Losses Told by Rea
in United States Court
Baltimore, Md., July 1. President
Bamuel Bea, of the Pennsylvania Bail
road. occupied the stand yesterday in
the united States Circuit Court, where
Judge Martin A. Knapp Is hearing a
suit brought by the minority stock
holders of the Northern Central Bail
way, to enjoin the execution of a lease
, for a term of 999 years to the Pennsyl
-1 vanla Bailroad.
When asked why the operating ex
penses of the Northern Central were so
heavy. President Bea testified that, in
the case of one division, the operating
expenses were 100 per cent., eliminat
ing any net earnings.
Asked why the division of the North
ern Central running from Baltimore to
Sunbury, known as the main line, re
turned such small net earnings, Mr.
Bea said that the congestion of traffic
in the freight terminals here had much
to do with it.
He gave other factors in explanation
of this financial condition, attributing
it partly to the short road, the heavy
grado and roughness of country. The
recent improvements In Baltimore,
which included the erection of a new
Union Station and changes In the mode
of handling traffic, were, he said, other
factors In Increasing the operating ex
penses and causing the net earnings to
dwindle.

begun to distribute the catalogs and
complete the arrangements for this
year's exhibition, which it is prom
ised will be "bigger and better" than
before.
The racing events will again be in
charge of W. W. Conklln. Under the
management of Mr. Conklin the Mid
dletown fair races have become known
as tho fastest and best in this part of
the State.
A number of changes in the pre
mium list and in the manner of mak
ing entries have been made. The agri
culture and horticulture departments
have been arranged so that every
farmer and grower is given a chance
to exhibit some of his products. A
ribbon show and table egg contest will
add interest in the poultry depart
ment.
The amusements secured for this
year are said to surpass anything ever
seen on the local grounds. The dis
play of farm and mill products,
women's handiwork, relics, curios, etc.,
will tax the capacity of tho exhibition
space.
To relieve the crush of clerical work
prior to the opening of the fair a new
system of making entries has been
adopted. According to this system
entries may he made during the two
weeks preceding the fair. This will
allow the exhibits to be In place and
ready for the Judging by the time
the exhibition opens.

John Wanamaker
Knew What They Were Saying
and This Is What They Said:
"The lesson we must learn Is the value of saving money. Economy
makes strong, Industrious, successful men. 1 cannot state this too em
phatically." • JEFFERSON DAVI&
"The man who cannot and does not save money, cannot and will
not do anything else worth while." ANDREW CARNEGIE.
"The difference between the clerk who spends all his salary and
the clerk who saves part of It Is the difference-—in ten years between
the ovvner of a business and the man out of a job."
JOHN WANAMAKER.
