OLD, POOR AND SICK,
SUES HIS CHILDREN
Abraham Haas Wants $I50 Z
Month for His Support

Abraham Haas. more than so years
of age, poor destitute, sick, feeble,
and broken down in health" according
TO his own statement, instituted suit
yesterday against his four children,
Samuel A. Haas, Juliette Block, .Eu-
genia Haas and Milton Haas, for $3.50
a month for his support. The old man
asserts that another son, Albert, is
contributing something for his main
tenance, but not enough. If the others
would do as well as Albert he would
have no complaint, he says.
Haas was for more than Is years
president Of the Pacific bone, coat and
fertilizer company, drawing a salary
of $500 a month. He was deposed
from the position.
The reason he now has no money
according to his complaint, is that he
spent his salary on his children and
in the expenses connected with the
fatal illness of his wife.

$56,OOO,OOO SPENT
ON RAILWAY TIES
Enormous Consumption of Wood
for Track Purposes Tabled
by Census Report
Oak Forms Great Body of Wood
Used, but Many Others Are
Now Being Tried

WASHINGTON. June 1S.-During the
year 1903 the steam and electric rail
roads OF the United States purchased
more than 10000 600 crossties. cost
ing, at the point of purchase, over
$4,000, 600 an average of 80 cents per
tie, according to statistics just made
public by the bureau OF census in CO.
operation with the United States forest
service. This was some 4o,o 600 Geo ties
less than the quantity purchased in
1907. when the total was approximately
l53. 100000. the highest ever recorded.
The decreased purchases in 1908
were, of course, chiefly due to the
business depression which affected
every line OF industry. This forced
most of the roads to purchase oaly the
ties which were absolutely essential
for renewals, and heavily cut down the
purchase for new track. In 1903 only
7,s3l Geo crossties were reported as
purchase for new track as against
% .557, 600 in 1907. OF the total num-
Der of ties purchased for all purposes,
the steam railroads took approximately
90 per cent, leaving about 6 per cent
for the electric roads.
1t is very interesting to note the
ties. The preliminary report by the
census bureau lists separately 10
classes of species. OF these the oaks
are now and have always been by far
the most important. The oak ties
amounted to more than 4s.0o0.e0O, or 4s
per cent OF the total quantity pur-
chased
Next to these ranked the southern
yellow pines, with 21.500, 600, or 19
per cent of the total. It will be seen
that the oaks and southern pines COM
bined furnished nearly three-fourths
of all the ties bought by the railroad
companies last year. Cedar and chest
nut supplied more than 100000 ties
each, and Douglas fir nearly as much.
About 1000 600 tamarack ties were
purchased, nearly 3.50O.0 cypress ties,
and, in round numbers, 5000. 900 each
Of western pine and hemlock. Red
wood, white pine, lodgepole pine, gum,
beech. spruce and several other woods
were used in similar quantities.
