3 It RATE CONTEST 1S RENEWED Commission’s Hearing Re-| sumed at Chicago. SHIPPERS TAKE A HAND Will Present Figures Tending to Show That Raiiroad Valuations Submitted by Carriers Have Been Greatly Ex- aggerated—Officers of St. Paul and Northwestern Roads Questioned on Vital Points. Chicago, Oct. 26.—At the resump- tion of the interstate commerce com- mission rate hearing testimony was heard for an hour and a half, adjournment was taken for the day. the shippers being unprepared to pro- ceed with the presentation of their contentions against proposed rate ad- vances. Attorney John H. Atwood, repre- senting Kansas City shippers, ex: plained to the commissioners that K J. Vann of Omaha, on whom he bad relied to prepare an analysis of the rallway statistics, had been unable to «complete his figures. Mr. Atwood asked that the hearing go over tor a aay. ‘The questions in ¢ross-examination centered largely oo the valuation of the properties of the railroads. Comp- troller Robinson of the Northwestern Tailroad said that on the subsidiary lines of his company the yearly de- preciation in values was Included in the reports to the interstate com- merce commission. In response to questions from At- toroey KFrank Lyou, counsel for the <ommission., Comptroller Raobinson 8aid that in the fiscal year of 1910 the Northwestern road spent $31,000,000, the principal items of expenditure be- ing track elevation snd the building of the new station in Chicago. “About $30,000.000 worth of stock was sold,” said the witness, “to meet the expenses.” To Show Stock lIssues. Mr. Robinson agreed to produce fig- wres showing the aumount ot stock tssued by the Northwestern road for @a period of years and a similar agree- wment was made by William Kllis, com- merce counsel for the Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paul railroad, regard- ing the common and preferred stock issued by that railway. Attorney Thorne said he had no witnesses present, but that he wished to show what he declared to be “the @ross exaggeration of values” by the railroads Mr Kllis was asked by Attorney Thorpe if he would separate the ex- ‘penses of the freight and passenger traffic of the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul road The witness replied the separation of the two accounts would be extremely difficult and would be of little value except to sat- 4sfy “statistical curiosity.” “l bave made varions estimates of the freight and passenger traffic,” said Mr. Ellis, “and | do not think the proportion ot expense will vary large- ty from the commonly accepted for mula of one-third to passenger and two-thirds 'to the freight service.” Attorney Atwood then read Into the record the prices at which the com- mon and preterred stock ot the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St Paul railroad sold from 1900 to 1909 ana made his Plea ror a continuance.

DISASTER GROWS IN MAGNITUDE Immense Damage by Storm and Flood in Italy. DEATH LIST IS HEAVY Estimated That More Than Two Hun. dred Persons Perished and the Sur- vivors Are Isolated by the Condition of the Roads, Which in Places Are Covered With Mud to the Depth of Thirty Feet. Naples, Oct. 26.—As the news slow- Iy filters in from the districts ravaged by Monday’s storm, floods and sub- sidence of the surface of the earth, due to volcanic action, the magnitude of the disaster grows. It is admitted by the authorities that the death list exceeds 200 at Ischia and in the prov- inces of Salerno and Naples, Thirty feet of mud covers many of the roads in the provinces of Naples and Salerno. Soldiers have been started at the work of rescue and relief, but their progress must necessarily be slow be- cause of the blocking of the roads. Here in Naples many houses col- lapsed. This was due to subsidence of the surface of the earth, due to the recent volcanic eruption, and the in- habitants of the city are in a state of panic. A telegram received from the may- or of Casamicciola says that the city has been very badly damaged and that help is urgently needed. It is possible that the loss of life there may be heavy, as there are ru- mors that the extinct volcano, Mount Epomeo, is again active. The town, which was destroyed by the voleano in July, 1883, but rebuilt by govern- ment aid, has been much resorted to on account of its baths and warm alkaline and saline springs. In the earthquake of 1883 1,700 lives were lost. No Foreigners There at Present. Fortunately there were no tourists there, the hotels having been emptied following the cholera scare. An Amer- ican painter, Robert Hale of St. Paul, who returned from there a few days ago, said that only natives remained in the city. The entire slopes of Mount Vesu- vius were swept by cloudbursts and the thousands of tons of lava and ashes accumulated along the crests of the mountain since the last serious eruption were swept down into the adjacent valleys, leaving death and desolation in their wake, Floods are reported at Cetara, Amalfi, Salerno and in other places. The damage is estimated in the millions, although no positive estimate is possible for several days, and the later reports may materially reduce the figures. Captains of vessels that were an- chored in the bay of Naples say there must have been a submarine earth- quake, inasmuch as their craft heaved violently and in several instances dragged their anchor chains. It was about this time that Vesuvius belched mud and stones. This preceded the' cloudburst by less than an hour. Signor Sacchi, minister of public works, and Admiral Leonardi have been directed to make a survey of the stricken district and recommend such aid as may be necessary. Human bodies and the carcasses ot animals have been discovered in the molten stream from Mount Vesuvius. GOES DOWN WITH HIS SHIP Captain of Schooner True to Tradi- tions of the Sea. Perth Amboy, N. J., Oct. 26.—True to the traditions of the sea Captain E. D. Wells of the four-masted schooner Holliswood refused to leave his sink- ing vessel and has probably gone to the bottom with her. News of the captain’s sacrifice was brought to this port by the Norwegian schooner Harald, which: landed the crew of seven of the Holliswood here, “I will stick with her, boys; you save your lives,” was Captain Wells’ last command, and the crew of the Harald gave him a cheer and left him.
