'"rhe net surplus on August / was
only 1856 cars" the paper continu-

that of 1907, which was 27,S36 cars

LOTTERY ONCE USED
TO BUILD ROADS
Method Followed In Tennessee 100
Years Ago Told in Motor Age.

Tennessee's first state aid in ooNd
building was provided by means of a
lottery, according to 4 story appear
ing in this weeks issue of the Motor
Age, describing some interesting
steps in this work that took place
more than 100 years ago.
The article states: THE state aid
at that time was provided not by
means of motor license, but by the
sale of lottery tickets and the funds
secured by this unholy means were
used to construct part of the present
Bristol~to-Memphis highway across
the state The road also marks one
of the first steps in cooperation be-
tween the government and the state
in road building, for all surveys were
made by the federal government"
This road it is stated, was LINK
between the Cumberland valley and
the city of Washington, in a region
which was the hunting ground of the
indians of this part of the country.
An Indian chief put up the first toll
gate in the state and here was origi- |
mated the expression: PAY your
toll or loose your scalp" However
the troops removed this sighn.
The article was written for the
Mota age by Robert B. Shapinsky, !
its local correspondent. 1t states
that these facts were unfolded as q
result of investigations made by O. NJ |
West, assistant secretary of the state
lighw2y commission.

REVOLT
IN SENATE
Ten Democrats Side With Republi.
can Minority OnHearing
MAY PROL0NG CONGRESS
Opens Way for EffOts to Displaee
ReyeIue Bill Unfinished BUSINESS

Washington, Aug. 21.-An uneS
pected democratic revolt in the sen
ate today resulted in the Immigration
bill being taken up in iefi4nce The
democratic caucus and opened the
way for efforts to displace the reye-
nue. bliI as unfinished business, an aC
ton which might indefinitely rolong
the session of congress.
Ten democratic senators voted
with the solid republican minority
to take up the immigration bill - ~
a motion by Senator Smith of -"Ith
Carol ~, chairman Cf the inmisra-
3n COMMITTEES. They were -Nsu-
hurst, Beckham, Chamberlain, Cul-
berson, Harbwick Lane, Myers, Over
man, Smith of South Carolina and
Vardeman.
Debate began on the measure i'm
mediartly and proceeded until :
o'clock, when the revenue bill ant =
matically came before the sen te.
Senator Smith then moved to dis
place the revenue bill. provoking an
all-afternoon discussion which will
be resumed when the senate meets
tomorrow.
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign rotations committee, was par
ticularly aroused over the action of
the levolters. He charged them
with treachery to the party in over
turning the decision of the democrat
ic caucus to postpone action on the
immigration bill until December.
Senator Stones words aroused he
ire of Senators Hardwick and Smith
of South Carolina.
Il promised my constituents that
| would do all in my power to secure
the passage of the immigration BIZ
said Senator Hardwick, land | pr
pose to stand by that promise. Ny
constituency is greater than the nj
ocratic caucus"
Senator Smith insisted that the
immigration bill never had been d
partisan issue. We should shut ont
DOORS" he said" until we can Amer
icanize the crowd we now have, SO
that men on this floor might fight
for the American flag without fear
ing half-baked foreigners whose al
legiance, in their hearts. is to anoth-
er country"
Todays development shut off de
bate on the revenue bill, but the ad-
ministration leaders hope to get it II
der way tomorrow.

RAIL.AY NAIL PAY:
TO INVESTIGATE SUBJECT

Washington-The annual postoffcis
appropriation bill recently passed by
congress contains a clause directing
tn einterstate commerce commission
to take up for investigation and re-
port IL fixing of rates the system
of payment to the railroads for car
rying mail The commission is au-
thorized to test the relative merits Of
payment by weight and by space.
The railroads have long contended
that they were underpaid for this SER
vice and that they were losing mil
lions of dollars year under the sys-
tenn of payment now in eject. 1t was
felt that the interstate commerce com
mission, on account of the informa-
ton at its command regarding all
phases of railroad operation, is in the
best position to determine the merits
of the case.

TEST FOR FLAWS IN
RAILS DISCOVERED
Cause of Many Accidents May Be
Eliminated.

New York, Aug. 17.-The New York
Central railroad announced today
perfection of a process for elimina-
ton of hidden baws in Steel rails,
onp of the chief causes of train
wrecks. Already, it was declared.
the New York Central has reduced
rail breaks on its own lines from
one break in 600 rails to one in
142, 900.
The process was developed by the
Now York Central's staff of scien-
lists, under direction of Hlimmin r..
Dudley. 1t comes after forty years
of research by Mr.. Dudley, and, it is
asserted, solves a problem for which
experts had declared there was no
solution. Flaws, on interior tissues,
as they are called. are taken from
the rails in reheating plants attach
ed to rail rolling mills. The process,
it is claimed, is positive remedy.
Accidents caused by broken rails
in 1915 numbered 3.345, killed POS
persons, injured 7,341, and caused
property loss of nearly $4,OOO,OOO
Steel manufacturers have been
asked to meet with railroad officials
in several eastern cities within the
next few days to consider ,he new
method.
