Pensy Lowest of
Four Big Lines
In 1925 Revenues
First Eight Months of Year
Atterbury ''Plan" Costs
S25,000,OO0

New York-Of the four big East
ern trunk line systems, the Pennsyl-
Vanla makes the poorest showing for
the first eight months of 1925.
The New York Central came first,
the Baltimore and Ohio a close sec
ond, the Erie third and the Pennsyl-
Vania brought up the rear.
The Central lines profits represent
ed 1916 cents out of every dollar of
revenue, while the Pennsylvania could
save only 1877 cents. As the Penn
sylvania's gross income for the 8
months was $435, 100000, this differ
ence of cents means a total loss to
Pennsylvania stockholders of approx
imately $25,00O,OOO
The B. & O. saved 16 cents out of
every dollar and the Erie 142 cents.
Even Wall Street is beginning to
note the failure Of the Atterbury
plan In a recent issue the Wall
Street Journal said:
1T will be observed that with $780,
OOO,OOO gross revenue in months of
this year the New York Central lines
have $76,O00,000 in net railway oper-
ating income (that is the technical
name for railroad profits), whereas
the Pennsylvania with roudly $435,-
100000 gross had under $60,0000OO
net"

mild" CHAFIN
Want Pardon For Notorious Gunman
and BOotlegging Sheriff

Washington-The United States
supreme court has upheld the convic-
tion Of Don Chafin, former sheriff of
Logan county, West Virginia, and
tool Of anti-union coal operators. He
was convicted of violating the prohi-
hilton act and fined $4,000 and sem
fenced to two years in the Atlanta
penitentiary by the federal court at
Huntington.
Chafin was czar Of Logan county.
AS sheriff he ran things with a high
hand and surrounded himself with an
army of gun men, who were paid by
the operators to hi-jack any trade
unionist who appeared in that sec
ton.
Application for the pardon of this
criminal has already been filed with
the department of justice by former
Governor Hatfield Of West Virginia
and two other attorneys. A direct
appeal to the White House will be
made by Chafin's friends, who are
backed by powerful coal interests.
These claim that the thug is mild
hammered man who was Framed" by
wicked union mine workers.

She Backfired
=:
WITH
APOLOGIES

1t is claimed by those who
profess to be wised up on such
matters that the unexpected
roorback exploded by His Honor
of the municipal court just the
night before the election, proved
to have such a strong backward
kick that it shook all the unde-
cided voters off the fence Of
hesitation, and that most of
them landed right-side-up in
Mayor Stevens yard is proved
by the vote he received, next
day. These wiseacres assert
that the Judges efforts to slay
his enemy really resulted in
placing him upon the coveted
throne, which before that was
irrevocably lost.
Mebby so, and mebby not,
who can tell?

OVERRIDING 1t

The Hired Man" is far from
being an anti-tobacco crank, in
fact he sees no objection to it's
moderate use by anyone who so
desires, and he honestly believes
that much pleasure, comfort and
satisfaction may be derived
thereby.
But sometimes it happens that
other peoples pleasures are an
noyances to their neighbors.
The truth of this assertion is
proved by the reprehensible
practice of at least one Of the
drivers of our city busses, who
happens to be an inveterate to-
bacco cheWer. This man, when
ever his capacious mouth be-
comes so overloaded with exces-
sive moisture that immediate
evacuation is imperative, leans
over, opens the door by which
the passengers enter and leave
the car, and unconcernedly
floods the steps Herewith. In
other words he spits all over the
gangway.
Now it just happens, in this
progressive age, the scanty,
knee-high skirts of the ladies
are too far removed from the
earth to be soiled by contact
with the filthy mess through
which they must wade, but it is
an unpleasant ordeal neverthe-
less, not only for them but also
for those of the opposite sex
who are frequently seen hitch
ing up their long voluminous
twenty-four inch in diameter
trousers just like our mothers
used to do with their old time
long skirts when hopping over a
mud puddle.
If a convenient trapdoor was
cut in the car floor or a bucket
of sufficient capacity was pro-
vided for the chauffeur's bene-
fit, all this trouble and annoy
ance would be eliminated and ev-
erybody would be happy.
The adoption of this plan is
suggested to the street railway

A Poor Ignorant
Immigrant Boy
Skaters Idol
The Recent Heart-ThrOb Story
of New York Newspapers
Branded as Untrue

New York - Recently the daily
newspapers printed heart-throbbing
story of how Adolph Koppel, poor
immigrant boy, by hard work and
unusual saving qualities, rose from a
menial position to the presidency OF
the Central Savings bank in this city.
This fanciful account was rudely
shattered by Mr.. Koppel when seen
at his banking office.
"No, | was neither penniless nor
hungry when | landed" said Mr.. Kop-
pel. II went straight to my uncle's
home and had fine meal. My aunt
bought me pair of skates and |
spent most of the winter loafing and
skating in Central Park.
"Tell US about your first job" said
a reporter. :.
"Well, l got $5 a week." he replied.
"And you saved part of that?"
ooh, no." came back Mr.. Koppel.
81 spent it all and SO more a week
nv uncle gave me. | scarcely saved
a cent until | was 26 years old and
married.
"And to what" persisted the re-
porter, "dO you owe your success-to
long hours, hard work and constant
devotion to your duties -
"Not at ALL" responded the new
bank president. 81 owe it all to letting
the other fellows die. First, the cash
ier died. | was secretary and they
gave me his job because they didn't
want to bring in an outsider. Next.
the treasurer died. | took his place.
Recently the president died and |
succeeded him. That was all there
was to it.

Ever since last August, when
the wall of the power house

liable and expensive engine and

Of the army ana navy air services
opened in Washington with all due
ceremony, and the abandoned census
bureau building in which the proceed
lngs are being held was crowded with
fashionable thrOng that made the
affair look like a society function.
Congressman Reid of Illinois was
Mitchell's civilian counsel and at the
outset he sprung a surprise by chal-
lenging three members Of the court on
the ground that they were untitled by
prejudice, hostility, bias and ami
mostly to the accused" fairly and just
ly to try the colonel. Brig. Gen. A ].
Bowley and Maj. Gen. f. w. Sladen
first were removed from the bench,
their brother officers sustaining the
hallenges. Then Mr.. Reid demanded
That Maj. Gen. G. Z. Summerall, presi-
,cnt Of the court, should be withdrawn,
asserting that he was prejudiced be-
cause Mitchell in 1923 in an official re-
port had severely criticized his (Sum-
merall's) handling of affairs in the
Hawaiian department. General Sum
neral, flushed with anger, said:
I'm view of the bitter personal hos
tility of Colonel Mitchell toward me
which l here have learned Of for the
first time, / cannot consent to sit on
this court"
The court sustained this challenge,
as it had the others, and Maj. Gen. r.
l.. Howe succeeded to the presidency.
Mr.. Reid then, contesting the courts
jurisdiction and protesting that
Mitchell should not be tried on the
charges brought, disclosed that the
defense would be based on the claim
that the colonel in making his criti-
cisms had committed no offense against
army and navy discipline; that he in
cited no soldier to mutiny, slandered
no individual and named no individuals
in his charges, and that he had per
feet right to talk as he did. The law
yer then quoted this from President
Coolidge's address to the cadets at
Annapolis last June:
y
the fullest latitude in expressing their
views before their fellow citizens, sub
iect, of course, to the requirements of
not betraying those confidential affairs
which would be detrimental to the
service. 1t seems to me perfectly
proper for anyone, on any suitable oc-
casion, to advocate the maintenance
of navy in keeping with the great
ness and dignity of our country"
Reeds contention was not sustained
and the trial continued.
r IEUT. JAMES II. DOOLITTLE,
IL with a little black Curtiss racer,
won new honOrs for the navy and the
country in the air races at Baltimore.
First he succeeded in keeping the
jacques Schneider seaplane trophy In
the United States, making the 100
kilometers in the new speed record for
the contest of 234.772 miles an hour.
A British entry was second and one
from Italy third Doolittles plane was
the same one which, as a land plane,
won the Pulitzer trophy when piloted
by Lieutenant Belts. Next day Lieu
tenant Doolittle took the air again in
the same ship and drove it over a
three kilometer course in the fastest
time ever made by a seaplane-243.713
miles an hour-though the conditions
were unfavorable.

THROUGH the French in Syria speed

Gus promoted by the Druses, as pre-
viously recounted, the circumstances
Of that suppression have brought forth
angry protests from other Christian
nations and have aroused the Moslem
world almost to the point of starting
general racial and religious war.
General Sarrail's troops relentleSsly
shelled the ancient city, destroying the
Mohammedan sections and much of
the Jewish section that lay between
them. Between two and three thou
sand persons were killed, many of
them being Christians and Jews, for

Christian part of the famous Street
Called Straight, killing and wounding
many before the officer in charge
found out that he was on the wrong

In Paris there is strong pressure on the
government to compel the recall of
General Sarrail, who is high commits
siOner in Syria.
For the present Damascus itself Is
cowed, but the Druse rebellion is
strengthened by the accession of

News Review of
Current Events
War Between Bulgaria and
Greece Is Prevented by
the Leagues Council
By EDWARD w. PlCKARD

n NCE more the League of Nations
~ has justified it's existence. F'unc-
tioning promptly and firmly, the league
council last week compelled Greece
and Bulgaria to refrain from warfare,
to withdraw the forces that had In
vaded each others territory and to
leave to the league for settlement the
frontier quarrel that had brought them
to actual blows and threatened to start
another serious Balkan war.
When the council met in Paris with
NJ. BRAND as president no time was
lost in informing the two small powers
that they must submit to its dictation,
and q short time limit was set for
obeyance The Greeks were sulky and
INCLINED to quibble, seeking to present
their case at once to the council and to
justify their attack on Petrich and
other Bulgarian towns. But BRAND
and his colleagues silenced them and
declared the councils utimatum
meant just what it said. There was
the plain intimation that disobedience
would be followed by naval blockade
of Greek ports. SO the representa-
tives from Athens were authorized by
their government to. promise full COM
pliance with the orders. Bulgaria had
given that pledge already. Investi-
gators were sent at once by the council
to the frontier to see that the prom
ises were kept, and an inquiry was
begun into the causes Of the quarrel
by mixed commission under the
auspices of the league.
