Birthday Celebration, Says System a Calamity. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 24—Tracing railroad history In America at a ban- quet last night celebrating the hun- dredth anniversary of the Delaware and Hudson Company, L. F. Loree, president of the road, asserted that regulatory interference with private operation had reached a point where “railroading is no longer a business; it has becomé a calamity.” On the center-piece of the table at which Mr. Loree spoke was humming a operated model of the first locomo- {tive to ride the ralls in America, the Stourbridge Lion, so named because its seven and one-half tons of weight ripped up the rails and played havoc {with the road-bed and flimsy lra('k[ so carefully laid for its perform- ance. Around the table were directors (!f_ the Delawure and Hudson, most of them with names famous in railroad history, veteran employees of the road, noted executives of other lines and public officials. Chauncey M. Depew, eighty-ninth birthday, headed the d | rectors. Speakers included J. Alexander, president of the National Bank of Commerce, and H. W. Dick- !inson, of the sclence museum, Lon- don, and secretary of th: Newcomen { Society. Mr. Loree told of how the first road was built between Homesdale and Carbondale, Pa.. two miles of it iron strips on wooden ties; and of how the little steam engine from England wrecked it But, sald Mr. Loree. the policy of | encou nent the government first adopted the form of land grants, tax immunities and other concessions, has become a_policy of obstruction through the deterforating influence of federal commissions empowered to regulate. “The degeneracy of such a system is inevitable.” he said. “Tt sets up| a buyers' tribunal, controlled by no standards of law or equity, certain { to become the advocate of those sel- | fishly_interested in depressing r: Regulation Imposaible. “All such regulation is inevitably ineffective to satisfy the hopes and prejudices of those by whom it is sus- i tulned. It can not succeed, in this sense, because these prejudices and the hopes and the motivation of short-sighted self-interest, when ot subject to the check of responsi- ility for financial results, are with- out limit. In this way, the failures of regulation became, instead of recognized evidences of error leading . steps towards more drastic regulation. The end of a progres is not difficult to forsee; in the cast of rallway regulation, it Is plainly within the range of vision and takes | the form of the disaster of govern- i ment ownership and operation. This calamity, if it comes, will be the price paid for the incapacity of lead- ership that is apparently unable to find any escape from the grotesque and monstrous futllity of adding every vear to the super-structure of regulation. “But it is not alone the railroads that are being destroyed: the very vitals are being torn from the body of our liberties, while the temptation | held out to the producer to loot the | savings of those who have Investel | in railroads is destroying the founda- tions of justice and morals upon which alone an orderly government can Dbe maintained.” i | | | His Sad Beginning.

NEW YORK, April 24—Formal plea that one-half of the estate which Frank J. Gould inherited from his father be taken from him, as well as the income that has accrued on that portion of it since 1910, was made by George J. Gould, brother and co-heir of Frank, whose lawyers added another entanglement to the case al- ready famous for its applications. George J. Gould last was reported as improving from a critical iliness at Mentone, France. i “Exceeding $10,000,000 without in- terest” already, and a continually in- asing amount is the sum which corge J.
