RAILROADS SPEEDING
UP FOR WAR COUNTS
They Are Handling Much More Coal I'm
der Efficient Meth

Washington, July 2l.-Reports com
piled by the railroads war board show
that the railroads of the country in then
co operative efforts to realize in the in
terest of national defense the maximum
of transportation efficiency have already
effected an extraordinary improvement
in the amount of coal handled.
Reports just available show that in
June the railroads of the country hauled
1922 cars of bituminous coal, an in
crease of 262 per cent over June of last
year.
That the railroads are also providing
a much more nearly adequate trans
portation service for all classes OF freight
is indicated by the fact that the untitled
car orders, or what is called the "car
shortage" shows a reduction on June 30
Of almost so per cent from the situation
May /. The untitled car orders May l
were 1882; on June 80 they had been
reduced to 77,l44.
The railroads war board reports it
is receiving hearty cooperation from
regulating bodies and shippers in all
parts of the country.

ton toward speeding up the govern

thals that his great ability can give"
Denman won his contention that the
proposed two government shipyards
should be on land the government owned,
not leased.
Goethals is still to furnish she board
with information on his project to fabri-
cate 400 steel ships, and some serious
differences may arise over s300,000,000
contracts for this work.
The state department will settle the

Wandering British and other alien ship
ping under construction in the United

It may be several weeks before the

valid, chairman of the defense councils
committee on supplies, asserted yester-
day that members of the shoe and leath.
err committee had absolutely nothing to
do directly or indirectly with the award

tions regarding such awards. His state
ment was made in reply to assertions

ment shoe contracts.
Mr., Rosenwald added that recent con.
tracts for millions of pairs of army shoes
were let by the army quartermaster's
department to lowest bidders after sealed
bids had been opened in public.
"The principal work done by the COM
mittee on supplies and the committee on
shoe and leather industries" he added,
"was in arranging for leather options be-
fore the bids were requested and in send
ing out requests to "a reputable manu-
facturers urging them to submit bids in
order to secure as much competition as
possible.
Large tanners have advised me that
the method pursued by the government
resulted in an unquestioned saving of
from 25 to so cents pair from prices
which would have been bid had the mar
Set been left to the normal operation of

who disappeared after he was indicted
in June on charge of stealing 100000,
the property of his depositors, is now

The message from the American con-
sui at Vigo said that Kennedy denied
his guilt and announced himself willing
to waive extradition and return here for

by representatives of the state banking
department in June, it was found that

money to him in order to have it sent
to Hungary
The investigation disclosed the fact
that about $50 small banks and $500
individuals had either purchased stock

PRACTICALLY ALL
STORAGES REPORT
Full Records of Meat, Poultry and Dairy
Supplies Are Given Voluntarily
to the Government.

Practically every storage company in
the United States is now cooperating
with the government in reporting the
cold storage holdings of food products
according to a statement just made by
the bureau of markets, United States
department of agriculture. These reports
include meat, poultry, eggs, butter,
cheese, and apples, and are issued month
ly by that bureau.
When the work first started, in 1914.
the bureau says, only few firms report
ed in response to the requests for infor-
nation; and there never has been any
legislation which made the submitting of
these reports compulsory. Gradually
one firm after another volunteered its
reports, until now the field is almost
completely covered. The Importance of
the statements of storage holdings never
has been so great, in the opinion of the
department, as it is to-day in connection
with the world.food crisis
Value to the Public.
Through the cooperation of the press,
the public is kept informed of the facts,
and the officers of food administration.
for example, are able to make specific
on the basis of the re-
ports. No monthly cold-storage state
ment issued by the department gives less
than 9s per cent of the entire holdings
and most of them are fully complete
The margin of two per cent. or less is
partially due to delay in reporting, be-
cause of unusual conditions at ware
house, at the time the reports are due
on the first Of each month. Even then
a telegraphic request from the depart |
ment usually brings a wired answer
which fills out the report.
On the present meat situation, for ex-
ample, the report shows that there is a
storage response to the prospective de. |
hands for war emergencies, and that
more than a hundred million pounds of
rozen beef are in storage, or more than
lalf again as much as was on hand last
-ear at the same time. Moreover. dur
ng the month of June this year the
torages kept on increasing their stocks
nd added nearly five per cent. to what
hey already had on hand; whereas in
ole the storages which reported showed
realty reduced supplies, a fourth or
per cent. decrease being noted during
une year ago.

Railroads Will Prosper Through the War

B. G. Forbes says in the August Amer
lean Magazine:
Transportation is ranked as our sec
ond industry, with its 100000 employees
on steam railroads alone and its almost
$50, 600, 100000 of invested capital There
will be comparatively little dislooation
of skilled employment in railroading
proper; but, as in Europe, movement
has already set in to install women as
clerical workers, and we are likely to
see this substitution of women for men
carried to considerable length on our
railroads, our street cars, our elevated
roads and our subways. As for railway
investments, they stand a chance of far.
ing better than they did before. Already
the nations railway system is under the
supervisory control of small body of
railroad presidents appointed by the gov
eminent, plan early introduced in Eng
land, and if interference with regular
traffic and normal earnings becomes very
extensive a financial solution may be
found by guaranteeing the payment OF
dividends, as was done in Britain. There
fore, the railway outlook need occasion
no special alarm"

NEW YORK GIANTS
PICKED AS WINNERS
Shortly After Hallway Point in the 1917
Race They Are Leading the Ma
tional League By Com.
Portable Margin.

New York, July 2i,--Based upon thu
records Of the past five years, the leaC
OF the New York National league club
shortly after the halfway point of the
season was reached, would appear to in
dieate that the team would win the sea
Tor league pennant. The race is so close
in the American league, however, that
no such conclusion can be entertained in
advance. Including the games played on
July 10 the New York Giants led their
nearest rivals, the Philadelphia club, by
% points. In the American race the Bos'
ton combination had but three-point
margin over the Chicago White Sox.
A comparison of these figures with
those of July 10 for each season since
1912 shows that without exception a
club leading either the National or Amer
lean leagues by so points or better on
the middle of July captured the pennant
and figured in the worlds series. Both
the Philadelphia Athletics and the Brook
Ign teams were able to come Through
with a triie less margin and the Phillies
ran a nine point lead into a pennant in
1916, but this was an exception.
The New York club won the 1912 pen
nant by SO points after having margin
OF l26 points on July Is of that year.
The following season the Giants in
creased 73point lead TO 81 at the close
of the race. In 1914 the team had a
40'point advantage at midseason, yet
Boston captured the flag by so points.
Philadelphia played nine point lead
into Appoint margin of safety the
next year, while last season Brooklyn,
which had 49point leeway in July,
saw the same cut down to 10 points
with the final game of October.
In the American league Boston had an
81 point lead and won with 92 in 1912,
while the Philadelphia Athletics in 1918
won. by As points after leading by ia
IN July Is. The next season the situa-
ion was reversed, for the Athletics were
IS points ahead at midseason and added
20 more for safety before the schedule
vas completed. In 1915 Chicago led the
eague at the halfway mark by six points
,ut Boston won the pennant by 20 points
n October. Last season New York Yves
moving the way on July 10 by IL points
nut again Boston showed its fighting |
bility in the final weeks of the race by I
orging to the front and taking the flag
" 10 points.
