AS II answer to the report of Street
Car Inspector Tom Doron, submitted
to the Council by City Electrician b.
A. Blakey, General Manager w. IL
Ragland. OF the Montgomery Traction
Company. returned last night from
Louisville, where he transacted private
business. and announced that the Com
pany had ordered and would receive,
about April rs, eight fine cars for local
service.
In making the statement, Mr.. bag
land said that the company was not
impe1led but had all the time intended
to improve Its service and had been
hindered not by its own hardness or
unwillingness to ameliorate conditions
In the traffic but with the recognized
impossibility OF securing the rolling
stock that was needed.
With Mr.. Ragland last night was
J. F. Vessel, whose offices are to ad-
wise with r. D. Apperson. president
OF the Montgomery Traction Company.
Mr.. Vessel has been in MONTGOMERY
for some time and his business Is the
supervision OF the Improvement Of the
tracks as well as of the rolling stock
Of the company. He intimated last
night that one of the duties he would
first perform would be the Improve
ment and ultimate perfection OF the
tracks on Dexter Avenue.

Big Losses In Gross Tneome shOvsn In
Circular Letter of President
Smith to Oflicials Of
Road.

The gross income OF the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad system during
the FIRST three weeks OF january is,
$25 900 q dey less than they were DUR
ing each day OF the corresponding Pc
Rod of 1907. as q result OF business
depression and the war on railroads.
This fact is contained in the circular
letter sent out by President Milton H.
Smith to the officials Of the road, whose
salaries II was found necessary to cut.
The salary-4utting has so far been con-
fned to the gh-salaried ofEicers. But
the figures as given IN President
Smiths circular letter are very discour-
aging to the other officers and men OF
the road. The salary OF no Official who
receives less than $3.50 a month has
been cut. Ofacials who receted sala-
ries Of $416.s7 or more have had their
salaries reduced 10 per cent. TNose
who have received $3.50 q month or
more were reduced 10 per cent.
In promulgating this order President
Smith deals frankly with the ofiicials
as to the business affairs OF the Louis"
Vile and Nashville.
IL Is pointed out that for the first
three weeks OF January, 1908, the gross
earnings of the road were $2.l10.14O.
During the same period Of 1907 the
gross earnings amounted TO 42,7SS,OS5.
The 1908 earnings. therefore,, are ap-
proximateIy $4,000 day less than
they were during. the same period OF
the previous year.
During the year Of 1907 the gross
earnings increased over those OF 1905
sb.254.949. But the operating and
other expenses increased In proportion.
OF the Increase Of gross earnings the
increase in operating expenses absorbed
s4,S47,s3S. The increase in interest.
taxes, ETC., absorbed 33SS.163. After
the additional expenses had been met,
there remained net increase Tor the
year Of only S1o2,147.

excessively hot days here. the mercury 60

highest registered this season, according
to official statement. One heat prostra-
ton was reported Friday, Machinist Ed
Reardon being the victim.
.CRESToN-The ten-hour six days sched-
ule at the local Burlington shops goes into
effect again Monday, July 13, after being
on an eight or nine-hour five days per
week schedule since last October. The
notice was given out yesterday and the
employees are tubilant. Yesterday was the
first time in seven months that the round
house and machine shops forces have
worked Saturdays, and It means much to
the employees as well as to the city.
CRESTON-Congressman Hepburn has
notified the game warden at Summit lake,
near this city, that he has made arrange
ments to stock the lake with fish from
the national hatchery in Virginia besides
several thousand from Spirit lake in this
state. 1t is expected they will not arrive
until fall, as that is the proper time to
transfer them. The new club house and
boat house are completed and an order
has been given a boat builder at Bigelow,
Mo, for twenty-five boats to be put on
the lake, some bought by private parties
and others by the boat club. This will
make quite a number OF small craft, as
local parties already own a good many row
boats there.

PRESIDENT AND ROOT CONFER
Venezuelan Matters Said to Have
Been the Occasion of the
Meeting.

OYSTER BAY, July 13.-President Roose-
welt conferred this afternoon with Secre-
tury of State Elihu Root and Assistant
Acting Secretary Bacon at the presidents
home at Sycamore Hill for almost four
hours. The exact nature OF their delibera-
lions could not be learned. 1t is presumed,
however, that state affairs of an important
nature were the subject OF the discussion.
1t is thought likely that the formost subject
was the situation at present existing be-
tween the United States and Venezuela.
Acting Secretary Bacon was at his home
in Westbury. Long Island, and came to
Sycamore Hill in an automobile, arriving
shortly after / o'clock.
Mr.. Bacon. who has been in charge Of
affairs at Washington, brought with him
the latest information of the State depart
ment. The president and the two secre-
taries consulted until . o'clock, when all
sat down to dinner with the presidents
family. After dinner the conference was
resumed and 1t lasted until 4:45, when Act
ing Secretary Bacon departed for his home
in Westbury.
Secretary Root and the president, ac-
companied by two of the presidents sons,
were seen later going toward the beach in
Cold Springs harbor, where the president
goes bathing. Some of the party carried
towels and 1t was supposed all were bound
for a cooling dip in the bay.
Secretary Loeb was not at the conference,
having gone to visit Representative Cocks.
The staff of the executive officer was on
duty all afternoon.
When seen, the presidents secretary
said that the conference today was con-
nected with affairs in the State depart
ment. He said that Secretary Root had
been invited by the president to spend Sun
day with him, The secretary remained at
Sycamore Hin tonight as the presidents
guest.
