Pennsy Restoring Freight
Service TO High Standard

Persistent efforts are being made by
the Pennsylvania railroad 10 restore
freight service to normal standards OF
regularity and delivery. In this direc-
ton announcement Is made that the
Pennsylvania has recognized its west
bound through freight service and in
tcr-cIty freight service both east and
west bound. 1t is expected that the
new schedules will enable this freight
TO move with regularity and promptness
approaching pre-war performance. The
through west bound schedule mas been
operated long enough to demonstrate
that this can be done and the inter-city
arrangements, more recently inaugu-
rated, is already moving satisfactorily.
The new schedules include preference
and arranged freight movements be-
tween New York. Philadelphia, Balti-
more. Washington. Harrisburg. Pitts
burgh and Chicago. with over night de-
livery between New York. Philadel-
phia, Washington and Baltimore. Oil
and petroleum products are being moved
in solid trains, on regular daily oil
schedules. from st. Louis and Chicago
to eastern points.

That Frank y Yanderlip is TO be

successful diplomat in such period As
the present Not only is he one OF half
"a dozen OF the leading figures IN the
world Of finance. but has made spe-

The story OF his life is typlcally
American. Starting as = newspaper TO-
porter he developed q special aptitude
for financial news. and became financial
editor Of tho Chicago Tribune. His
marked ability was recognized by his
appointment as private secretary to
Secretary Uf the Treasury Lyman ].
Gage Later he became assistant secre-
tary of the treasury. Following his
splendid record in that capacity, he was
selected as vice president and later as
president OF the Nationa. City Bank OF

recently resigned. He is actively associ-
ated in the MANAGEMENT or more than

TOO MUCH MONEY

Although the report that the Dcmp'
Carpenter fight had been called off
is denied, il would not be surprising to
hear OF cancellation Of the event. II
has been apparent from the first that
the amount involved is too great for
any such contest. Some large purses
have been given to pugiliSts in the last
few years. but the sum OF 100000,
which is TO be divided between Demp-
sey and Carpenter. Is beyond the
bounds OF reason.
Purely from the viewpoint OF tho
promoters, a purse OF such size is not
advisable. as It IS decidedly doubtful
whether a Dempsey Carpenter match
would draw a 100000 crowd. Dempsey
is none too popular and Carpenter is
not regarded as q coming champion. 4
return match between Dempsey and
Willard would probably draw better
Frenchman. But aside from this, pub
lie sentiment in general would not APP
prove the payment OF such n great sum
Of money for a prize night The imaG
nation Immediately pictures many
things Of value TO humanity that could
be done with 100000. At time when
both public and private Money is
necessary. any proposal TO pay such =
sum for any pugIlistic event must be
condemned.
