ASSAILS ATTITUDE
OF THE GOVERNMENT
President Rea of the PennsyI-
vania R. R. System Issues
His Annual Report

Philadelphia Pa. - President Sam.
uel Rea of the Pennsylvania Railroad
system. in his annual report, said that
1T is difficult to understand the con
tinued failure of our federal and state
governments and the commissions ap-
pointed for that purpose, to enforce a
constructive railroad policy when it is
considered that the railroads are
owned by the public and their saw
ings, insurance and other institu.
tions."
"The credit of the railroads, upon
which depends the expansion of their
tracks, equipment and facilities" the
report stated, cannot be assured un.
less they are allowed to earn a fair
return upon their investment, sufi
cient to encourage additional capital
to be invested to give greater esrvice
to be invested to give greater service
to the public"
This failure to deal equitably with
the railroads. the report said, "is all
the more incredible, because it is still
possible to secure beneficial legisla.
tion for the farms, the industries, the
highways and the waterways.
ut must be clear to reasonable peo-
pie that a railroad regulator policy
which since 1908 has allowed a return
upon the railroad investment averag
ing only about 4 per cent per annum
for this 15-year period is not regula.
tion, but confiscation of the invest
ment.
"The railroads do not plead for ap-
preparations OF government monies
nor for any government guarantee
they ask only for the freedom, under
reasonable regulation to so operate
their properties that they can earn
from remunerative rates fair return
upon their investment"

Albany, N. Y State Senator Ell.
wood NJ. Rabenold of counsel for Wal.
ter S. Ward of New Rochelle, who is
alleged to have shot and killed Clar-

voir last May, refused point blank to
cooperate with state officials investi-
eating the case to the extent of dis
closing to them what he contended
was confidential information.
Mr. Rabenoids refusal to aid in the
investigation came when Attorney
Sherman and Deputy Attorney Cham.
bers were questioning him as to the
source of information given to the au-
thorities of Westchester county.
To all questions Mr.. Rabenold de-
clined to answer, stating they would
involve confidential information. He
told the attorney general that, al
though there had been time when
his firm was ready and willing to help
the authorities to the fullest extent,
that time had passed. Abuse of the
confidence placed in the Westchester
officials caused the attorneys to
change their viewpoint regarding in
formation and aid, Mr.. Rabenold said.
Allan r. Campbell, another member

mean almost certain apprehension.
Other bonds, negotiable and non-ne

$225,0O0, and s100 in cash, also were
in stolen pouches, according to the

His Discovery of the Tomb of

In Egypt.

Cairo, Egypt-The Earl of Carnar-
Won whose death was due to blood
poisoning through the bite of an in
sect with the later development of

The death of the earl comes soon
after the elimination of the exploit
that brought him chiefly into public
notice-the discovery of the rich tomb
or the Pharoah Tutenkhamen in the
Valley OF the Kings in Egypt by the
archaeological expedition which he
headed
While the press of the world was
still devoting no small amount of its
space to the notable contributions TO
the worlds art and history which
Lord Carnarvon and his fellow ex-
plorers had uncovered, came the news
that he had been suddenly stricken
down and was lying seriously ill in
Cairo from the bite of an insect.
BY the public at large the misfor-
tune which the earl had met was re-
garded as a lamentable incident of
what might happen in a tropical
cline, such as that of Egypt But the
credulous students OF Egyptian mys-
ticism the news did not come as a
surprise.
Even before Lord Carnarvon was
stricken with blood poisoning, an
nounced as due to an insect bite, there
had been talk of the curses laid by
the ancient Egyptians with mystic
incantations on any who dared dis
turb the sleep of a Pharoah.
