GREENVILLE, S. c., Jan. 25.--when
Rear Admiral Newton McCully and
his Russian wards, who are soon to
become Americans, left Anderson yes
terday for their Washington home
they had more accompaniments in the
way of luggage than when they
came.
Each Of the sevenf fchildren had a
suitcase packed with individual toilet
articles, the quaint little governess
had a large suitcase, and the admiral
had three suitcases, besides two
trunks. A mail bag half filled with
letters, which he had hoped to get
to" while here, was not opened.
In the other half of that bag there
was bushel OF black walnuts and
Anderson county grown pecan nuts.
Two baskets f1lled with whole cakes
had been sent in by friends and
neighbors, another basket with coun-
try sausage, country butter, pickles,
preserves and jellies, and then an
other box OF fried chicken, biscuits
and cookies that were prepared by the
neighbors for the lunch of the chill
dren on the train. Besides that each
child had box of homemade candy.
The people Of Anderson seemed
unable TO express their appreciation
Of the admiral and the children and
took every means possible to show
them honor. The admiral said he
was afraid they would do too much,
as the children are still TO an extent
on diet.

BY w. II. ATKINS.
International News Service.

The railroads, short of cash, con-
front credit situation so serious
that heavier cuts in working per-
soRnel than those already ordered
will be put into effect and other
means of .retrenchment enforced,
leading rail managers today in
formed members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
HAVE ENORMOUS DEBTS.
Rail executives declared the roads
are running up enormous debts, and
are unable to meet many of the
more urgent current bills. A severe
economy program, meaning reduced
working forces on practically all
lines, and an indefinite postponement
of some of the more pretentious
plans for betterments, was forecast
today as certainty, following con-
ferences Of many Of the rail leaders
here.
Even in the face Of the higher
rate increases allowed the carriers,
big slumps in net earnings over
practically all roads, affecting alike
the large and small lines, were
shown by the Interstate Commerce
Commissions figures today. A drop
in the railroads net revenue from
operations amounting to $s70.0oo, 900
was shown for the eleven months
up to December I. as compared with
the same period the preceding year.
FACING CREDIT CRISIS.

The larger systems. 1t Is said, are
flnding means to have their banking
connections carry them over the
rough spots The small line railroads
IL was said, have practically exhaust
ed their borrowing powers, and are
looking for some relief that will save
them from bankruptcy.
Rail executives in talks with mem
bers OF the commission have been told
that this body Is eager to certify
their claims under the Government
guaranty as soon as legislation by
Congress gives the commission au-
thority. At the present time about

Two despondent men, both of mid

turned from a trip to a nearby gro
Gerry and found the body of her hus-
! band, a Frenchman, forty-six years
old, dangling by trunk strap from
the transom of his bed room. He had
been respondent because of i'll health.
Before retiring last night, Grantley
kissed his daughter Ruth, aged
twenty. She recalled this morning
that he had said 'good-by," instead
OF. good Knight" The import OF his
words did not strike her, however,
until she went to his room to arouse
him this morning and found his body.
Grantley had rigged scaffold in
his room to reach the transom by lay
ing a plank from IL to a bed post. He
used section of clothes-line for q
moose.

daughter, and he had become de-
spondeut. Ruth had tried vainly to
cheer him.

work. what chance has an old man
like me?' he asked.
According to his wife, Faillin Lad

not improve he would commit suicide.
but had made no attempt to do so be-
fore this morning.
Mrs Faillie had been absent from
her home only about fifteen minutes
when she returned She found tho
door of her husbands bedroom closed.

strangle himself. When an ambu-
lance arrived the accompanying sur
geon pronounced him dead. Coroner
Nevitt issued a certificate of sniciJe.
Faillie had no realtives here except
his wife.

Another Race Added to
Speed Boat Programme

DETROIT, July 30.-An express cruiser
race for boats with a speed OF from
seventeen to thirty miles an hour will be
added to the Gold -Harmsworth
trophy regatta here August 27 to Sep
tember 5. This was decided by the
Detroit Gold cup-Harmsworth commit
tee here to-day. The race will be held
August 2S.
The committee voted to accept an Of
fer of II. C. Stutz of indianapolis of a
trophy for the fastest five mile lap OF
the Harmsworth event. A proposal that
a gasoleno substitute be used in the
Wood Fisher cruiser race was voted
down.
To make the identity of the contend

spectators it was decided that each
should carry a distinguishing number.
Numbers were assigned to seven en-
tries as follows:

Columbia May Play Football
Game in the Morning
Novel Change Considered for
Thanksgiving Day Contest.

Columbia may attempt an innovation
in its football methods next fall Bob
Watt. graduate manager at the insti-
tuition. has about decided to stage his
Thanksgiving Day tussle with Colgate
early In the morning instead of in the
afternoon. He believes that many OF
the fans who are unwilling to absent
themselves from the attractions OF a
turkey laden table late in the day to
see twenty-five hungry undergraduates
working UP an appetite will attend the
game IL It takes place before the usual
lunch hour
Although Watts idea Is a strange
one TO local football followers. II seems
mighty attractive. All of the Gotham
colleges have played baseball games in
the forenoon on various occasions and
mono of them has had any complaint
about the attendance. The fact that
the student body and alumni usually
furnish the greater part OF Columbia's
football crowds Is another point In
favor OF Watts suggestion. 1t Is very
likely that those who frown upon the
prospect OF arising early on holiday
mornings will be led around 70 the
Harlem managers way OF thinking
when they consider the joys of an un-
disturbed turkey feast in the after
noon.
The big problem facing the Blue and
White gridlron authorities at the present
moment is the shortage OF good back
field men at South Field. All tho best
men who saw service behind the Column
bia line last year have been lost by
