FREIGHT TUBE
STILL NEEDED
Holland Says New York
Tunnel Would Have
Checked Famine.
A? Ions ace em s?ptemb?r. 1*17,
th. Railway War Board at Waah
tngton. now mo longer la ?alatane?,
cavile?! aitanti ? ? mare than one. to
th. possibility of ??rlous ?hortage
ut coal 1?. th. autuma of laat year
aad the -?later of thia year. Urg
?nt demanda for coal cam? from
many part? of th? country, ?a-wcl
ally from the northeast.
Howard Elliott, a member of the
Hallway War Board, who wa? f?
mtltar with condition? tn New Eng
land, arced repeatedly that ?Vep?
b? taken to supply New Enwlan.l
with anfflclent coal to maintain her
great lndu?tri?l plant?, many of
which wer? occupied in manufac
turing munition? of war.
r'roir the South there came let?
urgent call for coal, partly, no
1 doubt because of transportation fa*
cilitie. wer? better ther. than else
where, and partly because ther? ar.
abondant and convenient supplies
of coal in .th? Appalachian region
>.t New Pr.aaj.ltt.ai.
In response to theae appeal?, th?
northwest wa? to ?om? extent re
I lleved by November of anxiety lest
there be a shortage of coal, but al
most nothing was done In th? w?y
of preparation for hhe winter coal
supply for New Tork and New Eng
land.
Had a proposition which was made
?eventi year, ago been accepted, then
? freight traffic tunnel between Man
hattan and the New Jersey shore
would by thi? time hav? been, con
structed.
The engineer? who made tentative
examination? reported that the plan
waa feasible. It had earlier been ad
vocated Informally by Wm. McAdoo.
now Secretary of th? Treasury and
director general of the Federali-?-1
Railway Systems of the United State?
Mr. McAdoo. when planning for and
afterward? building the Hudson River
tube?, contemplated ?n extra tube
adapted to traffic for team?, carts or
truck?
Recently General Goethal? has
warmly recommended that the State.-*
of New Tork and New Jersey act
in eo-oneratioh eo that ? tunnel adapt
ed for freight traffic truck?, market
wagon? ?nd the like, could be con
structed which would form a very
important artery for transportation
of commodities between Manhattan
and In fact all of greater New Tork
and also New England.
MeAaVe. Reaaeathcr. Plaa.
The experience of the past ten days
Is likely to hasten the adoption of a
plan by which a great tunnel unde.?
the Hudson of capacity sufficient to
carry traffic by wagon, carts, or other
vehicles will be in a few years con
structed.
Were there such a tunnel now. New
Tork and New England would have
been spared some part at least of
their anxiety and ?offering caused by
the ?hortage of coal and the severity
of the weither. On. of the first
things Mr. McAdoo did when he as
sumed ?upreme control under th
President of the Federalixed Ameri
can railroad? wa? to devise ?nd then
order th. utllixatloo of the tunnels
under the Hudson which the la-e .?.
J. Cassstt bant for the Penn?ylv?nia
Railroad for passen a -vr service alone.
It wa? not a new proposition to
Mr. McAdoo. He muat hav? recalled
the days when he. to j, contemplateli
the construction of a tunnel suitable
for freight trafile between New York
and Jersey City. By hi? authority,
instantly exerted, and with the ade
quate rapport of the railway man
agers the Pennsylvania, tube? under
th. Hudson were utilized ?? ?onn a?
possible and the strange spectacle of
maay carload? of freight passing un
der the Hudson through the passenger
service tube, thence by the tunnel
under Manhattan and the *5ast River
to Brooklyn and from that point over
the new Hell Gate Bridge to the New
Haven Railroad yard? ha? served to
impress th. people with the fact that
great ability, great energy and fairly
reaaonable, although therefor? unused
resource? could. In co-operation, re
lieve the most dangerous situation
New Tork City and New England
ever found themselves in.
Ther? ha? been coal in compara
tiva plenty upon th? Jetaey front
of New Tork harbor, but the facl'i
tle? for transporting it seros? the
Hud?on Rlv?r to New Tork ?nd New
England have been so poor that but
lfttl? of it could be availed of until
th? tab.? were utilised.
Rawer?! Making rigare..
The mind cannot conceive the
magnitude of the figure? which tell
of th? exchangee and baiane--]
made fa the New Tork clearing
house association for 1917, or fur
that matter the magnitude of ?he
clearings In Chicago. Philadelphia.
Baltimore ?nd other !a-g- financial
tentera
it 's only by some comparison
that a vague understanding of
theae figure? can be gained. The
government authoritle? at Wash
ngton ettimated that witni-i lh?
IIrat twelve month? of tht war the
United State? would be compelled
to raise and pay out nineteen bil
lion dollar?.
Bat that cum la only ?a.???,???,??)
more than the mere balance? witn
which ex :?anjes in ths New a ok
clearing houae exchange? were per
fected. The t? lai exc'iange? aecie
Hgted neiriy }17?'.00?.0??,???, and ?I re
tired only ?H.(W ???,.?? in caah to
complete these exchange, by settle
ment through balance?.
Th? magnitude of our world trade
nd th? Inconcelveably great Increase
? our domestic industry and cora
nerce and barter are suggested by
heave ligure?. Of themselves the/
urnish ampi? evidence that the
'nited State? 1? strong enough flnan
IaUly to maintain whatever material
trength may be necessary In order
o ?.cure ultimate victory over the
irmies of Germany and Austria.
Then again the estimate now made
by the Washington authorities agrees
with ? statement reported tn this col
umn a few days ago respecting the
aggregate amount of our foreign trade
in December.
The Department of Commerce fixe?
he money value of our International
rade for the calendar year at tS.Ot?.
m.m or alntoet exactly one half of
h* amount which Secretary McAdoo
?stlmated would be necessary for the
'nited State? to raise and expend In
he flrtvt twelve month? of our par
liclp.tion in the war.
No other figura? that tell the ?tory
< a world?? trade, not even thoae of
?rent Britain, compire In magnitude
aith the money value of our trade in
?17.
The Bureau of Commerce estimates
hat th? trade balance In favor of
he United 8tate? In vtn 1? conslder
My In exeeeu of ?.0?,0*->.??; for our
xporta w?r? of the money value of
??,??&??,??? ?nd our Import, of the
money value of a little under tt,m.
m,em. And that balance, unlike thoee
f th. yeara b?fete the wer. I? all to
HOLLAND. '
From the Financial Ticker
Trader? on the Coneolldated Stock
Exchange eon?trued th? over-Sunday
new? a? favorable, and at the start
of th? day price? generally ranged
higher. GraduaUly. however, the mar
ket took on an lrr?gul?r aspect, with
reactions taking place in some or
the leading stocks, which had been
especially firm.
The downward trend of Liberty is.
which early touched a new low,rec
ord, had aa adverse effect upon sen
timent. It again brought home to
traders th? feet that government
financing continues the overshadow
ing factor in the investment situa
tion.
While no official statement has yet
been made, it haa been reported in
good quarters that the next liberty
loan will be for m.Wb\m>.O0ti, and that
th? campaign for it will start on
or about February 15. The over
Sunday news Included Premier Lloyd
George's re-statement ot allied war
alma, which by many wa? construed
as leaving the door for peace open
one? more.
Another development has been the
suspension by Germany ot tbe peace
negotiation? with Russia, aa a result
of which great Bolshlvlki activity
is reported at Petrograd, with threats
' made of new Russian military op
erations against the Germana
So far a? the market wa? concern
ed, TJ. S. Steel led Its general move
ment In the earlier dealings. U. S.
Steel opened *BS-8, up 1-2. and touch
ed a forenoon high of 93.1-4. but it
then reacted under SS. B. S. B.
opened 781-2, up 11-4 points, and
early ?old 78 3-4.
Reading was the most active of
railroad ahares. It opened 73-1-8,
down 1-J, but it later roe? to 741-2,
then reacting.
A broad business in odd lots was
handled; by commission houses.
Rumored on good authority that the
government win take over the Amer
ican Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany and guarantee the preeerffT div
idend*, ?
Director General McAdoo'? call to
the railroad? for data on maturities
and physical needs helped the rail
roads. Mr. McAdoo apparently is
losInK no time in getting the Federal
machinery into action.
Tb? strength of Canadian Pacific
; has kept the street guessing. The
j theory advanced that Canadian Pa
I ciflc Is supported by the Canadian
I Unan-tai Interests receives wide crr
' dence.
I Call money loaned at 2 3-4. This
should foster bullish sentiment.
I There seems to be no disposition
I yet to check brokers' loans in an
| ticipation of government financing.
Time loans are made on ' a three
months' maximum basis.
The meeting of the directors of
the General Motor? Company, which
wa? scheduled for todsy. has been
pestponed until tomorrow morning at
11 o-clock. due to the delay In the
Michigan train bearing members of
the board.
The meeting of the Chevrolet Mo
tor Company, which was scheduled
for today, also has been postponed
until tomorrow st 2:30 p. m.

COURT TAX DECISION
STIMULATES MARKET
Ruling Stock Dividends Not Taxa
ble as Income Causes Revival.
Hi BROA ?? If \\ \i ? ?*
New York, Jan. 7.?Decision of
the Supreme Court that stock dlvl
ii'-nds are not taxable as income to* j
aether with Ha ruling- postponing!
further action In the anti-trust I
suits at this time revived the stock i
market this afternoon and closed j
introna; and net higher, although In |
the morning ft was very Irregular I
and lower.
The opening was strong but sell- '?
ing developed almost Immediately ?
with the result that losses ot al
point and more were seen In stand
ard issues. In Pullman a new low ?
record was made.
The automobile stocks were ir- |
regular. Willys-Overland declined
while Chevrolet moved up to a new
high record of 120 and General Mo
tors ruled higher. This irregular
ity continued until after th? Su
preme Court met at noon. It was
only after the decisions were ren
dered that the market, picked up.
Part of the day's butlnesa was dun
to the blizzard In the West. Many
ot the buying orders have been
coming from that section and were
cut off.
Another helpful Influence was the
introduction of a bill tn Congress
amending the income tax hiw so aa
to cut out the unfair 8 per cent tax
on professional Incomes. The order
ot Director General McAdoo dou
bling demurrage charges on cars
also helped.
Decision that stock dividends were
not taxable aa Income opens the way
for the declaration of many dividends
of this kind. It also removes from
stockholders who have already re
ceived such dividend,.*?, the fear that
they would be unjustly taxed. As
the court says declaration of a stock
dividend takes nothing away from the
corporation and gives nothing to the
stockholder.
American Tobacco was strong on
official confirmation by the director-?
that tbe new issue of ?stock would not
be put out, but that dividends would
be paid In ? per cent script. This
script is to be exchangeable later for
stock. This plan Is adopted because
the company needs Its cash to carry
the large stock of tobacco at the
higher prices that prevail.
Action of the market was perfec.
? from a technical standpoint. Tbe
? wild advance that followed taking
I over the railroads by the President
'caused scores of traders to put stop
j loss orders under their purchases. The
' selling of one big account late in thi
? week uncovered some of tflfse stop
i loss orders which automatically un
j covered others. The reaction was
moderate considering tho ?advance.
Most market author! ti ?-s expect a
trading market with an advancin?
tendency.

Berlin dispatches made clear the So

utterances:
Philip Sheldemano. leader of the
majority: "We Social D? mocrate re
pudiate all Intentions of conquest and
stand by the unrestricted right of
s-i'lf-determinaUlon of peoples. We
musf hare absolute clearness on these

Dr. Hugo Haase. minority radical
leader: "The Reichstag must without
ambiguity interpret the principle of
self determination of all peoples.
Otherwise an early peace Is impos
sible."
One version is that the minority
Socialists sent the Bolsheviki a di
rect message advising them not to
accept the German terms and to
avoid a separate peace.
The press of France and England

"Would the ?ame plan be applicable

road? permanently 7" he aaked.
"Certainly not," snapped Kmtte- ;

railroad stockholders would agree to |

their full right? If the road? were to I

program wa? threaehed out at thi?
juncture, with Judge Thorn insisting
j the President will be obligated by the

1 pennation basis thre? year?. Senator
IPoindexter aaked Kruttschnitt to de
scribe any conference? he* or the rail
road war board or other railroad j
heads maj* have had with President '
Witeon.
The war board conferred with the
President som?? days ago. Kruttachhltt J
explained. President Wilaon describ
ing tjie compensation plan only In a
general way. He added that the
President said he had something in
mind "similar to the T?ritish plan."*
and that "the Presklent's talk to us
was most reassuring, very reasaajr
ing." Kruttschnitt said that none of
the railroad men d**clared their feel-,
in?p on the point of remuneration at
thia conference with President \T11
aassa.

Judge Thorn went further than
Kruttschnitt in his opposition to
President Wilson*? plan. Tbe rail
road.??, he declared, will fight to re
tain all their profits.
"If the government operates the
railroads ?wisely," he said. "the
stockholders' profit? would go to the
government."
Thia, he added, would not be fair.?
Thorn insisted the government had
robbed the road? of their right tg
control their own profits, and that
!they would certainly try to keep all
their own money in their own hands
and out of the government vault?
The fight will he renewed today
Senator Watson last night impressed
on Judge Thorn the importance of
bringing into the hearings evidence
to ?how that the railroads did not
fail of their own fault in the war
crisis. The Senator intends to play
up this evidence in his campaign
against government ownership.
Kruttschnitt will resume his testi
mony, and Rea of the Pennsylvania.
Srhriver of the Baltimore and Ohio
and other railroad executives will
be on hand to appear as needed.
Meantime, Director General Mc
Adoo or one of hi? new railroad
.-tnff will appear before the House
Committee on Interstate ?nd Foreign
Commerce, to explain the w.-rking
of the bill a? applied to the present
railroad situation.
George W. Andereon. of the Inter

WARMING UP THE MOTOR.
Every motorist who keeps his ? ar
in an unheated gara ?-e--and that
includes most of us?know??*, that
the motor does not run well until
it is warmed up. Most motorists
stem to believe that the beet and
quickest way to warm up the mo
for is to race it for a moment or
two. Really, that is the worst way.
Dut inp the night the oil has run
down from the cylinders Into the
trankrase, and by star'inir the mo
tor with a rush one is working it
I lard without proper lubrication.
! This Is. of course, injurious to the
1 mechanism. It is better to let the
I motor run sJowiy for a few _m
I menta until the oil has been
thoroughly distributed to the mov
ing parts?Milestone.?:.
OILING IN WHITE*.
?
Draining the oil from the crank- j
? ?.se and replacing it with fresh oil
?re<iuently is always good for a
toter, but ft is particularly essen
tial in cold weather. The steam
r a used by combustion u-ets past the
piston rings into the crankcase and
there condenses to water. The wa
ter mixes with the ?>rl and reduces
its lubricating value. In conse
quence a fresh supply of oil should
be put in place of the old at least
? once a month during the ?evere
weather. Eight and twelve cyiin
| der cars condense mote water than
fours. and particular attention
should he given to motor? of this
type.?Milestones.
