 Tracks Tuesday Morning.


 A negro whose name is In doubt is at the Lawrence hospital suffering from serious injuries to the head which are likely to prove fatal. The man was found unconscious Tuesday morning lying alongside the New Ha- ven road tracks near Hallam street, New London. It is not known how the man incurred the injuries.
 The negro has been unconscious most of the time he has been at the hospital but he regained conscious ness long enough to give his name as Noah Cunningham of Danville, Va, to the hospital authorities. At board ing house where the man is supposed to have stayed, it was said his name was Simon Hall and his place of res- idence as Danville.
 Cunningham or Hall was found by members of the switching crew about 100 feet west of the HaIlam Street crossing and Night Yardmaster James F1nnegan was immediately notified pr. F. M. Dunn was quickly summoned and found that the man was seriously injured.
 He had him hurried to the Law renee hospital where it was found that the negro was suffering from three lacerations of the scalp and probable fractures of the skull besides 3 1aceration of the right hip and oth- CT injuries.
 There seems to be no doubt that the negro received the injuries by being struck by a train but whether he was wall1>g the track CT was injured while attempting to board or alight from a train is not known. He has not been conscious sufficiently long to be able to tell how he received the in juries.
 The negro is about five feet nine inches high and weighs about 190 pounds. He is well developed and was in workingmans attire. A A calibre Winchester revolver a foot long was found on his person and all six cham bers were fully loaded. The negro had evidently been imbibing freely.

That the earnings of the New Haven road for the month of August VIII eX- ceed preliminary estimates by quite a large sum and in fact will he encour- agingly large is the announcement which the Boston News bureau makes that will be of great interest to the public in general and especially to those who are interested in this big railroad property. The news bureau figures that the earnings for August may even surpass the $7.U80,0G0 record of last June. It goes on to say:
 During the first September fortnight freight business was over per cent, and aggregate revenues over per cent ahead of 1915.
 July surplus, s811,00O after all charges, was by far the best monthly statement for more than two years, and August will show up finely 1n net The operating department is trying hard to avoid congestion; with the other New England lines it has just filed tariffs continuing the so-called track storage charges against Boston consignees and shippers who detain freight cars.
 "The locomotives being put into use by the New Haven should substantial ly supplement it's efforts to keep equip ment moving, and reduce operating costs.
 ''Benumbed stockholders, who clung to their investment through the Bran deis attacks eliminating in the New Haven's expense account being thrown wide open, are not apt to become too alarmed at decent newspaper headlines of a traffic officials testimony before the interstate commerce commission. He declared that the road has the highest actual cost of operation of any railroad in the United States. His re- marks evidently were intended more for rate argument purposes than as in- Vestment news.
 'FWe have previously pointed out that the New Haven in the past year made over $2,00O,G00 extraordinary charges for maintenance, increasing operating costs to that extent. It's ratio of expenses to gross, however, was below that of numerous other large eastern roads.
 New Haven, of course, spends @ lot of money for equipment rental, which in the bookkeeping methods prescribed is not listed under expenses. Returns for the past fiscal twelvemonth will show the abnormal debit balance of $2, ,188,000 for freight car hire, as con- trasted with only a smal debit in l915-15, and with credits in every pre- vious year back to 1910.
 The percentage of the New Haven's expenses proper to it's revenues in the year ended June 30, 1916, was 6S.93. against 7o54 for Pennsylvania, 71.0S

The average ratio for all the big roads in the United States was 63.36 per cent. last year, against over 70 per cent. in the preceding two years, and in recent years the New Haven's ratio has run below the average ratios of the big eastern roads. In 1915 New HaVen's ratio, 67.49 per cent, was well under that of other leading roads in the east. Due in important part to the anti -Mellen crusade, the New Ha- ven's ratio ran up to 72.SS per cent.
