MUST
HAVE INCOME To
INSURE SUCCESS
Samuel Rea, President of the
Pennsylvania, Says There
Must be Higher Freight
Rates and a WORKING Fund.

Philadelphia, Dec. 26. - Samuel
Rea, president of the Pennsylvania
rollroad, in statement tonight on
the return of the railroads to private
ownership, said II is essential that
higher rates be approved by the In
terstate, Commerce commission to
save the country from broken down
railroads and Insufficient facilities
and service. Mr.. Rea said the railroad
bill pending in congress should de-
finitely provide the following essen
tial features:
"1-That adequate rates be at all
times maintained to prevent the rail-
roads from getting into the position
Ii en- whicn they arr now trying TO
emerge. For this purpose the adop
ton of rate making rule, or, If that
is not acceptable, the fixing of some
minimum Te-usn, is essential for the
positive guidance of The commissions
which regulate rates.
Fund the indebtedness to the
government which chiefly consists of
expenditures made by the governmenk
for additions and betterments essen
tial to carry the traffic of the war
period and protect the life of the ma
tions and also return the roads with
sufficient working capital to resume
operations. The government found IL
essential to have working capital and
the railroads were called upon TO pro-
vide large part of that working can
ital at the beginning of federal con
trol, both in money and materials
and supplies.
'3-Continue the standard compen-
sa ton as prescribed by the federal
control act and contract until the
railroad situation has been steadied
by adequate rates and stronger
credits.
"4--Provide sufficient capital to
finish additions, hetterments and
equipment already authorized by the
United States railroad administration
to finance additional new work and
equipment that should be authorized
IN 1890, and also 10 enable the rail-
l9ads fn prFvtA@ f9r secHriies MA

MEXICAN WOMAN HAS
SLEPT % DAYS; NO
WAY TO BREAK SLUMBER
!sr nosmne louanAL srsel.l LtAssp mlns

Douglas. Ariz.. Dec. 26.--All Mexico
is marteling at the prolonged slumber
of Mrs. Innocencia Gobarruvia aged
4S, a resident of the city of Vera Cruz
who for twenty-five days lay in a
trance. Efforts of numerous physi-
clans to arouse her have been found
unavailing. AS far as known she has
taken no sustenanee during the attack.
On the twenty-second day, while u
consultation of physicians from vari-
Gus parts of Mexico, who had gathered
to discuss her case was in progress
the woman opened her eyes and moved
her lips, but again lapsed into a cata-
leptic state. Mrs. Gobarruvia Is said
by Mexico City Newspapers never be-
fore to have suffered similar attack.
Her present condition followed a vio
lent quarrel with her son. She lay
down to sleep and has not since been
reused to consciousness. Some physi-
clans diagnose the case as being a
form of hysteria. while others are in
cined to believe that the woman is
suffering from sleeping sickness.
Great crowds gather outside her
home each dav and discuss the bull
letins given out by the physicians.

A VERY SAD ACCIDENT

Last Friday about two o'clock at
Charleston Mine one of the engines
with a few small cars attached
started from near the commissary to-
ward the dry bin. Bernard Meek got
on and sat down on a board between
the engine and the first small car.
About half way to the dry bin it
seems that one end of the board
slipped from its foundation and threw
him between the cars. One or two
Of the small cars ran over his right
leg, cut it almost off below the knee
and mangled 1t badly. w. P. Hender,
son and Calvin Durrance, engineer
and fireman, felt the JAR stopped and
were soon rendering first aid to the
badly hurt boy. Kind friends took
him quickly to his home and four ply
sicians quickly amputated the leg
just above the knee. But the SHOCK
was too great for him and he died 6
short while after the operation was
completed.-Ft. Meade Leader.

FREIGHT SERVICE TO
MINES STOPPED TODAY
ACCOUNT OF THREATS

Freight trains scheduled for the
phosphate district today failed to
make the trip to that region, accord
ing to information received from rail-
road officials.
Failure of the trains to run is due
according to reliable information to
the fact that a prominent engineer
of Lakeland who has been running a
train to the phosphate fields, was
called up day or so ago, by an un-
known party and warned that any
engineer bringing trains to haul freight
in that section would do so at his
peril. 1t is presumed that the OBJ
lection is to the hauling of phosphate
rock, due to the strike of the miners
The engineer states that he tried
to get the name of the party who
called, but was simply told that it was
"a friend He was told, also, to
pass the word along to his brother
engineers. adding that no freight
train would be allowed in that section
after Thursday.
Engineers declined today to take
any train into the forbidden zone, and
traffic is tied up to that extent. Pas
senger trains, however, are still run
ming through the phosphate district.

consideration that it will be a profit
able business. The young men who
will have the practical operation have
made a careful study, during two
years experience as expert flyers, Of
aviation and its commercial values.
They have figured to the fraction Of a
cent just how much 1t costs to operate
a plane-the gas and oil consumed
per hour, and every expense connect
ed with the business. Their charges
based on the uniform charges made
by other similar concerns in the
North, will allow an attractive profit
for the stakeholder, without making
the rates prohibitive to the patron.
We consider this enterprise one Of
the biggest advertisements Lakeland
has ever had, and that it will be Of
great benefit and value to the city
in innumerable ways.
The promoters of the concern ex
pect to have their planes in operation
at an early date-possibly within the
next thirty days.
