System of International Espionage.

The impending trial OF Mr.. Bertram
Stewart on a charge of espionage ard the
arrest Of DR.. Schultz at Plymouth have
turned the German press Oh the question
of International espionage. and incident

about Germany's efficient system of OBJ

Imaginative French alarmists one of
whom recently proved that Germany
spent many millions year on her spies.
The real truth IL that Germany spends
relatively little money on espionage but
that she gets uncof1monly good value.
The sum provided for secret purposes in
her budget is extremely small, and falls
far short of the S4..Go,CJp which thus
figures in Russia : budget.
An easy calculation shows that if the
average professional spy received only

But under the German budget system

is true IS shown by the fact that in nearly

NOT A PASSENGER
KILLED BY P R, R.
Wonderful Record for Past
Year-l36, 100000 Were
Transported.

Not a single passenger out of 1885,
100000 carried on the Pennsylvania
railroad in 1910 was killed in a train
accident. This is brought out in re-
port issued today by the local officials
of the company giving accident Stats
tics for the years 1908, 1909 and 1910,
for the Pennsylvania Railroad Lines
East of Pittsburg and Erie. These in
clude the Pennsylvania railroad prop
er. Philadelphia. Baltimore and Wash
ington railroad. Northern Central rail-
way, Cumberland Valley railroad.
Maryland. Delaware and Virginia rail-
way. Baltimore. Chesapeake and At
lantic railway. the West Jersey and
Seashore railroad, and the Long Island
railroad.
Combining the statistics for 1908,
1909 and 1910. it is shown that in that
time the number Of passengers car
ried on the lines East of Pittsburg and
Erie were 81, S5S,277-more than
four times as many people as there
one of them was killed as result of
a train wreck. In other words, the
chance of a passenger losing his life
in accident on the Pennsylvania rail
road was one out of about three hun
dred and seventy million.
This record of the Pennsylvania is
all the more remarkable as its bust
ness is heavier than that of any other
railroad Of the country which neces-
r;t hot -
trains than any other railroad and at
the same time enjoys an accident re-
cord which has not been equaled by
any Of the lines operating the same
mileage. The fact that the millions
of passengers carried on the Pennsy!-
vania railroad during the last three
years were handled with such safety
is made more significant by the fact
that along with the passenger trains
freight trains were operated for some
112,945,045 miles. The passenger
trains travelled 123,5S7,745 miles.
=. During 1910 the lines of the Pennsyl-
vana railroad East of Pittsburg car
| ried 14.1S0,22S more passengers than
in 1909. but the total number of pas
sengers injured in train accidents was
only eighty-four, or a reduction of eX-
actly fifty per cent. as compared with
| 1909. These figures include every
case requiring surgical or medical at
tention, however trivial. 1t will thus
appear that counting every personal
injury due to accidents to trains only
one person out of every 100000 pas
sengers carried was injured. The
number of passengers travelling dis
lance of one mile during 1910 was
practically three billion SO that for
each passenger carried one mile the
proportion was 100000 carried in
safety to one injured.
While the number of passengers
carried on the Pennsylvania railroad
proper in 1910 was ten and a half
million more than in 1909, there were
no collisions to passenger trains as
, against six the year before; on the
other roads combined there were only
two. There were fourteen derail-
ments less in 1910 on ali of the Lines
East of Pittsburg and Erie, as in 1909
there We're 217, of which 1911 were to
freight trains and in 1910 there were

A MOTOR SQuABBLE
Is Given an Airing in the
Circuit Court.

On cross complaint and by a counter
claim the George W. Davis Carriage
company of TINS city. also manufac-
turers of automobiles, claim the COM
pany has been damaged in the sum of
approximately $1,000 by the motors
supplied by the Beaver Manufacturing
company of Wisconsin, which COM
pany several weeks ago filed suit
against the local concern, demand on
account Sl.lHG.21.
In the cross complaint the local
company alleges it was furnished with
motors which were not perfect: mater
ial and workmanship. it being averred,
being defective. Some of the motors
furnished, the cross complainant al
leges. refused to operate and that fur
thermore the company had to give re-
bates to purchasers of its machines
because of these alleged inferior mo-
tors. Many motors, it is alleged, also
had TO be redrCSScd upon arrival here.
In answer to the cross complaint,
the complainant manufacturing COM
pany alleges that motors always have
to be timed and put IN condition be-
fore they will operate properly in ma
chimes and that as the Davis company
is comparatively new in the business
its lack of experience and skill in tim
and conditioning the motors was re-
sponsible for them not working. The
motor manufacturing company is one
of the largest i'll the world and de-
c;ares this Is the first time where trou-

complainant has arisen with their pro-

WOMEN FIND WREST-
LING A BEAUTY AID

Cambridge, Mass, March 1.-THE
latest recreative exercise among So
ciety women of the Bay state is wres-
ling. 1t is claimed that it promotes
beauty of figure and good health.
Many of the boudoirs of the smart set
are now the scenes of bouts and the
fad is expected TO become a wide
spread one.
Two of the most proficient among
the fair sex at the game in this vicin-
ity are Miss Olga Nelson and Miss
Helen Ward.
These two young women, tutuored
by the father of Miss Nelson, took up
the sport some years ago, as both
were in poor health. From sickly, an
emic girls they have developed into
marvels of strength and agility as we'll
as beauty of form. Their phsical mag
nificance has attracted the attention
of physical culture experts and athlet-
&c instructors throughout New Eng
land Both are now teaching society
women the sport and spend much time
in giving private exhibitions in the
homes of the social eclat.

1t may be taken for granted that

goes very long without needing lax
alive. If you don't know of a good
laxative, or the laxative you are using
is losing its effect, we want to call
your attention to DR.. Caldwells Syrup

are using successfully.
We have scores of letters from moth
er-, and scores from prominent men
saying they are using IL personally and
giving 1t to their families. men like Mr..

House. Pine Bluff. Ark, and NJ George
Ii. Turner, n lawyer of Harlan, Ky. The
thousands of mothers who use it them
selves and give ii to their children
would take too much space to mention.
The reason they prefer Syrup Pepsin
Is that II is mild. gentle laxative.
yet so mild that babies can take it. Its
tonic ingredientS invigorate the body
and strengthen the stomach and bow
ell muscles SO that they again do their
work naturally. If you have been a
victim of salts, pills and strong cathar-
ties you will discard them when you
once use Syrup Pepsin.
