Climax of Search
Thaw's attempt at self-destruction
was the climax to q search for him
which began here Tuesday. He is
wanted by the New York authorities
on charges of kidnapping and assault
ing Frederick Gump, Jr., the 19-year-
old Kansas City high school youth.
According to private detective en-
ployed by the Thaw family, the slayer
of Stanford White told him the Gump
charges were an attempt at blackmail
and that he was planning to surrender
to the New York police rather than be
treated like an ordinary prisoner"
He had been at the home of Mrs.
Elizabeth A. Tacot. in West Philadel-
phia, where he was found weak from
the loss of blood from his wounds and
blood stained razor by his side, since
early Tuesday morning. 1t had been
generally believed that he had left the
city and the first intimation the police
had of his presence at the West Phila-
delphia house was when they were
notified by the private detective that
he had attempted to commit suicide.
He had been introduced at the Tacot
home as "Mr. West" the detective de-
claring that he wanted to keep Thaw
in seclusion until he was "in a fit con-
dition' to face the New York authori-
ties.
Friends of Thaw here advanced the
theory that his attempt to end his life
may have suggested itself to him
through the suicide at Atlantic City of
Bernard w. Lewis as he was about to
be arrested in connection with the
murder of Maize Colbert, the Phila-
delphia artists model. During the in
vestigation of this case Thaw was
recognized by newspapermen in the
corridor in front of the district attor-
ney's office where a number of wit
nesses were being questioned. He ap-
peared anxious to learn the details of
the case and readily consented to an
interview, in which he expressed the
opinion that the police had not proved
concluslvely that Lewis had killed the
girl. as they claim. 1.-The suicide of a
person wanted by the police is not
necessarily a confession of guilt"
Thaw is quoted as having said.
Oliver Brewer. an alleged agent of
Thaw, who was indicted in New York
on charges of conspiracy to kidnap.
was to be given a hearing to-day.
Brewer was arrested in this city last
Tuesday and is at liberty under $1,000
bail. A number of papers said to have
been given him by Thaw were found
in his possession.

RAILWAY INCOME
HASLOW RETURN
Earnings Fail to Reach Six Pei
cent. Notwithstanding
Busy Times

The billion-dollar net operating in
States in the calendar year 1915, in
spite of the fact that it breaks all pre-
vious records. represents a return on
the property investment of less than 6
per cent, says the Railway Age Ga
zette
THE fact that both the gross and
net earnings of the railways of the
United States in 1916 have been greater
than for any other year in their history
is being given wide publicity, and some
railway officers who have been worry
ing about poor earnings for long time
are now concerned for fear that their
present big earnings will be taken by
the public as an indication of a per-
manent condition and that 1t may lead
to new attacks on them in the way of
demands for reductions in rates or re-
quirements that will cause permanent
increases in their expenses.
In the issue of September 20 we
publlshed an estimate that the earn
lnSs for the fiscal year ending on June
~ represented return of 5.6 per cent.
on the investment and later available
hgures confirm the result For the
calendar year an estimate compiled by
the Bureau of Railway Economies from
Commerce Commission, as they are
available, together with what is known
as to the trend for December and a part
OF November, shows a net return of SO
per cent.
Profits Per Mile
For 1915 it was S72,6S9 per mile
and an estimate of $4,000 for 1916 is
very conservative. The operating in
come of roads earning over $1,000, ,OOO
as officially reported for the fiscal year,
was $1,029,2 ,241 900.
For the twelve months comprising
the calendar year the net operating in
come, estimated on the same basis and
allowing for the more rapid increase in
operating expenses during the winter
months, vas approximately $1,071, ,000,-
600, or $67,000,0 600 greater than for the
fiscal year, or S4,331 per mile.
AS long as the earnings of the roads
do not exceed per cent. they can
hardly be charged with making un-
reasonable profits. especially when it is
known that the operating expenses
necessary to handle the abnormal vol
ume of traffic are already beginning to
increase faster than the gross earn
ings."

Burgess Mishler, of Mechanics
burg, Vetoes Ordinance Reduc-
ing Charge For Using Street

Mechanicsburg. Pa, Jan. 12. -
After passing the Valley Railways
ordinance at the meeting of the town
council lest month, reducing the Ii
cense fee for Main street from $1,000
to $500, H. A. Mishler, the burgess
vetoed TIE same at the regular meet
ing last evening. An effort was made
by members of the council to pass it
over his veto, but lacked the neces-
sary number of votes.
This ordinance has been before the
council since last May and has been
the subject of heated controversy. The
ordinance now stands as heretofore,
the license remaining at $1,000.
An ordinance was passed granting
the Valley Railways Company tho
right to come in on Filbert street and
to remove the tracks in Arch street
An ordinance was also passed fixing
the mill rate for the year 1917 the
same as last year, ten mills.

ICE HALTS WORK
IN LOCAL PLANT
Intake Pipe Which Affords
Power in Steel Shops
Stopped Up

About 5000 employees of the bridge
and forge shops of the local steel plant
were thrown out of work to-day when
the intake pipe which affords power
for this division of the works was
stopped up by slush ice that fills the
river.
Work was suspended for the day
only and the machinery will be put
INTO operation tomorrow morning.
the slush ice gathering in the pipe
prevented the pump from taking water
to run the machinery.
A large force of workmen was put
on the job early this morning and late
to-day had the trouble cleared up.

tie to say since he was brought to the
hospital. Thaw asked for his doctor
during the night, but did not ask for
any member of his famj:v, nor did he
make any reference to the charges
| lodged against him by the New York
authorities who accuse him of kidnap-
| ing and beating Frederick Gump, Jr.,
of Kansas City.
Mind Still Hazy
DIR. Kirby said he found Thaw's
mind still somewhat hazy this morn
ing as though he were suffering from
the after effects of a drug or liquor.
Captain of Detectives Tate express
ed the opinion that Thaw does not re-
alize that he is under arrest. Later in
the day he said he will question Thaw
If his condition permits, and try to
draw out of him a statement regarding
the Gump charges Captain Tate will
probably be accompanied by Assist
ant District Attorney Black, of New
York.
When Thaw is able to leave the hos
pital, Captain Tate said, he will be ar
raigned before a police magistrate on
a charge of attempting suicide.
Whether the family will contest the
efforts of the New York authorities to
have Thaw surrendered to them is not
definitely known here. 1t is said a
conference of members of the Thaw
family and close friends will be held
later in the day to determine what
steps to ta,-e to combat the New York
charges. According to private detec-
tives in the employ of the Thaw fam
lily, the Comp charges are looked upon
as an attempt at blackmail.
May Investigate Maloney
The Philadelphia detectives are not
satisfied with the story told by Samuel
Maloney, the Philadelphia representa-
tive of a New York detective agency.
that he had mado arrangements to
have Thaw turned over to District At
torney Swami in New York. MaIoney
said he took Thaw to the quiet resi-
