CAUGHT CHILL
WHILE AT MASS

The Illness OF Pope Benedict was
the result of a chill which his holi-
ness caught last sunday when he
was celebrating mass.
Thruout the week Pope Benedict.
altho suffering from what was de-
scribed by physicians as bronchial
catarrh,r remained cheerful. Yester-
day he asked to be allowed TO answer
some correspondence but the request
was refused by his doctors.
The turn for the worse came In the
early hours this morning. Pope
Benedict sank rapidly.
Pope Benedict. who was conscious
and tranquil during the early morn
ing, requested that the final sacra-
ment be readministercd in the pres.
ence OF the entire papal family and
court.
According to vatican ceremonial
the last sacrament Is 10 be admin.
istered only when the supreme pom
tiff Is on the verge of losing con
sciousness. but In practice this rule
has often been changed. as nearly
every pope has expressed the wish
to receive the holy wafer when fully
conscious of the solemnity and sane
tity of the act. Pope Benedict es.
pccialiy has often told his relatives
and private ohaplains that he pre-.
fefred TO receive the last communion

after standard return for two months

ernment guarantees, however, was S15,-

SIlb, ,4o6, ,292 represented q decrease of

more than Offset by decrease of S19,-

ueuucting tax accruals and uncollected
revenues and adding incorporating in
come the system showed gross income
OF $l2,979,756, compared with only

other charges were practically un-
changed in the aggregate, and the
statement shows a credit of S1,2O5, ,O12
on on account Of government guarantees
me company set down in it's balance
sheet an addition of S33,s00 900 to the
property investment account.
PRESIDENT Pearson explains this
change thus: "As part of the investi-
gation to determine the value of YOUR
eompany's property the law requires
that the original cost thereof to date
shal be ascertained. This has involved
a checking of the amounts expended in
iast years property chargeable to the
investment in road and equipment &C
counts, and has developed the fact that
PRIOR to 1908 large sums so chargeable
have been expended and charged in
stead to income, profit and loss and op-
Grating expenses"
On the liability side of the balance
sheet reserve for accrued depreciation
account was increased S8,115,OOO and
aodltlons to property through income
ana surplus account increased S25. $685.
OoO, the sum of the two euualing the
amount added to property investment
accounts.
Mr.. Pearson sums up the New Ha-
ven,s problems in these words:
,Ihe present problems are princi-
paily adequate revenues, efficiency and
economy in operation and that of valu-
alton, and through these the restora-
tion OF credit. Restored credit will
make possible whatever service NAV be
reasonably required"
lie voices the same sentiment ex-
pressed by other railroad presidents in
recent annual statements on the sub
Ject of regulation and taxation of
motor trucks that compete with rail
roads. AT present" MIR. Pearson points
out, "the trucks generally take only
the cream of the traffic. leaving to the
railroad the less profitable business,
coupled with the necessity of perform
ing continuous service at all times. of
readiness to handle excess traffic and
to operate during unfavorable weather
when motor trucks cannot or will not
run.
The trucks sap the revenues, where
as the railroad cannot proportionately
reduce its cost of operation. Under
these conditions the public to con-
siderable extent is supporting dupli-
cate systems of transportation
compelled to operate at all times and
the other free to act on its owners
pleasure"
