mo NEED FOR HASTE
Lady Mackworth Says Crew Shouted
Against Hurrying.

Cork, May 10.-Lady Mackworth,
daughter of d. A. Thomas, the Welsh
coal magnate, said in an interview to-
day that when she returned from her
cabin with life belt the deck was in
clined at a fearful angle, making it
impossible to get about. She still was
on deck when the vessel sank and was
drawn down with it, but came to the
surface and seized a board which was
floating past.
She offered corner of the board
to man who was struggling in the
water, but he soon relinquished his
hold. Lady Mackworth said she be-
gan to feel the effects of her INNER
sion and must have lost consciousness,
for the next she remembered she was
floating with a deck chair under her
After another long interval she again
became unconscious and has no idea
how she got aboard the trawler Blue
bell, which brought her to Queens
town.
Lady Mackworth said while there
certainly was some confusion aboard
the Lusitania, she thought the officers
and crew acted bravely, but was un-
able to understand why they kept
shouting there was no need for haste
as the ship would not sink, when it
obviously was impossible for it to keep

Santa Fe Official Tells What Is
Necessary for Prosperity.
"PrOper Direction of Public Ac-
tivity," Says J. r. KOOntz.
ARE IN A STAGNATION BONDAGE
Declares That Conditions Will
Change With Public Sentiment.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

All that is necessary for an era Of
prosperity throughout the United
States, and especially in the southwest,
is the proper direction of public activ-
ity, in the opinion of J. R. Koontz,
general freight agent of the Santa Fe.
1.-The country has the raw material
the manufacturing ability and the cap
ital," he said. when the market is
assured, the wave of prosperity, so
long looked for, will appear
Having in mind the market situa-
ton, Mr.. Koontz said that the crying
need of the country is railroad devel-
opment, which, in his opinion, would
be the controlling factor in the matte,
of markets, for the reason that the
railroads of all industries in America
are the heaviest purchasers of sup
plies. The railroads are not buying
heavily now he said, because they are
retrenching. rather than expanding.
1.-The reason for this he said, lis
that the cost of railroad operation and
maintenance has for years steadily in
creased, while the price of railway SER
vice has steadily decreased, making
the margin of profit too small to take
the chance of expansion, or wiping out
the profit altogether. Why don't the
railroads adjust their prices to meet
the increased cost of operation and
railroads are under the control of
commissions which usually lower rates
and seldom raise them.
THE solution of the problem is with
the people. So long as those who are
making the laws and running the COM
missions think the people favor rail-
way stagnation, they will continue to
shake down the railroads for their
profits, thus hampering the strong
lines and forcing the weak ones into
the hands of receivers. When these
same public officials learn that the
people are in favor of releasing the
railroads from their stagnatiOn bond
age and allowing them to spread out a
bit, the policy Of government regula-
ton will be modified to meet the needs
Of the new situation. Government
policies are dominated by public SEN
timent and the people make that SEN
timent. 1t is the duty of every citizen,
therefore, to give this subject his best
thought. The interests of the rail-
roads and the public are mutual. They
should be partners, for each depends
upon the other for advancement.
