the cash neces-
sary to meet their pay rolls, nave been
forced during the past four months al
most to the point of asking for re-
c~eivers. Most of the railway officials
attribute the difficulty to the unfor-
tunate banking situation which de-
veloped last September.
One railway official ventured the
statement that in the country to-day
there were 100000 idle freight cars,
and one line which he instanced was
declared to be hauling empty ears
backward and forward because il had
not yard room or sidings to accommo-
date them.
Return of Prosperity.
Not a single official, however, ex-
pressed the belief that the present in
dustrial depression would be lasting.
They practically uniformly express
confidence that the return of prospect
ty will be almost as sudden as was the
coming of adversely, and in their argu-
ments as to the enforcement of the
nine-hour law they pointed out to the
commission that such a return of pros
perity might seriously embarrass them
in complying with the law, because it
would render 1t difficult to command
the services of competent operators in
sufficient numbers to meet the needs
of prosperous conditions.

Italians in Six Cities We're Con.
nected With the Killing OF
Father Leo.
SIX SUSPECTS ARE CAPTURED
Letter to Son Written by Denver Priests
Assassin Contains Clue
to Conspiracy.

Denver, March 1. - Chief OF Police
| Michael Delaney said yesterday that a
| letter written by Giuseppe Alto TO his
| son, which was found in the cell occu-
| pied by Alto while In Jail at Colorado
Springs, contained proof that men in
| six cities In the United States were
| connected with him in the killing OF
| Father Leo Heinrichs.
Almost at the moment that he made
| this statement came new that six ar
| rests had been made in Eastern cities
| of men suspected of being accomplices
| of the murderer.
Six Arrests Made.
]. Vanni was arrested in New York
| Yesterday, charged with being the
! chief of the society, while in Pittsburg
| Orcstos Sodi, Tomasso Calabreso,
Orestos Malavul and Malio Tolmei
were locked up for being implicated
as members of the society. The pa
| lice of New York and Pittsburg say
they have evidence which connects
| these men with the killing Of Father
Leo.
Arrests have been made in four cit
| les, but because the police of these
cities are shadowing other men, no in
formation is given out as to who the
arrested men are.
Plot Matched Elsewhere.
Chief Delaney said that he was not
| sure whether Alto was merely a tool
of the anti-clerical society, to which
he said all these men belonged, or
| wether he was a ringleader.
Altos letter to his son vas found
concealed in the blankets of the cot
in the Colorado Springs Jail. Its con
tents translated, it is asserted, indicate
that Father Leo was the victim of a
| plot Matched outside of Denver, and
that Alto came here to commit the
murder, which was to be the signal
for others.
All Is Not Vet Told.
Until all the arrests have been made
which the police contemplate Chief
Delaney said he would not give out all
the particulars In the case.
That insanity will be the plea offer
