Crimes Against Railroads
Increasing, Discovers
Tramps More Numerous-O ffenses Range From
Petty Larceny to Train Wrecking.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Crimes COM
Tnttted against railroads are increas-
ing, according 10 the annual report
of the police department of the Bal
timore and Ohio system, which shows
that 1929 arrests were made dur
ing 1913, as compared with 10,417 ar
rests during 1912. There were SAB
in 1913, while in 1912, the
number Of convictions was 6,5t5.
This increase In crime added mate
rally to the expense of the railroad
for doing business during the year.
The report of @. A. Ogline, super
intendent of police, covers all classes
Of criminal offenses, from petty lar
ceny and disorderly conduct to train
wrecking, highway robbery and muir
der. The most frequent offenders
were those who violated railroad
laws" for which 5000 arrests OF
tramps and others unlawfully using
the railroad property were made. Ar
rests for intoxication and disorder
numbered 2,526, with 1857 arrests for
larceny 176 for burglary and for
murder. For receiving goods stolen
from the railroads there were 81 ar
rests.
Commenting upon the large num-
Der of espassers-tramps and other
Migrants and loiterers about the rail-
road-Superintendent Ogline says:

New Haven Objects
To Phrase Yellow Dog
Use of Term In Connection With
Roads Expense Accounts Stirs
Attorneys Anger.

BOSTON, Feb. 14.-The use Of the
term yellow dog" created a stir az
the hearing before the Public Service
Commission into the New Ravens
other expenses" while Commissioned
Anderson was questioning the auditor
of disbursements for the railroad.
There was something said also about
the niger in the woodpile."
II was brought out in examination
by Commissioner Anderson, after the
danger to which the character Of the
New Haven would be exposed by the
use of those words had been pointed
out by Attorney Coolidge, that they
did not imply in any sense a suspi-
cion that the yellow dog" or Niger
were hidden anywhere in the book
keeping Of the New Haven, but that
the sole purpose Of the inquiry was
to see if the system of accounting pre-
scribed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission had any pockets where
persons or companies that were so
disposed could hide such creatures.
Mr.. Coolidge objected that the
newspaper men would see the useful
ness of these words for headline pur-
poses and would add another unwar-
ranted stain to the New Ravens rec
ord. The road has been on trial and
has been convicted, he said, by news
paper headlines because the general
public reads nothing but the headlines.

A. H. Smith, President of New
York Central Lines, Says Reg
uIation Commissions Benefit.

P1TTSBURG, Feb. 14.-That cov.
eminent commissions for railroad reg.
ulation and their investigation are
benefit was the declaration of A Fl
Smith, president of the New Yor,
Central lines, at the annual dinner NJ
the Society of Western Engineers
here o-ntght. Another speaker. Rear
Admiral s. A. Staunton, discussing
the navy, declared that the United
States should be the second naval
power instead of the third. THE navy
in order to be a national insurance
should be of adequate strength, and II
is not now of such strength" he said,
In expressing confidence in Gov.
eminent commissions as affecting ths
railroads, Mr.. Smith said:
There is criticism afoot that the
railroads have not used their money
tudiciously 1t is hard to indict tina
whole country or industry representa-
tive thereof. The efficiency and iii.
tegrity Of these railroads must be
judged by facts palpable to all-their
strength in heavy steel rails, good bal
last, steel cars, modern signal sys-
TENS and other appurtenances that
constitute a safe transportation ma
chine whose efficiency is proved by
paying the highest wages for services
rendered by its employees and fur
nishing transportation at the lowest
cost.
This is a simple problem. Those
who confuse it and complicate It
serve only to hide the truth In cs-
tablishing the commissions the people
have provided a means Of searching
out the facts and truth of the matter
in order that they, the people, may do
justice and right. The railroads have
hope and confidence in these bodies in
this work. BY their efforts to learn
and speak the whole truth of these
railroads they are bound to perpetu.
ate and enhance the confidence of the
people in these great properties and
to the end that they may grow and be
more and more serviceable to the ma.
ton and its people"

Publisher Opposes
Higher Postal Rate

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE pro-
posal to increase the postal rate on
second class mail-printed matter
from l cent to cents a pound was
opposed before the House Postoffice
Committee by Cyrus IL. Curtis. pres
ident of the Curtis Publishing Com
pany.
Sentiment in the committee was
plainly in favor of the increase in the
rate on magazines, and 1t is prob
able that a bill to provide for the in
crease, without affecting the newspa-
per rate, will soon be reported to the
House.
Mr.. Curtis was questioned at
length as TO the postal expenditures
and the advertising income of the
two magazines published by his COM
pany He said that both publications
paid about $780, 900 a year for post
age. which would be doubled if the
rate was increased.

Der killed per 1000 employed in and
about the coal mines of the principal

sive. These figures tell the frightfully
high death rate in and about the mines.
They tell, in plain language, the great
dangers that men employed at the mines
brave to earn a livelihood. They tell,
in language just as plain, that it is the
duty of all interested in the welfare of
humanity to do what they can TO re-
duce the death rate at the mines to the
lowest possible minimum.

GREAT BANKER BELIEVES

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Max May,
vice president OF the Guaranty Trust
Company, who is one Of the leading
authorities of the country on foreign
exchange and international money,
has expressed the opinion in letter
to Prince Poniatowski. Of the Banque
Privee, Paris. that the new currency
law should prove a powerful correct
i've of present erratic and haphazard
banking methods in this country. Mr..
May administers about one third of
the foreign exchange business Of the
country in directing the Guaranty
Trust Company's operations.
Our new banking and currency bill
rs undoubtedly a step in the right di-
rection," says Mr.. May. Given a
good board of governors to direct the
policy of the regional reserve banks
from Washington, fairly free from
political influences, II should prove a
powerful corrective from present
methods which are erratic, slipshod
and haphaEard, and gradually enable

However, when q final analysis is
