and six children. you can understand why
Mr. Tumulty has a good deal OF human
nature about him. The way he handles
visitors at the White House indicates
that he Is free from the fey formality
sometimes assumed TO support secretarial
dignity He talks straight out. frankly
and freely. and the work which he began
with Woodrow Wilson rs Governor OF
New Jersey he is now carrying on well
with his chief in the Presidential chair.
Secretary Tumulty has little time for

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Tho complete statement Of United states
railroads making weekly reports shows
that the earnings Of all the leading sys-
toms are remarkably we'll sustained. the
total OF al returns received by "Dun,s Re
view" for the month OF MAY aggreSatng
ss7745.S46 a gain Of no less than So per
cent as compared with the earnings OF the
same roads FOR the corresponding period a
year ago. Very few roads make smaller
returns than IN 1912 and where these
occur they are insignificant and are prob
ably due 10 local causes. so that they do
not detract from the favorable comparl-
son as n whole. on the other hand, there
are many important systems which report
marked Improvement among them being
Louisville & Nashville whose earnings for
Nav are S379. OO4 larger than in the same
month last year. Mobile & Ohio sl5o,5S6;
Chicago & Alton. s20S,6S5; scaboard AIR
Line. s9l.364. Chicago, Indianapolis
Louisville. $4,000. 800" SS71.5t4, and
Central of Georgia. $500. These gains
are especially notable because I'm April
and IN March most OF these roads suffered
severely from the floods that occurred
throughout the districts they serve, and
the fact that their recovery has been so
prompt and so pronounced indicates very
clearly that conditions. so far as they
affect the railroads. are generally favor
able In the following table are given the
earnings Of all United States railroads re-

MONEY.

A most decided change came over the
money market during the week just end
ed. 1t was known generally that the
banks had plenty OF money for call loans.
but there was no demand, as the stock
market never requires funds during Pc
Rod Of liquidation and short selling The
banks had been accommodating funds from
the interior and this fact owing 10 the
decrease in stock market requirements
caused money to become a drug on the
market, and II required some stimula-
ton 10 bring about an interest and cor
rect the sentiment Of suspicion which was
growing that some Of the leading institu-
tons We're boarding funds unnecessarily.
On Wednesday call money broke on Of
ferings made by the National City Bank
and time money for short time require
ments was loaned more freely.
The local banks continued TO gain IN
cash during the week, which accentuated
the easier position OF funds, and with a
prospect Of about 100000 which the City
OF New York will obtain from the cor
poration tax, and which will probably be
put out in the call loan market, the out
look for temporary accommodations be-
tween now and fall is quite encouraging
Although call money ruled during the
week from ? per cent 10 2% per cent
loans were made as low as ~ per cent,
but the demand was not heavy. Time
money was neither active nor easy, but
offerings were more freely made than
during previous weeks for some time
past

best interests of all concerned. including
not only the railroad bOndholders, share
holders and employees. but also from the
standpoint of the manufacturer and con-
sumner. because in the last analysis Inc
consumer is the one who will ultimately
pay the freight.
Three years ago the commission salo
that the railroads had failed to estaDllsh
q necessity for increased revenue. he
lcvc that necessity is apparent to All az
the present time. They suggested thdl
the plan then proposed was not the rieh'
one and with that suggestion the rah-
roads now agree. and have proposed an
other method which seems under All the
circumstances to be fair and eduitaole'
It was also suggested that if the rates
were to be raised at all il should be done
when times were good, and upon the
whole business was never better than IL Is
at the present time
In this connection Mr. Willard eApialHeu
that II was now considered better TO o.
tain, if possible, the necessary ADVANCE
I'm rates by a percentage uniformly ap-
piled to all items, and while IT was De-
lieved. in view Of all the circumstances the
increase should be not less than ~ per
cent. desiring to obtain the necessary
relief in a manner that would cause the
least uossible disturbance Of existing COM
merciaI conditions, it was concluded TO
ask permission to make per cent ad-
vance only, and that should II develop
later on that the relief SO obtained was
not sufficient the matter could be gwen
further consideration in view OF condl-
tons then existing.
Mr. Willard then continued.
1T is believed that the increased rates
proposed are fair and reasonable when
considered in connection with the opera
ton and requirements OF the three rali-
roads-the New York Central, PennsyI-
yania and Baltimore & Ohio companies-
specifically referred to By the Interstate
Commerce Commission I'm its decision III
the 1910 rate case No. S,4Oo, and It is urged
that If the rates are reasonable when so
considered they ought not TO be withheld
simply because they might result In
greater earnings on the part OF some
other carrier than would be Justihed
when considered Of and by itself.
81 wish to say word with reference TO
the general railroad situation. There can
no longer be any doubt that the public
has ample and efficient machinery for the
thorough control and regulation of the
railroads. We not only have federal
commission in Washington which has
been granted the widest possible powers
to regulate and supervise, but we have
also commissions in nearly all OF the IN
dividual states, with powers relatively as
great as those delegated to the federal
body. The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is empowered to prescribe the man
ner I'm which the railroad accounts shall
be kept, even to the minutest detail and
the railroads are now keeping their ac-
counts in harmony with the requirements
of the commission. 1t Is also provided by
law. under penalty of heavy fine and i'm
prisonment. that no discrimination shall
be shown either with reference TO rates
paid or service given as between indi-
yiduals or communities
