PILOTS BLAMED
IN AIR MISHAPS
So Per Cent Of Accidents
Due to Bad Judgment.

BU Science SCTCic6
NEW YORK, Oct 4.-Of the tou1
main types OF air accidents oe-
scribed today at the safety congress
by T. P. Wright, chief engineer air.
nlane division, Curtis Aeroplane and
Motor Company, those due to struc-
tural defects are the least important
numerically, but the most impor-
tant in their effect on the morale OF
prospective air passengers among
the general public. These accidents
make up per cent OF total air ac-
cidents.
Errors in judgment of the pilots
account for So per cent of the ac-
cidents. Better training for pilots
and more easily flown planes are
the remedies suggested for this
class.
Twenty per cent of all air ac-
cidents are due to forced landings
in unsuitable places, the remedy in
this case being more dependable
engines and multi-engined plane-
as well as more frequent landing
fields.
Miscellaneous conditions, chiefly
storms and bad weather, account for
another 10 per cent. Mr.. Wright
recommends more meteorological
stations with adequate radio facili-
ties for disseminating information
as the cure for this type of air &C

RUKEYSER SEES
HOPE Of RAIL
MERGER
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

Differences of opinion on crucial
points still prevent the principal
trunk lines Of the East from
agreeing on a specific plan for
consolidating all the railways OF
the section into four great systems.
General William Atterbury,
president OF the Pennsylvania, who
at the outset was furthest from
agreement with his competitors,
told me early in August that he
was hopeful that the Eastern rail-
roads might iron out their differ
ences before the end of 1923 and
present a definite consolidation
program TO the Interstate Com
merce Commission before the end
Of the year.
Doubt Early Merger
However, other main factors in
this drama of railroad weddings
have just informed me tina,
though hopeful of ultimate agree
ment. they doubt whether the
solution will be reached within
the next few months. One FAC.
tor making for delay is the Gus
tom of getting the heads OF the
New York Central, the PennSyi-
Vania, the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Nickel Plate together
around table only once
month.
1t is true, as reported, that
tho four systems are nearer agree.
ment than at any time in the past,
but they still differ over some
points which are by no means
minor. The principal figures be-
sieve that. when and If they
agree on a sound program, t
will be acceptable to the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
The discussions, which began
several years ago, were halted
for two years, when the Pennsyi-
vania upset the apple cart by
publishing its objections TO the
tentative plan OF the other three
roads. Round table conferences,
with General Atterbury presiding.
were resumed a few months ago
after members OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission, 1t Is be-
lieved, informally asked what,
was being done. The discussions
originally began at the inltId
tive of the railroad men them
selves.
The Pennsylvania objected to
the original plan on the ground
that, though it provided for ex.
pansion for the other three sys-
TENS, 1t did not provide for cor
responding growth by the Penn
sylvania. General Atterbury has
since made it plain that the Penn
sylvania intends to protect its
territory. In buying the Delaware
and Hudson holdings OF the Lee
high and the Wabash. he has ap-
parently raised new barriers.
Some OF his competitors were hop
ing that he was acting for the
group instead of for the Pennsyl-
vania exclusively.
The whole four power system
idea Is complicated by PennsyI-
vania's present preponderant size.

Spectators Warned
By Sisson to Cut
Stock Play

Here are some salient points Of
Francis w. Sisson's views on
the financial topics of the day:
]. The American people are
over.speculating, and conservative
bankers have been sounding a
plain warning against present
trends in the stock markets.
2. Stock trading has reached
its limit under the present
market facilities, and the 5,O0O,.
900 shares daily volume is not
likely to be exceeded, for some
time. ~
3. Measured by investment
yields and the current rate of
earnings, stock prices are too
high; considered from the stand
point of potential corporation
activities and profits, in many
lines there Is apparently no
limit that can be fixed to the
rising capacity OF stock prices in
this country.
4. FUNDAMENTAL business condl-
tions are sound.
S. High call loan rates and
time-money rates are imposing no
special burden on American BUSH
ness, for the reason that the
commercial borrowing rate rules
at per cent or less, and big
corporations generally have money
to spare.
6. The Federal Reserve banks
have a right to "hold out" on
rediscounts for banks which are
financing the stock market.
Z. New York city bankers are
loaping a comparatively small
amount Of their own money in the
call loan market.
8. Real estate values win settle
down to a lower level If stock
prices decline.

CITIES URGEDTO
BOOST HOME
INDUSTRY
BY b. C. FORBES

Most cities are keen to attract.
new industries, but are they
equally keen in their support OF
them once they are attracted?
Is it not too often true that a
business. like prophet. is little
honored locally? More than one
manufacturer has told me that he
gets less business from local ana
nearby territory than from the
people in other sections.
Can anything be done to
strengthen and develop your home
city enterprises?
Aided by Advertising
"rhe biggest result has been
the one we least figured on"
have been told in city after city
which has conducted aggressive
community advertising: The eff
feet upon our own people alone
has been worth the price. The
prominent presenting in the ad-
vertising pages of our local news
papers, as well as in national
publications, of the different
things our city could boast has
given our own folks a new sense
of pride in their community. 1t
has stirred many of them to new
enterprise. 1t has inspired them
with fresh confidence in the
city's future. 1t has stimulated
interest in all civic matters. 1t
has even caused a lot OF stores
and other establishments to
spruce up"
Readers OF this column were
told recently of the success
achieved by Baltimore Products
Week." during which practically
every window in the business sec
ton was given over to the dis
play of locally-produced goods.
The crowds that were attracted
astonished everybody. Sales inn
mediately went up and the men,
tai effect upon the people of
Baltimore was greatly worth
while.
Cities Stage Exhibits
What was then written created
widespread interest. Through the
cooperation of John p. Mack, of
the American City Bureau, which
has worked with various cham
bers of commerce in this helpful
line of activity, these facts have
been obtained:
At Pittsburgh, Pa, recently,
under the title of pittsburgh
Progress Week." the program in
cluded over 500 exhibits. This
was shortly followed at Detroit.
where a Lets Know Detroit"
mo nent resulted in more than

brought hearty commentator from
nationally known concerns which

CAR OWNERS ARE
.HURRY YING FOR
NEW LICENSES

The tide of 1923 auto license appli-
cations has turned again and while
there were only 60 applications taken
at the deputy assessors office in the
city hall on Thursday, there were 73
on Friday There is a reason for this
increase in that the bi-monthly pay
day at the railroads and smelterS is
in process of putting money in circula-
ton and another reason is that car
owners are beginning to realize that
the end of the month draws perilously
close.
Deputy Assessor James A. Howell
said yesterday that he was encouraged
by the increase but that there was still
large number of applications to come
in and be put through the mill in the
next ten days if every car in this dis
trict of Cochise county is to be prop
erly licensed on February /. The check
ofvcars on the streets brings in a bet
ter report as the days pass. There are
now about two new licenses for every
five cars one checks which is an indi-
cation that, supposing that one-fifth
of the cars with old plates have new
plates applied for already, then two
fifths of the cars have not had ap-
plications made yet and two-fifths OF
the cars in the Douglas district is prob
ably about 1900 cars so that 1900 per-
sons must make application for Ii
censes in the next ten days if they
are toEescape the penalties of violation
of the motor vehicle code, according
to the authorities.

FOR SINKING OF

BOSTON, Jan. 20 u)-Charges that
the coast guard destroyer Paulding
was directly responsible for the COLI
sion which sank the submarine Sd
with all On board on December II were
made and denied today at the closing

In his address to the court when

tins, said that the change of course of
the destroyer near the white buoys
marking the navy trial course off

for the submarine to avoid a collision.

dignantly denied the allegation

HOPKINS BOUND

With local business. men still bring
ing checks to the police station bear
ing some fictitious name in the familiar
handwriting that looks so much like
that of B. B. Hopkins, arrested Thurs
day on charges of passing bad checks
by the wholesale, the young man walk
ed ,out in front of the bar of justice
yesterday morning and told Judge
rJack 81 have admitted so much al
ready THAT I don't see any use in ask
ing for a hearing
Accordingly it was marked in the
books that B. B. Hopkins waived pre-
limi1lary hearing and was taken i'm
mediately to Tombstone What he will
do there is not known, but officers
said yesterday that he would probably
plead, guilty before the superior court
and accept the sentence imposed with
OUT attempting to fight the case. Of
fteers who talked with the youth on
Thursday eWhen he was arrested fol-
lowing a fight and foot race when
he tried to pass a check in local
grocery store, explained to him that,
following his own admission of guilt
and the very convincing evidence he
had little choice.
Following his arrest on Thursday
many merchants brought checks to the
officers all of which tailed in hand
writing with those which Hopkins adj
nitted to have written and passed. On
Friday additional checks were brought
in and officers, finding that Hopkins
had apparently not been employed in
any position in the city for more than
two months, stated that they believed
that he had lived from the receipts Of
his check passing operations.
