In the face &c conditions surrounding
railroad operations which many rail-
road men have been predicting would
embarrass the railroads, particularly
the weaker railroads., with which the
Erie was classed.
These conditions include the in
crease in wages which the railroads
had to grant this spring, and in an
other direction the closer regulation
of railroad affairs by the government.
which lately has prevented the appli-
cation of a general increase in freight
rates.
The rescuing of the Erie railroad
from impending receivership in the
spring of 1908 by the late e. H. Har-
rfman Is one of the spectacular
events in Wall street history, and al
ready the benefits the Erie railroad
has been deriving from its improve

POLICE HAVE MURDER THEORY.
Think They Have Clew to Identity of
Kingman Mans Assailant.

Kingman, Kan, Aug. 16.-Police here
are convinced that Richard Luther, who
died in a local hospital Saturday as the
result of a blow inflicted upon his head
and knife wounds on various parts OF
his body, was murdered by an enemy,
The authorities have in their possession
a bloody shirt found il the alley where
the assault upon Luther took place
They assert the owner of the shirt is
known. He is said to have purchased
a new garment to replace the bloody
enc shortly after the assault took place.
No witnesses to the assault have been
located. At $50 o'clock Friday night,
Luther suffering from many wounds
and bruises entered a drug store and
asked that a physician be called to at
tend to his injuries The physician
finding Luther's condition dangerous
sent the man to a hospital. He died the
next afternoon, having persistently re-
fused to disclose the identity of his as
sailant.
The affray somewhat resembled the
Cudahy-Lillis affair in Kansas City.
Besides the wound in the head, which
did not draw blood, Luther was badly
cut and blood streamed from a por-
ton of his body

sEvEN-DAY BRANCH SERVICE.
Union Pacific Is Planning on Sunday
Trains.

Salina, Kan, Aug. Let is now re-
ported that the inauguration of Sunday
service on the Plainville branch was
simply the beginning of a movement
by the Union Pacific to have Sunday
service on all its branches.
According to railroad men, the vari-
Gus other branches will begin a Sun
day service, one at a time, as fast as
the plans can be outlined. They have
it that the Sunday service will be in
augurated in the following order:
First, on the branch line running
north from Junction City.
Second. on the branch line running
north from Solomon.
Third, on the branch line running
north from Manhattan. known as the
Blue Valley branch.
Fourth, on the branch line running
south from Salina, known as the Nc
Pherson.
The railroad men say it will be some
months before the entire four remain
ing branches will see trains running on
Sunday.

ERIE EARNINGS.
Receivership Threatened in 1908
Now Shows Surplus.

The Erie railroad has issued its
statement for the year ended June
80. which is decidedly favorable in
comparison with reports for other
roads and in striking contrast with
the position of the Erie two years ago,
when the late E. H Hartman rescued
the road from an impending receiv-
ership.
For the past fiscal year the Erie
railroad, after providing for all its
fixed charges and after allowing sub
betterments, shows a surplus equiva-
lent to the full per cent on both
classes of the preferred stock and to
more than per cent on the $112,-
100000 of common stock. There was
large increase for the year in
the gross earnings of the prop
erty. which amounted to $54,S66,190
for the twelve months ended June 80
last. compared with $50.141,161 earned
during the previous year. The net
earnings showed an increase of $2,-
sources than operation an increase of
$1,095,614. Charges for interest, rent
ais, etc, showed an increase of only
$465,695. The net income showed the
large increase of $2.85S.839. The sum
left after meeting charges was $5,S06,-
SAB. and from this was deducted $751;
0S6 for additions and betterments,
compared with $381,926 similarly ex-
pended the previous year.
After these deductions there was left
S5,069,456, compared with $2,565,717
in 1908, while in 1909 there was a def
icit of $2,199,226. Compared then with
1908, the Erie shows a recovery of
$7,250,00O in surplus earnings.

NEW LINES IN OKLAHOMA.
Buffalo & Northern May Become Part
of the Frisco System.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug 16-The Buff

company has been organized by resi-
dents of Buffalo and other towns in
northwestern Oklahoma, with 100000
capital. to build a railroad east and
west through several counties in that

ROCK ISLAND INTO DENVER.
Denver Believes That Immediate En-
trance Is Assured.

Denver, Col, Aug. 16.-Belief that
the Rock Island railway will obtain a
direct entrance to this city over the
right of way owned for years by the
Colorado & Eastern railroad was
strengthened when William F: Have
meyer. the principal stakeholder of
the latter company, said on his arrival
that the proposed extension to Omaha
over a short route would be built in
the near future.
Rumor has been busy with the for
tunes of the twenty-mile line of the
Colorado & Eastern for many years,
emanating from Wall street strongly
intimated that the Rock Island had
purchased control, for the purpose of
contesting with the Gould system the
Western traffic centering here. These
reports have never been officially de-
MED, and the recent change in the
management of the Rock Island, by
which Kuhn-Loeb & Co. assumed the
financial reins from the Pierson syndi-
cate of England. has tended to con-
firm the belief that in the near future
the line would form part of a great
transcontinental system. touching Den
yer on the central Western section.
Mr.. Havemeyer was disposed to be
reticent about the future of his road,
but admitted that the directors had at
one time serious intentions Of building
a short line to Omaha.
"Plans had been matured and sur
veys made three years ago." he said,
"but the financial difficulties of that
year interviewed before contracts could
be let. There are no plans for the i'm
mediate construction of the Omaha
Short Line. 1t may be built later, but
that would depend entirely upon con-
ditions which no one can foresee.

MORE ON COST OF STEEL RAILS.
Aspects of the Reported Reduction in
Price This Week.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 16--Consider-
ably more Importance is being at
tached to the reported cut in steel
rails, for the benefit of a Western rail-
road, than is warranted. OF course,
there has been halo around the $2S
price for steel rails during the past
nine years, and during this period it
has been commonly supposed that the
price has been left untouched. In 1908,
however there were rumorS of conces-
sions, and it was openly stated that the
Hartman management secured rails
needed for it's Western Mexican extern
sion on a basis of $50 at the mill. This
order came under the category of ex-
port business. In the order at present
in question it is surmised that the Hill
nOiS Steel company, If the cut were
made, intended to serve notice for the
United States Steel corporation that
foreign makers will not be permitted
to sell rails within the boundary of the
United States.
The talk of a probable controversy
between European and American man
ufacturers over steel rails is considered
here as pure buncombe There is no
question that domestic mills need all
the orders they can secure. Produc-
ing capacity at the present time is
about double the actual operating ca
pacity of the past two years. Rail-
road requirements have been under
expectations, and the outlook just now
is not encouraging. There is really no
special reason why rails should be
maintained at $2S. Estimates on the
cost of production vary from around
SIC to about $40 per ton. A profit of
$3.50 per ton would, therefore, mean
321z per cent on the highest estimated
cost of rolling, which is decidedly
more than is realized in most enter

Mailed About Time Sensation
Was Being Planned.
Other Items of General Inter-
est to Kansas Readers.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 16.-Dr. Crippen,
who figures in the latest worldwide
murder sensation, has a correspondent
in Wichita. Two Of the doctors auto
graph letters were received from hi1n
about the time-early in June-when
the notorious physician was planning
all s-lis sensation. since aired before
the whole world on the front page of
reading matter The Wichita man who
received these two business or profess
sional letters is William C. Langdon,
proprietor of the Langdon Tent and
Awning company, 51S East Douglas
avenue.
The letters attest what press dis
patches early declared, that the emf.
nent physician is a discredited faker
Of rare and amazing audacity Early
in June Mr.. Langdon read an adver-
tisement in a Chicago paper placed
there by the "Aural Remedy company
London. England. 1t was a guaranteed
cure for deafness, of which Mr.. Lang
don is a slight sufferer. The ad plain
ly stated that there would be no
charges for a trial treatment. So. Mr..
Langdon wrote the company asking
for the trial treatment.
Back came a personal letter written
by the now world hunted physician,
charged Dy ScOIland 4ard with the
murder Of his wife, Belle Elmore, a
vaudeville artist.
The letter is signed in ink III. H.
Crippen, M D., consulting specialist

terms showing the various Ophthal-
mic colleges and hospitals DR.. Crippen
had practiced in. The stationery is a
f1amboyant affair, with the date line

In the second letter CMr. Langdon
did not answer the f1rst) DR.. Crippen
advises that by his treatment and
remedial appliances he had cured one
man totally deaf for So years. In the
first letter he enclosed a blank order
form, the remittance for the medicines
and outfit to be $780,. When Mr.. Lang
don did not answer nor remit the six
dollars then DR.. Crippen wrote him
again, making a special Offer of $780,
This ended the correspondence, as
Langdon did not reply to either letter,
since in the ad the firm" which
seems largely to have been Dr. H. n.
Crippen announced it would give
trial treatment free.

JOURNALISM AND THE FARMER
Newly Appointed Head of X. S. A. G..
Department Talks.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 16.-'The es-
adjustment of a department of indus
tr1a! journalism in the Kansas State
Agricultural college is simply another
step in the big movement of the farmer
to the front. The farmer keeps up with
his business nowadays as much as
any professional man. The farm jour-
nails and other industrials publications
He finds that often articles Of value
lose much of their force and fail to
convince because they have evidently
been written by some one who is either
short on knowledge of his subject or
ability to betray himself
In this way Charles ]. Dillon. of the
editorial staff of the Kansas City Star,
recently appointed head Of the new de-
partment in the K S. A. c., began an
explanation Of his plan for the work.
Mr.. Dillon will leave soon for a visit
to Columbia, Des Moines, Ames, Wis
consin and Chicago to ascertain the
needs of trade papers in the way of wri-
tiers.
What We want to do" he said, sis
to Introduce the use of newspaper Eng
lish into the office of trade papers.
Bulletins issued by the agricultural col
leges and by the agricultural depart
ment are often couched in such techni-
cal language that the average man is
bewildcred. We may through our stud
ents be able to remedy this situation
e.
THE new department will get out a
weekly paper to be called The Indus
trialist. The students will be given as
signments to write articles on any new
industrial idea that may expose Itself
within our reach. There are plenty of
subjects of wide interest that have been
neglected. Too little has been circu-
lated in Kansas concerning the indus
try Of dairying, for the other day I ran
across a man who is using ashes in
stead of sand in making of concrete.
He was saving money right along and
SO far as I can see the trade papers
have permitted the process to remain
his secret.
THE department also will conduct a
sort of news bureau. A clipped sheet
bearing all the little articles of inter
est in Kansas that we can gather UP
will be sent every week to every news
Paper in Kansas no matter how small.
1--WE want to have women in our
classes. The writer's ON housekeeping
are as much in demand as are those
who write on farming or engineering
subjects. I believe the farmers wife
would appreciate an Improvement in the
class Of household economy literature.
THESE plans are of necessity incom-
plete because departments of industrial
journalism are new and we can't go
much on precedent. Kansas as usual is
the pioneer"
