Rail OFFICERS
DENY Hines
Say Lines Were Not in SO
Bad Condition as Con-
tended

Statistics are issued in a state
ment by the Association OF Railway
Executives. 81 Broadway. New York.
to confute the testimony OF Walker
d. Hines. former Director-General OF
Railroads. concerning the condition
of the roads when they were return
ed to their owners.
Mr.. Hines, declared that the state
ment that the railroads were turned
back in an under-maintained and
broken down condition was "a fiction
representing extraordinary distortion
of the facts"
"At the beginning OF Federal con-
troll 17.5 per cent Of the equipment
was in bad order" the railroad ex-
ecutives say. ',After twenty-six
months OF Government operation
25.6 per cent. OF the locomotives
were in bad order.
AT the beginning OF Federal con-
troll there were in use by the car
riers about 2,25s,o0O freight cars. of
which 81 per cent. or. 12s,7sO cars
were reported in bad order. At the
end OF Federal control the railroads
had 1907. 900 cars, of which 6.7 per
cent, or 153,727 cars we're in bad
order.
"Cross-tie renewals in 1918 and
1919 (the period OF Federal con-
troD we're 25,0oo.o0o ties below the
test period averaging (1915-16-17);
number of ties sufficient to lay
nearly 5000 miles of track.
Rail renewals during the two
years OF Federal control we're 440.-
2SO tons below the average of , the
test period.
"The amount Of ballast used dur
ing the period OF Federal control
was 1,S16.100 cubic yards less than
the average used in the test period.
"The greatest danger which the
railroads faced during the period Of
Federal control was the impairment
or destruction Of their earning pow
er by an increase OF expenditures
not compensated by an adequate
increase in rates. The Director-Gen-
eral had control OF both expenses
anl rates The railroads have a just
cause OF complaint against the Di-
rector-General for refusing to re-
cognize az least the moral obliga-
ton to maintain, so far as possible,
the proper relationship between rail-
road revenues and railroad ex-
penses."

the order was paid in full by his
client up until the time he gained
custody Of them. Mr.. Jamison's ap-
plication was opposed by Assistant
City Solicitor Green. who is counsel
for Mrs Needham.
Mr.. Green remarked that Needham
had taken the children in violation
OF an agreement entered into by the
defendant and his wife before Judge
Hastings, in which Needham con-
sented that his wife should have
the custody OF the children. Mr..
Jamison said that that agreement
was not law" and that, in addition,
Mrs. Needham was the first to vfo-
late it in not permitting her hus-
band to see the children.

outline PLAN
FOR COL. GRAPH
Reorganization Without In
terruption of Business
Committees Program
SEND LETTER TO
HOLDERS OF NOTES

NEW YORK, Jan. so.-The com
mittee OF creditors trying to adjust
the financial affairs Of the Columbia
Graphophone Company, has issued
the following suggested plan to hold
ers of the companys 8 per cent
notes:
Committees representing substan-
TALLY all of the bank creditors and
merchandise creditors (who hold
about rs per cent. of the Columbia
Graphophone Manufacturing Com
pany's total indebtedness) have been
engaged in formulating a plan where
by the company's Indebtedness will be
voluntarily readjusted without inter
ference with the continuation and
development OF its business. It is
highly desirable that the notehold-
ers cooperate with these other
creditors in the formulation and car
rying out OF such a plan. that IL
possible, the expense and loss OF
business incident to a re-organiza-
tion through court proceedings be
avoided.
That the noteholders' may take
concerted action to this end, the un-
dersigned committee has been form
ed to represent them. Noteholders
are invited to deposit their notes on
or before February rs. with the
Guaranty Trust Company OF New
York, 140 Broadway, New York
City, as depositary. under a deposit
agreement which is now in course of
preparation. Copies OF this agree
ment, under which the committee
will act. win be available for distri-
button at the Office OF the Depository
in the near future.
The members of the committee
have agreed to serve without com
pensation. The deposit agreement
will provide that the maximum ex-
pense which may be charged against
any depositor will not exceed one
per cent. OF the principal amount Of
his notes.
The deposited notes in transfer
able form must be accompanied by
the coupon, payable February 1,
1922, and by all subsequent coupons.
as well as by ownership certificates
in accordance with the Federal In
come Tax Law. Against such de-
posits the Depository will issue its
transferable certificates Of deposit.
The committee has made arrange
ment whereby the February 1, 1922,
coupon on notes deposited on or be-
fore February is. 1922. will be ac-
quired by the committee represent
ing bank creditors and held for such
disposition under the plan or other
wise as shall be equitable.
This arrangement assures ia
noteholders who deposit their notes
on or before February Is. the i'm.
mediate receipt Of the $40 repre-.
sented by the February 1 coupon.
From informal discussions already
had with the committee represent
/ ing bank creditors and merchandis,
creditors it seems highly probabl,
that plan fair to all the creditor.
and much to their interest can bs
carried out promptly il the notes
are deposited at once. Noteholder,
are therefore urged to deposit theil
notes Immediately.

I InconcIusiVe Week.

NEW YORK, February 1S.-The
conflicting course of political de-
relopments at Washington, due to
proposed bonus legislation and case
,nent of money rates here and abroad
were foremost influences of another
tnconclusive week in the financial
markets.
Banking and commercial interests
were divided regarding the advis-
ability of sales tax and little
question of compensation leGisla-
tion, but opposition to bond issue
was practically unanimous.
Reduction of the Bank of England
discount rate to the level prevailing
at this and other leading federal
reserve districts ocassioned no sur
prise in view of the sharp rise OF
sterling exchange and the very IA
vorable turn in the British trade
balance.
Other Foreign Interests.
Improved trade and better general
economic conditions were the chie1
reasons given for the further ad-
vance of French, Belgian and Italian
currencies. Buoyancy of neutral ex-
changes especially those on Holland
and other north European centers'
suggested that recent hnanclai ten

war obligations was renewed by the
statement of Il prominent member OF
the French chamber OF deputles

this statement. French and other
European underwritings were active
and strong, trading embracing the
largest number of foreign issues
since the close of the war.
Popular shares Show Gains.
In the stock market gains pre-
dominated among popular shares, Dut
the movement lost some OF the
strength as Il result of 1A)it-takfng

slowing down Of production in the
automobile and affiliated trades ana
