RAIL SAVING QUESTIONED
Necessary Maintenance Work Only
Postponed, Says Expert.

WATERLOO, Iowa, December II up.
C. D. Morris of Chicago, member of
the Western Railways Committee or
Public Relations said in an address
prepared for delivery today that Western
railroads reduced their expenditures for
maintenance SIS, ,00O, 900 during the hrst
nine months of 1880, in comparison
with the same period of 1929. He spoke
before the Lions Club
Most of this reduction in expcndi-
lures Is but postponement of main
tenance work and not permanent
economy" he said The work must be
done eventually and postponement Of

THE reduction was necessary in order

Federal Action Possible

Washington, Sept. IS Pl-A fed eral proceeding against Bert Acosta air pilot who won fame with Rear Admiral Byrd in a transatlantic flight, was in prospect today as a result of his arrest in Connecticut for illegal flying.
 While the Connecticut charge Is based on state regulations entirely. the aeronautical and some of the federal government took prompt in terest in the matter, because Acosta is without flying rights as pilot under the national licensing system.
 His federal license was suspended for improper flying and a fine i'm posed against him in addition. He failed to pay the money; the original license period for which his permit was issued expired and he has now no pilot status of any sort.
 The federal investigation institut- cd today was aimed at determing whether he had flown across a state line into Connecticut in a federally licensed airplane, and whether he made a trip for business purposes.
 Such action by him would consti- tute a violation of law and subject him to further penalty, regardless of what is done in Connecticut.

 Enterprise, the American defend CT. has only to win one more race to take the series, four victories to none.
 Shamrock Leaves First Shamrock V, Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger, was first away from her mooring in Newport harbor, taking tow from her tender Doodle at s:3O (E. s. T). Enterprise soon | followed. and as yesterday, hoisted her main sail when clear of the harbor, for the run out to sea. Today's race was over a 30 mile triangular course, three legs of ten miles each.
 The velocity of the breeze was | estimated at between five and six miles an hour, but seemed to be freshening.
 The breeze had picked up to an | estimated II miles an hour at 9:2O and appeared to be getting stronger The sea was smooth point in | Shamrock's favor,
 The breeze continued to freshen as the two racing craft reached the starting line shortly before 10 o'clock.
 Both boats logged abdut the starting line. the Enterprise in main, jb and staysail and the Shamrock under main and jib.
 The sea was much easier than yesterday but the wind was picking up spray form the top of the waves Both sloops were riding easily.
 Smallest Fleet Seen The smallest spectator fleet since | the international series started was | on hand to view todays race. Aside from the patrol boats, little rem ain- ed of the great armada that was out , for the first race last Saturday.
 The postponement of Tuesday and the mishap to Shamrock which eliminated her soon after the start yesterday apparently had cooled the interest of those that go down to hte sea to see a race.
 The course signal was hoisted a

 | The first ten mile leg would carry the boats close in to the Narragan- sett shore where the water is smoother than it is further out to sea, an advantage to Shamrock.
 The ten minute warning signal was sounded at 1o;3o. The prepara- tory signal was sounded at 10:35.
 Enterprise and Shamrock crossed the starting line almost together, with the challenger in the weather berth but moving very slowly. On the first tack Comm odore Van derbilt sent his white hulled de- fender into the weather berth. Shamrock Begins to Gain
 The Shamrock began to foot faster and soon had opened up 200 yard lead, the second time during the series she had shown her heels to the American boat. She led yester- day up till the time of her mishap when a main halyard parted and let | her main sail down in the water, forcing her from the race. Half an hour after the start, l Shamrock hauled in her baby top sail, evidently on the ground it was l L a1,,tN hn fa fN ward. which would lose her the ad- 1 vantage over Enterprise. She con- tinued under staysail, main and jib.
 Enterprise was carrying the same sail as Shamrock and in addition baby jib.
 Vanderbilt held his boat half mile to weather of the challenger and although it was difficult to judge he seemed to be overcoming the challenger's lead. N
 Shamrock did not hold to her ad- vantage long. At 11:25 Enterprise, picking up speed with every minute, had stepped out ahead of the chal- lehger.
 Going like a racehorse she had opened up lead estimated at mile, reversing the progress of the first 20 | minutes.
 Shamrock, which had held in for shore where the sea was smoother, apparently realized she was losing valuable ground and shortly after 11:30 came around.
 Vanderbilt put His boat over on the starboard tack a moment later,with- put losing any of his advantage.
 The crew of the British boat was taking desperate measures to bring their boat higher into the wind, but she did not appear to respondsread- d. fly.
 The situation is analogous to that of a horse race, in which one hugs the rail and the other runs out in the middle of the track, taking what is called the overland route" to the finish line, a route that is many lengths the longer.
 Increases Advantage
 Enterprise continued to increase her advantage and at 11:45 was a mile and half ahead.
 The computations of the distance between the two boats were made by Lieutenant o. T. McDermott, navi- gating officer of the Kane. using & range finder with which the navy computes the distance away of a

 Maetta was threatened with a jail sentence by Judge Morris D. SaXe yesterday unless he paid a

 The long chase began a few miles from Narragansett Pier when the truck failed to stop on order from a state trooper. The police officer, in a roadster, started in pursuit along Tower Hill road. His car was ditch ed by the truck but he resumed the chase, firing shots intermittently.
 Passes Towns Speedily
 Speeding at 6b miles an hour the truck passed through Wickford and later East Greenwich. where local police tried in vain to stop the heavy machine. At Warwick two To- cal policemen joined in the chase and in the Pontiac section of this town the truck was stopped when pursuing police punctured the two front tires with bullets.
 Authorities believed that the 73 cases of liquor aboard the truck had been landed during the night from rum boat near Narragansett Pier.

 Commodore Vanderbilt, who knows the tides and wind currents of the course put in for shore at, 11:5O, seeking the current which runs sometimes as high as three miles an hour.
 The Shamrock's skipper, apparent ly discarding his earlier plan to sail his own race regardless of what En- terprise did, followed Enterprise in toward shore. He had tried the shore road too soon, 1t appeared. and g. long tack toward the open sea had only lost him ground.
 Enterprise rounded the ten mile marker at 12:03:15.

 Has Right to Reasons
 Senor Ferrara replied with vigor cussion of her reasons by the com- mittee. These reasons are an ex- pression of Cubas sovereignty" he asserted. "and must not be chaI- lenged. Her reasons must be accept ed"
 The Cuban representative conclud- cd that NJ. Poltis' remarks were in the nature of an election speech" /" He asserted that neither M Poltis nor Greece could dictate to Cuba.
 Signor Scialoja admitted that he was partly to blame for permitting the discussion to continue in a con- troversial tone. He said that both M Politis and Signor Ferrara had been out of order and closed the. discus sion.
 The delegates applauded this de- termination, while the Cuban and the Greek smiled their readiness to turn to less dangerous topic. M. Polltis' criticisms are recogniz- ] ed here as'an expression of the vexa- tion of many governments that the protocol has been blocked by one country. It is charged informally here by the critics of Cuba that her objections arise from the opposition Of the Cuban judge on the court, Senor Antonio Sanchez De Busta- mente to living permanently away from Cuba and abandoning his home law practice.
 What Senor Ferrara meant by his reference to M. Poltis' "election speech was interpreted in some quarters as meaning the Greek dele gate was making a speech to defeat future reelection of Bustamente.
