The statement follows:
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-05-04


Preliminary estimates OF q. gain Of four
TO five millions In cash this week were
not borne out by the statement OF the
conditions made by the. New York clear
ing house banks. and instead there was
decrease of $1,129. 900. The effect on
the banks reserves was offset, however.
by decline Of S7,953.o00 in the deposit
account, which cut reserve requirements
to a point below cash loss. resulting In
a nominal increase Of sS09,950 in the ex-
cess reserve. that Item standing now at
SIX, 1856. $50. The change In the loan item
was insignificant, showing contraction
OF only s24G.oOo. The above figures are
based on the statement OF the actual
condition. According TO the statement
Of averages, loans Increased $12o11, 900
and deposits ss.1ia,oOo, which, with. a
trfilng gain In cash, caused a reduction
OF $l032,6 600 In excess reserves The

An increase OF s26, ,52i.loo In deposits Is
revealed In the statement OF trust com

Have You Vertical Curves
In Your Proposed Line?

GVertical curves are frequently difficult
problem for the engineer to solve satisfac-
torily, and changes in the original survey
may be necessary in order to escape the ab-
rupt variations Of grade.
GMATHESON JOINT WROUGHT PIPE
solves these engineering problems, for it can
be laid in lines of irregular contour by max
ing part of the bend at each joint, even
when one end is three to four feet out of
alignment. In this manner the use of spe-
cial castings is eliminated, with resultant
saving of pipe and also considerable fric-
tional resistance.

company be annulled. The city con-
tends the local company forfeited it's
franchise when it ceased to manufac-
ture gas and began distributing natural
gas.
The company is now returning to
the manufacture of gas and the legal
proceeding, in an effort to force to ap-
ply for a new franchise that will be
more acceptable to the city, as under
the original grant it had no power to
fix rates.
Owing to the increasing shortage of
natural gas the local company has ar
ranged to return to the manufacture
of gas and has enlarged and re-equip-
ped its plant. 1t announces that man
ufactured gas will be turned into the
main when the supply of natural gas
is inadequate and that such maniac
tured gas as is used will be charged
for at the rate of one dollar a thou
sand feet regardless of the natural gas
rate. The city insists that the rate
for manufactured gas should be lower.

General Wood Favors Ma
tional Military Reserve.
Men to Receive So a Month in
Time of Peace.
ENDORSES THE TILSEN BILL
Would Commission 500 Second
Lieutenants Annually.
To Be Chosen From the Vari-
GUS Militia Schools.

Washington. Jan. I'm order that a
reasonably strong reserve may be es-
tablished in the United States with the
least possible delay, all men who have
served in the regular army, marine
corps, or militia, and are of proper age
and physically fit, should be authoriz-
ed to enlist at once in the reserve and
receive pay. in the opinion of Major
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff
of the army.
General Wood today endorsed the
bill introduced by Representative Til
sen of Connecticut, providing for a
national military reserve.
1.-THE reservist should receive 81 a
month while in reserve said General
Wood. land when called upon in war
should receive an amount equivalent
to 50 for each month he may have
served in the reserve. This would give
his family and would encourage men
to go into the reserve and to remain
in it.
1.-The necessity for providing a re-
serve of officers qualified to serve as
company officers of reserves of volun-
teers is also one of great Importance
and should receive serious attention. I
am of the opinion that it would be
practicable to select from the gradu-
ating classes of those militia schools
where we have army officers as mill
tary instructors, 500 men each year,
who should be commissioned as second
lieutenants in the regular army for one
year and to be discharged at the end
of that period with a certificate Of
proficiency, if they merit it,
By way of contrast with the United
States which has no reserves, General
Wood enumerates, the reserves in the
following countries:
Great Britain 215.O0o; Japan s., 900, 900;
Italy, 100000; Austria, $500 900;
France, 3,000,O00; Germany, 4,700,000;
Russia 5.400 O0O

To CLEAR CROSLEY
Inquest Opens New "Leads" on
LOuisburg Killing.
George V. McElheny Feared
Death Months Before Death.

Louisburg, Kan, Jan. 7.-Charles
H. Crosley, the station. agent here,
whose demand for an investigation of
the rumor connecting his name with
the murder of George V. McElheny,
the postmaster here, the night of Oc-
tober 4, was in a large measure re-
sponsible for the calling of an inquest,
was among the witnesses subpoenaed
for today. Members of Crosley's S
family including his wife, son and
daughter preceded him on the stand.
CroSley says he has little fear of the
outcome. He believes his alibi is COM
plete and the testimony of those in
his home the night of the murder in
dicate that it is. More than forty wit
nesses have been examined and in
spite of efforts to keep the proceed
ings secret it is known that much
testimony has been introduced point
ing to others than Crosley. In fact
three different leads have been fol-
lowed.
1t has developed that for six months
previous to his death McElheny had
lived in constant fear of an attack. So
far as is known he did not confide his
difficulties to anyone. A searching
investigation of his private affairs has
been made, but reason for his fears
has not been found. The inquest may
end late tonight.

Rock Island Introduces New
Mechanical Plan.
VIII Save Thousands Yearly
on Locomotive Operation.
SYSTEM ANNOUNCED HERE
Features From Office of Me-
chanical Supt. MuIIinix.
f. Connolly Appointed Super
visor of This Division.

plan that will reduce operating ex-
penses many thousand dollars each
year and a feature that never has been
attempted before on other railways in
this country is announced today from
the office of S. w. Mullinix. mechanical
superintendent of the Rock Island
, lines in Topeka. Mechanical Superin-
tendent Mullinix gives out the appoint
ment of supervisors of locomotive
operation on the second district and the
/ appointments ON other districts. These
new officials will have charge of en-
gine economies.
The new plan approved by w. J. Toll
lerton, general mechanical superintend-
ent includes the following appoint
ments:
III. Clever, superintendent locomotive
opera ton. Oklahoma divisions, Ell Reno,
Kansas division, Herington, Kansas.
r. E. Wallace, supervisor locomotive
operation, Chicago terminal and Illinois
division, Chicago.
G. s. Yeaton, supervisor locomotive
operation, Oklahoma diisions, Ell Reno,
Oklahoma.
S. 7. Patterson, supervisor locomotive
operation, Arkansas division, Little
Rock, Arkansas
J. L. Boyle, supervisor locomotive
operation, Nebraska division, Fairbury.
Reduce Operating Expenses.
On the Kansas division affecting the
operation of locomotives through To-
peka and this section of the district,
T. D. French. an engineer at Herring
ton, has been appointed to the position
of road foreman of equipment. This
position formerly was held by F. Con-
molly.
The new supervisors of locomotive
operation will have charge of the me-
chantcal operation of all engines in
service for the purpose of improving G
economies in the use of fuel, 1ubricat-
ing materials, tools and other supplies
and in the operation of the locomo-
tives.
His efforts will be directed toward
reducing the cost ofs>maintenance of
locomotives through improvements
that may be brought about by better
supervision and instruction of engine
men.
Railroad men say that more money
can be wasted and more money can
be saved in the operation of locomo-
tives than through any other one de-
partmenta1 work on the road. 1t is
the belief of w. j. Tollerton, general
mechanical superintendent, that the
new supervisor system will reduce this
expense. The newly appointed Off
cials will report directly to their mas
ter mechanics-the master mechanics
to the master superintendents and so
on to the head of the mechanical de-
partment.
The system is effective Immediately.

California OrchardiStS Lose
Millions of Dollars.
A Temperature of 10 Degrees
in the Citrus Belt.
HALF THE CROP is RUINED
Nearly 100 Carloads of Oil
Used Last Night
In an Effort to Ward Off the
Heavy Damage.

Los Angeles, Jan. 7.-Temperatures
from 4 to 8 degrees lower than Sun
day night were recorded last night,
blasting the hopes of orange and lem
on growers. Estimates of citrus
fru1t losses ranged from 10 to 80 mil
lion dollars today. Shippers said the
1913 crop of oranges and lemons
would be from ten to twenty thousand
car loads short
Last years crop netted growers
100000. Eleven millions went to
the railroads in freight and refrigera-
tor charges. At the beginning of the
season this years crop value was es-
timated at $50,00O,000 and according
to heads of various fruit associations
and firms, the damage done by the two
days freeze will amount to perhaps
half of the entire crop.
Nearly 100 car loads of oil, distil-
late and other fuels were used in
'-smudging'' last night. In Redlands,
the orchardists quit when the ther-
mometer showed 8 degrees. San Ber-
nardino was degrees lower and the
loss there may be fully $3,O00,OO0.
