ROADS MUST BE REASONABLE
Clifford Thorne Is Speaker Before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
in Powerful Argument Against the
Proposed Advance.

Washington, Jan. 20.-''No contro-
versy ever existed before when the
stake between opposing parties was
so huge as this one. measured by the
cold standard of dollars and cents"
Clifford Thorne, counsel for the
Meat Producers Association of the
Middle West, thus characterized the
inquiry before the interstate com
merce commission into the proposed
advance of freight rates.
Shippers and consumers want to
see the railroad companies grow and
prosper" he declared We are will
ing to be liberal in the truest sense,
but the charges exacted by the roads
must be reasonable.
IF you permit a slight increase in
either official classification territory
or in Western Trunk Line territory.

"The existing schedule of rates will
be adopted as reasonable scale, with

Mr.. Thorne said during the last ten
years the average market prices of
commodities, at Wholesale, had in
creased about II per cent, while the
average market prices of 40 transpor-
! tatfon companies increased los per
cent, which he held to be remark
able demonstration that the railroad
| business had been profitable.
Il have compiled the figures repre-
senting the net earnings of American
railways during the last 20 years, and
| after subtracting all operating ex-
| penses and all taxes, find that for
the year ending June 80, 1910, the
American railways had a net income
amounting to over $70,00O,00O greater
! than ever before in their entire his
tory.
4 4 find that the net earnings OF
American railways have not only in.
creased in gross, but they have in.
creased for, every train hauled one
mile and for every mile of railroad.
Credit of Carriers the Best.
As result of his Investigations Mr.
Thorne made these three assertions
Il. The credit of railway companies
4 is as good or better than that Of any
/ other class Of public service or indus
trial companies in the United States

above all operating expenses, and al
taxes, have been increasing steadily
during the last 20 years, and last yeal

SIZE OF WHALESA

Length Of the Biggest Ones and the
Height They Can Spout.
A government Official who has made
special study Of whales states that
the average length of a full grown
sulphur bottom whale IL just under
eighty feet. This estimate disregards
the exaggerated reports sometimes
spread by sailors and is based on
actual measurements Of many indi-
vidual specimens. There seem to be
credible accounts Of whales reaching
a length of from eishty-five to ninety
five feet, but the authority quoted has
never seen any Of that size.
Whales appear to grow with great
rapidly, the length Of yearlinss being
estimated at from thirty to thirty five
feet.
How high can whales spout1 Photo.

average spouts to a height Of only
fourteen feet, although occasionally
the height may be as much as twenty

Bending Of Great Guns.


Among the problems with which ar

Experiments have shown that wire
wound guns Of twelve inch caliber and
flfty feet length droop at the muzzle
about four and half minutes Of arc.
while built up solid guns Of the same
size droop about two and half min
utes. Differences Of temperature in
the body of the gun also cause bend.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF

Washington, April cs.-If conditions
are favorable the southern and far
western portions OF the United States
will be treated to a partial perform
ance by old Sol this afternoon when
he hides himself behind the moon. At
best, however, the view of the solar
eclipse will be very unsatisfactory
one so far as the North American con.
tinent Is concerned. As q partial
eclipse II will be visable In that part
Of the United States lying south of. a
Zine drawn from Cape Henlopen, on
the coast Of Delaware. to Astoria. Or.
eGon. On the Pacific coast the eclipse
begins ut about 3 p. m. Along the
eastern coast south OF Washington
there will be a very small partial
eclipse. the sun setting with the
England and throughout the Dominion
Of Canada the eclipse will be wholly
Invisible.
The path OF the tstai eclipse Is a
very large one, but II is wasted almost
wholly In the southern waters of the
Pacific ocean. extending from south
eastern Australia to Central America.
The only points on land where obser.
vations can be made are In the Sa-
moan and Friendly Islands, where to-
tality will last nearly five minutes.
The best points for the observation
Of this strangest of all heavenly phe-
nomena are the upraised cOrai-formed
islands known as the Vavau and To
fua Of the Samoan group. The hills
or mountain peaks there rise from
$500 to 1000 feet in the air from the
placid waters of the Pacific. On these
islands eminent groups OF scientists
cieties have set up instruments with
long. unpronouncable names for the
purpose Of taking observations Of the
eclipse. The Solar Physics Observa-
tory. ut South Kensington. England,
has sent to the island OF vavau an ex-
psdition headed by Sir Norman Lock
yer. Another notable party of German
scientists. headed by DIR. Wegener..
has established quarters on the is

During the few minutes of total
eclipse the scientists hope to obtain
photographs which will enable them
TO define at least two or three of the
uncertain chemical elements of the
sun. Il 10 known that there are sew
enty.five such elements: Of these six
~ have been detected and definitely

Heretofore II has almost always

the best instruments to the favorable
points OF observation. but today moro

The Gentry Bros. Show

With travelling cities. such as the
Gentry Brothers All New Feature
Shows are. there is an army of en-
ployes, Of whom the public sees moth
ing. These employees are entrusted
with the hotel work that is incumbent
upon an institution like the big Gen.
try Shows.
Cooks. walters and hotel car porters
are conspicuous about the show solely
because Of their absence from view.
While the multitudes. that attend the
worlds most classy animal exhibition.
are marveling at its wonders, this
corps of invisible, but never the less
valuable assistants, is busy making up
the beds in the Pullman train used
by the Gentry Brothers, or they are
busy preparing the meals for scores of
other employees who come in closer
touch with the public.
About the only thing in common to
the Broadway hotel that cannot be
found with the Gentry Brothers All
New Feature Shows is the telephone.
This adjunct however, is unnecessary.
Every employee in the big institution
knows his place and his duties.
Hence conversations during the day
are not needed.
With the arrival of Gentry Broth
ers All New Feature Shows in this
city Wednesday the hundreds who toll
in the cause of amusement will awake
to find waiting them a hearty break
fast of the best the market affords.
Then the army will journey to the
show grounds. A distinctive feature
of Gentry Brothers commissary de.
partment Is the fact that is buys as
largely as possible on local markets.
Hence the merchants of Richmond
may expect patronage from the
worlds greatest animal exhibition
when it comes to Richmond next We'd
