HE DENIES II.
Captain Agassiz Did Not Say Lust-
tania Was Chased.

New York, Aug. 6.-Though the
British consul refused to discuss 1t, a
report gained 1.-de circulation today
that Captain Agassiz, of the British
steamship Uranium, arriving here to-
day, had reported at the consulate
that wireless Messages intercepted by
his ship fror, the Cunarder I{ueitania
had stated that two German cruisers
chasing the Lusitania had been pur-
sued by British warships and sunk.
Captain Agassiz said he had made
no such statement and in this he was
borne out by officials of the Uranium
Line. 1t is known, however, that the
Lusitania has been lodging German
war vessels while racing for England
and the report that there had been an
engagement between British and Ger
man craft was received with some
credence

"Whcn one goes to the bank" we are
told. 'he obigates himself to the bank.
II may be only by n slip of paper for
payment of some dollars of money,
but there is danger it will not end
there" The inference is that when
one borrows money he assumes an OBJ
legation more than TO repay the prin-
cipal and interest. which is doubtless
often the case, but, assuming the ne
ceSsity of borrowing. ii is doubtful If
the transaction ordinarily creates as
much obligation to the bank as it does
to some accommodating friend. For a
bank the loaning of money constitutes

THE RAILROADS MONEY

Periodically some individual who
has made a study OF the railroad stu
alton in this country, usually from
tho railroad point of view comes
forth with an interview iii which he
declares that the transportation com
panies can not continue to do bust
ness in the face of continued at
tempts at regulation. The railroad
student declares that the govern
ment, though the interstate com
merce commission, is attempting not
only to regulate rates but that it is
interfering with the management in
restricting capitalization and limiting
the amounts for which properties
may be bonded.
In the face of the disclosures
brought out by the investigation OF
the affairs of the New Haven and the
recent announcement of the inter
state commerce commission that
syndicate has sucked $S,000000 out
of the st. Louis and San Francisco
road the man who advocates more
lenent policy in dealing with the
railroad corporations can hardly ex-
pect sympathetic hearing from the
general public
If the going is trifie hard for the
railroads at the present time the re-
sponsibility for it can be laid at the
doors of the men who have managed,
or rather manipulated, the finances
Of the different companies. Rail
road presidents and officers are not
all stock and money jugglers but The
men who are operating the proper
ties under their charge for the bene-
fit of the stockholders have to suffer
for the irregular methods of less
particular men in the same line OF
business. This is unfortunate. but
the law of cause and effect is the
same the world over.
When a railroad company protests
that it can not do business with a
lower freight rate one Is apt 20 r.,
call the millions made by Hartman
in ten years, the big fortunes accumu
lated by the Goulds and the Wander
blts and the more recent connection
of tho Morgan-Rockefelle- syndi-
cate with the New Haven road, II is
apparent that the railroads make
money for some one. If not for the
direct owners of the stock. The
question is how to di 'ect the profits
into the right pockets.

IS NO HURRY ABOUT
new CITY BUILDING
CHAIRMAN SEATON WILL NOT
CALL COMMITTEE TOGETHER
THIS WEEK.

Chairman Clarence A. Seaton. of
the Special Council Committee on'
Municipal Building. said last night he
did not expect to call that committee
together this week, to consider the re-
port OF consulting Architect Bosom.
When Mr.. Bosom took up the
work of examining the twelve sets
of plans on Friday, ne stated that 1t
would take him a week or ten days
to complete his examination. From
this statement Chairman seaton bases
his belief that there will be no oc-
casion to call the committee together
before early next week.
Council will meet next Monday
night in regular session. and II was
hoped the committee might have been
able to report at that meeting.
When the committee was named, ar
the suggestion of President Peters.
OF Common Council. 1t was explained
that the sum OF 100000 would be
sufficient to begin work with. The
committee hopes to hold the construc-
ton Of the building within this sum,
but it is generally believed the furn-
ishings and ''extras' may carry the
total cost to near the million dollar
mark.
Besides Chairman Seaton other
members OF the committee are. Presi-
dent Peters, President Adams. Alder.
man Grundy, Councilman Batkins and
Jones' and Alderman Powers.
