rectors of the Erie Railroad Company.

the bankers who usually handle the Erie's
financing.
The proceeds of the issue will be used in
carrying out the company's programme of
double tracking the entire line TO Chicago,
with additional tracks for various parts OF
the system. The plans contemplate six
track line from Jersey City to Ridgewood,
four tracks from that point 10 Port Jervis
and two tracks thence to Chicago, with in
termediate stretches Of third and fourth

thirty miles each. The line Is now double
tracked for practically the entire distance
from tdewater to Marion. Ohio.
The cost of the improvement is estimated
at about $4,000, 900, of which the part
needed above the proceeds Of the new s10.-
600. 900 note issue will be betrayed for cash
on hand and current earnings. This esti-
mated amount will include the cost of equip
ment of the new trackage with interlock-
ing switches. block signals, water supply
and other incidentals, and the work is ex-
peCted TO be finished in eighteen months or
two years.

ANOTHER CUTLERY SUIT
Government Seeks $685. $50 for
Alleged Duty Frauds.
KASTOR BROS. DEFENDANTS
Total Now Involved in Various
Actions 100000, and May
Soon Reach SIS, 100000.

The action Of the Treasury Department
begun last summer against frauds IN the
importation of German cutlery reached It's
climax yesterday, when Carl f. Whitney
Assistant United States Attorney, filed In
the federal District Court forfeiture suit
against the firm Of Adolph Kastor & Bros.
Of No 100 Duane street, for tho recovery cf
s693, 80. the value OF cutlery alleged to have
been imported irregularly by that firm.
With similar suit for over 100000
brought some weeks ago against krusius
Brothers, Of No. 296 Broadway, the amount
which the government has set out to re-
cover during the last year on its losses OF
duty on cutlery has exceeded SOOo,@O and
il was admitted yesterday by government
officials that this amount would soon reach
the 100000 mark.
The firm of Adolph Kastor & Bros. Is
composed of Adolph, Sigmund and August
Kastor The governments allegation Is
that all the cutlery imported by the firm
from Germany during 1910 was undervalued.
and therefore was subject to seizure As
the articles have passed into the commerce
Of the country, their value has been cstab-
lished from records at the Custom House.
The attention of the customs officials tow
ard possible irregularity in the importation
Of cutlery was directed for the first time
over a year ago by number Of American
manufacturers. who found that German
cutlery. in particular that coming from the
Solingen district. was sold here at retail ct
q much lower figure than the American
product Of similar quality. despite the fact
that there was a high tariff on the im-
ported cutlery.
For a long time the customs authorities
were unable 10 find proofs Of the alleged
practice, but finally they succeeded in I'M
plicating several Of the smaller importers.
This led them on to further activity, and
when it was found that no evidence could
be obtained here the Treasury Department
decided to seek for II in Germany
John T.. Wilkie. chief of the Secret Ser
vice, was sent 10 Songen, Germany, last
summer, and with several assistants went
over the whole field gathering information.
Mr. Wilkie returned in September, and his
report gave the government officials o basis
for more successful investigation.
The principal difficulty in obtaining evil
dence OF undervaluations of cutlery was
encountered by the officials through the
manner in which duty on cutlery was i'm
posed by the tariff of 1909. There are GER
tain arbitrary duty lines placing different
imposts on articles the value of which falls
within those lines. \ slight undcrvalua-
ton. in many instances involving a few
cents or less a dozen, means q saving IN
duty of from 50 TO 20 per cent.

LOSS TO THE RAILROADS
So Operating Officials Say Of Express
Business.

Washington, Feb Cooperating officials
Of railroads. testfying to-day i'll the Inter
state Commerce Commissions investigation
OF the express companies, said that the
railroads made no profit out of express
business.
James Peabody, staustician of the Santa
Fe system, said that for January. 1910,
there was an actual loss 10 his system on
express business Of slTi06.
Peabody insisted that the revenues of the
railroads from express business were In.
adequate. He objected TO a reduction of
express rates, because that would have a
tendency, he said. TO increase the ship
m.nt Of certain classes OF traffic by eX-
;ress. reduce the revenues of the railroads
from freight traffic and overload the
passenger service Of railroads, all of which
carry express service on passenger trains
This" said Mr. Peabody, 'is of serious
public concern. The present passenger
service of the railroads, especially in the
West. is fully loaded. and any increase will
cause either heavier outlay for performing
the service or a delay in the service,
either OF which Is not desirable"
