Bull Fighter Sustains Painful Wounds
 at Nuevo Laredo.

Laredo, Tex, Feb. 23.--In today's bull fight in Nueyo Laredo. Gaona, a world famous matador, had narrow escape from death. While goading the bull to madness with red flag, the animal made sudden lunge and caught Gaona with the edge of the horn, ripping the matadors clothing and cutting the skin on the left side of the breast just below the nipple. Had the blow been slightly more direct it would have resulted fatally.
 Gaona Is in the hospital tonight, where his painful but not serious wound is being treated.

Increase Of 1850 Miles of Track
Last Year.
Other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

Chicago, April THE seventh annual
report of the bureau of railway news
and statistics contains much of inter-
est, following year of many disputes
between the railroads and the Interstate
commerce commission. The following
information is taken from the report:
For the fiscal year transportation
revenues amounted to 81, ,7S7, ,266, 900; ope-
rating expenses to 81, ,S47, ,1S9, 900; taxes
TO $1O4, ,144, ,076, and income from oper-
alton 1901 ,542, ,S79.
An analysis of the business, according
10 the report, shows that instead of the
railway paying $405, ,131, $50 in dividends,
as stated in Commissioner Lanes de-
cision, only 1865 ,S74 could have been
paid out of transportation revenues, the
difference being paid out of the income
from other sources, such as interest
and dividends received from other rail-
ways.
There were operated total of 3S7, ,5S2
miles of track. of which 227, ,525 miles
was main line road. This was an in
crease of 4,250 miles for 1910.
June 30, 1910, there were 1854, 23S en-
ployees on all the roads, receiving for
the year 81, ,137 ,016, sos, or AZ per cent Of
the gross earnings. The average daily
pay increased during the past five
years from $2.07 to 1929.
During the year railways carried l.
$50, JOB 600 tons of freight, an average
of 146 miles per ton, far in excess OF
the figure for 1909.
Stress Is laid on the few accidents on
railways during the year.

NO KICK FROM LUAIBERSIEN.
New Diversion Privilege Cancellation
Is Not Felt.

Lincoln, Neb., April 7-IincOln whole.
sale lumber dealers say they have not
suffered from the effect of the cancella-
tion of the diversion privileges on lum-
ber shipped on the lines west of the
Missouri. Diversion privileges We're
cancelled by an order of the railroad
companies that went into effect Decem-
ber "a last. The only effect the order
IS having is that it compels buyers to
put in their orders about two weeks
earlier than they formerly had to.
Formerly retail dealers throughout the
state could order a car of lumber from
the wholesale dealer who might have
train load of lumber in transit on the
way from the mills to some point in the
state. When the order from the retail
er was received the Wholesale dealer
could wire the agent at the point to
which the train load of lumber was
billed and could there have one of the
cars diverted to the point from which
the order came and rebilled on
through rate. Under the new order the
retailer must get his order in In suf-
ficient time that the car can be billed
to him direct when it leaves the mills.
The new order saves the agents at tna
former diversion points a lot of work
and confusion. If for any reason 1t Is
necessary to change the billing on the
car the rate is increased. Billing Will
still be changed on the cars but the
change of billing does not give the
shipper the benefit of the through rate
all the way.

James showed that the Ell Reno
club was in arrears to him when he

that the action of the national board
