high Valley Railroad.

Trenton. \. J.. Feb. "a (SpeciaD.-Follow-
ing the announcement Of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Of its intention TO abandon the
Morris Canal. in this state. Vice-Chancellor
Stevens decided to-day that the title 10 the
big basin at the Jersey city terminal OF the
canal was vested in the state and not the
railroad company. He held that the state

was quoted as saying in Chicago:
I'VE had been confident of an increase.
This decision was entirely unexpected As
matters now stand. We will be unable to
nav the big Increases in wages and cost of
maintenance and equipment withour pres
ent earnings. 1t means a case of either
reducing wages or cutting dividends. our
earnings this year notwithstanding the
remarks of some OF the shippers. have
fallen OF considerably in comparison with
those OF 1910. In fact, with the constantly
increasing expenses. coupled with de-
creased earnings. We are much worse OF
than we were last year. We cannot con-
tinue 10 pay the present wages unless we
have an increase in earnings or freight
rates"
In the opinion of F. A Deano, president
of the Wabash Railroad Company. the rate
decision is a body blow to the railways, and
the shippers have obtained much more
than they had expected or actually wanted.
T. W. McKenna, vice-president OF the
st. Paul. said
Il believe the whole country expected
that authority would be given for sub
stantial advance IN rates by the railways.
There has been a movement all along the
line for an advance in wages by the rail-
roads II the railroads had not anticipated
substantial increases in rates these ad-
vances in wages would not have been
granted. and in this view they are worse
off than they were before the increases in
rates were requested"
&. G. Mccain, chairman Of the Trunk
Line Association, regards the rate decision
as a blow from which the roads will find It
hard 10 recover He does not think that il
will necessarily prevent the railroads from
going ahead with improvement and devel-
opment plans. but believes that il viii take
time TO determine whether IL will result in
a check 10 railway purchasing or will in
the long run stimulate business through
the certainty that the shippers will not
have to pay higher rates. Mr.. Mccain

Bankers Not So Pessimistic.

Anong prominent bankers the feeling
about the decision is much less pessimisic
than that expressed by the railway heads
one Of them said:
eve always ask for more than we can
get and the fact that the railroads did
not get what they asked for in this in
stance will not prevent them from con-
tinui-g TO do business just the same. The
earnings OF the railroads during the last
eight months show that they can get along
under the present rates. The effect Of the
decision upon European investors. how
ever. may be temporarily unfavorable, for
they will only see the fact that rate in
creases have been refused the railroads
and will pay no attention to the reasoning
upon which the refusal has been based"
Another well known banker said:
q think that the situation will work
itself out without any great hardship 70
the roads. The importance Of an increase
in freight rates. I think. has been exag-
gerated'
william A Nash. chairman Of the board
Of the Corn Exchange Bank, took the same
view. saying.
IT is difficult 10 determine n advance
what is likely 20 occur. But most of these
movements are like the swings Of the

After the young woman in pink had
lured the young man into a secluded
seat under the palms on the plea that
she was too tired to dance she talked
herself hoarse without being able to
start flow of conversation on his

The young woman in pink leaned

to conceal her gratified surprise.
What was it?" she murmured as she
sat up and regarded him confidingly.

girl in pink said, looking at him with
great seriousness, that you feel it

are to find a teacher who feels their
troubles and is willing to share
them. who understands their doubts

them. She is the social and intel

She starts a reading circle, spelling

TOM MUM BADLY HURT

sage did not state, but 1t is supposed
the accident happened yesterday. Mrs.
Clarke stated the bone had not been
set, and could not be for day or two
on account of his condition, which is
said to be critical.
His physicians seem to think there
are grave doubts of his complete re-
coyery, and think that if he does 1t
will be at least four months before
he Is able to leave his bed.
Tom Num- was reared in Bryan
from boyhood, married and reared his
family here. He was sheriff of Brazos
county for ten or fifteen years, and
was as popular man as ever lived in
the county. He left here a few years
ago to make his home in the west,
settling at Andrews, Andrews county.
His hundreds of old friends in Bryan
and Brazos county will deeply regret
