GRADE CROSSING COST
TO PENNSY 90 MILLIONS
Other Items Involved in Three
States Laws.

PHILADELPHIA, May 17.-Com-
pilation has been made by the Penn
sylvania railroad of the probable cost
to the company of the recently en-
acted legislation governing railroad
operation in New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania the extra crew law
cost the Pennsylvania railroad $685..
0S5. and the. semi-monthly pay bill
will cost $275.O0O per year
In New York the extra crew. law
will cost $l91. 100 per year.
In New Jersey the grade crossing
bill il literally enforced would cost
the Pennsylvania railroad more than
$60,000,000. But aside from that, .the
semi-monthly pay bill in that State
costs $4,000, the extra crew law $219,-
$40 and the drinking water Law. $4,000
per year.
Thus the enacted legislation in
these three States. excluding the New
Jersey grade crossing bill. will cost
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
1.199,0S5 every year. This sum rep
resents the annual return at per
cent. upon nearly s24,o00,000 of capital.
The total expenditures by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company incurred
on account of new laws-federal and
State governing railroad affairs from
August l, 1906, to January l. 1913. was

BISHOP DOANE, OF
ALBANY, IS DEAD
Brother of Late Monsignor
Doane, Well Known Here,
Passes Away in New York.
(contInued from Flr.t Page.l


IN the matter of marriage and di-
Vorce, he occupied the Higher Church
position, but that he had sympathy
with the Low Church was Indicated
by the fact that in divorce agitation
he worked with the representatives of
other denominations Bishop Doane
insisted that the safety of the Amer
lean family lay in the absolute prohi-
bition of remarriage after divorce
Bishop Doane founded St. Agnes's
School for Girls in Albany and made
1t one of the most favored Episcopal
institutions of its kind in this coun-
try.
The bishop not infrequently wore
kniekerbockers, with black buttoned
jersey leggings, from below which the
tips of big silver buckles on broad and
low shoes could be seen. His hat had
the sides laced up, and when not
wearing an overeoat the hem of an
apron was visible. and from hisfneck
depended a pectoral cross.
In later years he showed his wide
sympatnies by admitting members of
other creeds to the sacrament Of the
Lords supper. This action provoked
much opposition from his church
During his travels abroad. it is said
he registered himself as william of
Albany" after the fashion of the
English bishops. His house in AL
bany bears the inscription Bishop
House"
Among the Institutions established
by Bishop Doane are the Child's Hos
pital and st. Margaret's House. on
the Corning Foundation of Christian
Work in Albany; the Church House.
in Troy; the Orphan House of the
Holy Saviour. in Cooperstown: the st.
Christian Home, in Saratoga, and the
st. Christopher Home, in East Line,
The bishop considered the crown of
ecclesiastical achievements the build
ing of the Cathedral of All Saints, in
Albany, the cornerstone of which was
laid on June 3, 1884.
The body was taken to Albany from
New York today.
