CASE TOPS IREAL
TRIAL IN INTEREST

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. S0.-The
sldeshow that developed in the
Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle trial here
today almost eclipsed the "big top"
performance.
Mrs. Minnie Neighbours, the de-
fense witness, charged by District
Attorney Brady with perjury as the
result of her testimony on behalf OF
the jovial comedian, being tried for
manslaughter resultant from the
death of Miss Virginia Rape, came
before Police Judge Jacks for
hearing this morning. Brady won
his fight for a two days contlnu-
ance of the case, although the de-
fense made plea for an immedi-
ate hearing of the perjury case.
The state announced, after calling
several rebuttal witnesses, that it
would rest its case as soon as the
three doctors engaged in the micro
scopic examination of the bladder of
Miss Rappe reported to the court.
The states witnesses testified that
Virginia had always appeared in
normal health.

necessary steps to prevent this des-
ecration of our state road. The way
that public sentiment, expressed
through the press, had forced the
disarmament conference to curtail
the building of battleships, was
pointed out by Mr. Barnhill as an
example of the great power for
good which this agency could be
made to exert. This suggestion was
heartily approved Of by Senator
Thomas and other members of the
society.
F. H. Walker, city engineer of
Ashland, stated that the first step
In building the highway was to cut
down all trees along the right of
way; also that years ago he had
been asked by the highway COM
mission to make list OF the spots
along the road over the Siskiyous
which Il was especially important
to preserve, for beauty and camp
ing purposes. This list was made,
but no further action taken.
Prof F, C. Reimer, director of
the Southern Oregon Experiment
station, near Talent, urged the
planting of trees along the highway
between Talent and Tolo and the
boycotting of merchants who de-
laced the highway with advertising
signs. An effort was made a few

ON the basis of a detailed statis-
teal presentation OF the financial
position OF the railroads, presented
today in the hearing before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
George NJ. Shriver, vice-president
OF the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Co. summarized his conclusions as
follows
1t Is shown that the net railway
operating income OF the Glass 1 Rail
roads of the United States for the II
months to September 80, 1921, was
S542,409,5S2. or 2.75 per cent. on the
property investment; that because
OF decreased operating income and
increased charges and taxes, the net
corporate income has been so dimi-
nished that some carriers have been
compelled to suspend, and others to
reduce. the customary dividends,
while some have maintained custom
airy dividends only by drawing upon
surplus earned in previous years;
consequently. OF course, the surplus
and margin TO sustain credit has been
reduced.--
Roads Earned only Half OF Antici-
pated Return.
That because OF lowered rates, and
falling off in traffic, the railroads
have failed to earn more than one
half the anticipated 5iz per cont,
and nothing towards the one-half OF
one per cent. contemplated as con-
tribution towards additions and bet
terments and TO sustain credit.
That the railroads have large ac-
counts pending settlement with the

government, and the manner in
which these are disposed Of win have
a material bearing upon their cash
position.
The Eastern carriers have shown
that their operating income for the
twelve months to October 81, 1921,
was s234,594.277, or 2.67 per cent.
on the property investment. and fell
short OF meeting the fixed charges
OF these carriers by $4,000. 900.
That when the operating results
OF this year are restated to reflect
the effect of lowered rates and low
cred costs to do over again the busi-
ness OF 1921, the estimated net
operating income OF the Glass I
Railroads would be, say, s473.9s4.-
331, affording a return OF about
$40 per cent, but without having
made any provision for many i'm
portant items OF maintenance which
we're deferred in that period.
Need Large Sums for improvements
That Il will require extensive work
to fully restore the condition OF the
properties, particularly equipment
to meet the requirements under nor
NAL traffic, and that large sums must
be raised for additions and better
ments. il the railroads are to be pre-
pared to help, and not to hinder, the
future commercial and industrial ex
pansion of the country.
In this situation the railroads are
not in position to experiment Che

incidentally. there is no justifica-
ton in Lenine's career for the as
sumption that once he has recog-
nized his mistakes he will avoid
making them over again. In the ad-
dress TO which l have already re-
ferred Lenine admits that for many
years before the Russian revolution
he and his followers recognized that
40 rapid transition to anything ap-
preaching communism was possible
for Russia He adds This, in a
way was forgotten by us when we
had to take the necessary steps to-
ward construction in the midst of
civil war"
Two or, three days before ne left
Switzerland to go to Russia. in 1917,
Lenine declared that neither COM
munism nor Socialism could be sue
cessfully introduced into Russia "for
many, many years. yet. despite
that knowledge. he made the fool
hardy experiment. As early as 1918
Lenine acknowledged that the poll
icy OF expressing the peasants was
shortsighted and leading directly to
disaster, yet he 4championed tha.
policy in 1919 and 1920. No one who
has closely followed Lenine's career
can possibly entertain any great re-
spect for his Intellect, or entertain
serious doubt that any marked inn
provement in the economic situation
in Russia would lead him once more
to make fantastic experiments. It
is not merely that communism must
be frankly abandoned, but that the
political rule of Russia by the Com
munist party must be ended.
