2 SAYS RAILROADS LOSE ON MAILS UNCLE SAM'S POSTAL BUSI NESS UNPROFITABLE PRESI'DHNT OF SANTA FE EX. PLAINS COST TO ROADS Ripley Declares Expense of Car Mile age Exceeds Amount Paid for Use of Traveling Post, offices [By Associated Trees.] SANTA BARBARA, March 27.- E. I. Ripley, president of the. Santa Fe Hail way company, tonight, made a state ment here in response to a published statement regarding the cosl lo the government of carrying the mails. ■which statement alleges that the rail roads are charging the government ex tortionate rates. Mr. Ytipley said: "The statement that the government pays $12,000 a year for a car costing only $8000 has been many times made, and as many contradicted. The fact is that the government pays $1 u',ooo a. year for a postofflce on wheels, and for liandling it probably 4ft(l miles a day, with all its paraphernalia, Including from three to five employes, which puts an entirely different aspect on the matter. "The saving to the railroads from re duction in ear mlleagle if they were not obliged to furnish these traveling post offices would be many times the amount paid for the use of the cars. It is easily capable of. demonstration that the railroads are greatly underpaid for the services rendered the government. "The adoption of the parcels post idea would greatly increase the deficit of the department, and the inevitable result •would be greater concentration of busi ness in the larger cities, and the conse quent ruin of the country merchant for the benefit of the mail order business. The present deficit arises from extrava gant management and the absurdly low rate on various descriptions of printed matter." COURT'S DECISION STRIKES AT EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION Interesting Case Involving "Missing Link" Is Decided in Chicago CHICAGO, March 17.—Darwin's the ory of the evolution of species has re ceived a disconcerting blow in a de cision by Judge Windes that a "miss ing link" exhibited at a local animal dhow, is a dumb imbecile Louisiana negro boy. The court has awarded his custody to the mother. The. boy was called "Congo" at the show, and a graphic story was toN: of his capture at great risk In central Africa. Thousands of persons havo stared at him as a "cannibal," "ape man," and "wild half-animal savage." In reality, he is declared to be, de spite his grotesque face and head, do cile and harmless. His name is Wil lie Wilson, and his mother declared he wart kidnaped thirteen years ago. COLLEGE STUDENTS IN TEXAS CUT OFF BEARD OF THEIR PROFESSOR FORT WORTH, Texas, March i 27.—Because L,. A.

HARRIMAN HAS DAY OF SPORT WATCHES POLO GAME AND TALKS WITH FRIENDS DECLARES HE WAS NEVER IN BETTER HEALTH Railway Magnate Denounces Policy of Building Big Lodging Houses, and Discusses Much.

There wns a big farewell party at the illa tion as the train pulled nut. Tramps Through Mud Harrlman'a special train, carrying the party that accompanied him on his tun months' tour of the south and west, should reach the Atlantic coast within a week, if his present plans are. not changed. Apparently unconcerned with trans portation and finance Mr. Harriman spent the entire day at Burllngame, a few miles from San Francisoo, and while considerable of his time, was taken up in consultations with officials of several roads, the greater part of I the day was devoted to recreation. In the morning he tramped the muddy lanes that divide the country ; estates of the millionaire colony. In the afternoon ho watched a polo match at the Frank C. Carolan home and to night his entire party was entertained at a farewell dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Crocker. Through Louis Hill, president of the Great Northern, who has been closely associated with the llarrlman party during the past three days, it became known that today's conference related to affairs in and about Portland, and it was announced that the problem of terminals in that city had been defi nitely settled after years of effort, dur ing which time the Hill and Harriman Interests have held in abeyance im provements aggregating millions of dollars. During his stay in the neighborhood of San Francisco Mr. Ha^riman has flatly declined to subscribe to current rumors relating to the state of his health and his impending retirement. Disregards Reports When asked today if he contemplated the transfer of any of his duties and cares to a governing hoard composed of his lieutenants he said: i "] no longer pay any attention to reports of that character emanating from Wall street. You may recall that I have heretofore refrained from af firming or denying that particular statement and I do not think there will be any early change in my attitude." Mr. Harriman repeatedly declared his 1 health was not seriously impaired, and other members of the party, calling at tention to his reported .increase in weight, now said to be 135 pounds, sev eral times affirmed that he would re turn to Wall street In better physical shape than he has been for a long time. While the members of the party have seen little of reconstructed San Fran cisco since their arrival from the south, Mr. Hayinmn was disposed to criticise local business men because of the im mense amounts invested in office build ings. On this subject the railroad builder did not spare New York or Chicago, saying: Favors More Homes "Before the fire here people lived ill homes. Now the tendency is toward apartment houses and hotels—all tow ering structures. It has resulted in the wiping out of neighborhoods and dis- , I tricts as it has elsewhere. The sky- i scrapers in the business district result iin congestion, while it leaves vacant corners that should he the sites of ! buildings of more modest height "Tour office buildings should not be more than eight stones, and six would be better. New York and Chi cago- especially New York— have been ruined by adhering to this policy of erecting twenty-story structures, and San Francisco should avoid this mis take." When the subject of a union depot in Sim Francisco was revived hy one of the newspaper men he spoke some-1 what bitterly, advising lhat the people he educated to meet the Southern Pa cific company half way, and adding: "You cannot deny ihai. where we .make investments of this magnitude we add to values In the neighborhood. But when we have announced our In tention to buy or build there have been people put obstacles in the way or try to hold us up. "I am not prepared to say thai we have in contemplation any new projects Involving larjre expenditures, hul tln>| railroads will keep up with the pro cession." Ignores the Game Although Mr. Harriman was bo anx ious to witness h polo match by the players who participated al San Diego that he offered a special cup, his at tention was diverted from the Held when a large party nf visiting rai< road officials arrived at the club house.
