ELECTRICAL CARS
NEAR COMPLETION
Minor Parts Are Being Made at
Local Shops; Locomotives
to Come Next

Minor parts for the new Pennsyl-
cania Railroad electric cars are being
made at local shops. The cars which
will be used on the electrical branch
between Paoli and Philadelphia, are
being constructed at Altoona. Seven
of the cars are already completed and
twenty-eight will be ready for delivery
within another month. The contract
calls for ninety-two cars.
In addition to building electrical
equipment the shops will construct
three electric locomotives. 1t is eN-
peeted that the first of these engines
will be ready for a test early next year.
Special attention is being given one
engine to be run by electrical power to
be used on the big grade between AL
toona and Gallitzin.
Idle Cars Increase.-Freight cars are
going into shops or on side lines in
stead of being put into use. According
American Railway Association, there
were 1914 fewer freight cars oper-
ating on November 1 than on October
10. The net surplus of idle freight
cars on November L was 40, ,096, COM
pared with 151.9S2 on October Is. The
present surplus is the largest reported
for any like period since 1907. Last
year at this time there was n shortage
of 1,S42 cars; on November 81, 1912,
there was a shortage of 81 ,112 cars.

AUSTRIA SEEKS WAY
TO CONSTANTINOPLE.
Control of Railway Will
Give Germany Communi-
cation with Turkey.
tBy Cable n The Tribune.l

Athens, Dec. "A new phase OF the
war is developing in the Near East.
After capturing Belgrade, Austria is
now, in accordance with carefully laid
German plans, strongly reinforcing her
army in Servia and compelling the
Servians to withdraw in the direction
of Nish.
The Servian army is worn out, and
though still capable of considerable
resistance, will probably not be able
for long to hold the Austrian advance.
In the mean time, however, it is GER
tain that one of the objects IN the dis
patch of Austrian reinforcements 70
Seryia is TO obtain control of the rail-
way from Belgrade TO Sofia and Con-
stantinople, and thus allow free move
ment of troops and munitions in either
direction between Germany and Con-
stantinople.
As soon l. Austria has secured con-
troll of the Belgrade-So Railway she
will be in a position TO concentrate her
forces at such points as she chooses
on the main line through the Balkans
or, for that matter, to send troops to
Syria or to place Turkish troops in
France or Russia.

SEES HALF BILLION
ADDED To EXPORTS
u. S. Commerce Expert
Expects Big Gain if War
Lasts a Year.

Washington, Dec. 2.-0ne year of the
war in Europe will add s500,000,0 900 to
the foreign commerce Of the United
States, in the estimation Of Edward L.
Pratt, chief of the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. Mr.. Pratt
made this calculation after a study Of
the reports of American consuls and
commercial representatives abroad, Of
agents of his bureau in this country
and of the new orders for American
manufactures and products reported in
commercial periodicals,
Among the specific data upon which
he based his estimate is the report OF
]. Massel, special commercial agent
now on his way to South America to
study the machine tool market there
and prepare a review OF the needs OF
South American countries which VIII
be made available TO American manu-
facturers.
In preparation for his trip Massel
visited virtually every large manufact-
uring plant in the United States, and
found that the machine tool manufact-
uring companies alone had from SlO,-
1000 to S15,OOO,OOO in new orders
from European countries on their
books. One big plant, he said, had
enough work ahead of it 20 keep 1t IN
full operation twenty-four hours a day
for the next two years.
The first country among the belllger-
ents to seek the American machine
tool supply was Russia. Almost i'm
mediately after war was declared or
Gers from Russian houses were re-
ceived for lathes and machines OF all
kinds of a similar nature. That de-
mand has been growing steadily, pre-
sumably because of the fact that the
war had excluded Russia from her
usual source Of supply in Germany.
England and France now have Joined
in seeking American tools, and It Is in
dicated that the present supply cannot
meet the demands.
In reaching mis- estimate on the grand
total, Mr.. Pratt took into considera-
ton the enormous increase in Euro
pean bound food supplies since the war
began.

SHOT AS BURGLAR
IN FRIENDS HOUSE
Atlanta Puzzled by Case Called
Justifiable Homicide by
COroner's Jury.
lbs Telegraph to The Tribune ]

Atlanta. Dec. flames p. Galloway
was shot and killed by w. b. Carhart,
president Of the Carhart Shoe Manu-
featuring Company, in the Carhart
apartments early this morning, and
following the generation OF Carhart
by the coroner's jury this afternoon it
was announced by Major Frank f. Call
away, the slain mans brother. that he
would ask a further investigation of
the circumstances.
The jury rendered a verdict of justi-
fable homicide on the assertion Of Car
hart that he mistook Galloway for a
burglar. Carhart, Mrs. Carhart and
Galloway were intimate friends, and
Galloway was often visitor at the
Carhart home. They had all been at
a dance together last night.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carhart declare
that they cannot explain the presence
of Galloway in their apartment, which
is more than a mile from Galloway s
rooms, in Harris ST.
Mrs. CRrhart says that when she
stepped into the hallway and turned
on the light she saw a man in her sons
room, bending over the dresser, with
one of the drawers open. She adds
that she then ran back into Mr.. Car
harris room, crying that there was a
burglar in the house, and that that is
why the shooting occurred.
IL is not explained how Galloway en-
tered the Carhart home, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carhart and their maid are quoted as
saying that the doors and windows
were all locked and none OF them
shows any sign Of having been tam
pered with.

NO LARGE PROFITS
FOR GRAIN SHIPPERS
Owners of Cargoes Consigned to
Germany and Held Up Hold
False Hopes.

London, Dec 2.-The idea Of the
United States that American grain
shippers who consigned cargoes TO
German destinations Immediately be-
fore the outbreak Of the war will reap
large profits owing to the recent prize
court decision in the Miramichi case,
declaring that cargoes thus shipped in
good faith were still the property of
the shippers, is exaggerated.
It seems to be based on the fact
that the grain market to-day is higher
than the price at which the cargoes
were originally sold; but, in fact, the
cargoes were generally auctioned at a
market price as soon as they were
brought to the British ports, and sub
sequent litigation has been to deter
mine the disposition Of the proceeds.
In many cases this has netted shippers
some profit, but in other cases the re-
verse has happened, as the August
grain market was erratic.
".merican shippers will not make
large profits out of grain destined for
German merchants and brought into
British ports, but in virtually every
case they will do as well as il car
goes had gone through uninterrupted.
Interest upon the money held up three
months and court costs, which were
not allowed in the Miramichi case,
must be taken into account in esti-
mating any profits" is the way lead
ing admiralty solicitor summed up the
matter for the Tribune correspondent.

ITALY'S CRAVEST
MOMENT AT HAND
Parliament Meets To-day,
and Its Acts Must Decide
Attitude Toward War.

Rome, Dec. 1.-The Italian Parlls-
ment will reassemble tomorrow, and
its deliberations are awaited with
anxiety, as this is considered the
gravest moment for Italy since its
unifcation. Four hundred and fifty
deputies and 800 senators are already
in Rome TO attend the session.
Premier Salandrs, in presenting the
new Cabinet, will make a statement
concerning the ministerial policy. The
dominantly interesting passage will be
that dealing with the attitude Of Italy
with reference to the present Euro-
pean war, and the Premier will ex-
plain the reasons that actuated the
government in maintaining armed
and watchful neutrality" the object
OF which was to guarantee the SUI
preme interest Of Italy whenever
threatened.
The statement will contain an an
nouncement of the military and naval
preparations, for which almost $780,
100000 have been appropriated.
Il is expected that the deputies and
senators will unite in showing conf
dence in the Cabinet, with a view to
having the Italian Parliament give
evidence Of its solidarity before tho
foreign powers. Pressure in this d.
rection has been made on the Social
lists. who, in spite Of the exceptional
situation, may possibly show some OPP
position.

BRITAIN WILL AID
AMERICAN INDUSTRY
Restrictions on Exports
for u. S. Manufacturers
To Be Removed.
GOODS MUST NOT
REACH THE ENEMY
Government Must Be Assured
by Traders Before Permits
Are Issued.
by Cabl. to Tho Tribune. J

London. Dec. 1.-The Foreign Office
and the State Department are on the
eve of making an arrangement under
which the British government removes
under certain rules and regulations Its
recently imposed restrictions on the
expectation of certain articles from the
British Empire. The arrangement Will
be highly important to several Ameri-
can industries, which under present
conditions are unable to procure raw
material which is greatly needed IN
manufacturing.
The British list of expectation pro-
hibitions was issued on November IL
II included scores of articles, on some
Of which England or her colonies ex'
ercised almost a monopoly. This action
was found burdensome by American
manufacturers. Users of rubber, for
instance, faced great embarrass ment
One American rubber concern found II
impossible under this order to export
rubber from one of its own plantations
+
ufacturers also found need for British
magnetic ores, hematite and vanadlum
and other steel hardening metals which
hitherto had been British products
The order likewise cut of Australian
wool and interfered with trade between
London, the worlds greatest wool
market, and America.
The arrangement which has now been
virtually reached will provide for the
issuance of permits by the British gov
eminent for expectation Of certain arti-
cles much needed by American manu-
facturers. The government here is en-.
deavoring particularly TO prevent all
articles on the prohibited list from
reaching the enemy, as well as TO con-
serve England's own supply. Therefore
these permits will be issued only on
satisfactory assurance from the traders
desiring them that the materials Will
not reach the enemy. Traders and man
ufacturers will give such undertakings
TO the State Department, which will
forward them to the government here
Although the American government
will not act as guarantor for manu-
facturers in these cases, IL Will be the
vehicle of communication between
traders and manufacturers seeking per-
mits.
1t is hoped that this arrangement
will assist American industries, which
are greatly affected, according to rep
reservations made by the American
government to England. Negotiations
have been in progress for some time
The matter is now in the final stages
needing only Washington's approval.

TRAPPED SLEUTH
Several Heard Plot of Fox and
Son, According to Prose-
cutor's Allegations.

A detectaphone played a most i'm
portant part in the obtaining Of evil
dence against Sigmund Fox and his
son, Philip, who were arrested Tuesday
night on a charge of conspiracy, ac-
cording to Assistant District Attorney
Ellison. Sigmund Fox was a detective
on the staff of District Attorney Mar
tin of The Bronx, and Philip was for
merly employed by the Workmen's
Compensation Commission. They were
held by Magistrate Corrigan in $1,000
bail each for examination Friday.
1t is alleged Philip went TO the Office
of the United States Casualty Com
pany, and there made a proposition to
the manager, whereby he was TO sell
secret information of the Workmen's
Compensation Commission TO the COM
pany. After outlining his scheme at
some length he was told to return on
another day. Before his second visit,
however, the officials of the company
had retained the services of several
Burns detectives, who installed the de-
tectaphone.
Philip is alleged to have called at
the Offices and explained his scheme
eight times, and each time the entire
conversation was recorded. On the last
two occasions it is alleged that his
father accompanied him. 1t is also said
that Robert +. Bowling, the chairman
of the commission, and +. Spencer
Baldwin, manager of the State lnsur-

Philip, according to the information
which is to be presented TO the grand

BLAME ON KAISER
Germans Came to Regard War
of Expansion as Sacred,
Saws Professor.

DR.. Joseph McCabe, featuring at Co.
lumbia yesterday, said it would be child
ish to single out any one nation of
Europe and charge it with peculiar
malignancy of character, but a glance
over the literature of Europe helped
to discover the cause Of the war.
The literature of the majority of
European peoples was humanitarian.
Much of the literature Of France was
essentially opposed to war.
an England Sir Conan Doyle and
Professor Mcguire have sought to glo-
rify war, but neither had had the least
influence on national development,
while the feverish patriotism OF Kip
ling and Sir Gilbert Parker had ex-
pressiy aimed at defence only. Russia
had the massive peace work of Tolstol,
and the tendency of all her great writ
ers was humanitarian.
"The indictment was thus narrowed
10 Germany, but it was a fatal and un-
Just error to make this charge against
the character of the German Emperor
or the German people.
"The circumstance that her present
greatness was founded on the success
ful wars of Prussia formed a peculiar
temptation for Germany. She became
great by expansion and must expand
further. AS a result the middle class
of Germany had greeted war as sacred,
had excluded the moral law from poll
tics, and dreamed that God had given
Germany a special mission to raise the
rest of the world TO the height of its
'Kultur.'
1.-TWO months before the declaration
Of war by England speak from GER
tain personal knowledge of
the English army and navy were
warned to be ready" declared DR.. Nc
