SERVICE ON TTIK NEW HAVEN.
. , . t '
Has Least Number of Trains liate As
Shown by the Official Figures. -
(From Press Bureau, . New Haven
, Road.)
The kind of service which , the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road, in the face of a persistent cam
pain of detraction by professional agi
tatprs, continues to give the" traveling
public is revealed in the figures com
piled by the New York State Public
Service Commission' for the months of
February and March. '
Instead of the New Haven's eervice
of passenger trains being inferior to
that of other roads these figures show
that if anything it is decidedly Better
and that in the case of the New Ha
ven there are marked improvements
which have been, made in January and
February, -whereas the opposite was
the case with most of the ffcading
railroads reporting to the commis
sion " - ... - '
In the number of trains operating in
New York state the New Haven stands
third on the list, of railroads. The
report of the commission shows that
in the month of . January " the New
York Central, -out of 26,-44 trains, had
18 per cent late; the Erie, with 7,417
trains, had likewise 18 per cent late;
and the New Haven with 5,432. trains,
had only 17 per cent late. The Dela
ware and Hudson, fourth on the list,
with . 5,347 trains, had -11 per cent late
in January.
- In February the v New: York Central
operated 23,466 trains, - of ' which 20
per cent were- late. The Erie operated
6,650 trains and also had. 20 per cent
late. The New; Haven operated. 4,930
trains and its percentage of trains
late was reduced from 17 per cent to
12 per cent. The Delaware and HuJ-i
son, operating 4,600 trains had 13 per
cent late. Figures for March show
that .. the New York . Central . had 19
per cent of its trains lata, the Erie 25
per cent, and the New Haven only 9
per cent. The" Delaware and Hudson
had 14 per cent late. It will be seen
from these figures that the New- Ha
ven, of the four leading railroads, had
the best record and was the, onlyro-ad
to show consistent improvement in the
figures for the three months.
These figures are for trains operated
in New York state only. On May 20
there were operated on the entire New
Haven system 2,140 passenger trains,
only two per cent of which were late.

BREWER EVERARD
SUCCUMBS AFTER
MAKING FORTUNE
Stamford, June 2 James Everard,
founder of the Everard breweries,
died at his home on Strawberry hill
late Saturday afternoon of a cimpli
cation of diseases. Mr. Everard was
85 year3 old. ;'
He had beeti an invalid for a num
ber of years and about two weeks agro
his condition became eerlous." He te
survived by his second wife and his
daughter, Mrs. Olga Williams. They
were with him when he died.
Jim Everard, the' brewer, he was
called, yet he didn't even know how
beer was made until he was nearly
50 years old. He grew up a poor boy
cn the Bowery, in ICew York. He was
a stereotyper's apprentice, a. compos
ing room devil, a typesetter, a mason,
a soldier in the Mexican war, a seene
shifter in the Park theatre, a. stage
carpenter, a policeman, a contractor, a
bank president.
He had climbed all these rungs and
made a fortune before he became a
brewer, and that was accidental. In
1876 his agent bought a. br,ewery at a
mortgage sale. Everard asked a friend
what h oueht to do -witra it. une
friend said. "Keep right on brewing."
Everard took the advice and .thus
started the great business which bears
his name.
REPRESENTATIVE AUSTIN' ,
AN ARDENT ADVOCATE
OF RIVER IMPROVEMENT
Washington, June 2. Representa.'
tive Richard W. Austin of the Knox-
ville, Tenn., district, who resigned the
consulate at Glasgow, Scotland, to
make the race for Congress, is an un
compromising advocate of river Im
provement, believing that water trans
portation is one of the solutions of the
high cost of living.
Realizing that antagonistic camps
are springing up in Congress looking
to the prevention of floods which de
vastated so large a section of the
country during the early mbnths of
the year and appreciating that diver
gent interests will endeavor to secure
legislation for pet projects during the
coming winter, Mr; Austin sounds the
key note for the advocates, of river
navigation.
- "We want . to flo in this country
what they are doing in Germany by
making every river that possesses
merit an artery for trade and com
merce. No transportation is cheap
er thah water "transportation and no
agency so effective for the reduction of
railroad rate3 as the establishment of
competitive water raten.
"As far as the , South is concerned
atad , especially Tennessjee, and tht
same thing will apply to. every section
of the country,, the' improvement of
our waterways means the develop
ment of our resources. - Let me cite a-
concrete case. At the, head waters
of the Cumherland we have coal, iron,
timber: and marble which could be
shipped by water, in their raw state or
in the finished product, to the best
markets. . It costs from $4.00 to $4.50
to ship a ton of marble or pig iron by
fail to- St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnat
ti and other . points in the Ohio .and
Mississippi Valleys, whereas by the
utilization of the Tennessee River the
same products could be shipped to
the same points at a cost of $1.50 per
ton, a saving of two-thirds.
"'The southern furnaces are unable
to ship their pig iron to ' the Pacific
Coast, China and England because the
railroad rate from Birmingham and
other southern points is $10.20 -a ton
The rate from China is $2.50 per ton
and from England $3.00 per ton by
water or a difference between $4.20
and $4.70 per ton in favor of our, for
eign competitors.
- "With the completion of the Fana
ma Canal and the utilization of the
southern rivers we would have direct
water transportation for the output
of the furnaces of the south to the
Pacific Coast and the rail rate of
$10.20 per .'ton on pig iron would be
changed Jnto a $2.0 per ton rate by
water, or a saving of $7.70 per ton.
"It is the solemn duty of Congress
to appropriate sufficient sums of mon
ey .to take in all the meritorious riv
ers of the country and by systematic
work make them do their measure of
trannportatlon either through locks
and dams or slack water navigation,
' "One of the crying mistakes of our
law makers is the insufficient amount
appropriated i for our rivers, necessi
tating long and tedious delays In the
completion of projects in every way
worthy of improvement.
"The development of the interior
waterways of the country should be
put . on a business basis by Congress
in order that the people of our day
and generation may be able to enjoy
the privileges of cheap transportation.
"It is with a good deal of shame
that I am compelled to say thatAmer.
ica is farther behind than any other
civilized country in the world in the
practical and useful development of
its interior rivers. If the Mississippi
had been located " in England, Ger
many or France it would have long
since had' a 30 foot channel with ef
fective methods for the - control of
flood overflows. .
"By the right kind of river improve
ments, the Clyde, which I have been
tbfd by old citizens of Glasgow was at
one time so shallow that you could
wade across it in summer, can now
float a Mauretanit with 30 feet draft
and thousands of vessels are passing
from thef ocean to Glasgow where
many of the world's biggest ships have
been built. They brought the sea to
their doors and work shops and if we
are wise we will profit by the exper
ience of these canny Scotchmen, we
will bring the ocean to our mines and
farms and factories.
