In answer to the charges made by Hughes in regards
to the attempted settlement of the railroad controversy
the following figures from the New York World are
submitted
The net earnings of the principal railroads of the
country increased only 266 per cent during the last fiscal
year. The total net revenue of these roads was only
S1176SO4OOO an increase last year of only $685.
$4,000.
These are the railroads that about to be ruined by
an eighthour day which will add to their operating ex-
penses S6OOOOOO year according to the railroad pres
dent and year according to the brotherhood
chiefs.
Taking the railroad figures basis, an eight hour
day would decrease the net revenue to patry llo
8 which in would be barely IN ex-
cess of the total net revenue of last year.
1t ought to be plain enough to anybody that the rail-
roads are sure to be ruined by eigh-hour day. NO
wonder they appealed to the unfortunate shippers to m
tervene and prevent the Government from pressing TINS
crown of thorns upon the brow of Wall Street. Such
picture of railroad poverty and desttuton as the re-
ports to the Interstate Commerce Commission present
ought to furnish new inspiration to the Hughes
eloquence. IRA. AdV.)

MANAGER
SCOTT IS CHEERING
Says Car Shortage Is Evidence
Of Prosperity and Not a
Calamity

Portland, Or, Sept 20.-Criticism of
Oregon shippers and unfavorabe com
parsons of their spirit of cooperation
with that of California shippers were
voiced today by W. R. Scott, general
manager of the Southern Pacific in
his opening statement at the state pub
lie service committees investigation
into the northwestern freight ear fam
inc which threatens ruin to many Ore
gon lumbermen.
"In California there is also serious
shortage" said Scott, "but the people
there seem to look upon it in differ
ent way. Tney regard it as an evidence
of prosperity rather than a calamity
| He asserted the California shippers
listed the shortage causes as: unpreee-
dented activity in eastern manufactur'
ing; deficiency of ship tonnage on
both coasts; closing of the Panama
canal; congestion of freight ears in
builders to fill an order for $500 new
| box ears.
Joseph N. Teal, counsel for a mum
Der of interested shippers, asked Scott
if the opening of the northern gateway
would not relieve the situation. Scott
refused to answer, on the ground that
he was an operating official and that
traffic official was qualified to reply
"That' IS the trouble we've had al
along" retorted Teal. "When we want
to know what the facts are, we have
to ask many experts in many different
lines of service"
Scott estimated the famine would con
tinue until the end of October unless the
balated cars should be delivered with
uneXpeeted speed.

Whitman was easily renominated in

William NJ. Bennett by majority that
may exceed 100000. Seabury won the
democratic nomination for governor
without opposition.
The nip and tuck fight took place
in the progressive primaries with both
candidates battling for the bull moose
vote. Whitman was supported by the
Perkins-Roosevel faction of the pro
gressive party, advocating return OF
the progressives to the G. o. p. and
Colonel Roosevelt had written letter
opposing the nomination of Seabury
justice Seabury was backed by the
anti Hughes element among the progres
| sives, composed Of those who wished tc
hold the party together, and those who
are supporting President Wilson.
Only 10000 progressives were enroll
cd in the state and the vote was ex.
terlnely light.
Gcvernor Whitman had majority OF
r2,700 IN 3,l92 cl"ction district, cut of
total OF 5,119. The democratic eandi
date, however, was gaining some
strength as delayed returns arrived
from upstate and there was a possibil
ity that Whitman might be nosed out.

Never mind how often you have tried

For clearing the skin and making II
vigorously healthy, zemo is an exceptional
remedy. 1t is not greasy, sticky or
watery and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat

another jolt when democratic state

Difficulty Is Iii Getting Vic
Tins Who Paid for Silence
to Tell Of 1t

Washington, Sept 20.-Drastic plans
tending toward learning from victims
of the nationwide blackmailers syn
dicate all they know regardless of the
fact that testimony might publicly soil
regulations of scores of wealthy men
and women, was one of the chief OBJ
jects of the conference here today of
heads of department of justice bureaus
in Chicago, New York and Philadel-
phia.
Department officials admitted to-
day that the very nature of the sordid
system by which wealthy persons were
forced to submit themselves to black
mail made in obvious that obtaining
consent of witnesses to testify public
ly regarding incidents which they paid
heavily to keep secret, would be the
most difficult feature of their fight
to send Matchmaking ringleaders and
their confederates to Jail. 1t was ex
planned the conference called today
would therefore spend most of its time
considering how results may be OBJ
tanned with the smallest degree OF
notoriety for the witnesses to bt
called.
That the cases against the black
mailing syndicate will be pushed, how
ever, without consideration of reputa
tions, if another way cannot be fount
was positively stated at the depart
ment. AS evidence of the determine
tion Of the department to "see th'
thing through" Attorney Gregory
with A. Bruce Belaskie, his chief O.
investigation, as his lieutenant, tool
personal charge of the case.
Besides the matter of witnesses to
days conference was to devise plan
for combining as much as possible al
prosecutions pending at Chicago, Phil
adelphia and New York.
