NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN CAPACITY OF RAILROADS SINCE 1922
Film Actor Learns
Wife Already Wed
To Another
~ InternstlonAl News Service.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. Ia
Revealing the matrimonial mis-
takes Of Lillian Hall, one Of the
beauties Of the Hollywood film
colony, Judge John L. Fleming
granted an annulment Of mar
rage here to Reed A. Chap
man, also a film actor, who
testified he married Miss Hall
and later learned that she. was
the legal wife Of Philip Lord,
prominent in vaudeville circles,
having played opposite Ethel
Barrymore on one Of the lead
ing circuits.
Records Of the Los Angeles
superior court were introduced
in evidence by Chapman's at
torney showing that Lillian
Jane Lord, said to be Miss
Hall, sued ISord for q divorce
since her marriage to Chap
man. The interlocutory decree
had been granted, but had not
been made final, the records
showed.
Chapman said he married
Miss Hall September 2, 1921,
and it was not until after they
had quarreled and separated, he
said, that he learned Of her
former marriage.

finds it demonstrated, however,
that on the whole, and irrespective
Of details, the carrying capacity OF
American railroads Is now con.
siderably larger than it was four
years ago and that our railroad
plant is much better able now thai,
it was then to respond to- the
growth and to the new needs Of
the country.
This gratifying and encouraging
fact can be expressed in the fol-
lowing terms:
In the year 1920 the maximum
capacity of our railroads to handle
freight was bit over forty six
million revenue loaded freight cars
per year. .,.t..<,,.N
1t now is almost fifty-five million
revenue loaded freight cars per
year.
1t is impossible to deny that there
has been great growth in the
power Of our railroad plant to serve
the country.
Would 1t have been greater IL
Federal control had been continued?
Is 1t now so great simply because
of the. superior effectiveness Of
private control? Those are Ipe:lIla-
tons. This writer confines himself
to recording the fact that a great
growth in the physical capacity Of
our railroad plant has undeniably
happened.
1t then becomes interesting to OBJ.

growth in actual service to the
public.
