CLUB TAKES UP
vERIF|CATI0N Of
RAILROAD FACTS
Committee Starts Collecting
Data on Receipts and Ex-
penses Before Supporting
Increase in Fares.

After considering all the manifes-
tations Of the railroads assertion that
they are losing money on passenger
and freight service, directors Of the
Commercial club last night voted to
get closer to the facts and conduct
an investigation Of actual figures be-
fore voting on the support Of the re-
peal Of the two cent rate law and the
substitution of the two and one-half
cent fare.
The matter was turned over to the
committee on steam railroads COM
posed Of Pettis A. Reid, chairman, B.
T. Hill, vice chairman, c. H. Kramer,
w. H. Kienker, F. O. Chambers, Con-
rad S. Heet, Ira C. Wood and Charles
A. Mcclure. The committee was in
struCted to communicate with the in
terstate commerce commission and
other official bodies which have pass
ed opinions on the financial condi-
tons of the railroads.
Investigate Statements.
The directors heard the railroad Of
ficials last week but were not salts
fled with a statement Of the fact that
out of each dollar, .forty-four cents IS
paid for wages and twenty-five cents
for materials.
The cost of operating freight and
passenger trains per mile and the
items making up the cost will be in
quired into as we'll as the amount
and source Of the railroads revenues
The committee also expects to go
back a few years if it is possible to
obtain the Information and ascertain
the effect Of interurban competition
on local passenger train service.
The committee took as manifesto
lions of the railroads claims the cur
tailment of service, the retrenchment
policy adopted year ago and the
fact that the railroads are not making
new improvements and are making
little effort to guard against deprecia-
ton Of property.
AS soon as the information is OBJ
tanned a noon luncheon meeting will
be held at the Y. NJ. c. A. to go over
the committees report.

took advantage of the discussion on
the need of improvements by coming
to bat with the suggestion that mo-
tor ladder truck was badly needed. He
never Overlooks bet to get in good
word for his beloved fire department.
Bavis Asks Cooperation.
The discussion on a policy for pub
tic improvements came to a close with
an address by Mr.. Bavis.
He deplored the fact that in the
past the board and council had not
been acting in a spirit of cooperation.
He said council had been constantly
complaining of conditions and embar-
RAISING the board with its criticisms,
so the board started to find out if
council was constantly complaining
just because it was a chronic kicker
or because it was justified in kicking.
And We found out that you have been
justified in your kicking" the board
president remarked.
This city is badly in need of many
vitality important permanent improve
ments.' he said. "Now we can follow
out the policy of former administra
tons of ignoring the situation which
has confronted our government for
many years and passing it along to
the next fellow at the end of our three
years, which has been customary. or
we can do our duties as public officers
and apply some remedy for the situa-
ton. But to do this we must have
money. Our income is barely enough
to meet operating expenses for in
crease in taxable valuations has not
kept pace with increases in municipal
expenses. Right now for every dollar
this city is expected to spend we have
thirty cents"

brought up to date on the records
This work has been going on through

change in the standing of cases on
the dockets as usual at the opening
of a court term.
Judge Fox announced today that the
docket is now in unusually good con-
ditiOn and that he would keep the
court busy until hot weather. More
cases are set down for trial now than
have been at any recent court term
The probate docket has always been
kept in good condition and there was
little to be done to 1t yesterday. This
docket is small almost every case in
it is a live one.
In the case OF the civil docket,

intention of bringing to trial but to
hasten payment of debts and for sim
liar reasons. Many divorce trials are
prevented by leaving the cases stand

couples to be reunited.

only players who deserve a right to
share in the receipts are the players
who have assisted In the winning of
the pennants. To give the other play

same as sharing raise in pay which
you got with all the other fellows in

The players who win the pennants

diamond hustling all the time. They

JESSE CAREY A WONDER.

One of the athletic marvels of the
present day is Jesse Carey, who at
the age of 43. ranks as one of the
very best roller skaters in the world
Carey has been skating for more than
twenty years. and he seems to be lust
about as good today as he was when
In the prime of his youth
One OF Carey's most remarkable
performances was that in Paris in
1910 when he covered 2S0 miles dur
ing twenty-four hours. He skated con-
t1nuously, never leaving the track for
a minute during the entire twenty
four hours. Other contestants. much
younger than Carey, were forced to
make frequent rests, and the result
was that Carey finished many miles
ahead OF his nearest competitor.
In Brussels Carey defeated nearly
flrty contestants in an unlimited race.
he STATED fOrtythree miles without a
stop and by that time every other man
In the race had been forced off the
track.
Carey holds every European roller
skating record from one mile up to
tWenty-four hours.
carey mingled in the recent twenty
four-hour roller skating contest in
New York, and at the finish was fresh
err than any of the youths who were
able to stand the grind. Careys part
ner lost a lap during the last hour of
the race. and 1t was this loss that lost
Carey the chance to take part in the
great sprint during the last hour of
the grind. AS 1t was, Carey's team
finished near the top and grabbed off
nice slice Of money
Carey was born In Pittston. Pa. He
is just a trlfle over five feet tall, and
weighs but 115 pounds.
