Capt. Carroll paid a tribute to the
good work of his own officers, also, ex-
planning that they, too, had a difficult
Job of it, the rain making traffic harder

on the wet roads. Today the park
police have sore arms as the result of
waving to drivers to keep vehicles

PARIS, April LP.-Foreign Minis
ter BRAND is going back to London
tomorrow for what is regarded in
French official circles as the final week
of the Nvaal Conference.
The slight progress made toward an
understanding between France and
Great Britain as to the Interpretation

by these same sources as sufficient to
justify further efforts toward complete

deadlocked, it is thought impossible to
prolong the conference, especially as
the Easter holidays are approaching.

VAN SWER|NGENS
 LARGEST OWNERS Railroad Empire Is Biggest Pri.
 yately Owned in World

New York, March 26.-(P-The New York Times said today that by recent deals o. P. and NJ. J. Van SNcrinsen of Cleveland have round cd out a railroad empire that is the largest privately owned one in the world.
 Their s2,O00,o00,O0O 1s.0oO-mile network is exceeded only in the western hemisphere by the 10000 miles of the Canadian National Rail- ways and elsewhere only by the 30,- coo miles of the German State Rail- ways. IL cclipses those of such sys- tems associated with the names of Gould, Vanderbilt Hill and Harri- man.
 The railroad influence of the Van Swerinsens extends from New York to Salt Lake City and from Chicago and St. Louis to Omaha, Fl Paso. Galveston and New Orleans. A line controlled by a friendly interest connects the system to San Fran cisco.
 Bought Nickel Plate
 The brothers entered the railroad world in 1916 when they purchased the then broken down Nickel Plate road from the New York Central for se.0o0,o0 in cash and ss,5oo,OOO in notes.
 They had been in the real cSate business and became interested in transportation from the desire to obtain a street car line from Clevc- land to d suburban real estate de- velopment.
 Today they control directly the Chesapeake & Ohio. the Erie and Nickel Plate. Through the Alleghany Corporation and by other meaas they control the Hooking Valley, the Pere Marquette, the Wheeling (; Lake Erie, the Missouri Pacific and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois.
 The 1S,o00 miles of road controlled by the Van Sweringens are capital ized at sSos0o0, 900 and the invest ment in road and equipment valued at s2,OS4,e00,0O0.
 A comparison of tho mileage with other leading roads of the country follows: Pennsylvania. 1o,466 miles; New York Central, 6.9l1: Baltimore & Ohio. 5,6S9; Atchison, Topeka S5 Santa Fe, 12.3S3: Union Pacific, 9.S57; Southern Pacific, 1S.599; Great Northern. S,4o9; Northern Pacific. 6,771,
