Colorado Soldiers With
Brutal Treatment

Washington, March "A scathing

The committee reports that no evidence

The strike was settled long before

The committee appeals however, for

ionable homes here and in Washing
ton, ID. c., to-day filed divorce pro-

aged man became attracted by her
beauty. He began paying her mark
ed attention. Five years after the

Hill were married.
Mrs. Alsop since leaving her hus-
band has said that it made her feel
uncanny being constantly in the COM
pany of people many years her senior.

Penrose Election Probe

into the charges of Representative \.
Mitchell Palmer that S1,000,000 was
expended to elect Senator Penrose to
the United States Senate last Novem-
ber. Action on the Norris resolution,
providing for an inquiry into the cleo
ton in Pennsylvania and in the pri-
mary in Illinois, was indefinitely post
poned to-day by the committee on
contingent expenses.
The advice of Senator Williams,
Democrat, the chairman, and Senator
Reed, of Missouri another Democrat,
led the committee to refuse to consider
an appropriation for the expenses of
such an inquiry. 1t is not thought
likely that the next Congress will au-
thorize the inquiry.

be completed this year. as the report
says new freight station and other
improvements at Harrisburg"
Future Looks Bright
Confidence in the business future of
the railroads and the country is eX-
pressed by President Rea. This con-
fidence is based on the victory of the
railroads in the per cent. freight
rate case. which he interprets as an
evidence that capital invested in rail-
roads will be protected, and he urges
that larger powers be given to the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
furtherance of such protection.
Great significance attaches to this
hopeful expression since it accom-
panies the poorest annual earnings re-
port made by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road in many years. The net profits
of the company, despite the largest
gross business with the sole exception
of, 1913, in the company's history,
were at the lowest level since 1908.
Net income applicable to dividends
was equal to only 6.S3 per cent. on the
capital stock of nearly 100000, 900,
compared with S.39 per cent. in the
previous year. The gross earnings.
swelled somewhat by inclusion of
revenues from the Northern Central
Railway for the last half year, the
Loo So - L.
effective July l, 1914, were $751;
1S4.S22, a decrease of $10,316,667
from 1913.
Referring to the Interstate Com
merce Commissions decision. Presi-
dent Rea says that while the revenues
obtained from the increases allowed.
as well as the prospective revenue to
be derived from sources indicated by
the commission, will be helpful to the
company, il is of almost equal impor-
tance to the owners of railroads and
to persons dependent upon their sue
cessful operation and service to know
that their interests will he protected
under the law and that 1t is the eX-
pressed intention of the commission to
aid in the solution of the problem of
constantly increasing, expenses and
other burdens placed upon the rail-
roads.

THE commission should be en-
larged and so organized" President
Rea declares. Gas to be able to deal
promptly with the important railroad
questions which under the existing
scheme of governmental regulation
must be considered by it. The position
of a commissioner should be placed
beyond political influence by a long
tenure of office, and the compensation
should be sufficient to attract and re-
tain men of the widest experience and
greatest ability"
