Loss About Se0o,478,756.

Loss ABOUT pSOV,ff O,f %.
Former Director General Hines es-
timated the loss to the government
in operation during the period OF Fed
eral control would be 5000 47S,756, Mr.,
Davis said Because of claims rot
considered by MI Hines which have
arisen, he added, and the undercsti-
mate made in the allowance for main
tenance, fire losses, additions and bet
terments made solely for war pur-
poses, and other accounts, it is the es-
innate of the present director general
that the operating loss to the adj
ministration will be about 81 200, 000,-
600.
Supreme Court May Decide.
Differences between the administra-
ton and the carriers as to the liability
of the government for under main
tenance during Federal control,
amounting to several hundred million
dollars, may be carried to the Supreme
court for final adjustment, the report
said
1t was estimated that when all the
carriers have filed their under-main-
tenance claims they will aggregate be-
tween $7O0,0OO,O00 and $S00,000,000.
The report showed that the Rail
road administration had assets aggre-
eating $430,930, 138.08, consisting of
negotiable obligations of the carriers
such as equipment, trust obligations
and notes and bonds taken by the
administration during Federal con
troll
Roads Slow in Filing.
Delay in settling claims has been
caused chiefly by the slowness Of the
roads in filing their claims, the report
said. Up to the present time 149 OF
the 555 roads taken over have filed
their claims. representing 585 per
cent of the entire mileage, excluding
short lines.
81 have no desire to exaggerate the
importance of the complexities OF
making this final settlement" the di
rector general said in his report
"The property was operated under
the abnormal conditions of a World
war The demand for labor and ma.
terials in all industrial enterprises was
greatly in excess of the supply. In
the effort to combine this stupendous
aggregate OF Independent lines into a
single and co-ordinating concern much
of the operating property of individual
carriers was iuextricatly inter

Haunted by gloomy thoughts and
filled with morbid apprehension of
the future. w. j. Molter, a Round
Mountain miner. put an end to his
misery with bullet in the temple
Saturday afternoon. Deceased was
so years of age and unmarried. The
act was no surprise to Molter's
friends, because two days ago he was
heard to remark that he felt like TAX
ing shot of cyanide.
Molter was regarded as an incur
able pessimist who only worked few
shifts at intervals and was inconsol-
able ever since he injured his back
about month ago when he was en-
ployed by Nels Paulsen on the Paul
sen lease. Although he had fully re-
covered physically he did not seem
to regain his normal temperament.
The tragedy occurred in room in
the Taber Hotel at Round Mountain,
where Molter placed .32 caliber gun
to his temple and pulled the trigger.
A note written few minutes before
the shooting was found on a table.
The last message read:
Dear Nels; 81 can't stand this suf-
fering any longer. Forgive me.
can't help 1t. You can have what I
got.'
Molter was one of the best known
miners in Manhattan, where he was
an old-timer who came there with the
boom and exodus that brought hun
dreds of miners from Cripple Creek
to southern Nevada. His first stop
ping place was in Goldfield, where he
worked during the Winter of 1904
05, going to Manhattan in 1906. He
was a member of the Moose Lodge of
Plymouth, CAL, and was heavily in
terested in the Holly Extension at
Eureka, Nevada. For several days
it was known that he was expecting
remittance from Elko, and the fail
ure of this money to arrive is sup
posed to have induced a fatal des-
pondency.
