AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
FOR GREECE AT ATHENS

ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 3.-The
beginning of an American Univ ers-
ity in Athens, project dear to the
ireek heart, is marked by the open
ng of the first unit of such a uni
'ersity, preparatory school to be
nown as the American School Of
,thens. The purpose of the school,
as specified in its governmental
charter, is ''to provide western train
ing for Greek youths. Eventually
it is hoped that funds will be provid-.
ed for the additional of college
courses, as we'll as for schools of
scientific studies, law, pedagogy and
other branches. The Greek govern
ment has provided land on a gener-
Gus scale, and the school will have
exceptional treatment in exemptions
from taxation and similar govern
mental favor.
The school is under theg direction
of a Greek-American committee, of
which the American members H. C.
Jaquith, director of the Near East
helief, and Prof. Bert H. Hill, head
of the school of Classical Studies

INDIAN RITES
CAUSE MURDER
Believed That Carmen Wagner,
Beautiful Girl, Was Killed in
Accordance With Rites

EUREKA, Cal, Nov. 3.-Theory
that Carmen Wagner, 18-year-ol9
girl found murdered near here re-
Gently, may have been killed in ac-
cordance with sacrificial rites of an
ancient Indian tribe by a descendant
of the tribe, was advanced by Dr.
f. o. Heinrich, Berkeley criminol-
ogist, who returned to Eureka aft
er visiting the place where the body
was found buried.
About 800 yards away, Dr. Helm
rich said he had found an ancient
altar where the girl may have been
sacrificed by the person who first
shot and killed Miss Wagner's COM
panion, Henry Sweet.
at is possible that descendant of
the Indians in the vicinity was vic
tim of a bareback to the old re-
ligious beliefs of his forefathers and
he may have conceived the idea of
sacrificing a young woman on the
moss-covered altar" the criminol-
ogist said.

RAILROADS Still.
EAR MINING LESS
THAN BEFORE II
Statements of Officials Say That
Earning Are Still Below Pre-
War Figures

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2.-Earn.
ing capacity of the railroads is still
below what it was before the war
according to statement made pub
lie here today by railway executives.
For the seven years ending 1917,
the class l roads earned at an an
nual rate of return Of 400 on the
property investment. In the years
1921 to August 1925, the rate of re-
turn has averaged only 3.94 per cent
on the property investment. The
roads, it was stated, have reported
a net operating income for August
Of the present year, which was great
er than for any month since 1920,
with the exception of October 1924.
There was no valuation made of the
roads prior to 1920.
The return earned in the years
preceding government operation, it
was stated here, was so inadequate
that the annual investment made in
improvements and new facilities de
bl1AGh llOlil ilOlN bliSAll OllN bllAAOii
dollars in 1911 to less than $50 dol
lars in 1916. The inadequacy of the
return earned during this period, it
was pointed out by Atlanta eXecu-
tives, was tacitly conceded by Con
gress when in framing the Transpor-
tation Act, it decided it was expe-
dent and necessary to adopt provis-
ions assuring the railroads that their
rates would be so regulated in future
as to enable them to earn fair re-
turn.
In 1916 the net operating income
of the railways was the largest in
history, it was stated here, and yield
ed a return of $50 per cent on the
property investment. Thus far this
year, it was asserted, it has shown a
small increase over 1916. Since that
year, however, the investment of new
capital in the railways has amount
ed to almost six million dollars. In
consequence in the first eight months
of this year the return earned was at
the annual rate of only 4.65 per cent
which is not only much less than in
1916, but less than the average earn
ed in the entire seven and one-half
years Immediately preceding the
adoption of government control.
Although the country is now more
prosperous than at any time since
before the war, the pre-war earning
capacity of the railways as a whole
has not been restored Atlanta exc
cutives assert.
