CARRY TRAFFIC. SMOOTHLY.
Was Object of Meeting Held by In
terstate Commerce Commissioners.

Washington, June 5.-To carry the
vast traffic of the continent more
smoothly, more eQuitably and with
less discrimination between localities
was the object of a hearing held at
the interstate commerce commission
in furtherance of the effort of the ma
tional association of railway commits
Sioners to bring about uniformity of
car service rules a code of rules ten
tatively agreed upon by committee
of which Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Franklin K. Lane is the
chairman was under discussion all
day.
To representatives of railway and
shippers organization present from
all parts of the United States Mr..
Lane said:
''I need not attempt to enlarge upon
the necessity for greater harmony in
car service rules. The condition OBJ
tanning is one of chaos. We are en-
deavoring to bring about order we
are seeking on behalf of all shippers an
avoidance of conditions which existed
two years ago and that obtained prac-
tically throughout the country-con-
ditions of car shortage which rose to
the dignity of a national calamity"
1t is expected that eventually a set
of rules will be prepared that gener-
ally will be reasonably satisfactory.

Growth of Railroads Related to
Welfare of Country.
A Phenomenal Development Is
Shown in Past Decade.
GROWTH IN ALL LINES
Mileage, Equipment and Total
Weight Of Engines Larger.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

In view of the fact that the welfare
of the country is SO intimately related
to the vast system of railways with
which it is covered. the annual statis-
tics of our railways, and a comparison
of these with the records of earlier
years, are of never-failing interest.
We have before US the railway statis-
ties of this country as prepared by
Mr.. Slason Thompson, of the bureau
of railway news and statistics, in
which the standing of our railways
for the year 1908 is compared with
their condition in the two previous
decades.
At the close of the fiscal year 1908.
the total number of miles of lines in
the United States was 100000, as
compared with 1858 in 1888 and
1s4.64S in 1898. The net capitalize
ton is $13, 00,007, 012, an Increase or
S9.S per cent over the figures OF 1888
The gross earnings for 1908 of ST.
448,S35,000 were nearly double those
of 1898. Ten years ago the total num-
Der of passengers carried one mile
was about 1873 billions. In ten years
time this has increased over 12O per
cent. reaching a total of 29.5 billions.
A marked increase has taken place in
freight traffic; for whereas the num-
Der of tons of freight carried one mile
in 1898 was over ia, 900, 600. last
year it was over 122, 00O,000,O00. The
passenger revenue per passenger mile,
which, in 1888 was 24.9 cents, in 1898
had decreased to 1878 cents and in
1908 to 1888 cents. In the decade
from 1888 to 1898 there was de-
crease in freight revenue from 10
cent per mile to 0.753 cent, at which
latter figure it also stood in 1908.
Very significant of the growth of
our railroads is the great increase in
the number and weight Of locomotives
and cars. Ten years ago the total
number of locomotives was 36,234-
During the last decade there has been
an increase of SIT per cent to a total
of 57,156 locomotives. Even more re
markable has been the increase Of
1853 per cent in the total weight Of
the LOGON olives. The number of pas
senger cars has increased from 3d.
$50 to 44,623. The number of freight
cars has risen from 1,24S,S26 to o.
13O,110. an increase of over 70 per
cent, but their capacity has increased
over 12O per cent from over $4,000
900 tons to over 100000 tons. In
1898 the total number of employees
was S74,55S. Last year the total was
1.451, 900. an increase in the ten years
Of over 81 per cent. During the year
there was paid out in compensation
to employees over 81. 1000, 100000. which
is an increase of 10 per cent over the
amount SO paid out in 1S98.-Scien-
tific American.

BUSINESS GROWING BETTER.
And Improvement of Equipment and
Track Follows.

Chicago, June General traffic
on eastern and western roads has in
creased so much during the last two
months that the majority of the rail-
roads have begun to make the i'm
provementS which We're planned for
the spring months, but which were
delayed on account of declining rev.
enues. The 1oad1ngs of most of the
roads during May showed an increase
over the previous month, together
with an increase of between 10 and
Is per cent over the corresponding
month last year. The improvement
has been general, with the result that
the work of laying renewal rails, bal
lasting and putting in new ties and
constructing additional track has be-
gun everywhere. Early in the spring
thousands of miles of new rails were
strung on almost every road in the
country to take care of the usual ere
newaF' work. 1t was expected that as
soon as the frost was out of the
ground the work of laying this vast
tonnage of steel rails would begin.
Orders were subsequently issued by
nearly every road in the country to
permit the rails to lie by the side of
the tracks until further orders.
Confidence has been restored, how

G. W. REED REPORTED DYING.
Victim of Auto Accident Six Weeks
Ago In Precarious Condition.

George W. Reed. a prominent mining
man and one of the early owners of
The Tribune, is reported TO be dying
at his home. ~ ] street as the result
OF injuries sustained in an automobile
accident six weeks ago. Members of
his family reported this morning that
Mr.. Reed was sinking rapidly and that
his physician, DR.. e. S. Wright, did not
expect him to live
Mr.. Reed, while returning to his home
about 5 o'clock on the afternoon of
Saturday. Oct 16, was struck down and
run over by a big automobile owned by
M. H. Walker. in South Temple street,
at Seventh East street The machine,
which was occupied by Mr.. Walkers
regular chauffeur, Mrs. Walker. her lit
tie daughter Glenn, and three or four
women friends, was going UP South
Temple street at a high rate of speed,
as Mr. Reed started across the street,
walking from the south to the north
side. Mr.. Reed. it is said. did not at
first hear the machine approaching.
on account of his deafness, but he saw
it when it was more than 100 feet dis
tant. and started back as fast as possi-
BILE toward the sidewalk. The chauffeur,
however, thought that Mr.. Reed would
keep on going across the street. and he
swerved his machine sharply to the
right Strlk1IlR tne d&eu HldIs duu Iuil-
ming directly over and against him. The
automobile was travelling at such a
terrific rate ofSspeed that Mr., Reed was
dragged about 40 feet before 1t could
be stopped. When the chauffeur final
ly brought the machine to a stand-stlll,
it was directly over Mr.. Reed. and it
was necessary to use a "5ack' to raise
the big auto before his body could be
extricated. He was found to be In
precarious condition. He received
numerous injuries, internal as we'll as
external. He suffered concusson of the
brain from a fracture OF the back Of
the skull. his scalp received severe
laceration, his hands were cut, his legs
were bruised, and he was badly
shocked,
DR.. E s. Wright, the family ply
sician, and three other doctors were
called Immediately For "a hours, fol-
lowing the accident, tile aged man was
delirious and unable to recognize mem
bers of his immediate family. How
ever, he recovered slightly in g. few
days, and it was hoped at that time
that his injuries would not result fatal
ly. Recently a change for the worse
set IN, and Mr.. Reed sank rapidly dur
ing the last "a hours.
