Des Moines, March 4.-Homer Miller,

Northwestern railroad, does not fully

Miller says that business is not nor

enough visible Improvement to make
it safe to say that business, will grow
better as the weeks pass by" He says
the sentiment grows more wholesome
each week and confidence has been
steadily gaining.

ings declined for a considerable pc
riod and now gross earnings have been
declining. The freer movement Of
metals and general merchandise will
help the railroad situation in q meas
ure but genuine relief can not come
to the railroads until the 1914 crops
begin to come In. Even good crops
may not wholly remedy the present
unsatisfactory conditions unless some
method Is found by the railroads or
the interstate commerce commission
to enable the railroads to get higher

such purchases. Financing by rail-
roads was accomplished during Janu-
ary to the amount of $4,000, 900 as
compared with $76,OO0.00O for January
Of last year. Industrial financing be-
ing smaller for the month than last
year by 116,00O,0O0 probably helped the
market for these securities. Railroad
securities generally will look better to
the investor when the railroads can
show better net profits on operation,
RAILROAD gross earnings for the
calendar year 1913, for all roads, set a
new high record at 81, 201, 0OO, 900, the
highest previous showing being $3,046,-
100000 in 1912. These figures would
prove misleading were it not men
toned that the gain made by the rail-
roads was experienced during the first
nine months of the year. From Oct.

materially. Net earnings showed the
first falling off in March. gain for
April and May, followed by steady de-
cline turnout the balance Of the year.
The railroads added about per cent
to their rnileage during the year. Gross
earnings for January, so far as re-
ported, totaled $67,0o0,O00 compared

Des Moines, March 4.--By reason OF
the blow-up in progressive party
ranks when Frank Stuart fred his shot
into the machine. the Dies Moines
newspapers have at last discovered the
significance of the conference held
here month ago, as fully outlined and
exploited in this correspondence rela :
tive to the plans and purposes Of the
So called national leaders" of the
bull moose, movement. 1t will be re-
called by readers OF this paper that
the fact was made very clear that the
sole purpose of the conference here
was to shelve Frank Stuart as a can
didate for senator, because he was too
real progressive and to pick can
didate who would make it his pecial-
| ty to attack Senator Cummins and he
alone and do all possible to effect his
defeat and the election of demo-
crat at.
Stuart Discovers Game.
Mr.. Stuart also having discovered
the game that was being played, de-
cided upon withdrawing. OF course
the national leaders had already de-
creed that he should be forced out Of
the way. The kind of speech he
delivered was not the kind Of speech
that could receive the approval of
those who are financing from their
Wall street office the movement to de-
feat Senator Cummins
The matter of picking a candidate
was left. so it was stated by these
bull moose leaders In their Official or
gan, to the state committee which
means that it was to be left to Casper
Schenk and his associates. In Des
Moines it is therefore not at all a sur
prise that Casper Schenk awas picked
to be the man to oppose Cummins."
There are rumors, however, that Rev.
8. H. Bashor may be In the race and
demand attention at the hands of m en-
bers Of his party. He was in favor of
Stuart or some man who had a record
as q real progressive and may now
enter the lists and carry off the NOM
ination.
Sehenk Denies Hes Candidate.
Des Moines, March casper Schenk,
OF Des Moines. in formal statement
published here today. denies that he
is candidate for the progressive nom :
ination for United States senator. His
action followed the withdrawal from
the race Of Frank Q. Stuart. Of Chari-

WINTER WARFARE IN
BASEBALL REALMS
No Blood Shed When Magnates
Meet; Words That Sting
Chief Ammunition
RY Jump"

United States will have a winter
war. There will be no bloodshed. II
will be a battle between baseball
magnates and players. The questions
at issue are whether players have the
right to dictate their salaries; and OF
what value are baseball rules if they
can be broken at will.
Under the direction of the com
mander-in-chief, Governor John K
Tener, head of the National League
the major baseball body will hold a
counsel of war in New York city
commencing Tuesday. At this meet
ing the ammunition to be used will be
decided upon, and a rearrangement
of teams will be made in order to
more strongly fortify the National
League teams agains the invasions OF
the enemy, the Federals.
Daily news bulletins will be in or
der. Censurships are also probabil-
ity, and baseball fans will have to
read and form their own conclusions
until the war is over. Here are a few
early bulletins from the front:
National League armies will mobi-
lie in New York city, Tuesday, jan
uary 8.
Magnates will present their plans
for reorganization of troops early.
Sales, purchases and exchanges
must be accompanied by copies OF
contracts and options.
Walter Johnson signs with Feds
after legal advice, says President Grif-
fifth.
Gilmore is a base fabricator, ac-
cording to Clarke Griffith of the
Washington American League club,
who claims that Johnson is a con-
tract-jumper.
Rube Marquard, of the New York
Giants, has signed to play with Brook
lyn Feds.
'Muggsy" McGraw says Marquard
has two years remaining of his pres
ent contract, and is a jumper pure
and simple.
Baseball fraternity says Marquard
is in arrears with his dues and will be
expelled.
Action by the baseball fraternity on
other jumpers who have paid their
dues will be up to Dave Fultz.
Bender may follow Plank's example
and sign with the Feds.
American League magnates claim
that players who jump are has-beens
and will not be missed.
Until definite action is decided upon,
and official reports of mutiny are
filed, National League officials will not
talk.
