THE selection Of Mr.. John W. Castles, pres

to head the Union Trust Company is the
recognition of eminent financial authority

Mr.. Castles has been figure of strength and
influence in the fiscal history made by New

times of the recent past, during which his fore

where they had been caught in the act of
stealing.

thought from spontaneous combus-

Rands Manufacturing Co.'S factory at
Macomb and Beaubien-sts., Monday
noon. While the loss cannot be esti-
mated definitely, W. G.. Rands, secre-

says $4,000 will cover IL and 1t may
prove to be great deal less than
that. The damage is principally to
stock, OF which there was big sup
ply on hand. The company manufac-
lures automobile tops and other auto
mobile accessories.
The fire started under one OF the
benches on the Beaubien-st. side, and
about the middle OF the structure,

dinner. All got out In safety Dy

Office and factory employees were going
out to lunch. the fire attracted big
crowd and soon the streets leading
to the burning structure were literally
choked with humanity, while neigh
boring roofs for blocks around all had
their quota of curious onlookers.
After a half hours hard work the
department got the flames under con-
troll. The company was amply In
sured and will probably begin making
repairs at once.

HUTCH|Ns REPLIES
TO DU POINTS
FIGURES
RlolcULEs STATEMENT THAT o.
v. RS PHYSICAL EQUIPMENT
is WORTH NO MORE THAN TEN
YEARS AGO.

Relative to dhe published statement
OF A. b. du Pont that the physical
properties OF the Detroit United rail
way which were inventoried at 81
SO6.7S7.42 ten years ago. have not
been increased In value and are worth
only about the same now. President
Jere c. Hutchins gave out the follow
ing statement. Monday:
The inventories Mr.. du Pont refers
to were taken at the beginning OF the
year 1899. They showed the value OF
the city lines To be about sixteen mil
lions OF dollars, of which 1896, 737.42
covered their physical value. These
Inventories taken AT the beginning OF
the year were based upon conditions
as they existed AT the end Of the year
1898. In the year 1898 there
were carried on all Of the De-
troit city lines, including transfer
passengers. 3 total OF 55,37S, 918 pas
sengers. OF which number 44,l97.l22
were pay or revenue passengers. In
1908 there were carried on these lines
a total of 14S,S40,S35 passengers. an
increase of nearly one hundred mil
lions. or these 40.447 1893 were car
ried as transfer or free passengers. be-
ing very hearly as many as were car
ried all told for pay In 1898.
"One would hardly contend that
these results could have been accom-
plished without some additional faciii-
ties. | would mention one item: Ev-
cry electrical device In the power
houses OF this city. with the installa-
ton of which Mr.. du Pont had any
thing to do, has been replaced since
the year 1899 by machinery suitable
for our present traffic conditions And
In meeting these traffic conditions. ev-
cry feature OF the company's plant mas
required the expenditure Of large sums
of money.
Mr.. du Pont and Mr.. Johnson have
paid us the compliment OF saying In
Detroit that 1t should not cost any
more than $4,000 mile to build and
equip street railway. and that any
street railway capitalized In excess OF
that amount is capitalized on water.
pure and simple. Their railway In
Cleveland was turned over To what
they call the government at about
1929 900 a mile The compliment ~
an implied one, of course, meaning
that we should be able to do as much
with thirty cents as they are with
dollar.
IL rather expect them to come back
at me with the argument that We are
crowding all OF the added millions or
passengers into the same old cars OF
1898. But In view OF the fact that
most OF our cars now in use are COM
modious double truck cars and that
there were none Of that type In De-
troit ten years ago. this argument
would hardly be fair. On this point
possibly du Pont and Johnson. who
testified In the Detroit courts'that we
should be required to operate cars
20 seconds apart, can tell you why In
their efforts to avoid loss OF a mil
lion dollars in six months In their
three-cent experiment last year. they
were justified in Withdrawing from
service about one-Quarter OF the cars
which had been In use in Cleveland"
