LOW FREIGHT RATES
DELAY PROSPERITY

St. Louis, Feb. 3-While other in
dustries are quickening into a condi-
tion near normal, the railroads oper-
ating in Missouri are without hope of
improvement unless they are granted
an increase in freight and passenger
rates, according to brochure circu-
lated today. The pamphlet cites fig
ures showing that while operating ex-
penses for eight Of the largest rail
roads operating in the State decreased
total of $2,157,442.71 in 1914, the
decrease still was too small TO meet
the decline in earnings, and net oper-
ating revenues show a decrease of
s9,684, ,752.O2, nearly 10 per cent from
the 1913 revenues.
The eight railroads which are said
to carry not less than s. per cent of
the passenger and freight business in
the State, are: Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy; Chicago & Alton; Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific; Missouri, Kan
sas G. Texas; Missouri Pacific, St.
Louis & San Francisco; st. Louis,
Iron Mountain & Southern, and Wa
bash Railroad companies.
The operating expenses, although
cut to the lowest possible figure by
each of the roads, have been creeping
steadily closer to the amount of the
gross earnings, decreasing the ne
earnings, while interest on money borl
rowed by railroads has increased from
4 or Az per cent to or 712 per cent
the brochure points out. At the same
time, taxes per mile have more than
doubled in the last 10 years.
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail-
way earnings from its Missouri busi-
ness in 1914 show a reduction from
1918 of 111,2S1,75, or 123 per cent.
"a railway to continue and in
crease its efficiency" the booklet says,
"must not only keep up its linee and
equipment for current traffic, but must
have means to provide in advance for
increasing requirements. The State of
Missouri and the country as whole
is rapidly growing in population and
wealth, and there is an insistent i'm
proved passenger service, faster
freight service and greater safety.
These particular things do not in
crease revenue, but they increase op-
Grating expenses, and should be met
by increased rates for transportation"

MISSISSIPPI RISES FOOT
Floating Ice Drives Drifting Boats
Down the River.

All day yesterday the river con-
tinued to rise rapidly, and from Z
o'clock in the morning to o'clock in
the afternoon the gauge indicated a
rise of one foot, changing in its regis
ter from 1913 feet to 20.3.
The sudden rise brought with it a
large quantity of ice. The heavy flow
of ice prevented the capture of num-
Der of boats and barges that were seen
floating down the river during the day.
Capt. A. C. Jaynes succeeded in
changing the location of the ferry
boat 100 feet from its regular posi-
tion to a place where the danger Of
being famed was not so great. The
ferry boat Gladys, which is located
immediately below the dixie Oh the
Illinois side, was moved closer to the
shore.

SUICIDE CAR RETURNS
FROM THE CAR HOSPITAL
Again on Run With Four Real
Wheels.

The street car which attempted to
commit suicide by jumping into the
Mississippi river two weeks ago, left
the hospital yesterday morning, look
ing better than it did before the
wreck.
Pat Whelan, the night motorman in
charge Of the car, learned yesterday
afternoon that while the car was un-
dergoing treatment, four new wheels
were exchanged for the two pairs of
fiat ones that had Ions interfered with
the suburbanites' Sleep,
Just to prove that street car could
not have anything on him for style
and speed, Mr.. Whelan bought a new
red necktie and when he got ready to
take charge of the car last night, mo-
torman and coach had to be formally
introduced.
'This is pretty SOFT" said Mr..
Whelan as he released the brake and
moseyed up the Broadway hill. The
front of the car was bright in new
paint and the four wheels hummed in
stead of ratified.
81 hope these motormen who re-
lieve me keep this wagon on the
track" said Whelan. 81 don't want to
take any chances of running these new
wheels. understand all of the motor
men are jealous of me-"

MACILL'S REPORT
APPROVES WATER
Utilities Company's Chemist In
sists Liquid is o. K, But Ex-
pert Says It's Poison.

Prof. A. c. Magill of the Normal
who is making a chemical analysis of
the water each week for the Missouri
Public Utilities Company, submitted
his report Saturday. The analysis
showed the water to be in good condi-
ton.
Prof. Magill sent a copy of his re-
port to the Board of Health, which is
without a chemist, and this analysis
reached the health officers just about
the time the report from the chemist
at the State University arrived in the
Cape.
The expert from the Missouri Uni
versity says he found it polluted, and
his advice was that the water in this
city at the present time was not suit
able to be taken into the human sys-
TEN. The sample Of the water sen
to the University was taken from a
city hydrant January 27, or Just three
days before the date of Prof. Magill's
report.
Prof. MagilI, in explanation of the
contrasts in the reports, last night
blamed it on the ice. He believes that
the frozen condition of the river at
time the water sent to Columbia
was drawn was responsible for a pol
luted condition of the water. The river,
however, was still frozen when the
Normal chemist made his analysis
Saturday. He insisted last night that
the water was pure three days after
it was declared to be poison.
A copy of Prof. Magilrs analysis
was forwarded to the Missouri Public
Service Commission Saturday. Three
days later Councilman Black sent the
report of the University chemist to
Jefferson City. This analysis showed
conditions to be Just the opposite Of
what the Normal School chemist
found them to be.
Prof. Magill's report follows:
January 30, 1915.
Missouri Public Service Commission,
jefferson City, Mo.
Gentlemen: The following are the
results of an analysis of a sample of
the city water drawn from tap in the
Chemistry Laboratory:

Free Ammonia, 6 parts per million.
