HARRY IAAW N BAD
MENTAL CONDITION

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17.-It Is re-
ported from the st. Mary's hospital
where Harry Thaw Is being treated
for the self inflicted wounds in his
attempt to commit suicide that he is
not recovering as rapidly as was at
first expected.
His mental condition Is considered
to be In q very bad state and there Is
some apprehension whether or not he
will recover his mental balance again.
His condition Is so bad that he does
not realize where he is or what has
happened to him DR.. Kirby says
the depression which seems to weigh
on the patients mind was caused part
ly from the loss OF blood which Thaw
suffered after slashing his throat and
wrists with the razor.
The depression also has another
contributing factor in the general
physical condition OF the patient. The
physicians say 1t will be several weeks
before Thaw will be able to leave the
hospital and answer the charges
against him They say his mind is not
showing the improvement that has
been hoped for.

FOR Los ANGELES CRIME

Late yesterday Sheriff Joe Harris
arrested E. d. Williams on informa-
tion from Los Angeles which charges

registration area and for most of the
cities there was a substantial excess
OF births over deaths, but this excess
was most pronounced In those local.

population Is largest. The mortalit!
rate OF infants under one year OF agc

RESERVE BD. MEMBER
PLEADS FOR RAILWAYS

NEW YORK. Jan. 17.-Frederic A..
Deiano. member OF the federal re-
serve board. made a strong plea for
more liberal treatment OF American
railroads in a speech at the dinner
OF the Railway Business association
here this evening.
The roads can not attract from In.
vestors the capital necessary TO their
development II they are limited to a
certain percentage OF profit, such as
SIX. seven or eight per cent. he argued.
Investors must have the chance to
make more than that, he declared, I'm
order to recompense them for their
risk that they will make nothing or
even lose what they have put into
railroad stocks.
He said:
Hallway regulation today demands
public consideration, not so much be-
cause the railway corporations are
asking for 1t, as because past hostility
as reacting upon the public in the
shape OF inferior service and dimin.
ished ability TO meet public demands.
An increasing number or people
now see that just an mismanaEe-
ment hurts the communities as well
as employees. stockholders and credit.
OTIS, so unwise regulation or unjustly
burdensome regulation hurts not only
employees. stockholders and creditors,
but also reacts TO the injury OF the
public"
Mr.. Delano then discussed four fal.
lacies which he said were common in
discussln gthe railroad problem. These
were ~ that rates are made or can
be made upon the cost" theory; (2)
that the essential question TO deter.
mine aa to the proprlety OF a rate
was whether II was sufficient 10 Yield
say SIX, seven or eight per cent on
the capital invested: (3) that stock
should not be issued as a bonus to
buyers OF bonds. as Is the custom in
industrial enterprises: (4) that yalu.
alton OF railways will have any real
bearin gon rate making.
Private capital" said Mr.. Delano,
could never have been Induced to
enter so hazardous an enterprise
without any government guarantees
OF profit. yet with a limitation as to
maximum possible profits, either spe.
cified or implied. The percentage OF
railway bankruptcies has been great
II railway fails It must In most
cases keep on doing business and abb
sorbing capital. Hundreds Of miles,
especially branches. are a liability
and a drag upon their owners. II
you offer the investor a reasonable
certainty OF say five per cent and no
possibility in excess Of six or seven,
no sane man will accept" ..
