CLEARING HOUSE
FOR RAILROADS
Economy in Making Settle
mentS on InterIine Charges,
Car Repairs, etc

In a recent meeting Of the Society
Of Railway Financial Ofcers. in the
membership OF which 100 OF the lead
ing roads Of the United States and
Canada have representation it was de-
cided to establish the Railway Clear
ing House Of America" Its purpose
is to clear or settle with the payment
Of but little actual cash. all the bal
ances between railroad, steamship and
other companies now paid by draft.
The plan is in the hands of spe-
cial committee consisting Of Il. II. B.
Mcknight, treasurer Of the Pennsyl-
yania lines west, f. H. Hamilton,
treasurer Of the Frisco; ii. c. Ansley.
treasurer OF the Southern; Byron Cas-
sci. treasurer OF the MonOn; II. +.
Connor. treasurer Of the Pennsylvania
company, and w II. Davis. controller
of the Delaware L. Hudson.
The committee has reached the
conclusion that the proposition is
feasible and will assure economy in
making settlements, including inter-
line charges for repairs to cars, ex-
ltncto Ol lolhl ldtlllltHs diiblmthto
of pro-rata. share OF fares and mis-
cellaneous bills. This will reduce
the work of the accounting aud treas
ury departments.
Safeguards necessary to preclude
the possibility Of losses by the defal
cation Of an employe or the failure or
any road to pay its indebtedness to
the clearing house easily can be
provid d. The management will be in
the hands Of 13 directors. six of them
financial officers Of different systems,
six accounting officers and the other
the president of the society
The representatives Of one road 1g-
ures an annual saving Of from $4,000
TO $4,000 besides the elimination or
the drawing. recording and collecting
Of more than 5000 drafts every month.
Under present system one transporta-
ton company recently paid out S5S2,-
900 a. drafts in one month and re-
ceiyed checks and drafts aggregating
$4,000 The proposed clearing
house would have sent a draft for
$1,000 to the railroads creditors. AS
it is, banks paid $1,157O 900 in the
operation.
In America theer are nearly a thou
sand different transportation concerns
which may join the association. The
clearing house is likely TO be one Of
the largest financial institutions in
the world.

Is YEARS TO
MAKE GOOD,
FAILS; SUED

NEW YORK, Dec. 13--After wait
ing thirteen years for her husband TO
come up TO the mark which she set
Tor him. Mrs. Mary Baker Cleland. a
school teacher Of Essex, n. Y. has
brought suit against Charles Il. Cle-
land for the annulment of their mar
riage. As revealed i'm the complaint.
which was filed in the Kings County
Clerks Office. the schedule of the
courtship and marriage OF the Gle
lands was as follows:
Fell in love. 1894.
Engaged, 1894
Married. a. m. October 23. 1899.
Separated soon after lunch. October
%. 1899.
Began action for annulment, octo-
Der 20, 1912.
Mrs. Cleland alleges in her COM
plant that her husband made false
representations to her at the time Of
the marriage and that as result she
never lived with him. Her counsel.
Henry l.. Washburn. told the story Of
a long romance and years OF waiting
by a woman for country boy 10

Boy and Girl Romance.
Mr.. Cleland and Miss Baker grew
up in Essex. She was the daughter
Of well-to-do people. The youth pro-
posed marriage. Miss Baker declined
70 marry until the necessary means
were assured to provide for COM
Portable home. SO she went TO school
teaching while young Cleland set out
to make his fortune.
Eiu1fp~. a.rn,pu1afi,r, or .,,,-a.- ,4fr
ficult in Essex, Cleland decided to go
TO New York, believing money could
be obtained quicker there. In the
years that followed the couple kept
up continual affectionate correspon-
dence.
Money was slow in coming to him
and Cleland decided that he could
wait no longer. His messages became
more encouraging, and finally, accord
ing to her complaint, he wrote that he
had obtained the money she had
named as a minimum and that if Miss
Baker would come to New York and
marry him he would return and enter
business in the home town.
Miss Baker left Essex on an even
ing train. reached New York early in
the morning and went with Cleland 70
a Brooklyn parsonage. where the two
we're married at o'clock in the morn
ing.
Left Him After Few Hours.
Then they set out to see the city.
Before the day was over Mrs. Cleland
learned, her complaint says, that her
husbands representations about his
business had been false. and he had
neither the means nor the intention of
returning to the home town and
going into business there. She left
him, indignant at the alleged decep-
ton, Snd took the first train back TO
Essex, where she obtained her old po-
sition as school teacher.
Since then, according to Mr.. Wash
burn. Cleland, who lives in Brooklyn,
has become fairly prosperous, but his
wife has never returned to him. The
suit. the lawyer declares, is brought
with no animosity on either side.
Just an unfortunate mistake" he
said, (which we are trying to rectify
at this late date.
On neither side are charges OF in
fidelity made.

The practice of green manuring. or
blowing under Of certain green crops
especially for this purpose. Is one Of
the Oldest systems Of fertilization at
present in use, though In this section
only one or two particular crops have
been utilized for this purpose. While
It has been long known that the cow
pea and many other leguminoua plants
possessed in q most marked degree
the lacity Of collecting and as
similating large quantities Of the chief
fertilizing constituents, and particular
ly, nitrogen, nothing has been den
nitely known as to the causes under
lying their remarkable properties as
nitrogen collectors until within quite
recent years.
The amounts of nitrogen assimi-
lated by the pea and similar plants on
rather unfertile soils were frequently
so greatly out of proportion to the
available supplies of nitrogen In
these soils, that Investigators had for
years sought to determine whether or
not these plants possessed the power
Of assimilating the free nitrogen OF
the atmosphere. The researches and
experiments 6f a number Of German
Investigators, extending over long
period Of years, have shown that
leguminous plants are capable of TAX
ing ND and assimilating the nitrogen
of the atmosphere. and this property
is known to depend upon the pres
ence of bacteria OF minute micro
scopic forms of life. which are found
In tubercles or excresences occurring
quite profusely upon the roots of
thrifty and vigorous plants. and

Certain particular bacteria are
found to be peculiar to certain spe

soil destitute of the organism peculiar
to them are observed to have few Il

! BY adding to the soil IN question
small amounts of soil from land OF

It is we'll known that the progeny
from mature parents are superior to

Imagine my establishment and yexa-

ORIGIN or FAMOUS PHRASE
6eIlef that Common Political Term

Flynn generally -centrived to own

If he. could arrange for "a good thing
during his peregrinations throughout
the state.
The best of F1ynn's flyers was a
coal black stallion named Dusky Pete,
almost a thoroughbred and able to go
In the best of company.
One day Flynn visited town where
race meeting was in progress He
entered Pete. The people. knowing
nothing of the horses antecedents and
not being over impressed by his APP
pearance, backed the local favorite
heavily against the stranger.
Just as the beasts were being sad

Minamee, who was the oracle" oil

course and was made one OF the race
judges.
As he took his place on the stand ne

over the track the Judge instantly rec
