Mr.. Brandeis Accepts Roads
Offer, But Declines Pay.
INSTRUCTION IN ECONOMY
Attorney Will Try to Show How
Large Sum Daily Can Be Saved.
CONFERENCES ARE SUGGESTED
Proposes in Letter That Presidents
of Eastern Railways Also Be
Invited to Attend.

Louis D. Brandeis. representing the
shippers before the interstate commerce
commission in the present rate hearing,
today replied to the telegram sent sew
eral days ago by western railroad presi-
dents asking him to name his salary if
he would consent to show them how to
save substantial portion of the million
dollars which he stated to the commission
was being wasted each twentyfour hours,
with an acceptance. He declares, how
ever. that he will accept no salary. add
ing that he is convinced the burden of in
creased rates ultimately will be borne in
large part by the consumer through in
creasng the cost of living. mainly of
those least able to bear the burden. and
that he desires that any aid he can rem
der in preventing such added burdens
shall be unpaid service. He suggests
conference with the railroad officials look
ing toward taking up the matter within
a very short time.
Mr. Brandeis' Letter.
The letter, which created much interest
at the offices of the interstate commerce
commission. bears date of today, and is
addressed to .. l.. Dickson, care Chi
cago. Burlington and Quincy Railroad.
Chicago. Ill. 1t follows:
Your telegram of the Sd. sent on be-
half of the western railroad presidents
to me, care of interstate commerce COM
mission. was not delivered until this
morning. owing to my absence in Boston.
You refer to the estimate quoted by
me that a million dollars day could be
saved in operating American railroads by
the introduction of scientific management
and say that If l can point out a prac-
tical way by which a substantial portion
of this amount can be saved several
tender me employment, allowing me TO
name my own salary. i am convinced
that such saving is possible through the
Introduction of scientific management
and shall be glad. as a public service,
to arrange for conferences with these
western presidents at an early date and
point out how scientific management will
accomplish these results. / suggest that
the eastern presidents be also invited
Il must decline to- accept any salary
or other compensation from the railroads
for the same reason that / have declined
compensation from the shipping organi-
cations whom l represent-namely. that
the burden of increased rates, while pri-
marily affecting the eastern manufac-
turers and merchants, will ultimately be
through increasing the cost of living,
mainly of those least able to bear added
burdens. I desire that any 3id l can
render in preventing such added burdens
shall be unpaid service. Kindly suggest
date and place for conferences.

During a sudden tempest in the Caspian
sea today a landing stage on which

Scores Of ships. several with their crews
on board, were sunk at their moorings at

Several towns along the coast were

No "Pork Barrel" Sign.

I'm making the present estimates on the
basis of an annual bill the chief of engi-
neers submits only the most needed i'm
provements and provides for minimum
appropriations. In other words, the chief
of engineers, in his annual report, just
issued, has laid the foundation for an
annual bill with the expectation that it
will be followed by bill next year. His
estimates, numbering 211 items, approx
mate $23 ,OOO. .OOO and authorizations to the
amount of about $30.OOO,O0O. Oneshalf OF
these items are for maintenance of COM
pleted projects, one-Quarter for prOsecut-
ing work already under way by govern
ment plant and hired labor and about
one-half of the remainder for complet
ing projects.
ut will be difficult to find in the pro-
posed bill any evidence of the so-ca1led
pork barrel or dribbling policy. 1t will
be purely a business measure based upon
the most careful work of the engineering
department and satisfactory to Congress,
it Is believed. because 1t will provide for
all of the projects which demand atten-
tion during the next fiscal year. 1t is
expected that the bill will carry approxi-
mately $3O.OOO,OO0. including authorize

Manhattan Opera House. after he had
announced that the receipts Of nearly
$750.000 had overbalanced to a con-
siderable extent the expenditures, was

been very unfortunate one, but
there have been deluge of musical eff
forts and surfeit OF grand opera.
While my losses have been enormous.

my adversaries have been much larger.
My efforts in the great cause. how

for next season the greatest and most

announced plans for similar structures.

When to a party ringing
She asked. What number please %
None heard but to admire her,
All hearts she held in thrall,
But, alas. they had to fire her,
For she wasn't five feet tall.
Her record showed them plainly
That she was most adept,
But, ah. she pleaded vainly
And then broke down and wept.
She wore high heels that made her
Much taller to the eye,
But at last her walk betrayed her
She wasn't five fee. high.
And so they sacked her, gasping,
And now there's in her place
A maid whose voice is rasping,
Who has a sour. dour face.
She's cross. she's rude, she's snappy.

But the company Is happy,
