TEN-HOUR DAY
FOR PETERBOROUGH
Salaries of Subway and u
Men Will Not Be
Lowered.

All employees in stations on the ele-
waited and subway lines Of TIE Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company Will
have their working hours reduced
from twelve to ten hours day on
July /. The new order affects 2,92I
ticket sellers, ticket choppers and
platform men, and will necesGitate a
20 per cent increase in the number OF
employees in the station department
There will be no reductions in salary.
In discussing the new Arrangement
yesterday Frank Hedley, vice.presi-
dent and general manager Of the In
terborough, said:
"The management of the INTERIOR
ough has been DESTROYS for some time
past of working out a system whereby
the station employees, including the
ticket agents, ticket choppers, plat
form men and station porters, would
have their days work reduced IN
hours without affecting their wages. -,
THE matter has been complicated
because the stations must be manned
and operated for twenty-four hours
each day, and, to protect the reye,,
nues of the company, an elaborate and
involved ticket system is necessarily
utilized. However, we have finally
worked out scheme that does enable
US TO reduce the hours of labor from
twelve to ten without reducing the
nav that the individuals will receive.
AT the same time, the station agents

Americans Flee States
Under Villa Control

tBy Telegraph 10 Inc Irlbune.I
FL Paso, Tex, June 18.-Anarchy Is
general in Durango and Guanajuato,
which are under Villa control. Ameri-
cans are being driven from both states,
according 20 refugees who arrived here
to-day. Forty-eight families reached
the border to-day. All lost everything
they had saved through long years Of
labor in Mexico. Most escaped with
their lives by the narrowest of margins.
Conditions in Torreon, Villas chief city
in the north, have become such that
Americans are leaving for the border.
Refugees from Durango and Guam
ajuato, numbering more than $50, bring
stories Of outrages by Mexicans, and
declare that all Americans in the in
terror of Mexico are being forced to
get out Of the country. Bandits are
held responsible for many Of the out
RACES. One refugee, who had lived
eleven years in Mexico and who hopes
10 90 back when conditions improve,
said his house was fired into seventeen
times. Another, who lived twenty
miles from Guanajuato City, said his
home was attacked repeatedly. In the
last attack nineteen shots were fred
into the house, but the bandits were
drunk and their aim was bad.

Daniels Believes Expense
Figures in Navy Yards
Put Too High.
ACCOUNTS SYSTEM
WILL BE CHANGED
New Method Expected to Show
Government Building Cheaper
than Private.
Iron The Tribune Bureau ]

Washington, June 18.-An entirely
new system Of accounting in navy yards
will, in Secretary Daniels's opinion,
demonstrate that the cost figures on
bpttleships built by the government
have been considerably higher than
they ought to have been, and that such
vessels can be built cheaper and better
in government yards than in private
yards.
Secretary Daniels declared to-day
that 1t had been the custom in the New
York yard-the only government plant
capable Of building a battleship-to
charge against the cost OF the ship
many expenses which ought to be
charged against the maintenance Of the
yard itself and were in no way connect
ed with the construction OF the battle
ship. II the ship lad not been built at
ell many OF these expenses would have
been incurred just the same.
The Secretary said such expenses as
those of draughting clerks on repair
work had been charged against bat
tleship under construction. Expenses
of watchmen and clerks doing work tor
the yard, in no way connected witl
the battleship, were frequently charged
against the ship.
Shows Too High Costs.
The result, Mr. Daniels continued
had been TO show a cost of constructor
in government yards much higher than
in private yards, but the comparison
was not fair. as private yards did only
one kind of work in the main-build'
ing ships-while navy yards did large
amount of repairing.
Secretary Daniels was asked II this
form of accounting had been partially
the result of objections by many navy
officers to the government building bat
tleships. re replied that he was con
vinced It was due only to the desire OF
the men doing the figuring to take
every item into consideration that
would have been considered by pri'
vate plant. This would be the correct
method, too, he added, were it not tol
the fact that the government yard was
run as y military institution and as
place for the repair of vessels.
While there was a difference OF opin'
ior as to wether battleships should be
constructed by the navy or by private
wards, Mr.. Daniels said the preponder
ance Of belief was that the government
cot q bette job" when it built the
Ships itself. He admitted that the gov

CIRCUIT ACCEPTED
SHAKY SECURITY
Iron Dealer Admits Backing
Promissory Note with Over
pledged Mortgages.

Charles f. Ring, of the Charles E.
Ring Iron and Steel Company, Of
Brooklyn, testified all day yesterday
before Judge Lewis in the Kings Coun-
ty Court in the trial of Edward VI.
Grout, accused of perjury In swearing
TO a statement of the defunct Union
Bank.
District Attorney Cropsey brought
out that Mr.. Ring was able to back
up a promissory note for SAC ,972.76 with
only a couple of Overpledged mort
cages, an assignment of a claim of S.
900 due him for work on the Liberty
Theatre and other securities.
In all Of Mr.. Rings transfers TO the
bank Cropsey was able to find only
one sound mortgage, for $4,000.
Mr. Ring testified that when Edward
VI. Grout became president OF the
Union Bank he pursued him constantly
for more collateral on the note. II
was shown that Ring assigned numer-
Gus parcels Of real estate TO his wife.
Also, at about this time, he incorpo-
rated his business under its present
name, and, il is said, did not inform
Mr. Grout of the incorporation.
District Attorney Cropsey also
showed that a balance of S62,60l.5S
which Mr. Ring claimed on the right
side of the ledger for 1909 was made
up largely of uncollected debts.
"The statement showing this balance
does not include your liability TO the
Union Bank" asked Mr.. Cropsey.
"The Union Bank owes me money
instead Of me owing it money" shouted
tho witness. "They owed me money
on account Of the Opera House Con-
struction Company"
After considerable argument Ring
finally admitted that his business
statement did not include liabilities oil
assets which he chose to omit.
The trial will be continued Monday
morning.
