COST REDUCTION MUST NOT HURT RAIL TRAFFIC

Traffic Director Tells Plan to Keep Up Work for the Shipper. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. D. C. May 16. Plana for curtailing the expense of railroad traffic organizations without cutting off sources of information to shippers concerning rates and routings were outlined today by Edward Chambers, traffic director of the railroad administration, in instructions to the three regional directors. Mr. Chambers suggests that sufficient Information can be furnished through ihe joint tariff bureaus maintained by railroads in the principal commercial centers, including New York. Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, and San Francisco, with Bubbureaus In the more Important shipping regions. So-called "passing reports," showing the progress of shipments, should be greatly reduced and developed into a a mail service for nonperishable traffic, said the Instructions. Telegraphic reports must be continued on the location of live stock and perishable traffic in transit, although the number of messages can be cut down. Loss In Railway Earnings. Railroads In the first three months this year earned only $71,705,000, as

compared with $179,431,000 in the same period last year, making a loss to the government uncle the system of common operation of about $109,000,000. This report today br the interstate commerce commission covers all except five of the 196 railroads in the country. The net Income In March was $63,033,000, or $7,000,000 less than in Marcc, 1917. This difference, much less than in the preceding months, Indicates that conditions are becoming better for government operation, and returns from later months may go far toward making up the loss. Operating revenues in March were $365,000,000 and operating expenses $282,000,000, making ne revenue a little over $S2,000,000. From this was deducted taxes of $15,000,000 and rents for equipment and joint facilities, leaving the net income, the item on which government compensation is based, $03,000,000. Eastern Lines Fall Off. Eastern railroads earned $16,870,000, as compared with $23,000,000 in March last year; western roads, $30,000,000, as compared with $31,000,000 in March last year, and southern road3 reported $16,000,000, about $1,000,000 more than in March last year. For the three months period the falling off in net Income was caused mainly by the record of eastern roads, which reported a deficit of $15,924,000, as compared with earnings of $51,962,000 last.year. Western carriers earned $56,000,000 as compared with $84,000,. 000 last year, and southern roads $31.000,000, as compared with $43,000,000.

John J. Harrington, Jr., director of the Knights of Columbus war camp fund drive, reports the following: Grand total, $8,827.55. Of this amount Richmond subscribed $7,392; farmers adjacent " to Richmond sobscribed $869.75; Cambridge City subscribed $444.50; Knightstown subscribed $12150. Harrington statjs that he is hopeful that the fund will reach ' $9,000. He has returned from the state convention of the Knights of Columbus which was held at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, and the reports at the convention show that all of Indiana's quotas were over-subscribed and with the full quotas where war chests exist, added to the former collection taken up, will amount to $600,000. The budget which would have expended $16,000,000 to carry on the work until July, 1919, has been raised and now the budget will expend $33,000,000. Campaign Director Callahan reports, however, that even with the enormous expenditure of money demanded by the increased budget necessitated by the enormity of the Knights of Columbus work overseas, that Indiana will have subscribed sufficient so that we will not be called upon for additional contributions within this time to meet this larger sum of money.

Bill to be Presented Legislature to End Selling of i'Blue Sky" Stock

Indianapolis; May 16. "Blessed Illinois; Unlucky Indiana," was the heading of an editorial which recently appeared in one of the leading financial journals of the country. That Is just the feeling that has animated the Better Business bureau of the Indianapolis Advertisers club and the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, which has headquarters in this city, in strongly advocating the passage, at the next session of the Indiana legislature, of a "blue sky" law. Illinois has such a ,law, which has just begun to operate, with the result that Indiana, one of the few states of this general section of the country that does not have such legislation, is becoming the mecca for sellers of "blue sky" stocks who cannot get licenses in Illinois. A number of promoters who are selling stocks which cannot be approved by the Illinois "blue sky" department pre opening offices in northern Indiana cities, and some of them are moving to other cities in the state. The northern cities are especially attractive to them because their homes are in Chicago, and they can

JANESVILLE, Wis., May 16 Enraged citizens of Janesville and surrounding towns last night stripped W. G, Heller, a wealthy bachelor, to the waist, painted a German war cross on his chest, smeared his back with yellow, and then dumped the remaining contents of the pail of yellow paint on his head because he declined to contribute to the "Your Share Is Fair" fund being raised for the Rock

county war chest. The "painting party" was said to be composed of some of the most prominent men in Evansville, Beloit, Janesville, and other towns in the county. The party used six cars in motoring into the country with their victim, where the paint was applied. Heller, before his retirement, held important connections in banking and manufacturing circles in Janesville.
