Judge Lovett Points Out the Judge R. S. Lovett at the Senate hearing on Wednesday on interlock ing railroad d'rectorates made the fol '" winj points: "Instead of developing those lines this bill would turn the wheels of progress backward and destroy these geat systems. "If the Interstate Commerce Com mission had its way as this bill pro poses, the New York Central line ■would terminate at Buffalo and give up its voice in the control of any lines west of Buffalo. The Pennsyl vania Railroad would be cut in two at Pittsburgh because it could have no officers in common with the lines it is interested in west of that point. The Baltimore and Ohio would terminate NEW FREIGHT HATES IRE EXPECTED SOON Preparations in Philadelphia In dicate a Near Future Announce ment; Denial From Officials Interest on the part of railroad offi cials was centered on Washington, D. C„ to-day. It Is the general belief that the decision on the freight rate controversy will be given out to-day or to-morrow. That some announcement is due very soon is shown by the activity at the general freight department of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Philadelphia and at all division headquarters along the main line, including Harrisburg. New rates have been compiled and are ready for approval. It is expected that an increase of from 2 to 3% per cent, will be granted. A dispatch from Philadelphia says: "In advance of any decision from the Interstate Commerce Commission, railroads of the country, it became known yesterday, have already in vested $1,500,000 in printing new freight tariff schedules calculated on the basis of the 5 per cent, increase now before the commission. "Thousands of galleys of these tariff schedules are now standing in the shops of a local company. They rep resent the schedules proposed by rail roads with terminals in this city. "According to the printers, the type is merely awaiting word from the commerce commission to go on the presses and be run off by the thou sands. They will then be scattered broadcast as notice to shippers that the high cost of transportation has gone higher. "That the railroads have already spent $1,500,000 on type for these schedules is taken as an indication that they feel certain the increased tariff will be allowed. "It is strongly denied by the rail- however, that they have the slightest intimation of what the com merce commission's decision will be. Relief Payments.—The sum of $277,631 was paid out during April by the relief departments of the Pennsylvania railroad system in dis ability and death benefits. Of this total $187,543 represented the pay ments for disability and $90,088 the death benefits. Twenty-seven per cent, of the disability payments were on account of accidents and 20 per cent, of the death benefits were paid for the same cause. The total amount paid out in bene fits of all kinds since the relief de partments were started on the east ern lines in 1886 and on the western lines in 1889 has been $38,733,928. Many Men Idle.—The number of employes on the Pennsylvania Rail road Lines East of Pittsburgh on May 1, 1913, was 144,660, while on May 1, 1914, it was 136,567. The lat ter figures include some 10,000 to 12,- 000 men who have been furloughed I but whose names are retained on the rolls of the company. With earnings decreasing it is believed in some quar ters that the Pennsylvania is holding up its steel rail order pending the de cision of the advanced rate case by the Interstate Commerce Commission. If the increase is not granted or only a portion allowed the order will prob ably be smaller than in recent years. Normally the order would have been given last October. Gettysburg Excursion.—The Penn sylvania Railroad Company will run an excursion to Gettysburg from Al toona on Sunday, June 14. The train will leave at 7:30 in the morning, ar riving at the historic town shortly after noon. On the return trip it will leave Gettysburg at 5:30 in the aft ernoon, arriving in Altoona about 1 midnight. New Reading Kngine.—Freight en- I gine 1616, recently constructed at the] Reading shop of the Reading railway I is being tried out on the various di visions. This engine is equipped with a Jacob Shupert boiler. The object of first sending this locomotive to I Coatesville was for the purpose of | placing it on exhibition during the | visit of about 500 master boiler makers. The latter have been holding i a convention in Philadelphia and ! were taken to Coatesville on a spe- | cial train, with a view of taking a i look at the engine and inspecting the works of the Lukens Iron and Steel Company. Dies Like nis Father.—Dying sud denly in bed last night in exactly the same manner as his father died 24 years ago, William W. Green, G1 years old, ended probably the longest continuous period of service in one position of any man in the Pennsyl vania Railroad's employ. He was a crew caller for 4 6 years. His father Nathan W. Green, was the first crew caller ever employed by the company at Altoona. ■ ] A Full Set C of Teeth, 7 MACK'S PAINLESS DENTISTS 310 MARKET STREET Come in the morning.

"If this bill were to be enacted a great many systems might become bankrupt and go into the hands of receivers because they could not finance themselves." A. H. Harris, general counsel for the New York Central lines, said: "What this measure needs is thought and more thought. While there may be some good things in the bill, it is full of crudities, the ef fect of which would be to put road in a straitjacket." Standing of the Crews I!

Will Run For Governor By Associated Press Des Moines, lowa, June s.—Theo dore Roosevelt is seriously consider-- lng the proposition of becoming the Progressive candidate for Governor of New York, according to a letter re ceived by David Hinshaw, national Progressive organizer here, from George W. Perkins, of New York. Some of Colonel Roosevelt's plans for the campaign were told by Mr. Per kins in a letter which contains the fol lowing paragraph: "When he first came home he said that he did not see how he could pos sibly do this, but when he left here I think he was weighing the matter with great care and that if he makes up his mind that duty calls him to make the race here for the sake of conditions existing in this state and because of the Progressive demand for him he will get into the race and accept the nomination for Governor." FomirfTon GOES JO WORK [Continued from First Page.] * SB Bm MWWM Bajl Mr ' ' -3M BUI THEOFIL STEFANOVIC, Abbot by the allied armies In the recent Balkan war. Father Stefanovic has written an In teresting letter to one of his friends in Steelton telling in a modest way of his noble work and how the people of the territory that was ravaged, burned and devastated by the contend ing forces in the recent war, are hard at work to restore the land to its for mer prosperity. About a year ago the venerable priest bade a sorrowful farewell to the members of the faction-torn St. Nichols Church in Steelton and set sail lor the historic old abbey on Mt. Athos, about which so many romantic tales have been woven. Here he planned to spend his remaining days in comfortable study and seclusion. In spired by the beautiful green fields and balmy sea breezes, he hoped to be able to complete several books which he was writing. Hears of Work to Do His plans,, however, were changed. Shortly after his arrival at the abbey he heard how King Peter of Servia, backed by the great powers, was plan ning to restore the devastated prov inces wrested from the Turks to their former prosperity. This was a big un dertaking. The land was devastated, the buildings were burned and many families, particularly of the lower classes, had lost their sturdiest men. The war had left many scars. King Peter sent a call to the Abbey on Mt. Athos for some of the sturdiest! *fflyimiTim- g Hp BBllf'l- ' Q° MUCH depends on making a right beginning, l\f IS »•;',.

The Rev. Stefanovic was one of those who responded. He was sent to Ku manova. Kumanova is a city of some 6,000 people. It lies along what is now the southern boundary of Servia, and is one of the towns taken from the Turks. One of the fierciest and most i sanguinary battles of the war occurred here. The aged priest is now labor ing among an impoverished people to help them recover from the effects of the war. Conditions there are best described in his own words. In part he says: "The monastery is situated on a beautiful plateau facing the city of Kumanova. If I am successful in re storing the place to its former gran deur It will be one of the most beautl lul churches in Servia. The building is magnificent. It is an old monastery founded by Queen Helena and King Dusan and has a long history. War's Terrible Toll "The roof of the monastery and the tower were destroyed by the severe shelling of the conflicting armies in the battle here. The country is not in a very good shape yet, but everyone is busy trying to restore former condi tions. That is, those who are left are busy, for the war took a terrible toll.
