No NEW Federal
ACTION AGAINST ROADS
Attorney General Indicates
Suits Cover Practices Con-
demned by Commission
LOREE TELLS OF LOSS
TO THE RAILROADS

WASHINGTON, Aug ia.-Attorney
General Gregory indicated yesterday
that no new Federal suits against
anthracite railroads were likely 10
follow yesterdays decision Of the ln-
terstate Commerce Commission order
ing sweeping reductions in freight
rates and holding the carriers guilty
Of unlawful and discriminatory prac-
tees
Mr.. Gregory thinks all the acts
cited probably are converted in suits
already instituted by the Government
against the roads involved.
L. F. Loree, president Of the Della
ware and Hudson Company in a
statement made public here, said IN
part
THE best year for the last sixteen
for the anthracite carriers was in
1907. In that year the net corpor-
ate income averaged only TAI per
cent. OF the cost OF their properties,
while in 1914. the worst year, II fell
TO 5.o6 per cent
From 1907 TO 1914 the anthracite
railways spent In actual cash for the
extension and improvement Of their
properties $434.344.536, but in 1914,
their net operating income was Sl7,-
PCS ,036 less than in 1907. Omittine
the Pennsylvania system, the total
gross receipts from all operating
sources Of other railways serving the
anthracite region in 1918 was S274,-
sos, $50. and Of this aggregate Ss5,61S,-
4S6 or 81 per cent, came from the
transportation OF anthracite.
"Disregarding their passenger bust
ness, which all authorities agree does
not produce an adequate return upon
the property used IN the public ser
vice, Il appears that 44.9 per cent OIL
the freight receipts Of these compan'
les was derived from anthracite. Tt
strike at the anthracite revenues o.
these carriers is 10 strike at the very
heart Of their business. Distance TO
distance, the present receipts per ton
per mile. from anthracite traffic, d.
not exceed the average from othe
freight
1T Is possible the total loss Of rev
enue viii be greater than the aggre
gate granted TO all the carriers in Oh
eastern rate cases. The newspaper
have been inclined to feel that III
railroads were receiving great benefit
az the hands Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. II is quite evi
dent that their disposition is 10 Civ

 ITS ON ITS PRISONERS
(From Sundays Daily.)

It is shown by the records of the board of supervisors for the year 1914 that the county of Yavapai made net profit of SHAY on the county jail This means that all the prison CTS were fed, the salary of the cook and jailor paid and all foodstuffs necessary for feeding all the prison CTS were paid and balance of the amount named left to the good in the county treasury. This is on ac- count of the fact that the govern ment of the. United States during the year occupied the jail by its prison CTS from various portions of the state paying the county. in cash therefor on a contract. It is shown that the average, cost of meals to prisoners during the ycar, including the salaries of the cook and jailor, was eighteen cents and q fraction each.
