TREASURE SHIP LANDS
At BAR HARbOR
North German Lloyd Steamer krOn-
prinzessin Arrived Safely with SlO,-
OOOy000 in Gold

BAR HARBOR, ME, August 1.-The
North German Lloyd steamer kron-
prinzessn Cecilie, carrying more
than $10,000.0O in gold and whose
whereabouts has been more or less
of a mystery since she sailed from
New York last Tuesday, arrived in
the harbor here today
The Cecilie dropped anchor here at
6 o'clock this morning after a forced
run of four days, her officers fearing
capture.
With a cargo of ten millions in
gold and a million in silver, con-
signed to French and English bank
ers. with an estimated value of more
than five millions in herself, the
Kronprinzessin Cecilie has consti-
tuted probably the finest sea prize
ever open to capture. At $50 that
evening a special train from Bar Har-
Dor bore the first detachment of pas
sengers from the treasure ship. They
were travelling across Maine en- route
to New York.

what the railroad is. This means that
as preliminary to the work of valua.
ton every railroad must furnish the
Commission with maps and plans
which will identify its property. When
this work is completed, there will be
found in the office of the Commission
at Washington an accurate map and
| inventory of the property of every
ness as of June &c. 1914, together with
other maps and plans showing all
subsequent additions to the property.
This of itself is a work of great mag
nitude which must be done by the car
riers as part of the general under
taking.
when the Commission has been
furnished with this complete inveD
tory by a railroad it must proceed to
verify it; that is, it must ascertain
whether the facts stated in the in.
ventory are true. 1t must determine
IilC uuIllDCl VI ydldo vi tdl lllWO Tk,
the number of yards of rock, the cul-
verts, the tunnels, the bridges, togeth-
er with the character and cost of con-
struction. 1t has been decided that
this information cannot properly be
obtained without sending a surveying
party over every mile of the railroad.
ELEMENTS OF VALUE.
This work is often referred to as
a physical valuation of railways, and
most people probably understand
that this cost Of reproduction, with
or without depreciation, determine the
value of the railway SO that, having
ascertained and reported these facts
the duty of the Commission has been
discouraged. But this is by no means
true. Up to the present time the hold
ing of the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States is that cost of reproduction
new, or cost of reproduction less de-
probation. are only factors entering
other things have been enumerated by
that court as bearing upon the value
of the property. The valuation act it.
self requires the commission to ascer-
tain and report the cost of construc-
ton, the amount of money which has
been invested in the property, and the
sources from which that money has
been derived to give. in short, COM
plete corporate and financial history
of these properties; to take note OF
the earnings of the property, and hay
ing all these facts before it to deter
mine from a just consideration what
is the value of the property itself
am not saying that it may not finally
come to pass that the cost of repro
duction will be the controlling factor
many people SO insist. Others urge
with equal earnestness that the true
test of value. so far as it can b. as
certained, is the money invested in the
property.
THE first railroad which the conf
mission is proceeding to survey IN

is the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake, extending from San Pedro, CALI
