Dealings slowed to the customary

Speculative forces seemed much
happier regarding the change for the

the concensus was that a general

There were few brighter spots on
the business picture, but most raiders
apparently were content to remain in
neutral territory pending more definite
developments in Congress on tax re-
vision and the formation of legislative
plans to pull the railroads out OF the

Henry A. Scandrett, president and
trustee of the Chicago. Milwaukee. St,
Paul & Pacific Railroad. estimated
today the road would have a net
operating deficit of S482 900 for the
first six months of 1888, compared
with a net operating income of
$4,36l 1863 for the first half of 1887.
Testifying at the Milwaukee road
reorganization hearing before the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Scandrett submitted a forecast of the
roads earnings and cash situation for
the six months, based on figures avail
able March 16.
He said recent increases in freight
rates would add $5,330,621, but that
freight traffic probably would de-
crease by Is per cent, although pas
senger traffic was expected to rise 2
per cent.
Scandrett added it was especially
difficult to make an accurate fore
cast at this time and that his
estimates might be considerably of.
The Milwaukee roads president
said he believed railroad consolida-
tions are now underway, but will
not arrive soon enough to meet the
present crisis"
However" he added, Il do feel
it will help solve the railroad prob
lem"
Scandrett expressed the belief that
putting the carriers through the

WILMINGTON, Del, March al
The Pennroad Corp. reported a net

crease Of $117,l37 from 1896.
Henry H. Lee, president, in a letter

income was due primarily to de-
crease OF s32,79o in interest received
from bonds, and a decrease of S245,-
1913 in dividends received from the

Co.
This was partly offset, he said. by
an increase Of $43,950 in dividends

dend-paying stocks. some of which
were acquired in 1897; and reduction

tqulAbrzzlm's End Organs
Are Semi-C Circular Canals

in connection with aviation. Per-
haps because it has been put on
commercial basis, tests for aviation
pilots all include a test Of the or
gans Of equilibrium.
Some Of these tests are very SIM
pie, but most Of them very complex
and curious.
The simple ones are simply on the
old principle Of the merry-go-round
or the old blindfold game of pin-the-
donkey. The aviation candidate is
put into a swivel chair, swung
around in one direction and then
requested to get out Of the chair
and walk. If his canals are normal
he should stagger in a certain di-
rection, depending on which direc-
ton he has been rotating.
If you are asked to close your eyes
and then put your forefnger rap
idly on the end Of your nose, you can
do it perfectly. Your sight is not
necessary to accomplish this feat;
only your sense Of position in space.
But il you are whirled around blind
folded, you can't do it, and the
drunk can't do it. That is one Of
the aviation tests.
The most curious and complex OF
these is the caloric test. If hot water
Is poured into the ear when the head
IL in q certain position, one OF the
semi-circular canals is stimulated
and, depending on which one, the
eyes begin to oscillate back and
forward on certain plane.
The canals are closely connected
with the eyes and with the feeling
of nausea. That is why-sea sickness
results from the rocking Of the boat.

death.
He detailed to the jury how
he got down on his hands and
knees and swept the floor with q
small scrub brush, because there
was no broom in the house.
REASON GIVEN
The reason for this search. he
said, was mere curiosity. A news
paper reporter had come to the
house while he was there and re-
quested permission to look for
papers and pictures. Langdon re-
fused to permit this, he said, but
became curious and decided to
search the place himself.
In the first part Of his testi-
mony, Langdon admitted keeping
a watch on the house, and stated
he did so because there had been
complaints from residents In the
neighborhood.
On one occasion, he said. he
went in the house and questioned
the girl who hold him that she
was Mrs. Reed" and that Yer
non Limerick was her brother.

his name was Meyer Edwards.
I thought he might be tied up
in the liquor business but he said
he was in legitimate business.
I then started talking to the
girl and she made reference to
a lot o. policemen she knew.
LIQUOR MENTIONED
Odd she mention any
names? A.-Yes, six or seven. I
told her that there had been
lots of complaints against the
house from neighbors, and espe-
cially a lady across the street.
She asked me my name and I
told her it was Langdon. She
then asked me if I were the
same cop who had been in the
liquor case and I told her yes,
I was framed into it. I then
told her that I didn't mind a
little liquor on my beat, but I
did object to what I called a
house of prostitution on my
beat. She didn't say anything
to that but she told me that she
rode around in the scout car
with some Of the policemen,
and I said, We'll, I know a
policeman whose scout car you're
not going to ride around in"
Then she said her brother
would take care of her and I
told her that her brother didn't
bother me. Finally she said
she would move as soon as their
rent was UP. I left then. The
radio was still playing. She
said goodbye sort of pleasant
like. I had the habit when I
was policeman of not going
out of a place with my back
turned to the people inside, so
when I turned around she was
sitting up in bed with her hands
