RETURNS OF RAILROADS
SHOW DECREASE IN NET
REVENUE IN NOVEMBER

Washington, Feb THE bureau of
railroad economies has issued the fol-
lowing analysis of the revenues and
expenses of the railroads during No
vember, 1911:
Returns for November, 1911, reduced
eo a per mile basis show decreases
when compared with the returns of
November, 1910. Net operating revenue
per mile. which is total operating ex-
penses per mile. decreased SIG. or AZ
per cent. from November, 1910. The
net operating revenue per mile for No
vember 1910, was 1913 per cent less
than for November. 1909.
The railways whose returns are in
cluded in this bulletin operate 222. 900
miles of line, or about 90 per cent of all
the steam railway mileage in the Unit =
ed States. The total operating rev.
enues for the month OF November. 1911
amounted TO s23i,S54,512. This In
cludes revenues from freight and pas
senger traffic, from carrying mail and
express. and from miscellaneous
sources. Compared with November.
1910. the total operating revenues OF
these railways show a decrease of ST.
335.425. Operating revenues per mile
OF line amounted to $1,O54 i'm Novem-
Der. 1910. n decrease for 199 OF SIS, or
16 per cent. This shows that the de-
crease I'm operating revenues resulted
from decreases both I'm freight and i'm
passenger revenues.
Operating expenses, which include
all the costs Of maintaining track and
equipment operating trains, securing
traffic and OF administration, amount
ed to S157.591.429. This was S1.261,-
AL more than for November 1910.
That this increase was due exclusive
ly to the increase i'm mileage of these
roads I'm 1911. as compared with 1910,
Is proven by the fact that when re-
duced to a per mile basis for the two
years operating expenses show de-
crease. Thus operating expenses per
mile of line amounted To $707 i'm No
vembcr, 1911, and $709 i'm November.
1910. decrease for 1911 Of 50 per mile.

expenses an increase or 80 cents per-

Five men We're engaged in the hold
up and it was SO cleverly planned
and executed with such precision that
none Of the train employees could offer
resistance and few passengers knew
anything had happened until they
awoke to find their train stalled.
The train left Memphis about mid
night. After IL cleared the western
terminus Of the Mississippi River
bridge, it was boarded by two masked
men. They climbed over the tender
TO cover the engine crew with guns and
the train was halted. The engineer
was bound and gagged and thrown of
into the ditch. The fireman ran the
train several miles until il was sig
nailed to halt at camp fire along
the side of the track where the three
other bandits waited. Here the bag
gage and mail cars were detached from
the passenger coaches and rushed to
a point a mile east of HuIburt. one OF
the bandits guarded the fireman while
the remaining four clambered into the
express and mail coaches. held up the

postal car, blew open the Wells. Far

had been cut and the robbers had a
good start before an alarm was given.
The first intimation Of the robbery.
came 20 the employees Of the Rock ISL
and at the western terminus Of the
Mississippi river bridge. They heard
heavy detonations apparently from a
point far in the country. Tho racket
was made by explosions Of ammuni-
ton that was destroyed when the COM
bination baggage and express car
burned after the safe had been blasted.
Recalling last November's hold-up
near Hulburt. the Rock Island en-
ployes sent in a hurry call to the Mem
phis police. a switch engine was
manned by posse, but long before
they reached the hold-up scene the
robbers had vanished into the darkness
in a nearby wood.

At noon it was reported that money
consigned 10 a bank in oklahoma.
$50 600 to $4,000 had been taken from
