important to breed good men than fast
horses and told how in Missouri when
he became governor the first thing he
did was to recommend the repeating of
the law licensing gambling at the state
fair, which was done three years ago.
Since that time, he said, there had been
more fine horses raised in Missouri
without the gambling feature than
when horse racing was licensed. Stock
and grain gambling was also under

AdOo, the Ten
nessee lawyer whose spirit revived an
old and languishing tunnel charter and
to whom credit is given for the financ-
ing and management of the great en-
terprise, had wired the president, 1.-The
first official train of the Manhattan and
Hudson Railroad company under the
Hudson river awaits your signal and
pleasure" McAdoo then stood by the
motorman while the train made the
trip to Hoboken In ten minutes. In
HobOken exercises were held to COM
plete the transfer of the tunnel to the
operating company by the underwrit-
ing company. Later the occasion was
celebrated with a banquet at Sherry's.
The estimated cost of the system when
completed is $7O,OO0O00 The Erie and
Pennsylvania stations in Jersey City
will be connected by the lower pair of
tubes to the downtown terminals at
Dey street, thence connecting with the
present subway system, while the
Sixth avenue line will run to Thirty
third street near the new Pennsylvania
tunnel terminal and a spur across
Eighth street connecting with the sub
way.
Regular trains began running at mid

crossing under the bed of the river is
three minutes and the distance a mile
and a quarter. At the center or state
line the tubes are ninety-five feet under
the surface of the river and sixty feet
deep in the silt or ooze of the bottom.
The Railroad Wage Issue.
The negotiations between the officers
and employees of the Southern railway
In respect to a reduction of wages final
ly resulted in the statement from Presi-
dent Finley that the employees had
rejected the proposed reduction and
that the management, not wishing to
act in an arbitrary way, had requested
the chairman of the interstate COM
merce commission to mediate between
them under the provisions of the Erd-
man law.
Owing to the opposition of Judge
Pritchard to the proposed reduction in
the wages of employees of the Sea-
board Air Line, the receivers of that
company, who were appointed by
Pritchard. have abandoned the plan.
The railroad commission of Georgia
has ordered all common carriers which
contemplate wage reductions to notify
It, with the figures and the reasons for
such cuts, thus deferring action until
the commission is satisfied.
The Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gineers has asked q general conference

garding the 10 per cent cut in wages to

SOCIOLOGICAL
To Improve Factory Conditions.

Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of j.
Pierpont Morgan, and several other
wealthy society women are leading a
movement intended to be of national
scope, to improve the condition of
working women and men in large
cities. To this end they have vOlun-
tarily assumed the duty of factory in
spectors in New York city and vicinity,
examining closely into the hygienic
and social conditions prevailing The
purpose so far developed is not to
remedy existing conditions by influenc-
ing legislation, but to work by private
influence on the individual manufac-
turing firms in whose workshops are
found abuses or unsatisfactory condi-
tons.

Hughes of New York is very much in
the glare of publicity at this moment,

GUS special articles appearing in the

speech at the Washingtons birthday

club was widely printed as his first
address In the middle west dealing
with national issues. 1t dealt largely
with the need of restoring confidence
in country wholly sound" by con-
structive rather than destructive leg
islation. He said that what the coun-
try wanted was not socialism, but a

not crush, railroads and other enter
