six Hundred Millions to Repro

CHICAGO, Aug. S0,--It would cost $579,-
100000 to reproduce the Santa Fe railroad
system, according to the testimony of Pres
ident Ripley, who was witness when the
Interstate Commerce commission rate hear
ing was resumed In the federal building to-
day.
The hearing is for the purpose of de-
termining the Justice or otherwise, of the
rate advance which the railroads have
scheduled for November l.
Answering questions put by Attorney
Frank Lyon, counsel for the commission,
Mr. Ripley made tbs statement of the cost
of reproducing his road.
He added that Approximately $45, COO 900
of the Investment. is ,repl esented by fran
chises.r He stated fpr the year 1910 the
road would pay $s0oQOOO for labor in ex-
cess OF the sum paid the previous year.
Attorney Clifford Thorne, representing
the lowe live stock shippers, ELECTED the
reply from Mr.. Ripley that the Investment
of the road per mile was greater now than
in 1897, in spite of the average investment
being reduced by many miles Of branch
roads which cost far less than the main
line roadway which should be greatly i'm

Mr.. Lyon took up the problem OF What
constitutes the proper factors in determin-
ing a Just rate President Ripley surprised
his hearers when he declared that in his
opinion that the cost of a railroad and its
capitalization should not enter into con-
sideration In determining rates. He de-
clared that there never was better rule
than the old and much abused one, "all
the traffic will bear"
"The value of the commodity handled

! The witness stated that of the money
! which returns to the public from the rail-
roads, GO per cent goes to labor. Mr.. Lyon
pressed him for an explanation. Mr.. Rip
ley replied that these expenditures do moi
wholly show in the list of wages paid or
his road for the reason that much con
struction work is done by contract. The
money reaches labor through the contrac

that Mr. Gompers criticised the court in his

were concerned. It's true, of course, that
the court has held that Gompers criti-

to aid the alleged boycott, which the court
had restrained. and in this, the Gompers'

COTTON MARKET is NERVOUS
Opening Figure is Twenty Cents ana
Prices Sell Off to Nineteen
and Three-Quarters.

NEW YORK, Aug. SO.-The cotton market
was nervous at the reopening this morning
and the first sale OF August at 20 cents or
% poins above the closing figures OF last
night strengthened the fee1ing that there
was still some short interests to cover.
Notices Of delivery, estimated at about
81 600 bales, we're circulated, however, and
scattering liquidation by traders on the
long side soon broke August to 1925 cents
or rs points from the opening figure. The
bi9 bulls seemed to be doing nothing what
ever Ia check this decline, and while August
later rallied to 1850 the trading in that
position was very quiet.
