years have earned more revenue than

fered at the Interstate Commerce
Commission hearing of the Al West
ern railroads petition for higher rates
on certain commodities.
Appearing in opposition to the rail
roads plea that they be permitted ia
charge rates that will yield them at
least 100000 year more revenue
Wayne Ellis, statistician of the Iowa
Railroad Commission. asserted that
the railroads, judged by statistics
which he compiled, were prosperous.
Their net revenues for the last
five years have been greater than
ever before" said Ellis. Compared
with 1900, the last five-year period

Less taxes, the total net shows cor
responding increase" 3.
The witness asserted that the rail-
roads were paying more dividends

which they we're able to borrow mon
ey compared favorably with the rate
which industrials had to pay. Ssl
At the opening of today's hearing

were earning, above all operating ex-
penses, all taxes and all interest on
bonds and debt. from to 16 per cent

the hands of the public.
The railroads. in seeking high
rates, are attempting to shift the bur-
den on the farmer" testified Henry

ATLANTIC FLEET TO PRACTISE
WAR GAME ON CRUISE To CANAL
Maneuvers, Problems of Sea
Strategy, and Drills Will

BY c. S. ALBERT.

WASHINGTON. d. -, April 10
The twenty-five day cruise of the
great Atlantic fleet, from Hampton
Roads 10 San Francisco, through the
Panama canal, will be utilized in va
r:OUs kinds of maneuvers. Problems
OF sea strategy, practise Of different
kinds, and all the details that go to

The Navy War College is now busy
mapping out the eyOlutioAs and man
cuv6rs which the feet will take up. A
G, mpletC plan for each Of the twenty.

In announcing the kind OF work
that will be taken up statement is
sued by the navy department says:
These maneuvers will be based
upon chart and game work that has
been done at the Naval War College,
and they will serve the double pur-
pose OF giving officers in the feet ac-
tual practise in the execution of pre-
arranged war studies and clearing up
any points which have been developed
in the games played at the college
regarding which doubt may exist as
to their practicability in actual feet

The occurrence of so many cases
of tuberculosis in the navy is alarm
has, in the opinion OF Surgeon 2.
Thompson. u. s. N. who has made
report on the subject He says that
most of such cases are infected after
the victims enter the navy. and that,
too, in spite OF the precautions, rules
and regulations in force to prevent
the disease. The damage to the ser
vice last year through the disease, he
says, was equivalent to 244 sick men
every day in the year, or the entire
crew OF a medium-sized gunboat.
Limited space on a battleship ne
cessarily is favorable to the spread Of
tuberculosis. The ship is generally
warm with sudden changes of temper
AZURE. Direct sunlight does not reach
the living spaces; the crew of bat
tIeshfp are troglodytes.
With all the circumstances OF life
on board ship known, 1t is not sur
prising, he says. that tuberculosis is

lest possible removal from the ship
of case is regarded as vital neces-
sity, but another important feature is
the early diagnosis.
Unfortunately, most cases, the sur
geon says, are firmly in the grip of
the disease before diagnosis is
made, yet it is doubtful whether tn
berculosis could be more readily dis
seminated anywhere than by an &C
tive agent coughing all night in a
small moistureladen space where a
large number of his fellows are sleep
ing In close formation.
., There is no standard with which
the findings in any one case can be
compared for the making of diagno-
sis. That becomes a fatal difficulty
In many cases. The X-ray has be-
come valuable aid in diagnosis, says
Surgeon Thompson, but it has. not
fulfilled expectations in determining
early tuberculosis, as the plates show
the marks, of previous attacks Of
pneumonia, asthma, etc.
In the midst of experiments with
an automatic rife, which promised to
be as far in advance of the present
army shoulder piece as that was of
the old Springfield single loader, the
army ordnance department has sus-
pended operations to await the deVel-
opments of the present war. The gun
under trial is constructed on the lines
of the automatic pistol which the
army now uses, so that it is unneces-
sary for. the soldier to pull the load
ing lever or even to press the trigger
for each separate shot. 1t has been
urged, however, that while that weap-
on is almost the equivalent of ma
chine gun, it will be impossible to
supply the individual soldier in the
trenches with ammunition to meet its
rapid rate of consumption.
Secretary Daniels has designated
Rear Admiral Charles F. Pond, now
superintendent OF the twelfth naval
district with headquarters at Mare
Island, Cal, to succeed Rear Admiral
Robert NJ. Doyle as commander-in-
chief of the Pacific fleet. Admiral
Doyle will be retired for age May )
next. Admiral Ponds successor has
not yet been selected.
After comforting with Maj.-gen.
Wood, commanding the eastern de-
partment Of the army, now en- route
to Washington from Cristobal, Secre-
tary Garrison will decide the time at
which the Panama canal forces will
be organized into a separate depart.
ment of the army. At present they
comprise part of the eastern depart
ment.
Under the proposed arrangement
the commander of the Panama troops
would report directly to the secretary
of war instead of through the com.
mander of the eastern department at
Governors Island, n. Y.
Secretary Garrison said today that
he WAS heartily in favor of having the
military Of the canal a separate de-
partment, but that it might be advis.
able to postpone putting the scheme
into operation until all of the forces
planned to guard the great waterway
have taken station in the Canal
Zone.
