RAILROADS HARD

SERIOUS NATURE POINTED OUT

New York, N. Y, Sept. IF. q.
Melcher, vice president of the Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific railroad in a
letter published here, calls attention
to the serious nature of pending rail-
way legislation intended To safeguard
employees and passengers. lie points
out, for example, that one bill intro
duced into Congress requiring all roads
to discard their wooden equipment
after January /, 1912, would cost the
railroad over $630.000,0OO. other bills
now pending would require the roads
to enlarge their clearances at n cost
OF $44,O00,000 and install universal
block signals at a cost of $3.50, 900, 900.
TO comply with these three laws
would call for the expenditure by the
railways of $1.S61 100000 This is ten
per cent of the net capitalization OF
all the roads I'm the United States,
which amounted to $14.33S,575, 900 at
the end of 1910

Naiser's Government Asks That Every

vantages are Sought.

Paris. Sept. 1.-THE nature of Ger
manys reply TO the French proposals
in the Moroccan affair has affected
French Government circles .unpIeas-
antly. Germany asks. It appears. that
every claim OF German subjects to
concessions In Morocco shall be rec
ognized by France and that no new en-
terprise shall be started under French
protection without being internation-
allied equally.
Tho claim of Germany subjects are
enormous. The German terms also ask
a free hand IN Morocco. with condi-
tons that would. according to the
French view, deprive France Of all her
advantages, and would give Germany
progress In Morocco beyond that OF
any power. even France. There seems
no likelihood of France accepting Ger
many's counter proposals.
