R. CROKER EXPLAINS
HIS INTEREST IN
SAVING RUINS
WAS A SUGGESTION THAT AMER.
lCA WOULD DO A NOBLE DEED
IN PRESERVING THEM-6Y MA.
rloNAL SUBSCRIPTION.

LONDON. June l1.--There has been
so much misunderstanding concerning
Richard Croker's so-called proposal 10
remove the imperiled ruins OF Philae
from Egypt 10 New York that CORE
spondent called on the former Tam
many chieftain and asked him for the
facts.
The facts are" said Mr.. Croker,
that did not make any proposal AT
all; simply made a suggestion. When
was in Egypt the most interesting
and pathetic thing | saw was the sub
merged island OF Philae with its ruins
among the finest in the world.
AS a result OF the present barrage
or dixie, at Assouan, the waters OF tho
Nile reservoir inundate the ruins 10
the depth OF about 10 feet. When the
new barrage is completed, In three
years. the ruins will be drowned for
ever. unless some one saves them.
What Croker Suggests.
'Ny suggestion is that the United
Stakes should be the savior. OF
course. II New York Will do this. so
much the better Let a committee be
started. Let the Historical society
aid Let there be a popular subscrip-
ton. | should think that any one
TO say they had helped bring these
wonderful ruins 10 America AS a
show there is nothing IN the world
10 compete with them"
Asked what help he would give, Mr..
Croker said he would subscribe will
ingly. but could not undertake 20
serve on any committee. The main
cost, he said. would be that of trans
portation. The blocks OF stone. prop
erly numbered according TO photo
graphed plans, could easily be RATED
10 Alexandria and taken direct TO
New York.
No international Difficulties.
So far as any international ques.
ton went Mr. Croker held the opinion
that the English government would as
sist most willingly in a transfer that
would mean tho preservation OF the
wonderful ruins.
The island OF Philae was originally
only heap OF granite boulders, but
the Ptolemys built retaining walls
round. and the space inside these,
filled up with Nile mud. became beau
tiful groves OF palms and mimosas.
On this rocky island marvelously
beautiful palaces. temples-master-
pieces OF the architecture OF that time
and pylons were built, the generally
accepted date Of their construction
being $50 B. c.

Improvement Versus Antiquity.
This elevation, Il ID calculated. will
add $4,000 acres TO the cultivable
land OF Egypt and add $l5,000.000 TO
the annual revenue.
When the present dam is filed the
floors OF the temple of Philae are al
ready under water; but the structures
Were underpinned when the dam was
made and Prof Masper0 believed the
precious relics for Philae were safe.
The new scheme. however, threatens
the buildings more seriously, for. when
the dam is filed. the level OF the wa
ters OF the Nile will be about % feet
above the level OF the temple court
yards.

Rate Not Abandoned.

Chicago, Jan. 11..-An announcement
by the Erie yesterday that there would
be a postponement in putting into eff
feet the reduced passenger rates con-
templated between Chicago and New
York was the cause of the rumor that
the project had been abandoned. It
was expected that the Fries new tarlff
would be filed at Washington on jan
uary 10, and would 60 into effect Feb.
ruary 10, and that It would provide
for n first-class rate to New York OF
$12, and a second-class rate Of $S. The
passenger representatives of the Erie
stated yesterday that the postpone
ment was due to the fact that they
had been unable to get the new rates
quoted in the Chicago rate sheet ex-
cept by supplement. announcing the
Erie's Independent tariff and that they
were afraid the western lines would
not use their proposed rates as basing
rates. They therefore preferred to
wait until they could get the rates
quoted in the rate sheet.

VOL YES ARE GETTING BOLD
Recent Exerience of Night Waterman
At Valentine.

Valentine, Neb., Jan. 19.-Special to
The News: Wolves are getting quite
bold in this part of the state. Last
Sunday morning Night Marshal Hell
singer spied one as he was coming
back from his duties. 1t was little
ways off from his house and he went
in to get his rifle, but the wolf, which
was a monster was right in line with
another house and he dared not shoot
at it. The wolf, however caught sight
of him and took for the tall timber at
such a gait that shooting was ineffec-
tive. There is some talk of having
a wolf hunt in the near future and
those who enjoy the sport would find
plenty of material, as reports from
different parts of the county indicate.
Probably the only difficulty that would
be experienced would be the securing
of hounds for such an occasion.

VIEWS OF TRAFFIC MEN.
Different Ideas Of Future Conditions
Are Expressed.

Are Expressed.
Views of railroad officials concern
ing the traffic outlook for the new cal
endar year are quite extensively can
vassed by the Railroad Gazette of New
York, which prints the substance Of
replies, received without giving names.
or AZ answers to questions received,
16 are very optimistic, IA indicated a
belief that more or less protracted
period of mild depression is ahead
while IL anticipate severe depression
These replies cover all sections of the
country and include Canada. Many of
them of course complain of state rate
law restrictions and all seem to note
a recent sharp decline in general traf-
fic volume as result of the panic.
The free movement of the crops to
market has been checked by "the alb
solute inability to secure from banks
the money with which to move the
crops" as one western official express
es it. Some of the answers, while rec
ognizing the certainty of quite pro-
lOnged reduction in traffic volume,
speak of such offsetting advantages as
easier labor conditions and lower pric-
es of material, which may result in &C.
tual improvement in net earnings as
compared with results for the past
few months, when increase in operat-
ing expenses has shown a tendency to
overtake and far out run any increase
in gross earnings.
