the Chamber last night on the subject
of THE Valuation OF Railroads." out
lined the manner IN which the physical
valuation of the railways of the coun-
try Will be conducted, and said that the
field surveys should be completed within
from four to six years.
This undertaking, the speaker de-
clared, Is not properly an engineering
problem. but rather a social, economic,
legal, and, in it's final analysis, a Do-
lit.cal one While it is for the com
mission to first ascertain all the facts
and from them form an opinion as TO
the values, its Conclusions will undOubt-
edly, he said, be modified to some extent
by the courts.
Railroad Credit.
Though it is the duty of the Govern
ment, within reasonable limits, TO see
that the would-be investor is not hood
winked, Mr.. Prouty remarked that in
railway investment the public Is more
Immediately Interested. Just in proper
don as railway securities commend
themselves to the investing public. he
added, 1t is possible for the railway to
obtain the money with which TO make
the necessary improvements TO its prop
critics.
railways," he continued; whatever
gives 10 railway securities the invest
ment quality with bank stocks and
municipal bonds; whatever, in a word,
takes from railroad stocks the speCu-
lative and uncertain element indirectly
reduces the cost of furnishing railway
service and thereby inures to the beneft
Of the general public.
Why Labor Is Restless.
Secretary of Labor Wilson. in a brief
address upon the relations OF the De-
partment of Labor to industries and
commerce, declared that a lack OF per-
sonal touch between employer and en-
ure for the acuteness of tho labor sit
uation In this country today. The re-
latfons between the Department Of
Labor and capital. he said. would be
shown by an effort on the part Of the
department, through discussion. to de-
termine tho causes of the trouble, and,
bv offers of mediation and arbitration
TO undertake the settlement of them.
Mr.. Wilson, however, voiced nppoSl-
ton to compulsory arbitration. since he
said such a method of settling differ
ences would work injustice in both di-
rections In concluding, the speaker
made a plea for an increase In voca-
tionaI educational facilities, because, he
declared, the public schools are turning
out pupils trained merely for CONNER
ciaI or professional life, whereas. the
majority of them will have to earn a
livelihood by the labor of their hands.
The annual banquet will be tonight at
the New willard Hotel. Secretary of
, Commerce Redfield and Prof. Karl
Rathgen, Of Hamburg, will speak. The
convention will conclude tomorrow aft
ernoon with the election OF directors.

tell its story. or to describe its pos
sibiiities in the way of dramatic pro-
duction. is scarcely necessary.
Messrs Klaw Il Erlanger have spent
many thousands of dollars in making
dramatic productions of this wonder
fully beautiful romance that reaches
out to the divinity for it's impressive
climax This year these eminent pro-
ducers announce that their efforts sur
pass all previous ones, and the result
IS scenic wonder.
This production was presented at the
New National Theater last evening in
all its elaboration and beauty. with
perhaps an added charm in having in
the title-r~&c Richard Buhler. who won
hosts of frieuds in this city during Il
long and successful stock engagement.
SO well pleased, indeed. were these
friends that their inSistent applause
1upe')ed him TO make curtain speech
which modestly expressed his graft

Ter. familiar with the role in having
long played 1t, makes an ideal Ben

ness, quiet dignity ard forceful act

audience, and held il to the close. His
work stood out SO far above the re-
nlainder of the cast as to merit men
tion apart. and, with the charm of the
stagecraft and artistry, is the COM
