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.

The Southern Pacific, which has a
continuous service clear across the
continent, would be broken into seven
or eight fragmentary lines.
"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

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

Perkins Believes T. R.
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."

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!

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.

ple. They are in sore straits and need
much help. lam satisfied that I gave
up the luxury of Mt. Athos and glad
