LARGEST GROSS TONNAGE AND
GREATEST HAULAGE PER CAR
IN HISTORY is ATTAINED.
Chairman Of Executive Association
Makes Report Of Achievements Of
Railroad Of the Nation for Year
Which Is Most Satisfactory.

New York.-Thomas Dewitt Cuyler.
chairman of the AssOciati ton of Rail-
way Executives, authorizes the follow
ing statement reviewing the railroad
situation for the current year.
This is the record year Of American
railroad operation. Not only has a
larger gross tonnage been moved than
ever before, but new records have been
established in the amount of Transport
tation gotten out of each car. Even
during the war year Of 1918 the high
est performance was 494 ton miles
per car per day, while for August, 1920,
the average was 557, and for Septem-
Der and, October, 565.
In the nine full months since the
government turned back the railroads
to their owners on March 4, the rail-
road companies under private opera
ton have:
Increased the average movement per
freight car per day SO miles-from
223 to 2S.6 miles.
Increased the average load per car
III tons-from 2S.3 to 30 tons.
Made substantial reduction in the
number Of unserviceable locomotives.
Reduced the accumulation of loaded
but unmoved freight cars from 1O3,237
on March / TO 81 ,991 on December 3,
of which only 1886 were detained be-
cause Of the inability Of the railroads
to move them.
Relocated approximately 10000 box
/ khn o. tn 20 for the
movement of farm products.
Relocated approximately 10000
| open-top cars from the west to the east
to keep up the production Of coal.
Moved the third highest coal pro
duction in the history of the country.
Spent over $500, 100000 extra on inn
proving the maintenance of tracks
bridges, cars and locomotives.
Contracted to spend about $250,000,
600, largely out Of earnings, for add
lions and betterments to promote thu
movement Of cars.
Made arrangements to purchase ap
proximately $4,000 new freight cars
1900 new locomotives and 1000 new
passenger cars.
Begun the reconstruction OF tnou
sands of old cars.
Moved-with deteriorated plant
under disturbed labor and bushes
conditlons-the largest volume of traf
fic ever known in single year, witt
the highest efficiency yet achieved
and with a minimum addition to tn
value of the property on which tn
| public has to pay a return through
rates.

THE GERMAN CREDIT
PLAN TO Be REVISED
NEW BILL TO 81 INTRODUCES
If WAR CORPORATION RE-
VIvAL Is VETOED
Commission Would Have Authority to-
Accept Bonds Of the German
Government as Security
for the Credit

on.-Introduction in con-
gress of a revised bill authorizing "a
credit to the German government Tor
the purchase of American products IS
awaiting action by President Wilson
upon the resolution for the revival OF
the war finance corporation
william Wallace Brauer, New York
exporter, agent of the German govern
ment in negotiating a loan from the
United States and in making pur-
chases if it is granted, said that IN
case of the veto of the war finance
corporation resolution, the new Dill
will provide for the appointment of a
commission by the president. rms
commission would have authority to
accept bonds of the German govern
ment as security for the credit ana
10 sell debentures as a means Of OBJ
tanning the money needed.
In case of veto of the war finance
corporation resolution, it is presumed
that President Wilson also would veto
any German credit measure, inasmuch
as Secretary of the Treasury Houston
Is against both propositions, In that
case the bin probably will not be
passed until the new administration
comes in.
If President Wilson signs the war
finance corporation resolution the
German credit bill will provide that
the matter be handled by that body.

Before Natives Take Charge.

Washington.-By direction of the
president, initial steps were taken on
December "a for withdrawal of Amer
lean control over affairs of the Domin-
lean republic.
A proclamation announcing this
purpose was issued at San Domingo
by Rear Admiral Thomas Snowden,
military governor. Its text was made
public here. BY its terms the friendly
purposes of American military inter
vention In the island in 1918 are de-
cIared 10 be substantially achieved"
and simple processes" inaugurated for
"rapid withdrawal from the RESPONSE
billties assumed in connection with

A Dominican commission. aided by
an American adviser, will be named by
Admiral SnOwden to formulate amend
ments to the Dominican constitution
and draft new election laws. When
approved by the military governor
these will be submitted to constitu-
tional convention and the Dominican
national congress, as preliminary to
the erection of a Dominican govern
ment to which the affairs Of the re.
public will be turned over.
An accompanying announcement by
the state department said tranquility
prevailed in the republic; that Do

HOUSTON ATTACKS
BONUS PROPOSALS
AssAILS DIFFERENT PLANS IN
STATEMENT BEFORE THE
SENATE COMMITTEES.
Secretary Of Treasury Says II Would
Cost the Government $4,000, 100000
Provided All Former Service
Men Chose Single Plan.

Washington. Approximately ST.
3OO,O0000O was the estimate submit
ted December % by Secretary Hous-
ton Of the treasury department as the
cost Of carrying out provisions Of the
soldiers bonus bill.
The treasury secretary presented his
estimate to the senate finance commit
tee without comment other than to
urge that no legislation be enacted
which would lay an additional burden
on the nations finances. The estimate
was accompanied by figures showing
the cost of carrying out any one Of
the five optional provisions of the
bonus bill provided all former service
men chose a single plan. The figures
for the various plans ranged from
$1,342, 100000 for the adjusted pay
provisions, to So, 1874, 100000 for the in
surance provision. The maximum
possible cost of the vocational training
aid and the farm and home develop
ment plans was placed at $3.50 co.,
900 each, while the secretary said the
fifth provision, a plan for land settle
ment, held so many uncertainties that
1t was impossible to estimate the pos
sible expenditure.
Submission of the estimated total
cost made an apparent impression
upon members of the committee which
is considering the bonus bill as passed
by the house at the last session. Mem
bers declined to forecast the decision
of the committee on the question of
reporting out the measure, but it was
recalled That Senator McCumber, Re.
publican Of North Dakota, stated at
the opening of hearings on the bill
that its passage would depend largely
on the state Of government finances
and that Mr.. Houston had testified the
treasury, with normal expenditures
would have deficit Of $2100,O00, O0C
for the year ending next June 30, and
deficit Of $780, OO,O 600 for the fol.
lowing twelve months.

PELHAM CLUB SIGNS
jim BARNES AS PRO
Famous Player Identified With
Gotham Organization.
Golfer Who Has Participated in Many
Tournaments and Acted az In
structor for Many Clubs
Lands In New York.

In the is years or more that he has
been in the United States Jim Barnes
has entered the golf tournaments and
championships from clubs all the way
from Philadelphia to the Pacific coast.
He has been a Tacoma pro, Phila-
delphia pro. and has played from Colo
RADIO Springs and st. Louis In turn,
but up to date he has not given the
metropolis the honor of including him
among it's stalwarts Of the links.
However, during the last summer
Barnes thought and thought hard,
thinking at times out loud. 1t is all
very well to be here or there upon the
golfing map, but after all there is no
place for man who wants to be up
and doing like little old New York.
That was the decision at which Jim
arrived this year. He felt that, after
all, the metropolitan district Is the
center or all golfing activity. Jim just
came to the conclusion that after all
his place was in New York. or some
where close by, and now he is to have
his wish, for he has been signed to a
three-year contract by the Pelham
Country club, whichsis building a fine
course under the direction Of Devereux

Establishment OF Central Markets for

Washington.-Est of cen
trail markets for perishable food prod
ucts in all large cities and the setting
up of a federal licensing system APP
plicable to all dealers in such foods
at those markets is proposed by the
federal trade commission in its annual
report to congress.
The commissions conclusions are
based ON an investigation covering
many months and it declares that fed
eral action Is necessary to obtain eff
fective regulation and to avoid unfair
and wasteful practices with the conse-
quent effect on prices. In the present
system the commission sees as a hind
rance to the proper passage of perish
ables from the producer to the con
sumer certain intertrade dealings
which it believes should be eliminated,
ana suggests that the handling of these
products be surrounded by numerous
regulations and restrictions such as
the recording of available supplies,
the dating of cold storage periods and
provisions for auction marketing.
