WILL PREVENT WARS

Victor Berger, Leaving For Europe,
Diseloses Original Plan For lnsurins
Eternal Peace-ln Time Of War So
ciaiist Party Will. Strike and Aetiv-
tiles Will Cease.
New York, Aug. 10.-victor Berber,
the socialist leader OF Milwaukee,. is
sailing for europe today to attend the
International socialist congress in
Copenhagen next month. Berger has q
novel plan to insure the worlds peace.
He thinks 1t may be possible for the
socialist party to control the peace Of
the world by instituting an interna-
tional strike in time of war.
"The socialist party is the greatest
force in the world for international
peace" was the way Berger put 1t to
his interviewers before his departure,
For In case Of war between two coun-
tries, members Of the party in those
countries could strike and refuse to
take part in any way; for example. take
Germany and France. In those coun-
tries, the party numbers 2,500.0oo
members. This includes hundreds OF
Of soldiers. but most i'm
portant it contains workers on rail-
roads and all the allied trades. In case
of war, these people would strike. How
much Of modern war could there be
without the railroads."

ROOSEVELT DROPS LOEB.
May Back Pinchot For Governor o1
New York


Oyster Bay, N Y, Aug. 1O.-There is
likely to be some lively political de-
velepments here today, when Clifford
Pinchot and James r. Garfield come
for conference with Theodore Roose-
Welt.
After their departure it may be an
nounced that Mr. Pinchot is in the race
for governor of New York, with all
the influence of Colonel Roosevelt be-
hind him.
William Loeb. Jr.. collector of the
port OF New York and secretary to the
president during the Roosevelt regime,
was here last night. and 1t was made
known that his name Will not be pre-
sented to the republican state con-
vention for Nthe gubernatorial nomina-
ton. Up to quite recently Mr.. Loeb
was favored by his former chief as
candidate for governor. That was be-
fore the Ohio republican convention
crushed the aspirations Of Mr.. Garfield
Then some one suggested that Pin
chot Is the logical candidate.
Colonel Roosevelt at once saw that
by getting behind his former chief
forester and naming him for governor
he would be evening up things with
President Taft for the defeat Of Gar
field in the Ohio convention. Garfield
was crushed for his insurgent tend
encies, which after all is only an
other name for Roosevelt tendencies"
II there be any division in the degree
of yepulsion that the president holds
for both Garfield and Pinchot the most
OF 1t is probably in the scale against
Pincfot for stirring up the Ballinger
trouble. To see Pinchot nominated
for governor Of New York would in no
degree tighten the weight OF love for
him that burns in the vicinity of Bev-
erly.
Therefore the announcement that
Loeb Is not in the race and that Pin
chot is coming for conference to-
day is very significant to say the least
1t would surprise no one to hear in
day or two that Pinchot has agreed to
20 into the race for governor and at
the behest of Roosevelt at that
For the past two weeks there have
been no political visitors at Sycamore
Hill, and save for occasional chats at
his editorial office in New York with
men in public life. Colonel Roosevelt
has almost avoided politics. The re-
newal Of conferences of such nature
at Sycamore Hill is taken as an indi-
cation that the eX-president may be
preparing to engage more actively in
political affairs, state and national. al
tho he allowed no comment to escape
his lips yesterday.

Among Victims.
Cape May, N. j., Aug. 10.-Five per-

Of .ottnar Mensenthaler. inventor OF
the linotype machine.
The party had been spending q few
days at Atlantic City and yesterday
afternoon left for an automobile trip
to Cape May.
AS they approached the tracks the
fast running express was hidden from
view by corn field, and 1t was i'm
possible for the chauffeur to see the
train until he was within few feet
Of the tracks.
AS the automobile bore down toward
the tracks, Mrs. Thomas McNeill wlb
resides close to thee resstng, saw the
rapidly approaching express and waved
her hand for the automobile driver to
stop his car.
The man either did not see the dam
ger signal or thought that he could
cross the tracks before the train reach
ed him. and dashed on to the road just
as the train reached the crossing.
The express struck the automobile
squarely between the wheels and threw
1t and all of the occupants clear Of the
tracks. All five of the riders were in
stantly killed, and badly cut and

DENIES PADDING EXPENSES.
President Of Burlington System De-
fends Railroad Rookkeepina.


Chicago, Aug. 10-A denial that rail-
accounts in order to make their profits
are was made yesterday by President
Darius Miller, Of the Burlington.
Mr.. Millers statement came in an
swer to reports from Washington that
this practice by the railroads had been
railroad rate agitation.
''The report from Washinton printed
in Sunday mornings papers to the ef-
feet that the railways have been pad
ding their expense accounts in order
to make their profits seem small, is so
false and misleading that it requires
unqualified denial" said Mr.. Miller.
"It is true that operating expenses Gas
reported for the ten months ending
April 30, are much larger than those
reported for the corresponding ten
months OF the year previous. But this
is not due to the fact that the ac-
counts are padded. 1t is due to the
fact that we are actually spending
more money on the maintenance Of the
properties.
1.-The report from Washington called
particular attention to the increase in
the maintenance of way and structures
figures. If the figures for 1910 had
been compared with those for 1907, or
even with those for the panic year,
1905, they would have looked quite diff
ferent.
THE average amount per mile spent
by the railways of the United States
for maintenance Of way and structures
in 1907 was $3.50. In 1908 it was only
$1,423 and in 1909 it was only 1886.
These figures show that during the
period Of depression following the
panic Of 1907 the amount OF money
spent for padntenance Of way and
structures was not sufficient to keep
the roads in good physical condition,
and they are now forced not only to
spend enough adequately to maintain
the properties, but also enough in addi-
tion to make good the deterioration
that took place during the period Of
depression.
"It is quite true that there has been
a large increase in expenditures for
but 1t has not been as
large relatively as the figures given to
the newspapers Indicate.
