RAILROAD HEAD
IS OPTIMISTIC
President Ripley of A., 7. & S. F.
Declares Present Situa-

EXPECTS LARGE BUSINESS
Unable to Decide Effects of Re-
cent Interstate Commerce
Commission Rate Raise
IAssooiated Pressl


NEW YORK, July S.-President q. r.
Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe does not hold the pessimistic
views which have lately been expressed
in railroad circles with regard to the
outlook for the future, with special
reference to the recent rate decisions
by the interstate commerce commission
Mr.. Ripley who is here to attend a
meeting today of the Atchison al
rectors, at which the quarterly stock
dividend will be declared, said last
night: -.
1.-THE situation, so far as the roads
are concerned, Is very satisfactory. Inc
crops in all the territory south OF the
north line in Nebraska are in good
condition. [ look forward to large
years business. In the Atchisons ter
ritory general business is increasing,
our gross earnings have increased
month by month.
Regarding net earnings 1t is more
difficult to express an opinion, for they
are subject to a number of factors
which cannot be definitely determined
at this time. Just what the effect OF
the recent rate decision of the inter
state commerce commission / am un-
able to say. l got the decision just
before leaving Chicago and l have not
done any figuring on it.
speaking for the Atchison itself l
should say that the effect will not be
very disastrous, but I cannot speak
authoritatively at this time. The. eff
feet of this decision itself is not SO
bad. but how far the precedent VIII
affect the situation in the future can
not be judged.
public sentiment in the southwest
is not so set against the railroads as
one wonld he led to believe from the
attitude of the representatives of that
section of the country"

SLEEPING MAN, RESCUED
FROM RIVER, A 1REsTEO
Curses Benefactor for Disturbing
SIumbers-UnabIe to Ac-
count for Predicament

NEW YORK, July S.-James Madden,
a young man of Brooklyn, was floating
down the North river after midnight
this morning enjoying cool and re-
freshing sleep, when the crew of the
tug Interstate sighted him. Naturally
thinking it to be a dead body they
thrust a boathook into Maddens body
and pulled him aboard. He was APP
parently unconscious at the time, but
Captain Morehead of the tug says that
Madden came to shortly before the tug
reached the pier and began to abuse
him for having spoiled his (Madden' s.
sleep. His language was so violent that
he was arrested.
In the night court this morning Mad
den said he had been riding on ferry
boat and had fallen asleep. He could
not remember how he came to be IN
the river. He said he had had just two
drinks before boarding the ferryboat.
Magistrate HERMAN fined the prls-
oner SO on the charge of intoXicatlon.
He said he did it to give Madden
chance to rest up.
Captain Morehead of the tug estl-
mates that Madden must have been IN
the river nearly two hours. How he
remained afloat so long is a mystery

GERMANS INTERESTED IN
RUSSO-JAPANESE PACT
Agreement May Mean Closing OF
the Open Door

BERLIN, July S-The liveliest in
terest is felt in official circles regard
ing the Russo-J Japanese agreement, the
text of which has not yet been for
warded to the German government.
The maintenance of the status quo,
which the agreement is ostensibly in
tended to secure, is considered most
desirable. The most delicate point in
the agreement refers, according to the
Frankfurter Zeitung, to the under
standing to acts actually on the de-
fensive against the intervention by
any third power in Manchuria, which
still belongs to China. The agreement,
therefore, cannot be directed against
China.
1t is pointed out that America OBJ
tanned from China concessions for the
Aigun- Chin Chow railroad, and the
question is now raised here whether
the agreement is intended to oppose
Americas unwelcome intrusion in the
Russo Japanese sphere of influence. If
so, the agreement is taken to mean the
closing of the open door.

RoosEvELT,s GREATEST GIFT

Mr.. Roosevelt may not know 1t. but he

other man of his time he possesses by intui-

pie; how to impress himself and that which
he stands for upon the masses; how "a
throw gamor over his name: how to SC
hypnotze the millions that things which
in others would seem commonplace, in him
reach in the popular esteem to the highest
level OF wisdom and patriotism.
