RAILROAD TAXES SHOW BIG GAIN FORLAST YEAR Increase of 10 Per Cent Is Reported by Head Of Burlington, — CHICAGO, March 2.—Taxes charg. ed the nation’s rallroads for 1922 in. creased 10% per cent. over 1921 and amounted to $204,885,158, the largest sum ever pala by the carriers, Hale Molden, chairman of the Woatern railways committee of pabiic relations ang coped of the Chicago, Burling. ‘on an uincy rai hase tcdes 'Y railroad, announced Mr. Holden asserted that 1992 taxes were 94 per cent. greater than those of 1916, and Increase of 178% per cent. over the amount pald in 1912 and ex. ceeded cash dividends paid by the car. riers in any year except 1917. The 1922 taxes, he said, amounted to 26 per cent. of the rallroad’s net earn: ings as compared with 13 per cent. in 1917, Although the raflroads reduced rates and cut expenses by efficient operation, notwithstanding the shop crafts strike, Mr. Holden sald, the benefits “that might have been deriv- ed from these changes both by the railways and the public were seriously reduced by the fact that taxes were largely increased.” Western railways, according to Mr. Holden, have been affected even more during the last ten years by increases in taxes than the railways of the count: S a whole. The announce- ment in 1912 thelr total taxes were than $45,000,000. In 1922 they were almost $134,500,000. Mr. Holden quoted what he termes remarks made in the senate by Sena- W. E. Borah of Idaho as follows: ‘It will be very difficult to reduce freight rates if we continue in this count y to increase taxes upon the is as we have in the last four Senator Borah said,” Mr. Hold: en's statement read, “the taxes come back upen the producer, and the ship- per.” WASHINGTON, March 2—Mem- bers of the interstate commerce com- ion made exhaustive queries today he plans for far flung railroad solidations in the west proposed Hale Holden, president of the urlington and Quincy, witness stand before the nm Mr. Holden defended at nt the proposal which he for combining practically made all the western railroads into four great units, each of which would} rate more than 80,000 miles of line. amissioner Hall questfoned th xbility of Mr. Ho'den’s proje: litting ownership of the Denve' Grande Western, and Denyer | @ between two of the| built around the Santa | outhern Pacific systems, = | Ray Hughes H eads hl and INSURANCE EXAMINER CLUE FOUNDIN BRONX MURDER NEW YORK, March 2.—-Events Were moving quickly today in the in-| vestigation of the slaying of Fred: } erlek Schneider, wealthy Bronx con tractor.

EXPERT FENCERS SHOW SKILL IN BIG PHOTOPLAY COMING 10 THE RIALTO Shakespeare's line in Romeo and Jullet—‘ He jests at scars that ne'er felt a wound,” often prompts inex- perlenced persons to sneer at motion! Picture sword play. But the scars that expert swordsmen sustained dur- ing tho filming of sword duel scenes in Cosmopolitan's big, spectacular Production of “When Knighthood ‘Was in Flower." « Paramount picture starring Marion Davies, which comes to the Rialto Theater Sunday, amply Prove that even these make belicve duels often are not Woodless. During the filming of these scenes a surgeon was kept in constant attendance at the Cosmopolitan studio and split thumbs and lacerated hands were treated nearly every day. Only the fact that most of tho swordsmen were | experts. prevented the casualties in the mecies from being serious. James Murray, fencing master at! the New York Atheltic club, was en- gaged to supervise these scenes in “When Knighthoua Was in Flower.” Mr. Murray declares that in his thir- ty years’ experience as a swordsman in Europe and this country he never saw such strenuous assaults at arms. as Two Spaniards Read Through Metals, Report LONDON, March 2.—Two sons of a Spanish nobleman are gifted with “X-ray eyes" according to an article in the Madrid Imparcial, quoted by the Dally Mail.
