of 138 per cent gain in carload ings for the country at arge, made by the l3 regional shippers advis- ory boards, but was nevertheless greater than that estimated for the carriers in several of the geograph- ical sections.
 Since the current quarter began, 1t has become obvious that the fore casts of the boards were on the con- servative side. The Association of American Railroads reported. that the loading of revenue freight for the week ended October 28 for the whole country was TIT per cent greater, than < in the corresponding week a year ago. This actual in- crease of four per cent more than the estimates has been spread pro portionately among the various re. gions, and the trend has continued similarly during the subsequent weeks of this month. There has likewise been gain from week to week, possibly indicating that freight movements up to the first of the year will even exceed the four per cent increase over the estimates for the entire quarter.
 "War Boom"
 While many factors. including the war boom." are credited with play- ing a role in the increase, the rail. roads themselves have been able to make their service more attractive by the acceleration of freight deliv- cry speed in recent years. On the New Haven system, through the aid of through freight trains operating at high speeds, better feeder" serv- ice to and from main line points through the use of motor trucks and other developments, such as more powerful locomotives, less than car- load freight deliveries between any two points on the system. and other points to the south and west have been rnade possible on an overnight

Substantial Increase in Tonnage Reported By New
 Haven Road, Associate Carriers

Actual movement of freight by the New Haven railroad and its sister carriers of the New England district during the final quarter of 1889 now appears destined to be substantially greater than was anticipated by the New England Regional Shippers Advisory Board a month ago, &C., .cording to carloadings reported dur ing the earlier part of the, current month.
 Advisory Board &
 The shippers advisory board, meeting in September, had predict ed an increase in carioadings for the New England region of 10.5 per cent during the last three months of the year as compared with the actual freight movements in the corre- spending period of 1888. The hoard had set a figure of 107,488 carloads for this years closing months as against actual shipments of 97,273 carloads in October, November and December of last year.
 The estimated increase for New England fell short of the prediction

 The U-boat commander refused first aid to the wounded.
 Discovering that men of German names were among them he admin istered a stern lecture for their conduct towards the Fatherland. Then taking two officers prisoner on the submarine, he abruptly de- parted. The sub later returned safely to Germany, where the sailors re- voted.
 The sea was rough. During the first night, a line between the life boat and the raft parted. Those on the raft were never again seen.

HERE THEY ARE AGAIN
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

When October fades into November
 And falls the last withered leaf And the nights get bit crisper
 And we get lustier appetite for beef When we begin to think ol TUT coats, And tidy up the yards All of sudden.-what do you knowl
 It's once again Christmas cards Better than ever this season,
 Candles, winter scenes and logs, Inspiration in landscapes
 But fewer that feature dogs Look them over carefully, folks,
 Hundreds of various designs Little medium and large ones, And some big as signs. You get them singly or by the box
 The sentiment all depends Who you're going to send them to,
 Relatives, enemies or friends. When October fades into November,
 And Winter comes to rule as said the bard, It's ho! for the holly and the candle bright,

Labor Organizations Plan TO Celebrate
Anticipated Pardon of Tom Mooney

SACRAMENTO. Jan. 8. (UP) -
Labor organizations today planned
celebrations for the anticipated
pardon of Thomas Mooney.
They predicted that the labor
prisoner would be freed within a
week, after Gov Culbert L. Olson,
maugurated yesterday, called a
hearing Saturday of all those who
wished to show why Mooney should
not be freed.
The hearing, Olson has Indicated.
will be a mere formality to allow
any person or organization an op-
portunity to oppose his proposed
granting the pardon. He himself
has said he is convinced of Moon
cYs innocence.
To a delegation of labor leaders
representing the American Fedora
ton of Labor the Congress of IN
duStrial Organizations and the Rail-
way BrotherhoodS, Olson reiterated
this belief.
He said he would act ON the
pardon right after the hearing. 3"
With this attitude on the part OF
the governor it was considered
certainty that Mooney would get
-hiS freedom. There was no op-
position in sight to date to contest
the release at the hearing.
