L. ¥, Wettling, statisticlan for the rallways, continued the introduction of evidence began last night He presented figures showing that the return on prop- erty devoted to passenger service is only 237 per cent, at a deficit, “The reduction Wettling sald, to 2.cent fare Mr. “brought no stimulus to travel such as was anticipated. On top of this fallure of the growth of travel to hold its pace, thers was, rosulting from the rate reductions, a gradual de- cline in the average revenue, both for hauling the ton one irile and the passenger one mile. “Efforts at efficlency to offset the adverse factors of rising costs and falling rates, although they have brought con- spicuous results, have not been able to succeed.” The witness sald that both services combined earned a net return equalling 424 per cent on the value of the prop- erty. In the frelght service, he sald, the return was 515 per cent, while the passenger service earned only 237 per cent on the value of the property de- voted to passenger traffic on all of the forty-six railroads. “Only about one-half of the estimated increase of from $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 in passenger revenues from the proposed advance In passenger rates would ac- crue,’ Mr, Wettling sald, “unless state fares as well as interstate are advanced for almost one-half of the total travel is wholly within one etate.” SURGEON M’DOWELL EXONERATED BY COURT ANNAPOLIS, July 7.—Surgeon Rath McDowell, United States navy, was today exonerated of any complicity in the senling of naval academy «xamination papers to Midshipman James E. Moss, before the court of Inquiry Investigating the “cribbing scandal” at the institution. Robert Moss, father of Midshipman Moss, who, it had been testified by Ad- miral Fullam, superintendeat of the naval acedemy, mentioned Dr. McDow- ell's name In discussing the matter with the admiral, stated to the court today that he never intended to convey the slightest imitation that Dr, MeDowell knew of or “sanctioned or had ever heard of the matter.” while many roads cperate | "llr)’lnl’i saw. The claim directly contradicts {the Vienna officlal report, which states that the Russians have suf- fered defeat in this section. Other- wise the Russian and Austro-German reports agree that qulet prevalls nlong the remainder of the eastern front, where for the first time in sev- eral weeks the Austro-German arm- fes have ceased to win dally suc- | censes. Italy keeps up its heavy |tics against the Austro-Hungarian posi- | ttons along the Isonso river. Vienna re- | ports particularly fierce but frultiess at- tacks on the lower Isonzo, between Gorizla and the sea. Rumors continue to reach London from many scattered sources of a great Ger- man offensive against the western front, with Calais on the English channel as the objective, but actual reports from this war theater show no more than the usual activity. General Sir Hamilton's report of the British landing at the Dardanelles has caused much comment in the British press, which shows great pride in the achievements of the allied troops. This is mot unmixed with criticism, however, of the strategy which directed the cam- palgn. Lord Northcliffe's newspapers are particularly strong in denunciation of the tactica which led to such fearful slaughter. The Times, describing the naval dash which preceded the land oper- battering tac- ations, says it was a naval Balakava and denounced the whole operations, characterizing them as ‘“‘unforgivable bungling. ¥French Ofticlal Report. “PARIE, July T=The French officlal statement of pperations along the west- ern front today sald: “In the region to the north of Arras the bombardment continued all last night.
