slonal Device to identity 7rain..

Denver men have become financial
~ interested in signal device in
vented by r. l.. Cairncross, a Santa
Fee conductor, which is to be given
practical test by the Santa Fe, the
Rock Island, the Chicago Great West
ern and other railroads. The inventor
claims that the device would have
prevented the Denver G Rio Grande
wreck which recently took place at
Hustled. It's object is to display the
train numbers in illuminated frames
on the front OF the engine 80 that
there can Be no mistake in identity
ing the train.
The Hustled wreck is said to have
occurred because an. extra engine on
siding was mistaken for a train
which was to have been passed at
that point. Such mistake would
hardly have been possible with the
new device, which carries the train
| number in front Of the locomotive
This is to be made still palmer by the
shutting of Of the headlight while the
train is on the siding. A signal de-
vice connected with the cab gives the
engineer additional facilities for, con
trolling the signals and receiving
warning Of anything wrong.

eleven per cent Of the cost of rail-

Owing to the increased price Of coal
during the last ten years. which in
some states has amounted to as much
as Sc per cent, 1t is asserted that for
one dollar spent for locomotive fuel.
in 1897 for each $17.25 Of gross re-
ceipts the ratio has declined in 1907
to one dollar for locomotive fuel for
each $12.93 Of gross receipts.
The expense of taxation is shown
to have Increased from $235.36 . mile
of line in 1897 to 3S5309 mile Of
line in 1907, over 50 per cent. The
cost of regulation. both state and ma
tional, which is classified akin to tax
alton, has also added greatly to the
expense of the carriers.
A conservative computation dis.
closes that the costs due to increases
in expenses or reductions in revenue
imposed by statutes or by commits
sions acting under federal and state
regulatory laws cost the railways OF
the United States approximately $780,.

FRANCE RETALlATEs.
Puts Maximum Tariff Duties in Effect
Because of AIdrich Bill.

6SSdQSC VI fNi0t iSi 0IIis
Paris, Nov 2-Reginning yesterday
the government is applying maximum
rates on American importatlons cover
ed by the tariff between the two gov
ernments which expired yesterday
1t was pointed out in government
circles that there was nothing unusual
in the application of the maximum
rates at this time, despite the fact that
the maximum feature of the new tar-
iii law in the United States will not go
into effect until March 81 next.
1t is pointed out, also that it was
the United States and not France
which terminated the commercial
agreements. and the restoration of the
rates in effect prior to the signing of
the abrogated arrangement was log
teal consequence so far as France was
concerned
Ii was admitted. however, that from
q tactical point of view it was to the
advantage of France to have conces-
sions to offer in the forthcoming nego-
tiations for the retention of American
minimum rates on French products af-
ter March 81. 1910
The intimation contained in some of
the special news dispatches from the
United States that America would seek
a method of retaliation if France en-
forced its maximum tariff agreement,
has caused a painful impression here.
If. as intimated Washington threat
ened to invoke the sweeping clauses
of the adulterated food and drug act
10 place French wines under the ban,
the situation would become forthwith
acute. The effect here of such a hap
nening would be deplorabe and the ne
gotiations which Ambassador Jusser-
and is prepared to undertake would be
seriously preiudiced.

LAY 1T TO PROHIBITION.
Alabama State Treasury Faces Deficit
of S1.CoO,Ooo.

Montgomery, Nov. with a short
age of almost s1.o0O,00o staring the
state in the face and with the executive
authorized under the law to borrow
only 100000 in such emergencies, Gov.
b B. Conner is fairly up against the
real thing in loss of revenue by the
prohibition laws.
The appropriation made in the regu-
lar session of the Legislature in 1907
did not take into account The general
p.oh:bition i2r enacted 81 the special
session of the same year which became
effective on the first of the present
year.
AS a result the strong box has gone
so empty that $4,000 must be had to
tide over the month of November, with
perhaps 5000, 900 representing the deficit
that must come along by the end of
the wear as little in the way of taxes
is available before the middle of Janu-
airy. Governor Conner asserts. however,
that he will meet the situation without
EN- barra ssment to the state.

that the east is unloading its crop and

This movement is seasonable, however,
and may be expected to continue until

The average weight of the receipts
in October was 227 pounds against

to the absence of little pigs, which

The chief part of the train dispatch
ers business is the movement of
trains by special telegraphic orders.
Sitting in his office at the end of the
division. his finger on the clicking
key. his eyes glued on the train
sheet, with it's maze of thousands
upon thousands of figures that indi-
cate to him the whereabouts of every
train on the line and their every move
ment, he sits during hts trick" of
eight hours. not daring to permit any
one or anything to divert his attention
from his responsible work.
The time table shows what the regu-
lar trains are supposed to do; the
dispatcher's sheet shows what they
have done actually. The train sheets
are made up by divisions and the
branches of each division, and have
the names Of the stations and sidings
down the center, and two lines on
either side, in which to record the
time each train arrives at and leaves
each station. Each sheet is started at
midnight. On one side are the east
bound trains; the other side is deyot-
cd to the west-bound.
For all except regular trains, and
for those regular trains that are not
running on schedule time, special or
ders must be issued for each move
ment. The dispatcher does that
