Kronprinz Wilhelm
Sinks Indian Prince,
a British Steamer

Rio Janeiro, Sept. "a, via London,
Sept. "a, A. M. - The German steamer
Prussia has arrived at Santos and land
ed the master and fifteen men of the
British steamer Indian Prince, which
was sunk by the German auxiliarX,
cruiser. Kronprinz Wilhelm.
This is the first definite news NJ the
Kronprinz Wilhelm, North German
Lloyd liner, since she was reported as
having been seen transferring coal to
the German steamer Karlsruhe. in West
indian waters. British cruisers came up
while the transfer of the coal was in
progress and the Kronprinz Wilhelm
took to her heels while the Karlsruhe
and the British warships engaged In a
long range, running duel, which appears
to have been without serious results.
The Kronprinz Wilhelm sailed from
New York ostensibly for Bremen on Au-
gust 3. 1t was stated after her de-
parture that she had on board provis-
ions and a large store Of coal which 1t
was expected she would transfer to the
German cruisers operating in American
waters. The North German Lloyd Com
pany. however, denied the report that
her departure from New York the
whereabout of the Kronprinz Wilhelm
has been considerable of a mystery ex-
cept In one instance, when the British
cruisers reported that they had seen
her unloading coal at sea
The British steamer Indian Prince. a
vessel of 1.775 tons. sailed from Rio
Janeiro on August 25 for Port of Spain
and New York.

Steel Jobbers Doing Ten
Per Cent. of Normal Business

The Wall Street Journal has this to
say of the depression in the steel
trade: THE depression in the steel
trade is being felt by jobbers. who are
doing about 10 per cent. of their nor
NAL business One company which
specializes in railroad business reports
that not only are roads not buying
new materials. including machinery
and locomotive parts. but are putting
their engines in shape and white
leading them and storing them, as
they have no use for their entire
equipment at present. Machinery
markets are extremely dull. as all the
buying consists of parts for repairs.
The outlook for steel merchants is,
according to iobbers, worse than 1t
has been for fifteen years. with prices
showing a softening tendency. While
it Is not expected that prices will make
"a new low record before the end of
the year, 1t is not probable that they
will be increased much until the Eu-
ropean situation is cleared up to some
extent - '- -..

AWAIT BETTER TIMES
To START NEW TRAINS
Western Maryland Still on Econ
Omy Orders, but Hope For
Better Things
Special to The Telegraph

Hagerstown, Md. Sept. 25.-ProsA
perity is anxiously awaited here by the
Western Maryland Railroad officials in
order to put into effect plans for in
creased passenger and freight trafic.
In the words of one official. passenger
trains would not be running to and
from Harrisburg via of the Reading
lines, but for the business depres-
SION"
Schedules were worked out long
ago for through trains from Pittsburgh
via of Connellsville, this city and Har-
risburg. When hard times came the
plans were shelved. Economy is now
being practtced.
The strides made by the property in
recent months in developing operating
the one pleasing feature of the COM
panys statements. AS far as earnings
were concerned, the fiscal year was a
disastrous one. Gross fell off heav-
lily and the company reported a deficit
after all charges of over $2,500,000.
In March last. when the new man
agement took charge of the property,
the average freight train load was only
$50 tons. In July, last it was III
tons, an increase in five months of 27
per cent. Tons of freight carried per
locomotive mile show the remarkable
increase of So per cent. from 356 tons
in March to 541 in July, the locomo-
tive efficiency being half again as large
in July as in March. Average tons
per loaded freight car increased from
30.S7 to 32.65 tons.
Again big savings are shown in
helper engine service over the West
ern Maryland heavy grades The per-
centage of helper engine miles to
total train miles in March was 44.16
per cent, but in July it was only
27,S7 per cent. Earnings per freight
train mile in March We're $2,S66, but
in July they were $S,799. an increase
of over $32 per cent.
No Creosote For Cross-ties.-As a
result of the war in Europe there is
a shortage in this country of creosate
with which to treat the railroad cross
ties and bridge timbers. The railroad
ties that were treated in 1913 in the
United States numbered $4,000, 900, Of
which two-thirds were subjected to
the creosote method.
Railroad Appeal Denied.-The State
Supreme Court has denied the appeal
of the Pennsylvania Railroad to take
over the remaining property of the
PENNSYLVANIA Canal Company as pre-
ferred creditor. The appeal was taken
from a decision of Judge Ralston in
Common Pleas Court No. s.
The railroad sought to have inter-
est coupons which 1t had purchased as
they came due made a first lien on the
assets of the company ahead of the
first mortgage bonds.
