Good Outlook for Railway
Earnings in April.
Gain of ) Per Cent for First
Week in Month.
MONEY FOR REPAIR WORK
Roads Still Trying to Recover
From Winter Troubles.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Gross earnings of railroads promise
TO turn out well for the whole month
of April. Eighteen roads scattered over
the country have reported a gain in
their aggregate earnings for the second
week of the month of per cent. The
earnings f s. roads in the United
States for the first week have already
been published showing an increase fol
all of a trifie more than per cent.
The figures are not sufficiently COM
plete to warrant the inference that the
trend is downward, as their relation may
be altered on additional returns and the
difference is in any case slight. The
Mississippi river floods made themselves
felt more severely. in the second week,
not only on the roads directly affected
by high water, but on their connec-
lions as well. 1t happens that the roads
most seriously affected by the Suspen-
sion of mining in both hard and soft
coal fields do not make weekly returns.
For that reason the monthly state
ments for April, when they appear three
to six weeks hence, will probably not
make as high an average of excellence
as these weekly statements might lsaG
one to expect.
In the intervening time, however,
most of the statements for March are
TO appear and on account of general
expectation of the coal mining suspen-
sion and the general recovery from the
II eur u1Iy OpSIdl1 COlOllAOliSs d mum
Der of very favorable statements for
March will be made.
Tn outlook for the railroads in the
near future is rather obscure, Barring
the coal strikes the traffic prospect is
declared by most railroad men to be
good, but how net earnings are going
to come out is a more serious Ques-
ton. Repair work following the ex
traordinary winter will have to be
heavy. If the railroads get through
the pending wage controversy without
material concessions to the men they
will be fortunate, and this may be said
with full recognition of the unusually
determined stand the managers and
their superiorS have taken.
While the returns of numerous rail-
road systems, especially in the south
west, still show some falling off as COM
pared with last year, the loss is more
than Offset by the gains on others, so
that the total gross earnings of all
United States roads reporting to date
for the first week of April make a sat
1856 according to Dun'S Review, a gain
of 81 per cent as compared with the
earnings of the same roads for the
corresponding period a year ago. This
compares with gains of As per cent for
the first week in March and "A per
cent in February. In the following
table are given the gross earnings of
all United States roads reporting to
date for the first week of April and
the gain as compared with the earn
fngs of the same roads for the cores
practically the same roads for the same
time in the two preceding months, to-
gether with the percentages of gains
over last year:

we are making a test case of it,

HIGHEST IN 80 YEARS.
Price of Meat Makes Another Jump in
New York.

Price of Meat Makes Another Jump in
New York.
New York, April 30.-The wholesale
price of beef has advanced here a cent
pound to a higher record than any
year since 1881. A carcass of native
corn fed beef was quoted at Wallabout
market, in Brooklyn, at a top figure
of 10 cents, which, oldtimers agreed,
was the highest price in more than 80
years. Twenty-four cents for sirloin
steak; 20 to p cents for rib roasts; 80
to 80 cents for loin lamb chops; 18
cents for mutton shoulder chops; 20
to % cents for mutton loin chops, and
even salt meat sold at Is cents a
pound.
The wholesalers explanation for the
cause of high prices is the scarcity of
cattle, the cost of feed, especially corn,
and the fact that it is a between sea-
son period. It is also declared that 10
per cent of the stock of the west was
killed by the incessant cold of the past
winter. Wholesalers expect a further
advance and retailers declare them
selves much alarmed over the situa-
1fOn.

ROOSEVELT WINS
 TWO STATE PRIMARIES

Omaha, Neb., April %19,-Returns thus far indicate that Roosevelt is running ahead of Taft and La Fol lette for the republican presidential primary race.
 In the democratic contests the or der of preference is Clark, Harmon and Wilson. although the contest is closer between Clark and Harmon than between Roosevelt and Taft. While the foregoing is shown by the returns thus far received, the pre- cincts yet to hear from are so many that no safe prediction can be made as to the outcome.
 Also Wins Oregon.
 Portland, Ore. April Early re- turns in today's statewide presiden- tlal preference primary, though meager, indicate Colonel Roosevelt has carried the republican state pri- maries by something less than 5000 votes over President Taft Senator La Toilette is third.

 No returns have been received on the results of the democratic contest for presidential preference.

Defendants
MUSTGET THEMORSTAY IN JAIL
Federal Judge Anderson Administers a
Rebuke to Defense Counsel Hovey--
The Ruling of the Court Rela-
tive to Bondsmen.

indianapolis, Nov. 20--On the ground
that their present bonds, aggregating
$l05,000, were Unidentified and therefore
invalid, fourteen of the forty-fve de.
PENDANTS in the dynamite conspiracy
trial We're instructed by the court on
| Wednesday that within a reasonable
time" they must procure new bonds or
remain in Jail during the interval be.
tween sessions of the trial.
The court held that as it was on the
eve of holiday he would not enforce
his ruling Wednesday night.
Three other defendants-H Herbert S.
llockin, indianapolis, and James H. Ray,
Peoria, H., have been confined in the
county Jail in the custody OF federal Off
GERS for several days because they were
unable to furnish bonds aggregating
$4,000.
In the argument over the point, Fed
eral Judge Albert B. Anderson accused
Alfred r. Hovey of the defense's counsel
of being "insolent" to the court, add
ing ''if you repeat that offense I'll put
you where you will need some bonds"
At first, District Attorney Charles w.
Miller included Frank Ryan, president
of the International Association Of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. and
John b. Miller. vice-president of the
union, among those whose bonds, he said,
We're Unidentified, but later attorneys for
them announced indemnity had been
withdrawn and the bondsmen alone now
were responsible for the appearance OF
these particular defendants.
Judge Anderson ruled that bonds
man who was secured against liability
either by defendant or third person
had no interest whether the defendants
appeared and that Unidentified bonds

Coal Mined Less Than a Century.

The first mention of the occurrence of
coal in the United States, according to
the United States geological survey, is
made in the journal of Father Hennepin.
a French Jesuit missionary. who in 1879
recorded the site Of a "cole mine" on
Illinois river, near the present site Of
Ottawa, III. The first actual mining Of
coal was in the Richmond basin. Va,
about 20 years after Father Hennepin's
discovery in Illinois. but the first records
OF production from the Virginia mines
were for the year 1922 when. according
TO one authority, $4,000 tons were
mined. Ohio probably ranks second in
priority of production. as coal was dis
covered there in 1855. but the records
Of production date back only to 1898.
The mining of anthracite in Pcnnsylva-
MIA began about 1870. and il Is said that
in 1907, S. tons were shipped to Column
bia. Pa. Reports Of the anthracite coal
trade are usually begun with the wear
1870. when 3C5 long tons were shipped 10
from the Lehigh region.
Prior to this, hawever. in lsls. a ship
