THIRD AVENUE ROADS VALUE.
Expert Appraises Tangible Property of
the Company at S3O,OO0,OOO Net.

More testimony was heard yesterday by
Milo B. Maltbie, of the Public Service
Commission, regarding the plan for the re-
organization of the Third Avenue Railroad
Henry Floy. d consulting engineer was
called for examination by William D. Guth-
rie. who with John NJ. Bowers repre-
sented the bondholders' committee Mr..
Floy said that he had made an eXamina-
tion of the physical properties of the COM
pany and found the following:
Thirty plots of real estate; thirty-fve
buildings; two power houses, with approx
mately 5000 horsepower, and seven sub
stations; 1,733 cars nearly all new; go
miles of single track and IS miles of ducts
Mr.. Floy's estimate of the reproduction
value of the foregoing was s46.500,o00, but
ne deducted s65o0,Oc0 for property not sub
ject to depreciation, which included real
estate. This left $40,0o0oO0 approximately
as Of property subject to depreciation. The
witness deducted $1000o.O00 as depreciation,
leaving $30,0000o0 as the present approx
mate value of the tangible property of the
company.
Mr.. Floy, reverting to his first figure,
said that he had made no estimate OF the
cost involved in starting a railroad system,
such as franchises, goodwill, working
capital or the cost of changing horse power

ONE ROAD HOLDS OUT
No Agreement Yet on Differ
entidl Rate Reduction.

A conference was held at the offices Of
the Trunk Line Association in this city
yesterday between representatives of the
all-rail and the rail-and-water lines to try
to reach an agreement for an adjustment
of the differential rate now in force. At
present the rail-and-water lines enjoy a
differential rate of 10 cents hundred
pounds over the all-rail lines. This rate
it is proposed to cut in two.
No decision in the matter was reached
at yesterdays meeting, and several more
conferences will have to be held, it was
said, before an agreement is reached. 1t
was said in authoritative quarters that all
the differential lines, with the exception OF
the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada and
the National Dispatch. operating by way
of New London over the Central Vermont.
had agreed to the reduction. 1t is gen
orally expected that sufficient pressure can
be brought 10 bear on this company 10
swing it into line.
over fifteen differential routes and dis
patch companies will be affected by the re-
duction and the beneficiarieS, of course,
will be the all-ran lines. as the reduction
will have the effect of throwing a certain
proportion of the heretofore rail-and-water
business over to them. The reduction, if
il is brought about will be great victory
for the trunk line roads. which have been
trying for years to bring about readjust-
nient of the differentiaI now enjoyed by the
rail-and-water lines.
What pressure has been brought to bear
against the latter to get them to agree to
the reduction is not known, but the move
ment is said 10 be only the opening wedge
of the general attack which is to be direct
ed against the differentiaI lines. The next
Il
differential now possessed by the South At
lantic and Gulf rail-and- water lines to
points on the Missouri River and to Colo
RADIO and Utah.
The New York. Ontario & Westerns diff
ferential. which amounts to approximately
one-half of that obtaining the rail-and-
water lines. is also to be wiped out, ii is
said. and that line put on the same footing
as the other all-rail lines.

the great public nature of the work. and
the only question which now remains re-
lates TO the Justice with which the problem
Is to be solved.
This problem has to be looked at from
everybodys point of view-from that of
the banker and investor as well as from
that OF the travelling public. While we
would not recommend policies which would
leopardize the soivenCy of what we had,
we are willing 10 go TO the utmost limit
for the benefit of the public. II is es-
pecially felt that. as the lessee of the city's
present subway, have a duty that we
must recognize. The bankers and the in
to interest capital, and after these condi
tions have been fulfilled the subsequent
profits should go back into the treasury of
the company, to the end that still further
facilities may be developed
Referring to the companys proposition,
submitted to the Public Service Commits
sion, to build new subways in sections. Mr.
Shonts said that the first section it would
build. provided it got permission to go
ahead would be that from Long Acre
Square to 34th street in order TO take care
of the passenger traffic which will develop
there as result of the opening of the
PENNSYLVANIA terminal The next step in
the development of the system, he said.
would be the construction Of a subway

Side on either Madison or Lexington ave

In regard TO the Borough of Queens, Mr..
ShoDts said that the company was offering
TO turn the Steinway tunnel over to the
city at cost and give scent fare to Man
haitian, with transfers in this borough and
10 second track the elevated on the Will
iamsburg Bridge. running a thorough SER
vice in connection with it on Second avenue.
I'm other Words he added. I'VE offer TO
double the present subway facilities and
give the people the benefit of it for the
same fare. We are now selling more trans
portation for nickel than a nickel will
buy anywhere else in the world, and we
offer to do twice as well by the people"
Acting Chairman William McCarroll of
the Public Service Commission, when shown
the statement made by Theodore P. Shonts
at the stockholders meeting to-day, said:
1t is true that the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company made application 10 the
Public Service Commission for permission
to make certain extensions of the subway
system and to third track its elevated lines.
The company, however, asked for the prtvi-
lege of making these extensions on its own
terms and not on terms which the Public
Service Commission thought would be for
the best interests of the city

HARD COAL BRIEF.
Filed By Government IN Its
PENNSYLVANIA Suit.

Philadelphia, Jan. 1S-The government $
brief in the hard coal suit was filed in the
United States Circuit Court here to-day by
William S. Gregg, special assistant to the
Attorney General. The suit was brought
in April. 1907.
The government contends that all the
defendants have long been parties to a
general combination and conspiracy which
stiles competition and obstructs trade and
commerce among the states in anthracite
coal and that they have monopolized the
trade.
The government asks the court to re-
strain and enjoin the alleged monopoly and
further to enjoin the defendants from
carrying out the contract with the So
called independent companies by which
the latter turn over their product to the
larger companies for 65 per cent OF the
tidewater selling price
The government contends that the stock
OF the New York, Susquehanna & Western
Railroad Company, owned by the Erie; the
stock of the Jersey Central owned by the
Reading company: the stock of the Temple
Iron Company. owned by several of the
defendants; the stock of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company and Delaware Valley &
Kingston Railroad Company. owned by the
Erie, and the stock of Cox Brothers &
Co., owned by the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company, was acquired in violation of the
antitrust act, under which the suit was
brought, and the court is asked to enjoin
the defendants from voting this stock or
from sharing in the dividends or other
profits of these companies.
In support of it's contention the govern
ment cites the decision in the Northern
Securities case and in the case of Swift &
Co agt. the United States.
The defendants have twenty days TO file
their briefs and argument will be heard be-

COTTON AT NEW LOW LEVEL
Extreme Drop of Nearly S4 Bale for
the Dav. Followed by Late Rally.

There was another severe break IN the
local cotton market yesterday, and 1t car
ried prices down to a new low level for the
year, May and July selling at sl3 so and
March at $13 81 7S TO 76 points below Mon
days close. a drop of nearly 81 bale
The decline was due to food of long
cotton deluging the market, which opened
weak and unsettled at a decline Of to 20
points from the preceding days close
The break began on selling by Southern
interests, which was thought TO be against
unhedged spot cotton, and this was fol-
lowed by heavy offerings of long cotton by
Wall Street and Western houses, which
carried prices with a rush TO well below
the "A cent mark. After this long cotton
had been liquidated prices rallied some
what from the low point. but the market
continued weak and unsettled until late in
the afternoon, when a better tone pre-
vailed.
In the last hour prices recovered from %
10 80 points OF their earlier loss, under the
influence OF large supporting orders. The
close was firm at a net decline of 20 to 46
points or 81 to 81 30 a bale. March closed
at s13 "a, up 80 points from its low figure for
the day: May at $l3 rs, up 2S points. and
July at S13 so, up 30 points.
TBy Telegraph to The TribuneI
New Orleans. Jan. B.-As the result of
what was said TO have been a drive by
bears against Southern spot holders, the
local future market dropped from 65 TO Il
points below yesterdays closing for the old
crop positions during the noon hour. The
recently formed bear clique in New York
was said TO be a heavy seller.
Frank B. Hayne denied to-day that he
has been in a joint buying campaign with
Patten and Scales, and said that If there
had been such combination he knew
nothing about il.
There is not a bale OF cotton that / own
or have owned this season that was not
individual property" said Mr.. Hayne.
THE present selling of cotton is throwing
f. overheard and giving it away. The
eWhole proposition resolves itself into =
campaign TO drive out the weak holders
and it is question OF who has the biggest
margin. The man who buys at the pres
ent prices has great opportunity. When
futures sell below spots there is bound to
be a reaction. and there was never a time
when there did not come a day OF reckon
ing"
Mr.. Hayne reaffirmed his recent state
ment that Scales had come out 5000. 900
ahead of the game

AS to Wives and Wallets.

Professor E. r. Blount of Chica-
go has debated the question as TO
whether a man should impose upon
his wife the duties of valet, and has
decided in the negative. Mo man,
says he, ought to make q valet OF
his wife, and that is what the majority
of men are doing" This question has
been taken up by English novelists,
who say they are surprised to learn
that such a condition exists in Ameri-
ca, but admit that the custom prevails
in England 1--WE have always under
stood" says one novelist, that the
American husband is entirely subser-
Went to his wife. Americans, however,
agree that the Englishman is too much
petted by his wife. In certain classes
in England this is not true. When a
man of this type marrieS he calls
upon his wife in every small dilemma.
She must sew on his buttons, ind his
collar button, brush his hat and coat,
and even open the front door for him. .

Fashion Notes.

Green is greatly in favor for even
ing weaf.
Both short waists and pointed bod.
ices are worn.
Cloth of silver and gold is the
foundation of many lace gowns.
Morning blouses are particularly at
tractive if made of striped or dotted
linen.
Very simple morning dresses Of all
white dimity are most satisfactory
hot weather possessions.
In green, blue and white. piece OF
printed chameleon foulard is one of
the expressions of the season s
changeable silks.
Soft satin is used for many of the
most charming afternoon gowns, the
very deep hem being one of the dis
tinguished features.
If the collarless gown is finished at
the neck with narrow gilt braid, a
simple twill of Valenciennes or some
ruching should be added.
CollaretteS are OF lace, Lulle, nanu-
embroidered linen or figure net. Some
have touches of black velvet in the
form of tiny bows on the front.
For children, the kimono frock is
solving the question of comfort and
of easy construction, for this new mo-
del buttons down each shoulder and
sleeve.
Square sailor collars of Irish Gro
chefs are somewhat newer than the
round Dutch collar. They will be worn
with some of the collarless wash
gowns.

the sleeves is one of the new features
Of frocks; This drapery Is rather diff
cult to arrange and not always becom'
