WANT SOME INFORMATION

Harry F. Newlin. OF No 1900 Jack
son street. in a letter to the Board
Of Public Utilities Commissioners,
read at the monthly meeting OF that
body yesterday afternoon. asks some
questions concerning the affairs Of
the former Wilmington City Railway
Company and the Wilmington e. Phil
adelphia Traction Company. He cites
that from information he has receiv-
ed there is a discrepancy somewhere
relative 10 the value of the railway
companys property and he requested
the board TO obtain from the company
statements of its earnings for the
past FIVE years. The letter. after be-
ing read, was ordered filed and the
railway company was directed TO
give the board the information desir-
ed by Mr. Newlin.
In addition to taking this action the
board also directed Secretary Bothum
TO notify the street railway compan-
les, the electric light and telephone
departments of the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company. and
the Delaware and Atlantic Telephone
and Telegraph Company, to answer a
series OF questions which are set
forth and pertain principally to the
business done by each concern. The
capitalization is required, total in
come. total operating expenses, total
taxes, total miles OF track and equip
ment, total dynamo capacity power
load and lighting load and number OF
telephones In operation. etc.
Mr. Newlin's letter which explains
itself, follows:
When a prominent Philadelphia
banking firm was offering for sale the
bonds OF the Wilmington and Edge
moor Electric Railway Company
(which bonds we're Internationally
guaranteed by the Wilmington City
Railway Company Il gave out the
following statement of the earnings
of the Wilmington City Railway Com
pany:

1907-Gross earnings. S530,0O4l4i
operating expenses. 1892, 250.49; net
earnings, S197 ,S1065; fixed charges,
$50. $50; net balance, S161, 56065.
This firm also stated that the net
balance was more than eight times
sufficient TO pay the interest charges
on the entire issue Of the Wilmington
and Edgemoor Electric Railway Com
pany bonds, amounting to 100000.

COLORS OF INTEREST ON NEW MODELS

NEW YORK, Aug. 24-Collars seem
to be sharing the interest of the
feminine world with draperies and
pleated skirts. The autumn fashions
will be picturesque because of the
very Frenchy cut of the neck Of
blouse or coat. The immense favor
with which the Robespierre collar
was received gave rise to great nc
tivity on the part of designers, and
many collars of which the great
statesman was wholly innocent are
covering themselves with the glory
Of his name. Some of them are more
akin to the neclIwear of the poets,
many modern gown being rem
lniscent of Lord Byron. of Keats or
Of Shelley. The evolution of the
idea mas even led to the temperance
of the stocks and folded neck-clotnes
of our American forhears. The Pill
grims and the Quakers, too, are again
on the scene with neckwear of the
stiffest and starchiest of linen, or the
iaintiest and most immaculate of
hemstitched and lace edged lawn. tx
aggeration will no doubt play havoc
with all these pretty fashions as it
has done with good ideas in the past

CORRECT STYLES
IN FOOTWEAR

The styles in shoes change from
season to season just as do the styles
in hats, clothing and other wearing
apparel At rare intervals a succeed
ing season will witness but slight
changes, but the we'll dressed men or
women carefully follow these changes.
An insight into the foot fashions for
the coming fall and winter may be of
interest. First and foremost. the but
ton shoe will be in greater favor,
both for men and women, than ever
before. These will be especially
strong favorites in gun metal calf
and tans Right here il might be
mentioned that these two feathers
will be seen in street shoes to the
practical exclusion of all others. Pa
tent leather, which has heretofore
been used in a measure for street
and business wear, will be reserved
solely for dress occasions. Men with
sensitive feet will find relief in soft
kid shoes. These are provided with
soles of good weight which protect the
feet and make the shoes serviceable
for the cold, stormy weather of the
Fall season.
There has been a slight modifioa-
toin in the young mems styles. The
short forepart shapes, which have a
tendency to make the foot look small
er have been retained, but the extreme
high toe and high heel has been sue
ceeded by toes of medium height and
heels which will average / 1-2 inches
in height.
Conservative business men have
been provided for with straight lace
models with low. receding toes. these
have the somewhat fat. easy ap
pearance Of the higher priced custom
models. For men of middle age Their,
is a perfectly straight last. with close
| ly trimmed edge and medium low
heel.
Men who appreciate foot comfor
will welcome the revival of the Or
thopedic shoe. This has maintained
its popularity for years. but this sea
