Plans Great Library
Of Textbooks Here

II the efforts OF DR.. John d. wolcott
are successful in the next few years,
Washington will be able to boast Of the
largest library of special textbooks in
the country. II has been estimated at
the Bureau OF Education that there
have been in the neighborhood of one
million textbooks printed.
II have decided to establish an ad-
ditional library at the bureau" said
DR.. Wolcott, librarian. The library Will
be devoted simply to the collection and
preservation of textbooks. This spe-
cial library was founded three months
ago and already numbers 5000 volumes,
nearly all of which represent the volHn-
tary offering Of friends.
''Tf II were possible to assemble the
textbooks put out since the printers
began, the bureau would be the posses
sor of a library that would be half as
large as the Library of Congress"

RAILROADS SHARE
OF EXPRESS PROFITS
UNFAIR, HE ASSERTS
Union Pacific Official Says
Carries Do Not Get
Enough.

Although the express companies are
paying the railroads a much larger per-
centage of their receipts than in the
past, the roads are not yet receiving
fair compensation for their service
according to the testimony today in the
express company investigation by w. A.
| Worthington, assistant director of main
tenance and operation for the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Worthington's testimony Is the
hrst entered by the railroads in the
Commerce Commissions quiz into the
conduct of the express companies and
their relations with the roads.
= Other railroad men will follow MIR.
Worthington, and will also be quizzcd
on cross-examlnation by the commits
sion's lawyers as to the making of
contracts. just as express company Of
fcials were quizzed.
Mr.. Worthington came to the stand
armed with charts and tables of figures
as comprehensive and elaborate as any
which the lawyers for the commission
have offered, and these have been
voluminous. The most important of the
statistics offered by todaiy's principal
witness were figures furnished Post
master General Hitchcock at his request
by the roads, these tables dealing with
the space occupied on passenger trains
by passengers and their baggage, the
space occupied by mail matter, and ex-
press matter. The general inference
from the figures, Mr.. Worthington said
is that the railroads receive substantial
ly less for express matter in proportion
to space occupied than they get for
transportation of passengers and bag
gage.
Mr.. worthlngton's figures show that
the railroads get on an average 2l.12
cents for each car mile of express serv-
ice as compared with 2602 cents for each
car mile of passenger and baggage serv-
ice combined.
When 1t is considered said the wit
ness, that it Is generally believed By
railroad men that passenger service as
whole does not bear It's fair share of the
expenses, taxes, interest, and dividends
paid by the roads. and since compensa-
tion for express matter falls consider
ably short of paying for the space occu-
pied by this express matter. 1t Is cleal
that the express compensation is very
much below whas would he a fair coin

Ae a result of pulling a loaded
gun toward him the funeral of John
Borich, of Gilbert, was held on Mon
day, interment being made in the
Calvary cemetery in this city.

weapon after him, when something
caught the trigger and sent the full
charge into his body. 1t is said that
