It Is laterestlag to recall the disasters that over took two of the most promlaeat railroad cor porations of t&e country and the events Imme diately pracedlag their appeals to the coort. Whea the manipulation of ratal 00 tha Atchi son, Topekaand rianta ft began, tome years ago, Tnm See, upon lu knowledge of the facta, foreshadowed the bankruptcy ef the concern and tha downfall of the management responsi ble for soch methoda ot operation. Both ot these events occurred, but almost up to the hoar at which the receivers were appointed for the company Its President waa asaertlog Its sot-Tsacy. Mootcs before the Baltimore Ohio, formerly another rate destroyer, wa placed la the hands of receivers. Tnx Sex adrUcd an examination of lu books by aa expert accouataatoobehalt of Its security holders, la thts case also the execu tive officers declared that there was ao cause for alarm on the port of Investors u the securi ties ot the company only a snort time before a confession of Insolvency in the courts. In bis address to the Seaboard and Roanoke stockholder President Hoffmaa aays that "tne physical condition of the Seaboard Air Llae, Its track aad equipment. Is first class la every re spect, and haa been stsadlly Improved by the preeent administration, aad Is to-d7 ta a hlghsr state of eZcl'acy than ever In tbe nlstury of the line."

A. combi nation of the reports of the Seaboard and l.uaaoke. ha.eigh aad Qaaton, Raleigh and Augusta, Carolina Central, (Jenrvta, Caro lina and Northern, and Durham and Northern companies (which form sub stantially all of the system) showed a net excess of current UaUilt.es over current aaaeu ot $111,000 Among t&eae liabilities were loans and b.ll payable by the seaboard and Rnanoae reported at SJ00.0OO. It appears thea that tne aurplaa a reported by Mr. Hoff man for the past cecal y-ar waa cot uffiaieot to pay the net current ItabUltle axUtlug at the eloo of the prevlou fiscal year. Is It aot clear that a considerable part of the proceeds of the sale of $43(1.000 treasury bond a daring the year was ased to meet current obl'gatlena. aad that It such sale had aot beea mads Mr. Hoffman's claim that the system has no floating debt could not be sustained? Mr. HoSinaa'e etatament ahows that the grosa earnings of the system have Increased J37J.0QO over thoae of the prev.oas year, and the operating expenses have larrsesed only $44,000. As the increase la operating expenses would not ordi narily pay theacma! transnortatloa expenses Incident to tne Increased earnlags tha conclu sion teem inevitable that the expenditures lor maintenance were even lower tbao thoae of the Erevloua fiscal year, aad there are abuadaat idlcatloaa that the maintenance expenses were kept below normal la l.i64-&3. la considering expendltaree for maiateaanca of way It mast be remomDered that the procor tioa ot mala line to lu total road Is greater on the (Seaboard ayatem than that ef most other roads la the South. Tne Inter-State Commerce Commlsa nn's resort for 1H03 is cat at hand, but from these of 1803 and 1904 It aspears that the avenge expenditures for maintenance of way and structures per mile of road operated by all railroads In Virginia and the Caroltnas la those year waa f 590 aad $379 respectively, and for 13115 It Is fa'r to assume that the average was aot below $33. In these three years the average expenditure per mile for theae pur poses 00 the Seaboard Air Llae avsteni were oniy $437. $4S9. and $4rl4 respectively. The Seaboard Air Llae charged practically nothing "o operating expenses for rails In ll 05. aad only about $30,000 la the tour ysa-s orior to Juae 30. la The reaewal ot tls la 1183 avsrsared only 300 ties to the mile, which Is at least 23 per vent, below the normal renew als oven U tlie South, where the life of a te la longer than In tone other parts of the country.

For many yrare all the large club of the city have paid the Internal rsreaue tax of (S3 a year, and many have also taksn oat a license from the city. Recent decision la the State court hare held that there la bo selling or giving of liquor bya einb to lu members, and. therefore, that the State cannot Impoae a tax against club under the Ralaee law. Bat the Federal revenue law Is another thing. For several days past the Internal Ravenna Collectors ot this city have been huatlng up theee new social clabe" with the Idea of en forcing the Federal tax of (S3 a year. It haa been a difficult Job, because the place of meeting I not stated tn the article of Incorporation of the dabs except tn the general war that the place of meeting 1 "lathe city of New York." but the deputies of the collectors hare beea able I to loeate many of tha clubs on the east side I because a large part It not moit of the saloons which hare a meeting room In the rear have Incorporated olaba, made up ot patron of tha saloon, who occupy the meeting rooms on San days. These agents have secured data oa whlcn It ti proposed to take actloa to collect these taxes, for the clubs, for the most part, don't voluateer to pay. Soma uasaslnet waa caused among clubs by the lending out of about forty notice on Wad. ne-day by Edward Groese. Internal Revenue Collector for the Third district of Jfew tork. cnmraaadlnc the clubs to call at the Captain's office and pay up or lake the conseunences. la this way tne stand of the Federal authorities became generally known yesterday. It la ex pected that a teat ease will shortly be made by a proceeding brouaht by tha Internal Revenue Collector. Section 3,24-1 of the United State Reviled statute ays: " Retail dealers In liquor shall pay (23. Every person w&o sells or offers for sale foreign or domestic distilled spirit or wines la lee quantities thaa live gallons at the same time shall be regarded as a retail dealer tn liquors " Retail dealers In malt Ilaaors shall pay (20. Every person who sells or offe-s for sale malt liquors tn quantities of five gallons or less at one time, hut w&o ahall not deal la sptrltuou liquor, shall be regarded aa a retail dealer la malt liquors." Tbe pualsomeat for violation of tha law Is: " Every person who carrlee on the business of a brewer or wholesale or retail dealer In malt liquor, without having paid a special tax there for, aa required by law. shall, beside being liable to the payraeatof the tax, be fined not leva than $10 or more thaa $300. The questtoa Is wbetber. when the State pro. nouacea that a club la aot a retail dealer, the Called states will proaouace that It Is. Collsc tor Orntso aatd yesterday "The Federal stacutea provide that any place where liquor La sold must pay the tax. It makes I ao difference whether it la in a club or a saloon, or whether the elub is tocorporsted or not. Nor ! dre It matter whetcer a State license Is paid for I the place or not. Any club that has ao Federal 1 license aad refases to pay the tax will, after belar once notified, be reported ta the Called btatas District Attorney, who will cause the er- rt of the officers, if it Is Incorporated, or of the members If It Is not incorporated.

This belief la aow shared by Llaeomb' aoa-ln-law. Dr. Sweaixel, who ha known him far tha past fifteen years. A aunbor of Lls comb's old friend called at Dr. SwsnUei's office yesterday to Inquire about his condition. Dr. sweatzel told them all that Llaeomb was ' still confined It bed at his daughter's home In 1 Westneld. N. J., with nervous prostration. II 1 can two doctors in attendance on Thursday night. Llaeomb has aatd but vary little about hi adventure to any of his family. althouh he heretofore made his daughter a confidant. Dr. Sweauel i puxxled aa to why his fataer-la-law nawned hi diamond aad his wife Jewelry for $"40 and a to waat he did with the moaey. He said that Ltecomb hada't aay ased ot the money, apparently. He waa aot la embar reiand etrcumtrees. always lived very quietly, aad was aot at all extravaa-sat la hi habit. ! Llaeomb wa a conspicuous member of the Fire D.partmeat of the old days, whea Tweed B'g air "waa the leading fire company of the town. He waa a well-known member of Tam- I many Hall, and al two brothers wara for years la public office. For over a decade he wa I aupertnteadent of the W(ador apartzneat I hone at Broadway aad Flfty-foarth atreet. the , owner of which committed aulcld became he thooght be had become a pauper, but who left an eatate valued at several millions. Llaeomb lohertted money from his mother, so Dr. Sweat zel aal yesterday, aad. besides that, wa always la a pcsilioa where ha eajoyed a lucrative iaeome. Dr. Swentzel expects that Llaeomb will be well enough to be In court on Moaday to ex plain more satisfactorily than he has Heretofore I dose how he came to be chained up in the cellar.

Police Commissioner Grant talked yeeterday about the deadlock In the Police Board over the appointment of Inapectora. The delay In ap pointing Inspectorslhas necessarily delayed pro motion In other ranks. At present there are lira Inspectors, a Deputy Chief, half a doxen Captains, and a number of Sergeants to be ap pointed. When the controversy between the Commlasloaer ta going to end no oae can UQ. Commissioner Gnat said : - From the preeent status of affairs I do not think that anything wtll or ean be dene until the Legislature meets, and then I believe eome thlng will be don whereby the tangle will be atralghtened out. My candid belief Is that the present ayitem of having four Commlsaloners In the Police Department Is about a bad a It possibly can be, and I shall certainly ante a rad ical change as soon aa the Legislature meets. No four men can possibly agree aa a Board on anything, and 1 1st my opinion that a tingle headed commission should be established, and the sooner the better. A person hoaId be ap pointed who should bo responsible to t&e Mayor for his actions, and a person whom tha Maror could remove at any time he so desires. What the Secretary of War Is to the President of the United State the Commissioner of Police should be to the Mayor, and he should be responsible for the policy and actions of the police. "The Chief should be the chief executive la the department, but he should be responsible to the Commissioner exactly like a General la the army. T&are Is certainly no way out of the present tangle except by legislation. At this time I am aot prepared to say what line of leg islation will be adopted, but that there will be aome kind there Is no doubt. - As I said before, no four men can agree on anything as a commission. There la always a disagreement aad a disposition to shift trouble from one to the other. hat Is needed la the Po lice Department more than in any other munici pal department la quick action. Four men cannot act quickly. One maa can. A matter reqairiag quick action Is brought to the attention of one of the Commsssioaere under the present sys tem, and. If It requires aay troaale. eacn Com missioner tries to shift the trouble on to some one of the others, aad. thereby, a tangle occurs, and the matter at Issue is delayed indefinitely. This could all be obviated under a single-head commtaaloa. It could be fouad whether a man aa Commlasloaer 1 qualified to hold the position aad to act with quick Judgment, and It he waa found wanting the Mayor could remove htm a: 1 a moment's notice. Under the preheat system there is obliged to be continual friction, end It Is unavoidable." Police Commissioner Roosevelt, when asked his views aa to a single-headed police commis sion, aald: I am most earnestly tn favor of a single headed commlestoa. I can eoacetve of no pos sible argument against it that can compare la weight with the argument for It." Commissioner Andrews said : "I waa In favor of a single-headed police commission before I became a Commissioner. but sine my appointment 1 have become em phatic la the opinion that the Police Depart ment can oaly ba well managed by a tingle Commissioner Tal fact has become mora aad more apparent to me daring the peat few znoatba A 8TOTjKX HOKtB BOVOHX It EltK, Bmry Beeoeralsea Whea Tartovr Reaeked Ovaaa raraa-Thlavaa Arreateat.

Superintendent Kilburn denied the right of Justice Pryor to take tho assets from him by the appointment of receiver In uch a proceed ing, and under the advice of the Attorney-Gen- 1 era! he haa aot turned over the assets to Jastice I Pryor's receivers.
