At THE Counsel for Estates of Two Women Will Guard Their Letters and Diaries. By the Associated Press. LAGUNA BEACH, Calif, April 29.— Moresby White, attorney for the estates of Adele Ritchle, former stage star, and Mrs. Doris Murray Palmer, found shot to death last Thursday here, announced today that he would refuse official de-, mands for letters and diaries of the two women wanted in connection with a re- newed investigation into their deaths. “These letters are part of the estates of the two women,” White said, 88 such have no part in any inquiry. The case has been closed, I believe, by the verdict of the coroner's jury of mu der and suicide. I see no cause for fur- ther investigation.” The investigation was reopened by Orange County authorities after White announced receipt of a letter written to him by Miss Ritchle which, he sald, indicated a “suicide pact.” Sheriff Sam Jernigan, however, sald he did not be- leve that Mrs. Palmer had agreed to a double suicide, as evidence found at the scene of the tragedy indicated that she was attempting to escape when she was shot in the back by the former actress. FPriends of the women voiced the be- Hef that the murder and suicide theory told the entire story of the killing. They believe that Miss Ritchie, who was the divorced wife of Guy Bates Post, noted actor, shot her friend in a jealous rage and then turned the gun on herself.

Other forms of transportation are entering the field, but the railroads will, for a long time to come, maintain their pre-eminent position in’ that particular ine F I were asked today by any young man who is about to finish his preliminary education and embark Not only is the railroad industry the second in importance of the pursuits of the country, but it is a fact that no single form of business embraces, within itself, so many different phases of ac- tivity as a railroad. Every rallroad or- ganization must be complete within itself, and the great departments are those of finance, engineering, operating, traffic and law. Departments Interdependent. ‘While each of these great departments | is independent, and you need special qualifications and training for work in | the different divisions, all of them are interdependent, so that a knowledge of the activities of one implies some | knowledge of each of the others. For instance, if it should be necessary for the financial department to obtain money for new equipment that depart- ment must know, from the operating department, the reasons for it; must know from the traffic department what business is expected, in order to make 1t necessary that the business should be had; from the engineering department, whether the character of the equipment sought is such as would be suitable for use upon the tracks and road bed; from the mechanical department, the design, weight and such matters, and from the law department, the steps which must be taken in order to go before the proper authorities to secure permission for raising the money. And each of these great departments has its subdivisions. The financial de- partment covers not only the larger matters involving the meeting of in- terest payment, payments of dividends, the retirement of indebtedness, but it includes the taking care of the receipts nd the expenditure for supplies, wages and all the other avenues through which money is expended. ‘The engineering department cares for the tracks, the roadbed and the struc- tures, and requires the highest engi- neering skill obtainable. Mechanical Department. ‘The mechanical department keeps in order the rolling stock, designs new cars and locomotives, operates the railroad shops, in which cars and locomotives are repaired and sometimes built, and must keep up in every particular with the highest state of the rapidly ad- vancing art. ‘The operating department is respon. sible for the safe and expeditious oper Many thousand feet have brought in from the street dirt and germs and left them in your Floor Coverings Call Mr. Pyle for clean- ing and storing rugs— Nat. 3257-3291-2036 Sanitary Carpet & ‘ Rug Cleaning Co.

The traffic department is the one which obtains the business, for a rall- road’s product is transportation, and it is the function of the traffic department to sell that transportation and not only to retain satisfled customers, but to add new ones, ‘The accounting department is the re- pository of information concerning all activities of the company. It keeps the ks, sees that the tariffs are observed, checks all payments against authorities, classifies the receipts and expenditures, 80 that the proper distributions may be made of the net income; works up all the statistics, prepares reports to the stockholders and governmental authori- ties, so that the affairs of the company may be properly presented to all inter- ested. The law department cares for those affairs of the company which demand legal attention, and the questions of law which arise in’ the conduct and the op- eration of a railroad company are of the most varied character.

I have described briefly the organi- zation of a railroad company to show that no matter what your bent of mind may be you can have no practical busi- ness end in view that cannot be ob- tained by service with a rallroad com- pany. ‘The financial rewards at first are not great, but the ladder is there to be climbed, and can be climbed, rung by rung, through apility, ambition and per- severence, and the rewards are greater as you advance higher.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 20.—Mrs, Jessie E.

J., school teacher. Miss Kimball gave the money to Dr. Viginis early last year to invest in sanitarium he ,was talking of building. He spent the money, he said, on clothes for himself and his wife, an automobile for her and in equipping his office on Park avenue. She counselled him in| this cour he said. | James D. C.
