RAILROADS ARE BETWEEN
DEVIL AND DEEP SEA-
John Moody, Financial Expert, says
They Are Saving Nothing and
Must Raise Rates.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-"The railroads
of the United States are between the
Devil and the deep sea-" today declar-
ed John Moody, founder of Moody
Manual and regarded as one OF the
most expert financial students in the
world.
Moody was testifying before Presi-
dent Taft's commission, which Is in
vestigating government supervision of
railway securities. He was attacking
law now in existence under which
he said the interstate commerce COM
mission can force railroads to estab-
lish funds to keep pace with property
depreciation.
For instance" he said, "a railroad
buys an engine that will last 80 years.
The commission can force that rail-
road to put aside one-thirtieth OF the
cost of that engine each year, so that
when the engine is useless, there Will
be sufficient money on hand to re-
place IL. Such law, IL enforced would
bankrupt small railroads, embarrass
larger ones and seriously hamper the
work of even the greatest Only one
road, the Pennsylvania, tries to obey
the law and 1t Is getting into the
financial mire on that account.
AT present the roads are saving
nothing. They are using all their
earnings for dividends and buying
new equipment on credit, thereby
watering, or at least initiating the
value of their stocks"

PLENTY OF REAL COLOR
Mr.. Black, White, and Mr.. White,
Black, and Side OF Pork. Brown,
Figure In Lively Squabbie.

This yarn concerns White and
Black, so there is naturally lots OF
color In It, To begin with White is
black and Black is white.
Now that everything is thoroughly
understood and the two most import
ant parts of the color scheme proper
ly introduced, II might make things
easier for the reader TO know what
il Is all about.
Joseph Black. white, and Jacob
White. black, work at the stock yards.
Wednesday Blacl: gave White side
OF pork, somewhat brown. The pork,
IL appears, was considerably mIssed
up through much handling. White
tried 10 dispose or the offending pork
at John Garvey's place.
Garvey would have none OF II. and
White told him TO take IL gratis and
bury II some place. That's where the
police come IL. Officer Tubbs was the
man--William II. Tubbs-and he Is
just as rotund as the name implies.
Tubbs told Police Justice Jeffries
that White abused him something
shamefully Jacob l.. Walsh, an IN
spector for the board OF health, also
took a hand. His interest was chiefly
In the pork He says, with Tubbs,
that White Is no gentleman.
From Garvey's, the whole party
went In search of Mr.. Black, who was
known to have had possession OF the
pork at one time. Biac., objected
very strenuously TO being dragged
into the affair and said so in terms
that left no doubt as to his displeas-
ure.
The row became general and end
ed In the arrest of Black and White,
In the excitement, the fate OF the
side OF pork was forgotten.
Justice Jeffries sized the situation
IN and waved the entire delegation
out of court.
