REPORT MADE ON
REPRODUCTION OF
U. S. RAILROADS
WASHINGTON, May 27. —Prelimi-
nary reports of the interstate com
merce commission on the cost of re
producing the country’s railroads
were introduced before the commis
sion today by the carriers as sus
taining their property investment ac
count figures on which they base
their request for freight advances ag
gregating $1,017,000,000, so as to
yield the 6 per cent return allowed
under the transportation act.
Thomas W. Hulme, of Philadelphia,
vice chairman of the carriers’ valua
tion committee, told the commission
that government engineering reports
for fifty systems with a mileage of
51,853, showed the cost of reproduc
tion 1914, prices, including the value
of land, to be $3,203,782,543, as com
pared with a property investment ac
count of $3,158,275,156, and carried
on the books of the companies.
When inventories are completed
for all the roads of the country, Mr.
Hulme declared, they would show
a reproduction cost on the 1914 prices
in excess of the carriers’ own.; in
vestment statement, and that on the
basis of present prices the total
would be far in excess of this. Costs
now, he said, are more than 100 per
cent above those prevailing in 1914.
After Thomas W. Hulme, vice
chairman of the president’s confer
ence committee oh valuation, con
cludes testimony for the eastern
group today, accounting and traffic
experts for the southern territory
will be heard.
With proper equipment the rail
roads of the country can be oper
ated as successfully in the future
under private management as they
were before federal control. Charles
H. .Markham, president of the Illi
nois Central railroad, declared Wed
nesday in opening the case of the
southern railroads for higher rates
Expenditures of at least $600,000';-
000 for new equipment for the na
tion’s transportation system was
advocated by Mr. Markham, who as
serted that "nothing was of greater
importance • than the immediate
placing of orders for cars and en
gines; Railroad history, he said,
shows continued progress in ef
ficiency, and, accordingly, the roads
s ould operate as successfully in
the future as in the past if given
the tools in the shape of equipment
to work with.
For the southern railroads Mr.
Markham asked an increase in
freight rates to enable the carriers
to earn $134,049,091 annually, which,
he claimed, would represent a re
turn of 6 per cent on the aggregate
value of those carriers, which he
estimated at $2,267,484,847.
The hearing on the demands of
the railroads of the country for in
creased rates to give an added in
come of a billion dollars a ye&r will
he suspended for a week at the con
clusion of the carriers’ testimony.
Chairman Clark announced today
that the commission would recess
for that length of time to permit
the shippers to study the evidence
presented and prepare for cross-ex
amination
Why the Buffalo Wallow
The water buffalo of China, writes
C. O. Levine, associate professor of
animal husbandry, Canton Christian
college, in the Journal of Heredity
(Washington) has few sweat glands
in its skin, and for this reason can
not endure hard work in the sun for
a long period, unless its body is wet
with water. This accounts for the
desire of the buffalo to wallow in
mud or water. The animals are eas
ily overcome by heat if worked hard
in the sun, and sometimes they go
crazy and become very dangerous.

Daughter Testifies
Against Her Father;
Case Depends on Story
HACKENSACK, N. J—ls Mary
Locascio, ten, telling the truth? That
is the chief element in the trial of
her father, Frank Locascio, and his
brother, Salvatore, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Anna Locascio. wife
of Frank. The trial was begun at
Hackensack before Supreme Court
Justice C. W. Parker and a jury.
Mrs. Locascio disappeared from her
home at 62 Paulison avenue July 10,
1918, after a quarrel. Acting Prose
cutor Thomas J. Huckin, in opening
the case, said he expected to show
that the young woman was murdered
by her husband and the body mys
teriously disposed ( of. The chief wit
ness for the state is Mary Locascio,
ten, a daughter of the accused man.
She testified her father and mother,
quarreled.
“Mamma put us to bed and she
went to bed, too,” said Mary. “About
midnight we heard awful screams
from my mamma and I went to the
door of mamma’s bedroom to see
what was the matter. I saw papa
with both hands and arms around
mamma’s neck. Soon mamm» stop
ped screaming and papa laid her on
the bed and straightened opt her
feet and put the bedclothes over her.
Mamma’s face was toward the wall.
The next morning, when I went to
the bedroom, mamma lay in the same
place and hadn’t moved.”
‘*Why didn’t you speak to your
mamma?” asked Mr. Huckin.
“I was afraid of disturbing her,”
was the answer.
But under cross-examination, Mary
admitted she hadn’t seen her mother
the following morning.
When Mary was finally excused,
she broke down and cried pitifully
and was led out of the courtroom by
the matron. The defense contends
Mrs. Locascio was fond of cabaret
shows and dances and deserted her
husband.
Mrs. Grace Hupiiston, the woman
lawyer vzho figured conspicuolsly in
the finding of Ruth Kruger’s body in
New York, will be the chief witness
fox the state tomorrow..
Boy Strangles to Death on
Rubber From Toy Balloon
Making tiny “eggs”- by sucking a
toy balloon, which had burst, proved
fatal to James Stanley Ferry, 12
years old, son of John C. Ferry, an
employe of the American Tobacco
company, living at 1608 Columbia
street, Louisville, Ky.
Strangulation, caused by lodgment
of a particle of rubber in the child’s
-throat, caused his death shortly
afterward.
With a- younger companion, the
boy had gone to a grocery at Fif
teenth and Bank streets, where he
purchased a toy baljoon. Shortly* af
ter he had left the grocery the bal
loon burst. He then sucked the rub
ber to make smaller balloons.
Suddenly he grasped his throat
and started running for home, sev
eral blocks distant. When almost at
his front gate, he fell to the side
walk in convulsions.
Pedestrians who gathered around
were unable to render assistance.
Mr. Ferry was returning from a
meat market when Jie saw the crowd,
i One of the bystanders hailed him.
He carried the boy home. Drs. Phil
ip Nevitt and D.' H. Borgman were
summoned. The child was dead be
fore they arrived.
Physicians said that this is the
first fatality of the kind in Louis
ville.
Deputy Coroner Singer pronounced
death due to strangulation.
Besides the boy’s parents a
brother, Claude, and a sister, Mar
guerite, survive.

Mrs. Morosco Sues
Miss Paley for ‘Gifts,’
Autos, Jewels and Furs
A novel suit in which Mrs. Annie
T. Morosco seeks to recover from
Miss Selma Paley more than $250,000
in cash, gifts and property which she
alleges her husband gave to her, was
filed in the county clerk's office, New
York, recently.
Miss Paley said the papers had not
been served on her and she had heard
nothing about them. When told the
amounts mentioned by Mrs. Morosco
and; her attorneys, she laughingly
said, “Judging by those figures, I
must be a rich woman, without re
alizing it.” She declined to comment
upon the allegations concerning her
contained in this and suits brought
by Mrs. Morosco against her hus
band.
In her suit Mrs. Morosco alleges
her husband converted and turned
over to Miss Paley large amounts
of receipts and profits from the play
“Peg O’ My Heart,” which she claims
belonged to her as sole owner of
the performing rights.
September 1, 1918, she alleges, her
husband' fitted out an apartment at
No. 44 West Seventy-seventh street
for Miss Paley and bought and fur
nished a bungalow at Long Beach for
her, In addition to giving her motor
cars, jewelry, furs and other gifts.
Mrs. Morosco asks that the money
and properties described as now in
Miss Paley’s possession be impressed
with a trust fund in her favor.
In another new suit filed against
her husband, Mrs. Morosco sues to
recover sixty-one and a half shares
of capital stock of the Famous Play
ers Lasky corporation or their
equivalent, $7,011, which, she alleges,
belong to her and her husband has
refused to deliver. •
Monument That Swings
Gently swaying to and fro, a huge
granite monument has been discov
ered on Green mountain, several
miles north of Canon City, Colo. It
is believed to be the only “swinging
monument” in the world.
The shaft is more than 100 feet
high, and in the course of many
years lias become free from all sur
rounding earth formation except at
the base, which is about twelve feet
wide. In the center the granite col
umn is about fifty feet in thickness
and tapers off to a width at the
summit practically the same as at
the base.
The entire shaft moves probably
from two to three feet at the apex,
and the swing is constant under the
pressure of light winds. The base
of the shaft rests in a small hollow
about three feet in depth, and the
contiguous granite formation has
been entirely disconnected.

Schroeder Awarded
Altitude Record for
33,000-Foot Climb
The world’s altitude record has
been officially awarded to Major R.
Vv*. Sqhroeder by the bureau of stand
ards at Washington. The true alti
tude reached by Major Schroeder at
Dayton, 0., on February 27 last, is
given as 33,000 feet, after all his
instruments were carefully verified
and corrected.
The announcement clears up def
initely the controversy that has rent
aeronautical circles ever since the
United States army air service an
nounced that Major Schroeder had
reached an altitude of 36,020 feet in
the flight that ended in a five-mile
fall out of the skies Before Cie avia
tor recovereu control of his air
plane.
The announcement of the bureau
of standards shows that three im
portant world altitude records are
held by American aviators and Amer
ican airplanes. The other two were
made by Roland Rohlofs In a Cur
tiss Wasp triplane, first for reaching
a true altitude of 32,450 feet without
the aid of engine attachments, and
second for climbing to an altitude
of 19,200 feet in ten minutes.
An interesting feature 6f the bu
reau of standards’ announcement is
that by applying the rules governing
altitude flying laid down by the Fed
eration Aeronautique Internationale
in 1919, Major Schroeder actually
reached an altitude of 38,180 feet.
Major Schroeder used a supercharger
to assist his 400-horse power Lib
erty engine to maintain its full ef
ficiency at extreme altitude.
Owing to some discrepancies found
in the instruments carried by Major
Schroeder, the Aero Club of Amer
ica, as representative of the Federa
tion Aeronautique Internationale, de
clined to accept the figures until the
bureau of standards had passed upon
them.
The Curtis Wasp triplane added
another world’s record to its list of
achievements recently in a test by
the United States navy at Rockaway
naval air station. The triplane wap
equipped with pontoons in place of
landing carriage and was flown
over a measured w’ater course by
Mr. Rohlfs.
The Wasp made an average speed
of 138 miles an hour, breaking all
former records for seaplanes. The
flight was under official observation
by the United States navy. The
Wasp’s best official record for speed
as a landing machine is 162 miles an
hour. -

Before the agent was through with

“I am fully aware of that,” an

“but I ask again, who is the author?"
Again the salesman explained that
he was offering the Bible. Again
Marshall demanded the name of the

forms again and again.
Finally the man of the books
gathered up his samples, retreated

WOOD LEADING
G.O.P. FIELD FOR
THE-NOMINATION
CHICAGO, May 27. —Candidates
for the Repfiblican nomination for
the presidency today opened their
final drive to capture the 493 votes
that spell victory in the convention
which opens here one week from
Tuesday.
The last of the 954 delegates who
will sit in the convention were se
lected yesterday, when Vermont Re
publicans met and chose eight un
instructed delegates. *
Major General Leonard Wood, re
turns show, will enter the conven
tion with more instructed voftes than
any other candidate, but his total ot
153 is less than one-third of the.
number necessary to win the nomi
nation.
The division of strength among
the large, field of “favorite sons’’
practically precludes any possibility
of a nomination on the first ballot.
Even the most optimistic campaign
managers here are not claiming vic
tory before the third ballot, and the
more conservative party leaders pre
dict the break will not come before
the fifth or sixth at the earliest.
One big factor which may upset
campaign managers’ predictions Is
yet to be dealt with. One hundred
and forty-five contests have been or
will be filed, more than one-seventh
of all the seats in the convention
being at stake, and the national com
mittee which meets here Monday
to decide these contests and prepare
the temporary roll may materially
alter the prospects of several candi
dates.
The principal contests are between
supports of Major General Wood and
Governor Frank O. Lowden. Senator
Johnson and other candidates are not
directly interested in these contests
but rntiy raise questions regarding
primary contests in South Dakota,
New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan, Ne
braska and other places.
Claims of Candidates
In addition to the 14 5 contests,
sixty-four surplus delegates, with
fractional votes, have been chosen
from ten states, and the Republican
national committee’s rules provide
that their rights to seats shall also
be contested. The convention call
stated that \no over-size delegates
should be seated and no seats have
been provided for these sixty-four.
Senator Hiram Johnson and Sen
ator Howard Sutherland, of West Vir
ginia, were, the principal gainers in
primaries and conventions held in
four states during the past week.
Senator Johnson, returns indicate,
will get nine of Oregon’s ten'votes
and Senator Sutherland sixteen from
West Virginia. Texas Republicans
split into two factions, each of which
elected an uninstructed delegation
with 23 votes. '
Figures compiled here show the
following division of the vote:
Major General Wood 153; Senator
Hiram Johnson 109; Governor Low
den 74; favorite sons and uninstruct
ed 648.
In the favorite son list, Senator
Warren Harding has 39 votes from
Ohio; Senator Sutherland 16 from
West Virginia; Senator Miles Poin
dexter is expected to receive Wash
ington’s 14. and Judge Pritchard, of
North Carolina, is expected to. get
17 of his state’s 22 votes.
Campaign managers here of the
three leading candidates all claim
victory in statements issued last
night. The Wood and Johnson camps
make definite predictions as to their
first ballot vote, the supporters of
the general claiming 385 votes, and
those of the senator 236. • The Low
den forces, while professing their
confidence, are not prepared to quote
exact figures.
“Leonard Wood,” says a statement
from his headquarters, “has so in
creased his votes in the last week
that a first ballot prediction of 385
votes was made at Wood head
quarters here. This is more than
the combined instructed vote of all
other candidates. On the first ballot
he will be a big leader and his total
will indrease steadily until nomina
tion is assured.”
Hall to Be Ready
“The Johnson headquarters, which
are now in charge of Hiram John
son, Jr., the senator’s son, annour--
ed with equal positiveness:
“Senator Hiram Johnson already
has 236 pledged delegates who will
vote for him on the first ballot and
will stick with him to the last ditch.
His vote on the first ballot will be
equal, if not greater, than that of
any other candidate and by the fifth
or sixth ballot, he will be nominat
ed.”
“We are going to win,” said the
statement from the Lowden camp.
“We have had no time to sum up,
and figures therefore are unavail
able, but we are going to win, and
the situation looks even better than
it did last week.”
f W’ork on the convention hall is
progressing rapidly, and Charles .R..
Hall, superintendent t>f the Coliseum,
has assured the convention copimit
tee that the more than 13,000 seats
will be in place 24 hours before the
convention is called to order hy
Chairman Will Hays of the national
committee.
Extra balconies are being erected
to provide nearly 1,000 more seats
than were available at any previous
convention.
The speaker’s platform and seats
for 2,000 distinguished visitors have
already been erected. In the Coli
seum annex, offices of the conven
tion committees and offices and the
room of €he national committee
where the contests will, be heard next
week, have been in readiness for
some time.
National commlttemen began ar
riving early this week, and a ma
jority of the fifty-three members arc
expected, to be on hand by Monday.
Chariman Hays will arrive Sunday
Women Are Forging Ahead
At the now justly famous Jackson
day dinner a number of good stories
were told and the women are enjoy
ing one told by Senator Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, apropos of the growing
influence of women. Referring to the
habit of American men of calling
their wives “the better half,” he re
peated a story told him by the Prince
of Wales during his recent visit here.
Visiting a dugout occupied by
American doughboys the prince was
surprised to find there, side by side,
large pictures of his father and
mother clipped from some illustrated
magazine. He stepped closer to note
the inscription. Under one was
“King George, the Fifth,” under the
other, “The Other Four-Fifths!”
Girl Returns Home After Seeing
A Bit of Life on Father’s Money
A roguish smile on her face, Hen
rietta Bulte, the x fifteen-year-old
schoolgirl who went on a pilgrimage
across the continent instead of going
to the Harlem Savings bank with
her father’s $260, is home again. She
returned a little shy and a little
repentant, but confident that if let
alone she would have become just
as great a motion picture actress as
any of them.
The story of her country-wide
jaunt, her experiences as a waitress
and her various vicissitudes reads
like “The Handicaps of Henrietta.”
even though her pluck and her $260
didn’t land her a picture job.
Henrietta had $lB of the $260 when
she returned home. She came in the
custody of Policewoman Mary E.
Hamilton. She met her father in the
office of Acting Captain John H. Ay
ers, in charge of the missing persons
bureau, at police headquarters. It
was the first time she had seen him
since her sudden disappearance April
12, and she promised him that she’d
never, never leave home again. But
just the same, she has her ambitions,
so far as the celluloid films are con
cerned. /
The scenario of “The Handicaps of
Henrietta,” tracing her movements
from the time she left New York
until her arrival on the Pacific coast,
might read like this:
Leaves Nbw York with the $260.
Goes io Philadelphia. Remains four
days and finds it pretty dull. On to
Chicago, stopping at the Young Wom
en’s Christian association. Gets job
as a waitress April 30. Makes good.

TO PALE PEOPLE—
YOUR BLOOD MAY BE
STARVING FOR IRON
If Your Blood Needs Iron, It Needs ZIRON, the New
V
Compound of Iron, Which Acts as a Strength
ening Tonic, Enriching the Blood and
Building Up the System.
/ »
When your blood lacks the proper proportion of red corpuscles to
give your complexion the “rosy* hue of health” and your complexion is
pale, “pasty-looking,” perhaps even greenish-tinged, you are probably of an
anemic or chlorotic nature, and your blood needs Ziron to help bring
back the rich, red flush of health.
Ziron, the new compound of iron, the hypophosphites of lime and
soda, and other tonic, strengthening ingredients, has been found of great
value in conditions of simple anemia, chlorosis, debility, nervousness,
Tack of ambition, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, etc. It is a valuable re
constructive tonic, in cases of weakness, and "helps build up the consti
tution after severe illness.
Mrs. Mae Belle Perkins, of Adairsville, Ga., writes:. s“About two
months ago I got to feeling badly. My back hurt me badly, and my legs
and arms hurt, too, and 1 didn’t have any appetite at all to eat. About
two weeks ago I commenced taking Ziron, according to directions on
the, bottleßy the time 1 had taken the medicine for a week. I
could see it was doing me good. I had been weak and nervous, and it
made me feel stronger, and I’m not a bit nervous now. My back is all
right, and my arms and legs do not ache. And my appetite is good again.
Before I started using Ziron 1 wouldn’t rest at night, I was so tired
feeling and felt worn out. I have used nearly the whole bottle and now
I sleep fine every night. It .sure is a fine medicine, and I am glad 1
tried it.”
Ziron contains no habit-forming drugs, acts gently, has no bad after
effects, is good for men, women and children. It is a medicine of gen
uine merit. Try it.
SPECIAL OFFER: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggists
and give it a fair trial, according to directions On the label. If, after
using up one bottle, you find it has not benefited you, take it back to
the druggist and he will refund what you’paid him for it. We repay
him, so there is no reason Why he should not repay you. This offer
only applies to the first trial bottle.—(Advt.)
