The annual financial report of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo rail
way riven out in Topeka today shdws
a decrease in the net Income of the
system for the fiscal year ending; June
0, 1914, compared with the previous
year. This report will be formally
submitted to the stockholders of the
road at the annual meeting to.be held
In Topeka October 22.
There was a heavy decrease In both
freight and passenger revenue for the
year. Freight revenue for 1914
amounted to $73,638,388, compared to
$78,190,923 for the year previous.
Passenger revenue for 191. $28,497,
233; for 1913, $29,425,922, making a
total operating revenue for 1914,
$111,109,770, compared to $116,896,
152 for 1913.
The retrenchment plan of the rail
way evidently had its fruits, as the to
tal operating expenses dropped from
$77,642,635 in 1913, to $73,469,334 in
1914. This decrease was due to a drop
In the maintenance of way and struc
tures and also in transportation ex
penses. Taxes, however, took, a con
siderable Jump, from $4,662,152 in
1913 to $5,525,585 In 1914. The net
Income for 1914 was $20,183,965;
1913, $22,153,734.
Honey for Improvements.
The fiscal year Just ended has not
been a prosperous one for the Santa
Fe. However, $2,673,000 was spent
for the construction and acquisition of
new mileage, in addition to $13,284,
000 spent for additions and better
ments and additional equipment. The
policy of the Santa Fe has always
been to jut surplus earnings into a
fund for the improvement of the road,
which have kept the earnings up to a
standard figure of the last few years
when many other lines operating in
the same territory have had bad
lumps.
In 1914, the surplus current earn
ings available for expenditure on ad
ditions and betterments or extensions,
after the payment of interest charges
and dividends, was $2,719,000. "It will
be seen, therefore," comments the
Railway Age Gasette. "how radical and
drastic would be the change in the
course of the Santa Fe if increased
earnings do not make available a larg
er sum than $2,700,000 for additions
and betterments, or if there is no
change for the better in money condi
tions which will warrant a change of
policy on the part of the manage-

of road, an Increase In mileage fnpm
1113 to 1914 of 190 miles, puring the
years 1897 to 1914, the average earn
Inn Mr mile of road operated have
grownTrom $4,752 In 1897. to $10,186
in 1914. V
" Property Values Doubled.
The Santa Fe's actual property value
almost doubled from 1897-to 1914. In
1897. the total property invested, ex
cluding working capital, amounted to
$387,957,000 and the income for that year
amounted to 1.57 per cent on this in
vestment. In 1907, property investment
had increased to $519,004,000 and the in
come was an amount equal to 6.31 on
this Investment. In 1909, total property
invested was $548,251,000 and income
$33,535,000 or 6.11 per cent. In 1914. prop
erty investment was $651,429,000, an in
crease of more than $100,000,000 since
1909, while income was but $33,070,000,
slightly less than in 1909 and represent
ing but 5.08 per cent on the investment.
The tonnage of freight carried in
1914 was 25.034,000. or only a compara
tively small number of tons less than
carried in 1913. On the other hand, the
average length of haul in 1914 was but
292 miles, as against 311 miles for 1913.
Couldn't Reduce Expenses.
It was impossible to reduce operat
ing expenses to an amount that would
offset the decrease in business. The
redaction in operating expenses of
$4,173,000 was due to a smaller ex
penditure in maintenance by $2,746,
000 and the reduction in transporta
tion expenses of $1,317,000. Detailed
expense accounts show that the prin
cipal reductions in right of tvay were
in the amounts spent for track labor,
for bridges, trestles and culverts, and
for' buildings, fixtures and grounds.
The economies for transportation
expenses were due, apparently, to a
reduction in freight train mileage,
which reduction,- however, was not
quite commensurate with the falling
off In ton mileage. The decrease in
ton mileage was 8.07 per cent; the de
crease in freight train mileage. 6.98
per cent. The average train load in
tons.-
At the end of 1914 there was $309,
985,000 stock outstanding and $313,
194,000 bonds.

High Water Mark.
Expenses Hare Been Reduced
More Than $30,000.
. In 18 months that the state oil in
spector's office has been operating un
der the hew law, the receipts of the
department and saving in expenses has
totaled $59,596.45 as compared with the
record for the last 18 months under
the old law. These facts are shown in
a tabulated report issued today by
Frank Cumisky, state oil inspector.
When the legislature came to Topeka
In 1913, they found 125 deputy oil in
spectors drawing- pay from the state for
inspecting oil and gasoline. It was a
loose, uncertain system and cost the
state virtually fifty per cent of the
total receipts of the department.
Frank Cumiskey, -who had been ap
pointed inspector by Governor Hodges,
looked over the force of 125 deputes
and decided he would make a change.
Bo the legislature was appealed to and
a law was enacted which reduced the
number of deputies from 125 to six. And
this is the record of the office for
three years 18 months under the old
plan and the first IS months under the
new system.
In the last 18 months that the old
method was in force, the 125 deputy
inspectors reported to the state fees
aggregating Just $102,945.49. In the first
18 months the new law ias been on
the statute books, the six deputies have
inspected oil and gasoline that brought
in total fees or $132,502.90. Again.
The expense of the department for
the last 18 months under the old plan
was $49,599.70. Under the new law,
the expense has been reduced to $19,
560.66, although the work of the of
fice shows an increase of nearly 20 per
cent in addition to a shortage of some
119 deputies.
August, 1914, shows fees for the of
fice of $11,284. with $10,107.26 for
September and $9,487 for July. The
largest month's business under the old
plan was $7,443.62 in August, 1912.
Under the - new . method of handling
the oil inspection Work, seven of the
18 months have shown receipts in ex
cess of the nigh water mark when the
office was working under the old law.
EUROPEAN BATTLE

damage inflicted on the city by the
German artillery may be set off in
large measure by the great destruction
wrought on German shipping in the
harbor by the Belgians. "
An official communication from
Berlin states that no information is
available as to the amount of booty
taken in the town. The same official
statement asserts that on Saturday
German cavalry completely routed a
French cavalry division west of Lille,
which indicates the extreme limit of
the western battle is within 20 miles of
the straits of Dover.
It is officially announced In Berlin
that in the eastern theater of war all
attacks of the First and Tenth Rus
sian armies have been repulsed, while
the same fate was suffered by the
Russians when they attempted an out
flanking movement by way of Schier-
wlndt. East Prussia. In South Po
land, the Germans claim their armies
have reached the Vistula. The asser
tion is . also made that the Russians
have invented the stories which have
been given out regarding great vic
tories at Augustowo and Suwalki.
Petrograd Is Silent.
Petrograd remains silent as to the
movements of the Russian army but
hints that secrecy is necessary for the
time being because important opera
tions are pending. Late reports indi
cate that terrific fighting, partaking
of the nature, of siege operations, has
taken place during the last fortnight
around Roye, Lassingy and Albert, the
last named place . having been com
pletely destroyed. ' .

the Germans were driven show they
took the fullest possible advantage of
the existing rock quarries. Now that

of Italy of the rapid spread of Asiatic

nificant that he should have been bora

London, Oct. 12. News that the
greater part of the Belgian and Brit
ish troops, the defenders of Antwerp,
had arrived at Ostend avoiding by a
forced march the encircling German
movement, was received here with
great satisfaction. It is accepted,
however, that at least 8,000 British
and Belgian troops, the rear of the re

and have entered Holland, where they
will be interned.

The aeroplanes appeared soon after
noon, one began the attack by drop
ping a bomb near the Northern rail
way terminal, another on the Rue St.

the rear of the great Cathedral of
Notre Dame.
Three more bombs were dropped by
tne same airmen in the vicinity of the
Bourse and one house was set on fire.
One bomb struck within one hundred
yards of a building occupied by Amer
ican newspaper offices.
The second aeroplane also flew over
the cathedral, dropping four bombs,
one of which lighted on the roof 'of
the cathedral, but failed to explode. A
second fell in the square where the
bishop's residence is located. A third
struck the parapet of the Qua! de
Bourbon and glanced off into the
Seine. The fourth disappeared in the
Seine near the Bridge of Notre Dame.
The second Taube appeared to aim
at the cathedral, while the other ma
