RAILROADS SHOW MORE
GAINS ON VALUATION
Fine Earnings Indicate Enlarged
Facilities and Further New
| Equipment.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Final fig
ures for railroad earnings during
January show that class l roads. as
a whole. earned 5.54 per cent on their
valuation. This compares with SIS
per cent in December and 2.69 per
cent in February a year ago. The
January figure is only one-ffth of l
per cent below the figure fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission as
fair return. Except for March
year ago. when revenue was swollen
by an abnormal coal movement in an
1icipation of the coal strike. the Janu-
airy figure is the best since October,
1921.
In financial quarters these good
earnings We're source of considera Bile
qualification. because they we're taken
as indicating that the roads will be in
position to continue the enlarge
ment of their facilities. and that the
equipment companies will still find
the carriers liberal buyers.

Prohibition Looms Up As Big Topic
at Convention OF New York East
Conference in Bridgeport.

Bridgeport. April 11.-Prohibitior
doomed as big topic for considera-
ton of the New York East Metho-
dist Episcopal conference this aft
-ernoon in the opinion of Rev. DR..
David G. Downey, book editor of the
denominational publishing house. He
said that the Lying propaganda of
the vets would be refuted" and fol-
lowing the example set by the New

made to the public press to give
just as much prominence to the ia
vorable things about prohibition as to
the unfavorable things. DIR. Downey
also forecast an appeal for stricter
enforcement Of the prohibitory laws.
The session which opened today and
will extend through April 16, is the
18th of this conference. The matter
of women being ordained to the min
istry may be discussed but no action
will be taken as this subject has been
put over SO far as action is con-
cerned, until the conferences next
year.
The presiding bishop is DR.. Thomas
Nicholson of Chicago and he admin
istered communion at the first ses-
sion. There were about 400 clergy
men present.

adjoining room, he rushed to win
dow. Ten feet below stood neigh
Dor. Thomas Nugent, who had run
over to awaken him. Wrapping each
of his three children in blankets he
tossed them. one by one to Nugeht
who caught each safely. Then Mrs.
Steers climbed over the sill and
jumped to Nugent's arms. She was
followed by Steers who swung by his
hands from the window and dropped
uninjured to the ground.
BY the time the volunteer fire bril-
gade, with headquarters near the
dairy of Joseph O'Dowd, arrived on
the scene, the Steer home was mass

No one is on duty nights at the fire
station, SO O'Dowd, who saw the
flames rising from the back of the
Steer home, rang the fire bell.
