Commuters Protest Against
West Shores Curtailment

RIDGEWOOD PARK, Nov. 21.-
The action OF the West Shore Rail
road Company in taking off the Sun
day morning local due at Weehawken
at 7:10, has already caused many
commuters to give up their homes in
the country and return to the city,
as they must report for duty at s
o'clock. Others who can't give up
their homes will have TO give up their
jobs.
II has created such an indignant
opinion among the commuters as far
up the railroad as Valley Cottage
that many petitions are being cir
@Ilated in the different towns re-
ouesting the railroad management to
restore the train.
A Commuters League has been or
ganized and already there are 437
signatures, with Commissioner Harry
F. Ayers. of Ridee7eld Park rs
acting chairman, and with Ralph II.
Oyerbrough, of Ridgefield Park. and
Roy NJ Robinson, of Englewood, as
general counsel.
The expectations are that there will
be 600 or more signers to the petit
lions before the month Is out, as there
are now more than two dozen petit
tons in circulation. and more coming

Railroad Mans View of
State Law "StrangulatiOn''

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. I'll
Ivy L. Lee, executive assistant Of
the Pennsylvania railroad, in dis
cussing before the Mems Club the
situation of the railroads. said last
night that the railroads do not OPP
pose regulation. except when il be-
comes strangulation.
"In 1918 nearly 1,400 laws reeulat-
ing railroads were introduced in
forty-two State legislatures he said.
IN 1914. though only fourteen legis-
latures were in session. 236 new rail-
road bills were proposed. OF these
liz provided for some mandatory
concessions to employees,
During the four years from June
30. 1910. to June 30. 1914 the thirtV-
FIVE railroad systems east of the Mis-
sissippi and north of the Ohio river
expended for improvements nearly
5000. 600, 900. Yet such was the in
creased expense of handling bust
ness that in the fiscal year of 1914
these railroads earned a net operat-
ing income less by $50. 900 900 than In
1910. before that cash investment had
been made,
Regulation of railroads, so emf
nently desirable. when proper and
not merely political, was originally
intended to prevent discrimination
and oppression. In no respect any
thing else Intended now, but the GU
mulatve effect of laws and comms-
son activities Is that this device OF
craftsmanship is being converted into
an instrument of torture

Charles NJ. Schwab Optimistic
First Time in Three Years

NEW YORK. Nov. 21.--Charles NJ.
Schwab, who returned yesterday on
the steamship Adriatic, after a seven
day stay in London. was a passenger
on the outward voyage on the liner
Olympic, that rescued the crew of the
dreadnought Audacious, but he de-
cllned to discuss the subject, saying
that he would not talk until Eng
land had seen At to issue an official
statement. He added, however, that
"in so far as he knew. none of the
passengers was pledged to secrecy"
Mr. Schwab, who was accompanied
on his trip by Archibald Johnson,
president of the United States
Steel Corporation, gave what he said
was the first optimistic statement
that has come from him IN three
years.
II believe we are near the turning
point for a full return of confidence
and prosperity in the United States
he said I'VE are being favored by
the war as is no other nation. AS
example, Germany normally pro-
duces from 1900, 900 to 15000,00o tons
Of steel annually, of which about
100000 is exported. This is now
shut off and the advantage is In our
favor. What is true of steel Is true
of other commodities, but 1t Is not
the war supply trade alone that is
turning the tide. We are recognize
ing the shock of the war, but cap

partially TO suspend operations. but
we will soon be in full action again

Back from Inspection of
p. R. K. Lines, Rea Pleads for
Freight Rate Increase

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.-Samuel
Rea. president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and a party of
directors and officers returned yester-
day from an inspection of the sys-
tenn.
"The tracks and facilities were
found in good condition." said Mr..
Rea, but owing to necessary econ

ment work has been deferred. BUSH
ness is depressed and railroad earn
ings continue to fall materially as
compared with the last year. As a
result many men are out of work,
train mileage and shop operations are
curtailed and purchases of materials
and supplies are reduced to mini
mum.
This enforced economy of nearly
all railroads means many millions
lest to manufacturing and business
establishments. There is an eager
ness among all classes for some ac-
ton by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and the hope is gener-
ally expressed that the commission
will help the railroads.
1.-THE belief is widespread that such
constructive action by the commission
would restore confidence and that 1t
would turn the tide of business I'M
certainty now that the government
has established the reserve banks
and measurably provided for carry
ing this years cotton crop.
ut is felt that the government is
doing a great deal to stimulate bust
ness, but the condition of the rail-
roads is still the chief drawback to
manufacturing and commercial ac-
tivity. and this serious obstacle can
be removed by promptly allowing
freight rate increases"

He assigned Lieutenant Meehan TO

There could be no good motive for
any attempt to burn down the build

DRADY'S PROMISE
COST 100000
Carried on Project He Agreed
to Complete in Face of
Disaster.

ALBANY. Nov. 21.--An inspection
of the papers filed in the surrogate's
office here In connection with the ap-
praisal of the estate of Anthony n.
Brady, together with the testimony
taken by Appraiser Charles NJ. Friend,
discloses that not all OF the securities
acquired by the financier were gilt
edge, but that many of the companies
in which he held thousands of shares
of stock have disappeared and the ex-
perts engaged in the appraisal could
find no record of them.
The testimony also contains tributes
by Mr.. Bradys associates and ac-
quaintances as TO his business meth
DDS, especially as to his habit of fin
ishing anything he started. This re-
ferred particularly to Mr.. Brady's
Chattanooga and Tennessee River
Power Company, organized by him to
build a power plant In the Chatta-
nooga river at Hales Bar. to provide
power for the city of Chattanooga.
Work on the construction of the
plant was begun in 1907, at which
time the estimated cost was less than
81, 900, 900, and the plant was to be
ready for business in two years. The
project has already cost Mr. Brady
and his estate more than $4,000 900,
and one of the witnesses testified that
when completed the plant will not be
worth more than $2.500,000.
Mr.. Brady's purpose In organizing
the power company was related by
Thomas e. Murray, vice-president of
the New York Edison Company, an
engineer who was familiar with the
Chattanooga river project. He testi-
fed that there can never be a proper
return on the investment because I'M
foreseen difficulties were encountered
In constructing the dam which
trebled the cost.
Mr.. Brady had contracted to build
this plant, and he was man who
never started anything he didn't fin
ish," said Mr. Murray. II don't think
anybody else in the world who started
this plant would have finished 1t but
Mr. Brady.
"One reason he went into the Chat
tanooga was that verbally he had
purchased the plant of the Chatta-
nooga Railroad and Light Company,
and people with whom he had made
arrangements double crossed him
overnight and he had to go ahead
with that property without prospect
of business"

8 in Battle at Dixmude

BERLIN, via London, Nov. 81
The correspondent of the Zeitung am
Mittag visited Dixmude while that
town stlll was under heavy lombard
ment.
The sky. literally, was covered with
gmoke rings from shrapnel. he says.
THE enemy was commencing to wsvsr
under the steady succession of as
saults. The allies fire was no longer
well directed, and as the German
preparations were well made the Ger
man losses ia the assaults usually
were relatively small
The captured trenches, SAYS the
correspondent were magnificently
built of reinforced concrete with
sandbag breastworks. stands for ma
chine guns and a novel type of re-
volver cannon which throws short
range grenades-
Such trenches cover the whole coun-
try, and when one is captured the
enemy retires TO the next. The fight
ing is often at such close range that
hand grenades are employed most ef-
fectively. The presence of the lat
est French and English newspapers
in the trenches, says the correspond
ent. shows that the allied soldiers are
being kept Informed.

Baraga, Mich, in tho face of heavy
northwestern gale Wednesday morn
ing, was undated today.
Eight bodies and quantities of
wreckage washed ashore near Grand
Marals yesterday afternoon told the
fate of the undertaken barge Annie
NJ. Peterson and gave rise to grave
apprehension that the Curtis and
Marvin likewise had gone down in

Lake Superior for the last three days
All three vessels we're owned by the
Edward Hines Lumber Company, of
Chicago, and were headed for Tona-
wanda. the two barges in tow OF the

Of seven, and the hnding of eight
bodies led to the belief that one or

searching the lake snore for wrecK-
age, but no report has reached here
that the fragments already found
came from any ship otner tnan the

were those of women.
The storm created havoc among
lake shipping In the vicinity of She-
ibOygan, three freight steamers beng
driven ashore. The Sicken was forced
on the rocks at Grace Harbor and the
Barth and the LaclSawanna were
driven aground off Bots Blanc Island,

DANIELS WAITING
FOR MORGENTHAU
Say Secretary Holds Up Deck
er's Message on Smyrna At
fair, Expecting Apology.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. - While
commanders of the cruisers Tennessee
and North Carolina had acknowledged
cautionary messages sent them after
the Tennessee's launch was fired upon
in Smyrna harbor, administration Of
fieials today still awaited definite de-
tails Of the incident. The complete
story, It was believed, would be told
in the report OF Ambassador Morgen-
THAI, at Constantinople. which prob
ably has been delayed because of slow
cable and overland communication
from the Orient.
Though Secretary Daniels would not
say SO, II is generally believed by
navy men here that the second report
of Captain Decker states specifically
that the cruisers launch was fired up
on deliberately and without proyoca-
ton by the Turkish garrison, and that
the secretary desires to withhold this
until the expected apol-
ogy from the Ottoman government
reaches Washington through Ambas-
sador Morgenthau.
