Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-G. B. White of
Nevada, Iowa, a member of the Corn
Belt Meat Producers association and
one of the witnesses for the shippers
in the movement against the proposed
freight rate increase, testified today
before the interstate commerce COM
mission. He asserted that he had ex-
amined the statistics presented by the
railroads and said
81 saw there a tendency to increase
or pad statements of operating eX-
penses out of all proportion. I do not
mean that any dishonesty was used,
but the maintenance charges have
been increased and show a CORE
spending decrease in revenue"
Mr.. White, who was the principal
witness in the afternoon session of the
commission, introduced a number of
statistical tables compiled by him
from railroad reports to the inter
state commerce rOr7-7'eei0n a"d 10
different state commissions. One of
his fluctuations gave Uue present Nalue

capitalization of $253,3918OO
GOVERNOR sTUBBs ATTENDS
The net operating income of the
road. the witness said, was $1G734OOO,
making the rate of return on the val
uation III per cent and on the net
capitalization 500 per cent. Other tab
ulatiOns We're presented to show that
the traffic of all the railroads in the
country had increased in density; that
the tonnage per mile had increased
also, and on four roads-the North
western, the Santa Fe, the Northern
Pacific and the Rock Island-there
had been a large increase in the MAIN
tenance expenses. In an analysis of
the gross earnings, the operating eX-
penses and the net earnings of all the
roads in the country since 1890. Mr..
White stated the net revenue of the
roads per mile in 1910 exceeded the
revenue in 1900 1925 per cent and 1910
exceeded 1890 in the net revenue per
mile 1886 per cent.

IS YEARS or SKIN DISEASE

"For sixteen long years l have been
suffering with a bad case of skin dis
ease. While a child there broke out a
red sore on the legs just in back Of
my knees. It waxed from bad to worse,
and at last I saw I had a bad skin
disease. l tried many widely known
doctors in different cities but to no
satisfactory result. The plague both
cred me more in warm weather than
in winter and being on my leg joints
it made it impossible for me to walk,
and l was forced to stay indoors in the
Warmest weather. My hopes Of recov-
cry were by this time spent. Sleepless
nights and restless days made life an
unbearable burden. At last I was
advised to try the Cuticura remedies
[Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills]
and I did not need more than trial
to convince me that I was on the road
of success this time. | bought two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies and
after these were gone I was a differ
ent man entirely. I am now the hap
piest man that there is at least one
true care for skin diseases. Leonard

however. In 1885 he was elected
sheriff and three years later was
chosen mayor, and was reelected in
1890. 1t was Mayor Grant who made
the telephone and telegraph compa-
MES take down their overhead wires.
The wires formed a network over the
city, interfering with firemen and
forming a danger and nuisance.
When the subways were ready and
the wires did not come down Mayor
Grant settled the controversy in a
characteristic way. He went out with
gangs Of linemen, laborers and axmen
and chopped down the poles and tore
down the wires.
In 1894 he was again a candidate
for mayor, but met with defeat at the
polls. He then withdrew from active
participation in politics.
Mayor Grant was man Of fine ply
steal proportions and was big intel
lectually. He was fond of outdoor life,
took a deep interest in trotting horses
and was a member Of several golf
clubs. He married a daughter Of ex-
Senator Murphy, of Troy. In business
he amassed a large fortune and was
charitable during his life in it's dis
position. At Christmas time he spent
large sums in charity. While Mayor
Grant like his great namesake, Gen.
Grant, was a man Of silence, he was
not in the least morose.
