Railroads Fail to See
 How to Save $25, 900, 900

The forecast Of the railway rate de- cision, the aggregate effect of which will be $16. 1000 more revenue, to- gether with suggestions for economies and new arrangements expected to add another $25. 1000. 600, is great disap- pointment to the roads. Several ex- ecutives of the eastern lines who were in New York yesterday expressed doubt as. to their ability to convert into cash any considerable part of the theoretical $25, GOO, GOO rendered to them. They also pointed out that the SIG, ,000,- GOO to be added to income would be spread out over more than fifty com panies.
 Tie vice president of one of the sys- terns terminating on the New Jersey shore of the Hudson river said that the suggested abolition of free lighter age and hoatage, and the addition of charge for loading, collecting and performing other services now includ- ed in the old rates, did not seem feas- ible
 He did not believe the Interstate Commerce Commission would seriously consider a charge for Hghterage in New York harbor which would make it impossible for roads ending in New Jersey to deliver freight on Manhattan Island at the same rates quoted by the New York Central and the New Ha,- ven.
 As for the suggested charges for ether services now performed free he pointed out that this meant an in crease in rates on certain shippers, but that it would be more difficult for the railroads to get it.

train STRIKES
an EMPTY BUS
Mount Vernon Woman Leaves Rig
Just in Time.

Mount Vernon, Jan. ga
strange accident that might have
been a tragedy occurred yesterday
at Mount Vernon when a headon
collision occurred between the Ov-
erland Limited on the Northwestern
and a runaway team hitched to a
bus belonging to j. H. Petty.
The train was running sixty miles
an hour to make up lost time, and
had just rounded curve when con-
fronted by the team racing at break
neck speed down the ballasted track
That no passengers were in the
bus was due to the fact that Mrs.
George H. Belts, the solitary occu-
pant at the time the team became
frightened while the driver was
from his seat collecting the baggage
for another passenger, sprang from
the moving vehicle.
