forced to seriously consider the propriety
Of tnsuring against q reduction OF div
idends In bad years by devoting In good
years our additional earnings, not to the
improvement Of property devoted irrev-
ocabiy to public service, but to q reserve
dividend fund for our shareholders.
The position OF the Pennsylvania sys.
tenn Is clearly revealed in the following
brief digest:
I'm ten years June 80. 1908. to June
80. 1879.

equipment has increased $3.50, 900. 900.

Property investment in railroad and

Operating revenue increased $4,000
900.
Operating expenses Increased s5%,-
900. 600.
Net operating income latter paying
taxes, rents and equipment hire) de-
creased $1,000. 900"
In conclusion President Rea said:
III the freight revenues OF the Penn
sylvan!a system IN 1918 had been 5 per
cent. greater the net operating revenue
would have produced return on the cost
OF the railroad and equipment OF 6t2
per cent. instead OF 5.ls per cent.
In 1910 we felt that conditions justi-
Ned an increase, but with improving gross
earnings and the better outlook for the
railroads generally then existing Il did
not so impress the commission, nor was
the public prepared for IT,
Now conditions are worse; our ex.
penditures have since then been larger
our costs higher: no return on many OF
our lines has been earned and on almost
all OF them the return has been made
quate with return OF only ? % per cent
earned on the increased investment In
road and eqpuiment in the ten years
ending June 80. 1918. with a substantial
decrease in net operating income for the
three years ending 1918. and the falling
on In revenues without any abatement
in taxes. wages and other Items since
June 30. 1913. the outlook is far from
satisfactory.
Now We have rs much public sun
port as can rosslhly be given TO n
pea almost national in its scope and
effect. and We firmly believe our appllca-
ton for the very moderate freight rate
Increase Is in accord with the best pub

to-day BY the Herkimer county Grand
Jury on a charge Of murder In tho hrst
degree. Within an hour the lad was ar
raisned In the Supreme Court here before
Justice Devendorf and plea Of not guilty
vas entered In his behalf.
When Glanini wearing his hrst pair Of
long trousers. emerged from the Jail and
started across the street to the court
house. he drew a handkerchief from his
rocket and held II across his face TO shield
himself from the gaze Of the crowd and
from the photographers.
In the court room the boy appeared to
be more interes ted in the many young
women presen, than In the proceedings.
He was smiling at a group Of girls when
Justlc. Devendorf asked II the defen liant
were present. and 1t was nece ssary for n
court attendant to remind 0ianini that
the court was addressing him.
Gianini's attorney argued against the
petition Of the Assistant District At

COL. PERKINS DlSpROVES
MENTAL INSTABILITY"
Wins His Six Year Fight for
Reinstatement in the
Marine Corps.

WASHINGTON. April AFTER an un.
ceasing struggle for more than six years,
Lieut.. Col. Constantine NJ Perkins u. 8.
Marine Corps. retired. won to-day a sub
s,ant!al victory with the transmission
from the Navy Department, to the House
Committee on Naval Affairs OF a letter
from Secretary Daniels recommending the
passage OF a bill TO reinstate Col Perkins
in the active list OF the Marine Corps.
Col Perkins Voluntarily retired In 1907
to escape the stigma OF being involun-
tarily retired because OF alleged mental
instability"
II has been charged BY Col. Perkins
and his friends that ne was 'railroaded"
out OF the Marine Corps lie was ordered
before a retiring board In June. 1907. be-
cause OF his alleged mental and physical
condition. The retiring board found that
Col Perkins was permanently unsuited
to the duties devoiving upon him by rea-
son OF mental disability" He was per-
mitted. however. TO apply for voluntary
retirement and six month"; cave Of
absence was granted At the end of the
six months he sought to withdraw his
application. but was permanently retired
on December 81. 1907.
In his letter to the committee Secretary
Daniels said that after many hours of
study he had reached the Conclusion that
grave injustice had been done. He says
that he was largely infus need by the
evidence OF four surgeons who testified be-
fore the retiring board in Col Perkins,
case.
The testimony Of those surgeons" said
the Secretary. IS convincing TO my mini
that Col Perkins. while suffering from
nervousness. was not mentally unbal-
anced"
The Secretary criticises the two navy
surgeons members OF the retiring board
for not calling In alienis.s TO pass upon
Col. Perkirs's condition. He submitted
with his letter the draft OF new bill.
which would make Col. Perkins an extra
number among the Colo-els Of the Marine
Corps. and thus not AFFECT promotions.

Criticism For Parcel Post.


During the debate on an amendment
to the postoffce appropriation bill in
the senate Senator Bristow of Kansas
made an attack en- the way the parcel
post law is being administered.
The amendment that Senator Bris.
tow supported provides that the pres
ent zone arrangement be not dis,
turbed by the postmaster general un.
less he is given authority.
The senator pointed out many re.
markable disparities under the system
of administering the law between the
cost of transporting parcels of the
same weight for longer and shorter
hauls.
He showed that in Virginia it would
cost as much to convey a parcel from
Staunton to another point thirteen
miles away as it would cost to carry
the same parcel from Washington to
the same destination.
'If the bill had been actually drawn
by the big mail order houses" said the
senator from Kansas, "it could not
have more nearly met the require.
ments of these concerns. AS admin.
istered they enjoy remarkable favors
in the way of transportation"

WORST STORM IN MANY YEARS
Metropolis Now Endangered by
Flames and .Firemen Patrol Beats

Flames and .Firemen Patrol Beats
as Was Custom in Colonial Days.
New York, March 3.-The record
storm for quarter of century has
driven seaward after paralyzing rail
road service, running wire communities
tions and destroying public and pri-
vate business.
The weather man believes that
winters grip is broken and tells us
that warmer temperatures and rain
are on the way.
The disappearing blizzard has left
four boroughs at the mercy of fire,
destroying or deadening the fire
alarm signals in Brooklyn, Richmond,
Queens and the Bronx, where firemen
are patrolling beats as they used to
do in New Amsterdam $50 years ago.
In Manhattan only is the system in
working order.
Four men we're killed by trains
while shoveling snow from the tracks,
two being swept from the trestle over
Jamaica bay A man was found frozen
to death at Hackensack, N. ]. His
hands covered his ears and he had
turned his back to the wind as II
swept from the north. He appeared
to have lost his way in the storm.
AS regards the destruction of rail
road service which was more general
and complete than operating officials
ever remembered the situation has
improved.
The Pennsylvania and the Lehigll
Valley resumed through service and
promised, as did all the other roads
betterment of local service. The
New York Central and New Haven re
ported mitigated conditions.
Nothing approaching the demolition
of telegraph and telephone service
was ever known. In this city, with
its conduits and protected cables, tho
phone annoyance was trivial, but IN
New Jersey and Long Island the con
ditions could hardly lave been worse
Unaccountable miles of telegraph
and telephone wires were useless,
broken or sagged under snow and ice
Only Newark could be reached by
telegraph from this city. The only di'
rect service to Washington and the
west for newspapers or commercial
use was by means of one underground
system of wires

DlSREGARDED RULES OF SEA
Captain Berry Makes Further Admis.
sions About Collision.

Captain Osmyn Berry of the steam
ship Nantucket admitted at his trial
in Philadelphia that he had broken an
international navigation rule in run.
ming his ship at full speed in a fog
just before hitting the steamer Mon.
roe. Not only had he violated an inter.
national rule, he conceded, but in ad.
dition he had disregarded a law OF
his own in running at full speed when
he could see only a quarter of mile
ahead of his ship.
The skipper admitted that only once
while he was master on the Nantucket
had there been a lifeboat drill IN
which the boats keels touched the
water.
He admitted that II he had stopped
his engines on hearing the fog signal
from the Monroe and proceeded eau.
tiously," as the navigation laws re.
Quire, there would have been no col
lision. Later, however, he became
confused and insisted that If he had
slowed down to half speed the col
lision would have occurred just the
same.

ohioan May Go to Russia.

Senator Pomerene of Ohio expressed
the opinion that Representative w. C..
Sharp of Elyria, o., would be appoint
ed ambassador to Russia. Mr.. Sharp
is one of the wealthiest members OF
congress from Ohio and is said to have
amassed about $2,OOO,OOO from the
manufacturing business and is not
averse to entering the diplomatic serv-
ice.
The only obstacle that appears in
the way of the appointment is the at.
titude of Governor Cox of Ohio, be
tween whom and Representative Sharp
there has been sharp political rivalry
and some bad feeling. Senator Pom
creme was asked by the president
whether the appointment of Mr.. Sharp
as ambassador would be offensive to
Governor Cox The senator stated that
in his opinion it would not, but ad-
mitted that he had not communicated
with the governor.
