These figures show that after we abolished the 250.006 saloons of the nations, the death rate dropped from 68 per cent, the high point, to 54 per cent. That means that the lives of liquordrinking. insured people (the socalled respectable drinkers) were lengthened as a result of the abolition of the saloon. "Forty-three life insurance companies made an investigation from the actual standpoint of the effect of alcoholic beverages as determined by a scientific investigation of two million insured lives. Os these actuaries, Arthur Hunter, chairman of the central bureau, showed in his report that in 1914 among men engaged as saloon keepers, bartenders and hotel proprietors and the like, there were 17 deaths to the thousand, while among total abstainers there was a mortality of only 10 to the thousand’. "He also stated that the ‘statistics gathered from these two million lives showed that among th" men whose habits were considered satisfactory but were admitted to lie alcoholic users in moderate amounts the death rate was 15 to the thousand, where the death rate would have been only 10 had alcoholic, liquors not been used.” * Lentz read a statement from Right Rev. James E. Cassidy, 1 Catholic bishop of Fall River, Mass., to the effect that "universal prohibition would save more lives than general disarmament". In answer to questions, Ix-ntz pointed out iiis figures covered but 77 of the 355 life insurance companies of the country and that eight large companies, including the Metropolitan, were left out. Rep. Hadley, Repn., Wash., filed i with the committee a statement of Ls. J. Donovan, Bellingham.

VAN SWERINGEN COMPANY GROWS I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) But the “start" was gained in I real estate. The Van Swerlngens acquired a large interest in the famed Shaker Heights development and that project brought them their first million dollars. Their first railroad was the New York, Chicago and St. Louis, an •ambitious name for a line that had never rear-lied two of its objectives. It began at Chicago and ended at Buffalo, getting nowhere near New York or St. Louis. Its sobriquet, “The Nickel Plate" was based on a reputed remark of William Vanderbilt upon acquiring the road for the New York Central that if the “thing had been nickel-plated" it couldn't have cost him more than it did. Railroad circles -were surprised when John J. Bernet, who had been a vice-president of the New York Central, renounced his chances of the presidency of that line and agreed to head the "Nickel Plate." Soon the nickel became more golden. Bernet in four years raised the operating revenue from $23,969 to $44,867 a . mile. | Then, rapidly, the Van Swerinignes acquired the Toledo, St. Louis and Western and the Lake Erie and Western. Scarcely were these ideals completed than the brothers i began to look with envious eyes upon other roads. The present mileage of the railroads controlled by tlie Van Swerlngens follows:. Nickel Plate 1,690 miles Wheeling & Lake Erie 511 miles Chesapeake & Ohio . 2,735 miles Pere Marquette ... 2.244 miles Erie 2.316 miles Missouri Pacific 7.461 miles Chicago and Eastern Illityiis . 945 miles Not all are owned directly. Some, for instance, are owned through the Alleghany corporation. But to all intents and purposes I the Van Sweringens dominate a

vast system extending from New 1 York to Salt Lake City, from Buffalo to Brownsville, from Old; Point Comfort to Omaha, from Chicago to New Orleans, from Detroit to El Paso. The Missouri Pacific, which was acquired quietly, comprises such lines as the International Northern and Texas and Pacific. It shares ; j with the Western Pacific owner- i ship in the Denver and Rio Grande . Western. The latter line ends at Salt laike, where connection is made with the Weatern Pacific to the Pacific coast. The Western Pacific is known to be friendly to the Van Swerlngens J
