SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

Southern railroads will In the next
few years De lace u face with as
great tran. portatiOn problem as any
Sc, zion OF this country mas heretofore
BEEN called upon TO solve.
The remarkable growth OF diversi.
fed industry in the States south OF
the Ohio and east OF the Mississippi
rivers. which has occurred in recent
years aid which Ia assuming ever EN-
larging proportions, will call fo- great.
ly enlarged transportation facilities
and the expenditure Of vast sums OF
capital in order to keep pace with
this economic development and prog
ress.
The latent resources of the South
are receiving the attention OF the
whole world. and the extent and di.
versity OF this commercial expansion.
while creating an internal traffic
largel; local as to its origin. covers
IA wide field I'm its distribution, the
burden OF which must necessarily
fall upon the railroads.
Briefly stated the South now furn-
ishes so per cent Of the cotton produc.
ton Of the world: IL melts more than
half Of the pig iron and converts into
cloth more than one-fifth OF the cot.
ton which IL produces. The manufac-
ture of furniture has grown to such
proportions as is not exceeded In any
other section OF the country. Yet
countless acres remain which never
have been under cultivation and great
areas Of its forests which have been
practically untouched.
Territory along Southern railroads
Is being covered with new manufac-
turing plants. Its forests and its un-
touched areas OF rich soil, the abund.
ant supply OF the necessary raw ma
terial and cheap power. are attracting
to the territory capitalists interested
In manufactures and the cultivation
of cotton. rice, fruits and vegetables
which find a ready sale In the mar
kets OF the East and North.
The extent of this industrial expan.
sion and Its beneficial effects on the
Southern railroads Is fully reflected in
the tonnage statistics OF the various
transportation lines which serve this
territory. In 1900 the South had 3S..
ll6 miles Of railroad. and in 1908 a..
AS. most Of which Is single track
The crying need is for double track.
new lines. more equipment and termi.
nal facilities In order to meet the
growing demands of the traffic which
has now reached the maximum ca.
pacity Of the single track ON most of
the Southern lines.
Construction OF new lines Is pro-
ceeding very slowly. In 1906 only
1872 miles were built; In 1907, ISIS
miles. and in 1908, 933 miles. In the
same period the total OF capital stocks
and bonds increased from $3.50. l97.-

this increase representing largely i'm

Tons of freight carried increased

In 1907. but owing to the financial
and industrial depression in 1908 de

New York newspapers were misled
BY these false reports, which are now
alleged to have been sanctioned. II not
originated. by high official Of the de-
partment
! In the reports sent out from New
ark. Detective Sergeant Frank W.
Tu!te was alleged to have put Mrs.
Wilhelm through a series OF refined
third degree tortures In an effort
10 extort from her 4 confession OF the
murder. Blood curdling details were
given OF the midnight visits to the
corpse OF the murdered Magistrate left
weltering in its blood, and dramatic
details OF the scenes said to have been
enacted were given By PRISONS who
claimd to have been eye.witnesses
It now transpires that there was no
foundation whatever for the accusa-
lions Of cruelty made against Sergeant
Tu!te and his associates.
The whole story originated in the
imagination OF some one interested in
sending out tho false information. its
only basis OF fact being visit to the
morgue by Mrs Wilhelm. where she
went at her own request in carriage
hired by herself. and was accompanied
by the detectives merely as guard
to see that she did not escape. or make
any attempt on her own life.
The Evening World was victlmized
by the false story. which was appar'
entity amply verified. and printed It In
full. At Sergeant Tuite's request a
thorough investigation has been made
snd the facts as above stated fully
vindicate him.
Sergeant Tuite has been a member
OF the Newark Police Department fol-
eleven years. and OF the detective force
for seven years, and his record is al
good as that Of any man on the detec
tive force. His most recent notable
achievement was the unearthing. with
