Loss of a3,6ot,5OO.

Chairman Elliott reports that the Mcr
chants and Miners Transportation Com
pany was sold in April az the New Haven
was unable to finance its need for new
capital. Because OF unfavoiable condi-
lions the sale resulted IN a loss Of S3,5g4.-
500 In the January agreement the slae
OF this limo was provided for. Another
provision OF the January agreement. the
cancellation Of the contract with the New
York Central for sharing the financial re-
suits OF the operation OF the Boston and
Albany, has also been terminated.
In view OF the present conditions and
the policy Of the Federal Government and
its various departments" says Mr.. Elliott
the directors have felt that II was wise
to agree with the Department of Justice
and to divest itself OF ownership In these
various properties. and therefore. with the
authority OF the stockholders, II made every
reasonable concession towards a peaceful
adjustment. but with the hope that the
arrangement will not ruthlessly and un-
necessarily sacrifice values and impair the
service that the various properties can
give to the public.
1T is believed that IN the time allowed
the company. n there IL n return Of pros
perity TO the country with a more reason
able attitude on the part OF the public
toward railroad corporations, many OF
these properties will show a value much
In excess Of the estimates to-day, and that
losses in carrying these properties will be
reduced II patience IL exercised and fair
treatment accorded.
The report OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission " June 20. 1913. said about
these properties They are for the most
part OF substantial value and in many in.
stances are kind Of property the value
of which should improve
This IL true, and within the past year
each OF the properties within the control
OF the New Haven company has been

ton and ability to serve the public"

Urges Opportunity for Line.

Mr. Elliott says that though IL il
asserted that the present financial con-
dition of the New Haven is due 20 it's
old Investments. now about 10 be sold.
the conditions countrywide affecting the
railroads inJuriousy have had much to
do with IT,
He makes plea for respite for
the railroad from disturbance and abuse
and urges that opportunity and time be
given for constructive work.
THE past year has been most trying
one for the company. the owners of its Sc
curities employees officers and directors. 8"
he says. That the company has been able
to sustain itself under the very disturbed
conditions is evidence OF Its inherent
strength. II has had to meet great loss
in revenues, large increases In expenses
II has been the subject OF exhaustive
Investigations and of much hostile criti-
cism. OF which no complaint is now made
but instead an appeal for fair treatment
and constructive aid.
Among the conditions necessary for
the success OF the company are: First
Freedom from disturbance and the OPP
portunity for constructive work. There
is much truth said the Interstate Com
merce Commission In it's report OF June
20. 1913, on the New England situation.
In the claim of the carriers that they
have been so occupied with Investigations
and so criticised by the public that no
fair opportunity has been given for the
operation OF their railroad properties
"Second-The removal of restrictions
and conflicts in the laws and policies
OF the various New England States which
prevent the company from adopting a
comprehensive financial plan enabling II
to meet It's obligations by mortgage
bonds.
"Thlrd--A readiness on the part OF
commissions. both State and national, 10
permit n reimbursement and increase In
freight and passenger rates and an In
crease in the pay received for the car
rage of mail and parcel post.
"Fourth--Adequate time for the com
pany TO dispose OF its Investments In
other companies. The directors as
trustees for the stockholders. as well as
in a large measure for the community
served by the lines, should. for the pro-
lection OF the property. Its owners and
the business of the New England States.
not be forced to sacrifice these invest
ments and at a time when values have
been depressed by adverse criticism, con-
troversy and generally poor business con-
ditions.

Are Finally Rescued Alive
Mines Wrecked.

WEBB CITY. Mo. Oct. AFTER
more than two score men. many OF
them battered and bruised. had
climbed ESQ feet up ladders to the
surface, IL was announced late to-
night that the last of the men inn
prisoned by the cave-in OF the Ameri-
can Davey zinc mines had been res
cued and that no lives had been lost.
Early reports said a number of
miners. estimated at from twelve to
twenty, were imprisoned in the mine
and 1t was believed all had perished,
but rescuers succeeded in finding all
who were in the mine.
Fifty men working the mines were
temporarily imprisoned when the
timbering. supporting the roofs OF
three Of the seven connected mines
gave way. Most of them escaped by
tinding their way to air shafts
Men Badly Injured.
The ore bodies in the three mines
where the roofs collapsed were not
being worked. but when the tons or
earth and rock fell. a rush of air
through the drifts of the other mines
picked men up and buffeted them
against rocks and the jagged ends OF
mine timbers. Many Of those injured
and killed. 1t is believed, were hurt in
this way.
The electric lighting and hoisting
system throughout the mines was par
alyzed. Through mine No. fifteen
miners climbed TO the surface after
finding their way through darkened
drifts by libersting a blind track mule
and following him as he made his way
over a path he had trod unseeingly
for years to the shaft.
All OF these men were injured. but
not dangerously.
A call for help was sent out over
the mining district. and nurses. physi-
clans and ambulances were sent from
Carthage and Joplin.
The mines, owned by the American
Zinc. Lead & Smelling Company. were
being worked double shifts because OF
the closing OF the German zinc mines
All Of the miners are Americans.
