BREAKING OF RAILROAD
WHEELS HARD TO AVOID
Cracks Not Noticeable Except Under
Most Diligent Inspection, Says
Report of I. G. c.

Railroad accidents such as the one
al Oakland. Wis, January 80 last,
caused by the breaking of a wheSl.
would be difficult to avoid. according
to the report of the interstate COM
merce commission issued today. Fol-
lowing the accident. an exhaustive
study of wheel stresses and breaks
was made. and it was found that a
number of wheels in the service had
cracks which could not be discovered
in the ordinary examination made at
the terminals
Under the most diligent inspection
and thorough tests that can be made
with the wheel in the truck" says the
report. those with incipient cracks
might appear sound.
The critical places in the construc-
ton of wheels of this type are OBJ
scured from view, and can be made
visible and accessible only by the par
tial or complete dismantling of the
wheel. Inspection, however critical 1t
may be. will not reveal incipient cracks
which are hid by bolts and plates.
ITO determine definitely whether or
not wheels of this type now in use are
in proper condition for service. the
ordinary wheel inspection should be
supplemented by inspection of the
metal at the bolt holes as one Of the
methods of ascertaining the proba-
bility of approaching rupture

Il was particularly impressed. the
witness said. with the decision in the
governments action against the United
States Steel Corporation. This COM

cision. The commission practically
has power to determine what practices
in trade are not proper and fair. Under
the federal law the size is not to be

He believed that under the existing

PERMITS CAMP INSPECTION.
Gear of Russia Responds Favorably
to President Wilson's Request.

Emperor Nicholas of Russia has re-
sponded favorably to President Will
sons personal letter conveying re-
quest by Austria that provision be
made for inspecting Siberian camps,
where Austrian prisoners are held.
Following unsuccessful negotiations
thCough usual diplomatic channels, DR..
Constantin Dumba, the Austrian am
bassador here, asked President Wilson
about two months ago to send a per-
sonal letter to Emperor Nicholas. The
request was the result of reports that
Austrian civilians and prisoners Of war
were not getting proper treatment. The
Austrian government asked that the
inspection be conducted by American
Red Cross agents.
The answer. delayed because of the
absence of the emperor from Petro-
grad. was brought here today by Ray
Baker, private secretary to American

NET REVENUE OF $3s.
Federal Statistics for 143 Railways
Shows Increase for April.

Additional statistics on the revenues
and expenses Of the large railroads,
made public by the interstate COM
merce commission today, show that for
the month of April the roads made a
net revenue of $3S. The statistics are
for 143 roads. The report yesterday
covered only 112 roads
AS in the early reports. the statistics
showed a decrease both in expenses
and revenues for April of this year.
when compared with similar period
of last year.
While the railroads of the United
States as a whole, and those of the
eastern and southern districts showed
increases in their net revenues for this
period when compared with last year,
those in the western district showed a
decrease in the net earnings per mile.
The decrease in net earnings. however,
amounted to only 81 per mile, but it
seems to be apparent that the roads
made an earnest endeavor to show an
increase, as evidenced by the enormous
reduction in expenses in April of this
year, when compared with the same
month of 1914. In April, 1914, the ex-
penses were s5s,7ss.455. while the ex-
penses in April Of this year were
S34,s78,857. a decrease OF approximate
ly $24,0O0.000.
