that long for him to demonstrate
his worth as player, for less than
a month after he donned q big

Philadelphia owner, turned down an
offer Of $1,000 for him made by
Charley Murphy, Of the Cubs. The
offer was made as a result of Rix-
ey's wonderful performance
against Chicago.
RiXey first attracted attention as
2 pitcher while a student Of the
University of Virginia. In one
game there he struck out Il men

Solves Great Problem

Chicago, ILL.,, January e.-Thomas
A. Edison, the inventor, declared
today that he had solved the
smoke problem for the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, After conference
with the officials OF the road, that
continued throughout the morning
Mr.. Ellison announced that an
agreement hal been reached where
by he would furnish three electric
motors Immediately for n test. At
the office OF the Illinois Central,
Mr.. Edison's statement was con-
firmej.
The three cars will be shipped to
Chicago mt once. The first test
will deal with the passenger prob
lem only. Later the freight prob
lem will be taken up. Mr.. Edison
declared that the new storage bat
terry which he had perfected would
pull forty loaded freight cars, and
with other equipment he HAD in
mind the pulling power would be
unlimited.
~ conferred with the Illinois Cen
trail officials" said Mr.. Edison at
the Blackstone, "and we reached an
agreement. There will be no dead
ly third rail. The trains will run
on the same tracks that r used
at present. The storage battery Ia
placed under each car and a speed
OF forty miles IN hour al be
maintained.
Officials OF the Illinois Central

presidents. These problems must
be settled by intelligent study, not
by bitter political campaigns. The
railroad officials will have to adj
init the right OF states to know
and study facts properly and in the
right spirit. The public will have
to admit the right OF railways to
reasonable profits, as well as their
right to rest their case upon facts
In sober tribunals and not upon
theories or the hasty judgment OF
state legislatures moved by polit-
ical feeling.
You can't reduce the revnues OF
a railroad by unfriendly legislation
and increase it's operating expenses
by the same power without wreck
ing II.
The administrative tribunals
which find It popular to regulate
railroads from a political point OF
view, owe Il not only to the coun-
try but to the railroads to grasp
the significance OF official
figures.
The rate making tribunal which
does not approach its task with
the same grave that chx-
acterizes careful railroad manage
ment Is destructive. Official regu-
lation OF railroads will be a curse
unless II considers its duty two
fold providing conditions under
which railroads can grow Is just as
important as providing for equit-
able rates and proper service.

without Gripping the industrial
progress Of the country.
