RAIL EARNINGS
STILLFALL SHORT
No Hope For Government To
Reduce Deficit-Need
Protection

Reports of railroads under Fed
merce Commission for September
and the first three quarters of the
current year show that the improve
ment in last months earnings, while
the Railroad Administration view
point. will not serve materially TO
offset the operating deficit which
has accumulated.
For September the Pennsylvania
Company reported n gross revenue
of $10.401.55e, an increase of ST.
065.292; net revenues, S1,SSS,761,

Total Revenues
Total operating revenue of Class
l roads, as reported TO the commls-
sion, were $49S,762,5SS in Septem-
Der. as compared with S4Ss, 6sl 44s'
in the corresponding month in 1918.
Total operating expenses increased
from SS71.T12,O95 TO S4OO,1 IL ,6sZ.
Net operating income OF the roaoS
for the nine months ended with
September was approximately S+uu'-
OOO. 900. as compared with about
$520,000,O00 in the preceding year,
about s3TS, 100000 in 1917. the last
years of private operation, ana
roughly S650.O00,00O standard re-
turn guaranteed by the government
Since the end of last June the
line has been running below last
years record, and estimates lndicate
that its relative position VIII De
maintained until January i, with
the final operating deficit between
$l0O.OO0,0OO and Si50,00o,oOO more
than in 1918.
This plainly shows that the rela-
ton between railway income and eX-
penditure during Federal control
was and is abnormal, and recent re-
ports from Washington indicate that
Congress, which finally will enact
remedial railroad legislation. is not
overlooking that some step must
be taken to return that relationship
to a healthy condition.
One reason for the growth OF
American prosperity has been the
comparatively cheap transportation
charges. With the war resulting in
a revision upward of all prices and
expenses railroad men and bankers
say service such as has been given
by the carriers in the past cannot
be continued when it costs more
than it earns. The roads will ask
increased rates, and q belief is
growing that increases will be
granted before n deterioration in
service will be permitted.
Railroad men do not believe that
final transportation legislation will
be passed next month. They be-
lieve temporary legislation will be
enacted providing for a return of the
properties to their owners on JanU-
airy l and an extension of the pres
ent guarantee by the government.
Final legislation, they say, probably
will go over until next year.

Anthracite Shipments Are

Shipments of anthracite coal during
the month OF October amounted to G..

SEARCHING FOR
BODY OF HANEY.
KILLED BY I.W.W.
Posse of Forty Expected to

ports are expected to-day from the
posse of forty men. which yesterday
began to scour the country in search
of the body of John Haney. AZ. q
B. rancher of Terino, who is believed
to have fallen in a fight with alleged
Industrial Workers of the World
Saturday.
Captain Lloyd Dysart, local COM
mander of the posse in the district.
said it would require of all yester-
day to reach the scene of Saturdays
battle.
Members of the first posse said it
was probable the recovery of Ha-
ney's body would be attended by
further bloodshed, because of the
fact that he fell within 100 yards of
hunters Cabin, wherein the l. w.
W. we're believed to be still lurk-
ing. The place is surrounded by
dense woods. Every outlet is being
guarded. Captain p.ysart was direct
ing to-day's operations.
We have verified the fact that
Haney fell when fired upon from
AMBUSH said DySart. "A COM
rade saw him drop at the first vol
ley.
Haney, with three other men, had
become separated from the main
party and We're working their way
toward Hunters Cabin, where, ac-
cording to information which he had
obtained, Bert Bland. Hansen and
one other radical were hiding. 4
Nolley rang out and Hauey, who was
ahead, was seen to fall. The firing
became general and bullets whistled
all around our possemen one of
whom sprained his ankle and was
forced to drag himself away. The
other two were unable to continue
the night unaided and withdrew,
as they could not locate the source
OF the firing accurately in the semi
darkness of the woods"

of the first bull fight since the sport
was placed under the ban in the

Permission was not given to-day
for the bulls to be killed by the

sport was the same as in former
years. The diplomatic representa-

Otherwise Privates Might Have Found

GUS Matter.

While serving at Fort Sill, Okla,
was Quartered with a Texas cowboy
and he would often amuse himself
hours at time with his lasso. One
favOrite stunt was to stand in the door
Of his tent after taps, when all was
dark and quiet. and throw his rope
around the foot Of some unsuspecting
comrade returning from town, drawing
him into the tent. where he would fash
a light into his face, frightening the
poor fellow numerically.
One night at his game an unusually
large fellow was caught and he whis-
pered to me to help drag him In, which
I eheerfully did. The big fellow came
into the tent on his back, swearing
with all his might. We threw the light
into his face with a laugh and were
greeted with the two shining bars Of our
captainl I lost no time In getting out
side Of the tent. and suppose my brave
cow-puncher disappeared In some
such way. For days we could picture
ourselves behind bars at Fort Leaven-
worth. and upon being called to the

faded. Right here I wish to declare
our captain good fellow, as we were
dismissed with reprimand and q re-
quest that the performance never be

Found Platinum Beds

DIR. HerSchel G. Parker OF Columbia
university, while on an exploring ex.
pedition to Alaska last summer, dis
covered extensive platinum beds in
the Susitana and Yentna valleys in
the Cook inlet country. He brought
out q large number Of ore samples on
his return to the States, and Is now
engaged in exhaustive tests Of the
metal. He expects to establish q plant
for handling the ore when he goes
back to Alaska next spring.
"The Alaska platinum ore is low
grade" said Doctor Parker, "but 1t is
there in abundance. 1t will have to be
handled in large quantities and under
scientific methods of economy to make
1t pay. The question Of its commercial
value is simply one Of engineering.
