TIE RAILROADS ARE
RECOVERING RAPIDLY
Gross Earnings for the Past Few
Months show Big Increase Over
Last Year.

Chicago, June 1S.-There Is COM
that great recovery is being expert
enced in the railroad business in the
r. ports of nine of the leading systems
of the country for the ten months of
the present year. OF these roads, five
at the present time show gross earn
ings for ten months greatly in excess
of their income for the same period in
1908, while only one of the nine
shows a decrease in the net revenue.
Some of the most striking increases
in the net for the period are those re-
ported by Louisville and Nashville
with 50 per cent over last year; Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe. with 25
per cent; Union Pacific. with 81 per
cent. and Southern Pacific with IA
per cent. The PENNSYLVANIA, the only
road of the nine to show a decrease
reports gross earnings of $l14,536, 900
falling off Of $4,000, 600. though
the net $33,2O2.0 900. is a decrease of
only $953,00O from the same period
of last year, owing to economies in
operating expenses.
Tonnage for the first week of June
exceeding that of any similar week in
the last ten years is reported by the
Lake shore. Other roads also report
good gains, ana that, at the rate bus
mess is picking up, they will soon
have all the tonnage they can well
handle.
The railroads operating east from
Chicago and ST. Louis especially have
noticed decided Improvement in
the tonnage, and report that the sur
plus of idle cars and motive power
Is being reduced. Shipments to the
south and southeast, though of fair
size, are not greatly changed from
those of recent weeks.

and Orvillo Wright today when three
medals were presented to them. The
presentation took place on plat
form not far from the little factory

sented the state medal and Mayor

work short time in the workshop.
In presenting the government
medals to the Wright brothers here
today in recognition of their aerial
invention, Gen. James Allen, chief
signal officer Of the army represent
ing the secretary of war, gave a his
tory of the relation between the Unit
ed states government and the Wright
brothers in the purchase of an aero
plane.
He said that so far az he knew the
brothers for furnishing the govern
ment with a heavier than air flying
machine, was the first public contract
made by any government for aero
nautical appliances. He also spoke
Of the flights of the Wright brothers
both in America and abroad, con-
Guiding his remarks along this line
by saying that to them is due the
great credit of first publicly demon
strating to the world the practicable
ity of dynamic flight.
"The success of the Wright broth
ers has rot been due to chance" said
Gen. Allen, but to their persistence,
daring and intelligence in scientifcal-
ly vorking out the different parts
which go to make up their machine
and practically testing the same in
flight Orville and Wilbur Wright
have by their genius and persever-
ence done honor to the United States.
The United States in return has sig
nally offered them by a joint resolu-
tiou of its Congress and the presen-
tation of these medals, designed by
the secretary of war. in accordance
with that resolution, and with the CO.
operation of the secretary of the
mint in Philadelphia.
within the past few months Mr..
Wilbur Wright has made demonstra-
tions in the presence of the king of
England, king of Spain and the king
of Italy and the ambassador at Rome.
has also flown as a passenger with
Mr.. Wright These two distinguished
gentlemen have therefore received a
most distinguished honor both at
home and abroad"
Gen. Allen described the medal
during his speech. 1t bears a fac
simile of the great seal of the United
States, the date of the joint resolu-
tiou Of Congress providing for the
medals and the words of the resolu-
tion, I'm recognition and appreciation
of their ability. courage and success

j. Heney was interrupted three times
during the first thirty minutes of his
address to the jury in the prosecution
of Patrick Calhoun today. Excep-
tiors were taken by attorneys for
the defense on the ground of miscon-
duct.
Twenty policemen guarded the on
frances to the court room and a
squad of secret service agents escort
ed Heney to the room Another
squad guarded the jury box.
Heney plunged directly into his
discourse charging Tirey l.. Ford
with giving Ruef money for the su-
pervisors for a trolley permit. He
said that Michael Coffey. a supervisor
was convicted on the same evidence
offered here, but he didn't have
enough money to obstruct justice.

Clude his argument this afternoon,

direct appeal has been made by the
defense to the prejudice Of the Irish

on the subject of bossism, Mr..
Heney said:
What spectacle is this for
American citizens, The history of
the country shows that the menace
to our existence as a republic lies
in our great cities where we foster
the bosses. Bosses are not created,
they merely take advantage of con-
ditions, They are known by two
classes. One holds forth in the ten
derloin where they want a permit to
commit crime. the other class preys
from above. They are the people
who live on Pacific avenue and in the
so-called fashionable neighborhoods.
But you don't mean that they join
hands with the tenderloin to accom-
plish their ends? Yes, that's exactly
what | do mean And that is what
makes the boss possible.

like to the penitentiary you do not
