RAILROAD MEN ON TRIAL
 FOR BREAKING AND THEFT

Andrew P. Monahan, Ernest Hummer and George E. Church, all Inpioyes of the New Haven road in the freight yard at New London, were put on trial in the superior court here Tuesday morning on the charge of breaking into freight car in the New London yard on June 23 and stealing from it barrel of potatoes val ued at $2O. The case is heard before Judge George E. Hinman and a jury.
 The chief discriminating evidence against the men was given by Caleb T. Green, a railroad policeman, who testi- fled to lying on the ground between the tracks in the yard. seeing the three men break into the car and take out the bar rel of potatoes and arresting them on tn spot.
 Hummer, who went on the stand late in the afternoon as the second witness put on by G. Curtis Morgan attorney for the accused men, fatly contradicted the testimony of Green in numerous points. He claimed that they were talk ing the barrel out of the car on the or ders of Monahan, because it was pro- truding through the doorway and was dangerous. He denied that, Church ran as Green said he did and he denied that Green could have seen the men as he said he did if he had been in the posi- tion between the tracks where he said he was.
 Samuel Adams, owner of the New Lon don Globe and clerk of the police court, was the first witness called by defense He produced the records of the New London court when the case was heard l there.
 When State Attorney Hull opened the | prosecution Tuesday morning in the su perior court the first witness was otto | H. Schroeter, civil engineer for the road who explained plans of the location oi the yard where the car stood when i was supposed to have been broken int by the accused.

The big task which confronts the
commission is to decide whether the
book value of the railroads, as pre-
sentel by the carriers themselves, is
a fair value. During the hearings the
commission has carefully noted the
figures cited by the railroads and put
their own valuation experts to work
checking them up.
The shippers have aligned them
selves solidly against tho book value
of the roads as given by the carriers.
While they do not oppose q fair In
crease in freight rates, they declare
any such Increase Rs asked by the
carriers for the different divisions, Is
exorbitant and based upon q book
value beyond the actual valuation of
the carriers property.
Clifford Thorne of Chicago, repre-.
leentinE the shippers. has led the fight
against the rates asked for. He de-
ciared that if NIL the securities issued
by the railroads were raised to their
par value, theg total would be ss .oo0,-

that the roads are entitled to an ad-
vance of only 1885 per cent. or II
the entire increase is to be confined
to freight traffic. to IS per cent.
Mr. Thorne states that the railroads
will receive increased revenue from the
larger mail pay and for enlargement OF
business transacted, after making allow
ances for the increased cost OF material
and operation.
While the public knows that the cost
of living has doubled within the last
few years, and that the railroads Will
soon have to grant increased pay to
their employees. which, 1t is estimated.
will total 81, 900, 0oo, 900, there are many
other expenses which the layman does
not realize.
For Instance, locomotives, which cost
s27.sTe in 1914, now cost $75. 5.750. An
average box car in 1914 cost about u, 600
and "a. 600 now. The interest on the In
vestmept In, the car in 1914 would have
been $50 a year, while It now would be
s225 a year.
While the railroads are unable to meet
the Transportation demands because OF
o. shortage of equipment. the above Is
interesting In that the railroads face q
serious problem In obtaining this new
equipment. The s25.ooo,ooo loaned for
this purpose out of the governments re-
yolying fund. viii go small way. the
carriers assert. toward accomplishing
the desired end.
