Annual Report of Pennsylvania
Railroad Includes Record
Figures
In the annual report of the Bolrd of
Directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
made public last night, and printed in
full on another page of the Telegraph
to-day no reference Is made to the pro
posed Improvements which will be
started in South Harrlsburg on or
Hbout April 1, nor are any recommenda
tions made fo rfuture improvements In
this vicinity.
The report shows increased traffic
and in aggregate gross receipts; but in
creased expenses brought greatly de
creased prolits. Referring to these con
ditions, President Samuel Rea, of the
Pennsylvania Rialroad, takes oppor
tunity to refer to the "haphazard" way
the government Is taking care of rail
road Interests.
President Rea said the making of
fates by one organization and the con
trol of wages and operations by sepa
rate bodies is creating havoc among
railroad profits. He suggested that one
governmental commission should have
charge of all these matters so that it
could make all its adjustments at the
e<aine time and not upset the whole in
dustry. In discussing this matter,
President Rea's report says:
High Cost of Mutcrlnl
"While the revenues have increased
fi.lß per cent., the total expenses show
«n Increase of 8.9 C per cent. The in
orease of maintenance of way and
structure expenses Was 14."8 per cent..,
«lue to higher cost of renewals of rails
and the increased policing of roadway
to prevent trespassing and reduce acci
dents. Maintenance of equipment ex
penses increased 7.G6 per cent., due
principally to increase in repairs to
locomotives. Transportation expenses
increased 8.03 per cent., due man] to
Increases In wages and Installation of
safety applicances.
"The operation expenses of 1913 were
Increased by legislature such as the
oxtra crew laws and other expensive
measures and by wage increases grant
ed as the result of arbitartlon under
the Erdman act. The extra crew laws,
I'or Instance, alone involved an expen
diture east of Pittsburgh of $850,000
and this will convey some conception of
the extent of the needless expenditures
that have been placed upon all the
railroads in this territory."
In spite of these setbacks, the actual
revenue of the Pennsylvania was great
er last year than ever before. The in
come account shows gross earnings of
$180,400,825.27, an increase of $10,793,-
227.15. Net earnings, $17,413,424.52, a
decrease of $556,229.11.
Mn, Tlomoy n AVI (low—A letter was
received by Colonel Joseph B. Hutchi
son this morning from Frank Dorsey,
a resident of Green Spring, West Vir
ginia, announcing the death of his
brother, G. A. Dorsey, a former Har
risburgcr, who was at one time em
ployed on the Philadelphia and Read

not know that she Is a widow.

Vergara Is Reported to
Have Been Kidnaped
By Associated Press
■Washington, Feb. 28. —Officials here
discussed with much interest to-day
the report of Captain Sanders, of the
Texas Rangers, saying Clement Ver
gara, an American citizen, reported
hanged had really been kidnaped
and shot by Huerta's federals.
While Consul Garrett had been or
dered to make an extended inquiry and
vigorous representations demanding
reparation have been made to the Hu
erta government at Mexico City, there
was little official information to-day on
the Vergara killing, which has ad
mittedly stirred the Washington gov
ernment just as much as the recent
execution of William S. Benton, a
British subject, at Juarez.
The. inquiry into the Benton case
was planned to begin in earnest to
day or to-morrow with the departure
of a special train from Juarez for Chi
huahua, furnished by Villa, bearing
representatives of England and the
United States. In Chihuahua Amer
ican Consul Letcher will join the in
vestigators. Opinion is divided here
'on whether Benton's body after being
burled nearly two weeks in a tropical
climate would show if his wounds were
inflicted by a pistol or a firing squad.
While no satisfactory answer has been
made to the American government's
request for the surrender of the body
to the widow, that point will not be
pressed until all the evidence of a
medical examination is secured.
That General Garranza was rapidly
getting into touch with the situation
at Juarez and Chihuahua and would
exert his influence to clear up the Ben
ton case, was the informal assurance
which reached here to-day. It was
also supposed that Garranza will se
cure compliance to the American de
mand for the body.
Officials had before them to-day
Governor Colquitt's telegram asking
whether the United States recognized
any constituted government in North
ern Mexico, with whom he could ar
range for the extradition of those
whom he believed responsible for'the
death of Vergara.
MRS. BUFFUM GUILTY;
SMCED TO DIE
Five Sons Visited Her in Her
Cell Early This
Morning
By Associated I'rcss
Little Valley, N. Y„ Feb. 29.—Airs.
Cynthia. Buffum, convicted of murder
In the llrst degree last night for poi
soning her husband and sentenced to
dlo in the electric chair in April, was
awakened by Sheriff Dempsey before
sunrise this morning. At C o'clock
her five sons were brought into the
cell to see her. None but little Fran
cis, 13 years old, showed any grief at
parting. At 7 o'clock Mrs. Buffum was
started on her trip to the death house
at Auburn Prison.
All during the night the little pale
faced. sullen woman had been care
fully guarded in her cell to prevent
her from attempting suicide, but her
iron nerve remained' unbroken. She
relies on the encouragement from her
council, who told her last night after
she had been sentenced. "Don't worry
now; keep quiet and leave it all to me'
You will never die in the electric
chair." Counsel will ask the Court of
Appeals to order a new trial. The
trial of Ernest Frahm, Mrs. Buffuin's
alleged acomplice In the murder, will
begin in a few days.

scenes are shown and the comparisons
make the presentation different from
others and far above the average.
Arthur B. Price will act as a
guide, and will tell of many intimate
details as the scenes are pictured in
the colored views and motion pictures,
giving an opportunity to see and know
the various places as they are seen by
others. Starting with Russia on Mon
day night, France, Spain, Egypt, Af
rica and Ireland will be visited in the
order named, and the week's journey
will be one worth while to all who
take advantage of the opportunity
that the Telegraph presents to its
readers by cutting the coupon on the
first page. By presenting this coupon
at the box office with ten cents it will
be good for general admission.
Russia Monday Night
Russia, the subject announced for
Monday night is a most unique pro
gram as it shows the actual conditions
that prevail throughout this country
to-day. The motion pictures and col
ored views give a very clear and com
prehensive idea of what it means to
live in this land of the Czar.
France, which will be the program
for Tuesday night, is shown by many
hand colored, motion pictures of the
places that are famous. This program
is certain to appeal for it is from
France that we get our fashions, and
the views in Paris as well as Monte
Carlo, Nice, the garden spot of the
Riviera in all its beauty, the famous
cities and the country scenes are pic
tured and explained in detail.
A\ cdnesday at both matinee and
evening, Spain will be the program
and the land and home of the bull
light, romance, senoritas and peculiar
customs will afford much interest.
\\ hat is claimed to be the only motion
picture of a bull fight in which the
Banderlllero do Fuegos is used will
be shown and this picture showing
the complete details of the bull ring
at Madrid and the thousands who at
tend these exhibitions is well worth a
visit.
Egypt, the Wonderful
Thursday night, Egypt, the weird,
wonderful and mysterious country, the
birthplace of ciyilization and the bury
fng ground of centuries will be given
The strange tribes, the awful desert,
the ruins, the cataracts, the great dani
at Assuan that will revolutionize con
ditions existing to-day, the Sphinx
and the Pyramids are all pictured in
the motion scenes. The oriental
charm and splendor are portrayed in
all its beauty.
For Friday night. Africa will bo the
subject, starting the journey in the
southern section of the part of the
world where Christmas comes in the
summer time and August in midwin
ter. Twenty-one separate views are
shown in the motion pictures of Vic
toria Falls, which is twice as long and
over twice the height of our own
Niagara and this wonderful scene in
itself is unusual. The Boy King of
Uganda, the slave market where wom
en are sold as laborers, the cannibals,
the jungle, the Zulu chief and his
forty wives are only a few of the fea
tures of this program.
Where the Shannon Flows
Saturday for matinee and night, Ire
land, the home of the harp and
shamrock, pretty "colleens," beautiful
scenery and wonderful people will be
given. In the program for Ireland
there is much to interest and charm
because this country is one of the
favorites for all tourists. Blarney
Castle, the Lakes of Killarney, the
Hound Towers, the Wishing Bridge,
the market at Cork, and the Punches
town Steeplechase at Dublin together
with every other feature of life among
the people make up a program that is
beautiful and realistic.
With an assortment to select from
and with the features of everyone of
the programs shown in motion pic
tures and colored views, the Niblo
Travel Talks should And many inter
ested friends and the fact that the
Telegraph has made it possible for the
people to see this wonderful assort
ment at the price of ten cents, when
presented at the box office with a cou
pon, should insure crowded and de
lighted houses at every performance.
Jt is without doubt, the greatest at
traction of its kind ever in Harris
burg and the full and complete series
will be given just the same as if the
regular prices of 25 cents to SI.OO
were charged. The series opens on
Monday night at the Chestnut street
auditorium with Russia. A coupon
cut from the Telegraph and ten cents
presented at the box office is all that
is needed for admission.
