NEW $10 NOTE IS BEING CIRCULATED. Latest Arrival in Spurios Field Plain Photograph, Business men have again received warning from the treasury. department to guard against a new. counterfeit $10-| bank note. The ‘atest arrival in the spurious note field is made out on the Silver Bow National bank of Butte, Mont., and is of the series of 1902. It bears the check letter B; W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury; Lee McCluns, treasurer of the United States, and a portrait of William McKinley. ‘The correct charier nymiber of the Stiver Bow bank is 4283. Tae counter- feit bears charter number 4256, treas- ury number A40€059 and bank number 19207. All of these numbers are prirt- ed in purple ink, as 1s the geographical number W.

N. 1. wa SENDS LETTER TO CONNECTICUT’S GOVERNOR. President Elliott Explains Car Short- age Problem Now Confronting Road. President Elliott of the New York, /New Haven amd-.Hartford,, Railroad{ company has just sent aletter to-the, members of the public utilities com- missions of Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, Rhode Island and New York, and to the governors. s well as to the United States senators and me:nbers of the house of representatives, of Con- necticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, giving specific information as to facts and conditions confronting New ‘Engfand and the New Haven company regarding car shortage. The letter follows, in part: As you well know, the situation in New Engiand is reculiar, because the roads are largely termiral rosds, and is so serious that I 'think the public service commissicners representing the New Engiand states should be advised. The number of cars on the road is above the economical limit and pre- vents the prompt movement of busi- ness and the satisfactory expediting of important_shipments. The growing congestion and the blocking of yards becauce of this in- crease in the number of cars on the line has made necessary the resump- tion of embargoes. The New Haven and Central New England have the capacity to move more cars into terminals each day than are unloaded, notwithstanging the fact that the unloading has increased This company is working to relisve the situation by co-operating,with other roads and with the interstate commerce commission. It has sug- gested new rules governing car ser- vice and demurrage and tariffs for in- creasing minimum weights. The com- pany has during the last year added considerably to the capacity of the road. Five hundred coal cars, ordered in December, 1615, and promised in May, are just bezinning to be deliv- ered. Eighty-onc engines, ordered in 1915, have been delivered. Whatever may be the causes or remediess for the present conditicn, with winter approaching, the eituation is serious and deserves the careful thought and attention of all interested in the welfare of New England. There is the greatest nocessity that every shipper ~ or consignee excrcise the greatest economy in the use of cars, and that fuel and all raw materials brought from points outside of New mserved because of the delay and difficulty in obtaining mew supplies. This company has consider- able coal stored, and is amply protect- ed by contracts for its current coal supply, if the coal is delivered by con- necting lines. In order, however, to furnish the transportation absolutely necessary and at the same time con- serve its coal supply, it is possible that it may be necessary to reduce temporarily passenger train service on branch lines, where there are a num- ber of tralns running each day, and use the fuel for moving froight trains carrying food, fuel and supplies. It is to be hoped that the close of lake navigation will relieve somewhat the present stringency in regard to coal cars and that the situation will become less critical. It is however, of the utmost importance that everyone co-operate in making the best of a most complicated situation.
