REPORT MADE ON .
REPRODUCTIONS OF
u. S. RAILROADS

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Prelimi-
nary reports of the Interstate COM
merce commission on the cost of re-
producing the country's railroads
were introduced before the commits
sion today by the carriers as sus-
tanning their property investment &C
count figures on which they base
their request for freight advances ag-
gregating SLOT, 100000, so as to
yield the per cent return allowed
under the transportation act.
Thomas w. Hume, of Philadelphia,
vice chairman of the carriers valua-
ton committee, told the commission
that government engineering reports
for fifty systems with a mileage OF
51,S53, showed the cost Of reproduce
ton 1914, prices, including the value
of land, to be S3,203, 782,543, as COM
pared with property investment &C
count of $3,158,275, 1856, and carried
on the books of the companies.
When inventories are completed
for all the roads of the country, Mr.
Hume declared, they would SHOW
a reproduction cost on the 1914 prices
in excess of the carriers own. in
vestment statement, and that on the
would be far in excess of this. Costs
now, he said, are more than 100 per
cent above those prevailing in 1914.
After Thomas w. Hume, vice
chairman of the presidents confer
ence committee on valuation. con-
cludes testimony for the eastern
group today, accounting and traffic
experts for the southern territory
will be heard.
With proper equipment the rail-
roads of the country can be oper-
ated as successfully in the future
under private management as they
were before federal control, Charles
H. Markham, president of the Hi
nois Central railroad, declared Wed
nesday in opening the case of the
Expenditures of at least $600,000,-
900 for new equipment for the ma
TONS transportation system was
advocated by Mr.. Markham. who as
serted that nothing was Of greater greater
placing of orders for cars and en-
gines.: Railroad history, he said,
shows continued progress in eft
ticiency, and, accordingly. the roads
s ould operate as successfully IN
the tools in the shape of equipment
to work with.
For the southern railroads Mr..
Markham asked an increase in
freight rates to enable the carriers
to earn $134, 049.091 annually, which,
he claimed, would represent a re-
turn of per cent on the aggregate
Value of those carriers. which he
estimated at $2,267, 4S4,S47.
The hearing on the demands of
the railroads of the country for in
creased rates to give an added in

be suspended for a week at the con-

Schroeder Awarded
Altitude Record for
33,OOO-Foot Climb

The worlds altitude record has
been officially awarded to Major r.
W. Schroeder by the bureau of stand
ards at washington. The true alti-
tude reached by Major Schroeder at
Dayton, O., on February 81 last, is
given as $4,000 feet, after all his
instruments were carefully verified
and corrected.
The announcement clears up def
initely the controversy that has rent
aeronautical circles ever since the
United States army air service an
nounced that Major Schroeder had
reached an altitude of 36,020 feet in
the flight that ended in a five-mile
fall out of the skies before Isle avia-
tor recovered control of his air
plane.
The announcement of the bureau
of standards shows that three i'm
portant world altitude records are
held by American aviators and Amer
lean airplanes. The other two were
made by Roland Rohlofs in a Cur
tiss Wasp triplane, first for reaching
true altitude of 32,450 feet without
the aid of engine attachments, and
second for climbing to an altitude
OIL lJ,GUU l6GL Ill Iell luuISS
An interesting feature of the bu-
reau of standards announcement is
that by applying the rules governing
altitude flying laid down by the Fed
Grafton Aeronautique Internationale
in 1919, Major Schroeder. actually
reached an altitude of $3.50 feet
Major Schroeder used superchareer
to assist his 400-horse power Lib
erty engine to maintain its full EFF
ficiency at extreme altitude.
Owing to some discrepancies found
in the instruments carried by Major
Schroeder, the Aero Club of Amer
lea, as representative of the Fedora
ton Aeronautique Internationale, de-
clined to accept the figures until the
bureau of standards had passed upon
them.
The Curtis Wasp triplane added
another worlds record to its list OF
achievements recently in a test by
the United States navy at RockaWay
naval air station. The triplane was
equipped with pontoons in place OF
landing carriage and was flown
over a measured water course by
Mr.. Rohlfs.
The Wasp made an average speed
of 1873 miles an hour, breaking all
former records for seaplanes. The
flight was under official observation
by the United States navy. The
Wasp's best official record for speed
as a landing machine is 1872 miles an

Washington has few sweat glands
