New York, Dec. 6 P)-America' $25,000, 0,90O,000 railway industry has swung the full force of it's old pio- neering energy to scientific improve ment and the perfection of equip ment.
 Figures disclosed in recent au- thoritatiVe statistical analyses are evidence that ;he railroads have found adventure in new direction
 The construction of new mileage reached it's high point in 1902, when more than 6,00O miles of track were laid.
 The figure dropped to less than 4,000 miles in 1904. rose again to $500 in 1906 and from that time decreased gradually, with minor fluctuations, until the present time.
 Since the war new mileage has average less than 1000 miles for any 12-month period.
 A century has gone by since the old asthmatiC grasshoppcr locomo- lives first frightened stage coach horses and aroused sullcn jealousy III pony express circles.
 Each year has decreased the amount of untapped territory. and the advent of motor cars made it possible to reach the back country without the aid of steel ribbons
 Today a few spurs and branch lines here and there each year take care of the situation, and the con- struction of these would remain the only expression of the railroad s pioneering tradition were it not for the discovery of wide open spaces of ureXplored science in transporta- tion.

 The true magnitude of this sum can be measured more accurately when it is set side by side with, for | Instance. total railway invest mcnt of s25,234,1G2.G51, or a net capitalization of S1S,136,691,445. These figures are taken for 1928 and 1927 respectively from a year. book Of railway information.

Washington, April a5 P-A plea for religious tolerance and adherence to the spirit of the constitution is the answer of Senator Borah, repub- lican. Idaho. to the latest effort Of Senator Heflin. democrat, Alabama, 10 have the senate condemn the treatment accorded him after his ku kluX klan speech last month at BroCkton, Mass.
 The Idaho senator's appeal was made late yesterday after Heflin had interrupted the farm relief debate in the senate with demand for ac- ton on his resolution condemning the Brockton incident. during which a bottle, hurled at him as he was leaving the hall after his speech, hit policeman.
 Citing a statement by the Alaba- man that his resolution determines the position of the United States senators as to whether they are for Roman Catholic church, Borah as- serted that it therefore can have only political effect, or. what is worse. a religious effect. and in nc sense do what the senator wants tc accomplish"
 Pounding his desk. the Idaho senator continued:

Watch Kept in Cuba

Havana, Sept. 27 LTp-Meteoro- logical experts watched today for signs of the tropical storm which seemed to have possibilities of af- fecting Cuba.
 One analysis assured Havana of safety for 24 hours, but unusual conditions prevailed and while it seemed certain the area of hurri- cane intensity was headed in a west southwest direction, it's vortex could not be placed and it's speed was de termined
 The Cuban national observatory and the Belcn college mcteorologi- cal department Concurred in placing the storm north of Andros Island, Bahamas. The storm was moving very slowly in a direction that might imperil shipping in the straits of Florida and Bahama waters and of fer some menace 10 the Florida keys and possibly to Cuba. Another re- port indicated the storm might again move to the west though southeast Florida and the keys but scarcely affect Havana.
 Dr. Gutierrez at Belen observa- tory, said the storm would pass be- tween Cuba and the Florida keys, he based this assumption on the fact there was a veering from south east and west-SOuthwcst.
