EXONERATE PHONE GIRL FOR DEATH OF
 UNATTENDED MAN

After an investigation at Darien yesterday Coroner Phelan decided that Miss Jennie Tillman was not in any way to blame for the death of Istvan Kovacs in that town last Tuesday morning. Kovacs succumbed to chronic asthma. At midnight his mother and 4 year old brother went to the center of Darien in an effort to get in communication with Dr. A L. House. They were unable to get telephone communication with the physician and finally went to the cen Hal telephone exchange. Miss Till man was on duty alone but in accord ance with rule Of the company she refused to allow them to enter the exchange.
 From inside she asked what doctor they wanted and offered to telephone for a physician but they either did not hear or would not answer. Dr. House, who later attended Kovacs said the man was practically beyond Tnedi- cal aid at the time his mother was endeavordng to get a physician

 The eastern freight rate advance re- gently allowed by the Interstate Com
 merce Commission, while import ant in itself, assumes much greater i'm portance in it's evidence to the world that the needs of the railroads are re- ceiving full attention at the hands Of
 the Commission. Itlsis believed that
 the denial Of the petition of the east ern roads for an increase would have
 meant additional railroad receiver lS1ipSa which would have brought other
 business disasters in their wake. The effect of the decision is therefore, far treaching and even though, as estinat-
 ed. the increased Income to the roads themselves may only run from 30 to 1 40 million dollars annually, this com IparativeIy modest sum added to the revenues of the railroads would mean Ian increase in the general business of sthe country of more than one million dollars per day. The railroads will pay this money for labor and mater kials; the material makers will pay it for labor and raw materia1s;s in the lend it all goes for labor and with it

 feels that he is hit toe. hard by this

1914 FARM PRODUCE ! WORTH TEN BILLIOl

Washington, Dee. S1-Ameriea farms during 1914 ecupsed all records for combined value of their products with a total of almost SIC, ,0oO, ,000, poo. Secretary Houston of the Department of Agriculture announced yesterday that the value of ali farm crops, farm animal products. and farm animals sold and slaughtered aggregated $9i s72.9ss.OoO- That was $s3.0o0,O09 more than the grand total for 1913. the previous record year and mora than double the value of all farm products in 1899.
 Crops this year were valued at SC 044, 480,o00 and the estimated total value of the animal products and of the farm animals sold and slaughter was $3s BPS. .456s0o0. The value of crop production this year was slightly lesa than in 1918 on account of the re- duced value of the cotton crol brought about principally by the European war. The corn and wheat crops, however, were the most Valu- able ever produced in the United States. bringing the years crop value total to only $8e. .279s00O less than tn total for last year, despite the loss of more kthan $3O0,900. .0o0 in the value of the cotton crop.
 The estimated value of the animal products Of the farm in 1s14. sd The Agricultural Outlook yesterday. is distinctly higher than in 1915. wEli ic1ls was itself a record year in thg value of this class of products. Tn is due to general but slight increases in production, except for sheep far,d swine; and in prices more especially to small increase in the averase farm price of eggs, and to a more cor siderable increase in the farm price of cattle and calves sold and sla.ughtere !.
 Tt must be borne in mind that the amounts of these estimates do not stand for net wealth produced nor for cash received. nor for profit. nor for income in any sense. Each pro duct is valued. as In the census. when it reached commercial form. and ff1e grand aggregate of 1t is to be regard ed as an index number, or from a relative rather than from an absolute point of view. z
 The values of the principal farm crops this year was: Corn, $I,T0z- 599.0ooi wheat. $s7S. .680s00o hay, $779s068.o00; cotton S51g.6Ist t000s oats, $49s. 431.0OO; potatoes $188 6Os.o0O; barley. $105s9Osaoo tobacco. $101.
