i .V 11- era eepiy NEW BERTO, FRIDAYJJUNE 12,1914-SECOND SECTION V-' .- r .'Off , :: jit , - tt." . :. :,'4 TABES OF NEW BERN TO BE 0W BEING VALUED PUBLISHED SOI Interesting Booklet To Describe " ' City In Detail. IS NOW BEING COMPILEl Past History And Future Prospects . K To Be "Written Up" In An Interesting Manner. . Daring the past few years therr have, bean a number of booklets de ( scribing the advantages and resource; of New Bern published and each one has been of real worth in helping ad vertise the city and place it before the public. There was one detail lacking in each of these books and this was that they . were not of large enough volume to permit of going fully into the past history of the city and its future pros : pects. To be doubly interesting a booklet of this kind must be' compiled in such a manner that will attract the attention of the readertftfthoftfeit from start to finish and make such a ijasting impression on him that after - reading the volume, he will have a desire to visit that place described. New Bern's Chamber of Commerce, which is doing a great work in placing the advantages and resources of the city before the public, needs such a book to .send out to prospective settlers when they ask for information con . cerning this city and surrounding sec tion. The cpst of such a volume will be large and the organization does not ' feel like taking the money from the treasury just at this time for that pur pose. i , However, they arc to have the book and it will be one of the most complete volumes of Sts kind ever issued in North Carolina. After conferring with several of the officers of the Chamber of Commerce, H. K. Land and H. I. Crumpler have decided to compile and publish this boqk and to give the organization two thousand copies,- ab solutely without a cent of cost to them. The proposed book will contain a hundred br more pages, will be printed on the very finest grade of paper and will be profusely illustrated with photo graphs of the principal places of in terest around the' city. A number of maps of the city and county are also to be re-produced in the volume and it will in fact be a complete history of the city from its founding to the pre sent time. There will be no display advertise ments in the entire volume. The ad vertising being confined entirely to write ups of the various enterprises and this will be a decided feature and quite different from the usual method used. The work of compiling the book isWw in progress and it is hoped that it will be in readiness for distribution the latter part of next month.

The Norfolk Southern Railroad, having been chosen by the Valuation Board of the Interstate Commerce Commission as the first railway sys tem within the South Atlantic Districts to be examined with a view to valua tion by the Government, a special corps of engineers under the direction of Assistant District Engineer El more has been busily engaged for the past several months in the task of going over the property with a view to submitting a report on its worth. Mr. C. K. Conard is appearing for the Norfolk Southern and the investiga tion is being conducted along the strictest and most scrutinizing meth ods imaginable. For the first two months, the cbrps of engineers made their headquarters in Charlotte while they were engaged on the new line that extends from Charlotte to Mount Gilead but now they are quartered in Raleigh and are working West and East. It is expected that at least 18 months will be required to complete the undertaking which for multitude of details and complexity of require ments has no equal - anywhere in the country. These experts are making a thorough examination of the property of the railroad in order to arrive at what hould constitute a fair extimate of its value. They are required to secure profiles, charts and every other record of information from the railroad au thorities bearing upon the road and then check over every item. In the prosecution of this task they have to figure acurately every bit of yardage of earth and stone removed, every square yard of fill erected, all culverts and bridges put in and every other construction. They are not al lowed to accept the figures or esti mates of the contractors but are com pelled to do this work themselves. It is ordered that there be ascertain ed the "original cost," "original cost to date," "cost of reproduction new," cost of reproduction less deprecia tion, and they are also required to take cognizance and figure in dollars and cents "other values and elements of value." It will thus be seen why the ex perts themselves figure that 10 months will be required to complete this task on this relatively small system, em bracing only about 600 miles and ex tending into two States only. With the larger and more firmly established systems, such as the Southern, Atlan- Coast Line and Seaboard in the territory, where the other values and elements of value" are more difficult estimate, it will be readily seen that a much longer period will be re quired. Purpose of Valuation. The act of Congress directing the valuation of railroads was signed by the President March 1, 1913, and is therefore a comparatively new thing. It simply directed the Interstate Com merce Commission to make a "valua tion of the railways" of the country but did not state the purpose of such valuation. It was generally regarded at the tune by those promoting its passage that the results would be valuable elements in the adjustment rates. It was designed also to protect investors and determine wheth er or not, as so frequently charged, that many of the railroads are grossly over-capitalized. However that may be, the Interstate Commerce Com mission, through this Valuation Board divided' the country into districts and placed over each district certain offi cials to direct the investigation. The district of which North Carolina and Virginia is part, is the One which this section is immediately interested. Norfolk Southern Chosen The Norfolk Southerq, according to best posted i-ontrthe shuatfon was first chosen in order to enable the e-gineer employed to learn their business because' it offered alrthe v rious elements that . would enter into the work when the larger and most difficult problems, such as those- pre sented by the older roads, Would be encountered. Thus the Norfolk South em has new lines as wsll as old: it serves the seacoast an . expert bus! the ness as well as an admirable trade, and it it neitl ef tx large nor toe small for the service. In other words, would serve as an admirable proposl tion for a beginning. ; In this work thj Government has Its engineers and the railroad also, the idea-bel.ig to ar rive at a just and proper estimate to all parties concerned. - J What It Involved, t Jfust what la Involved in this) general prppwitiwj k difficult to Mllnat Tkat'there has been a change ta senti meat of recent years along this lint is admitted by economists everywhere I he idea under private ownership by those interested, is that so long as the rates of a railway are reaaoaablt that is, so long as each specific rats is reasonable for the specific service Is which it applies. The railways i cmiueu 10 wnatever pront carrisq as such rates will yield. The new idea is that the railways, being really public service corpora tions in that the service they render benefits all producers, all distributors and all consumers therefore every body that they are performing pub lic service which is essentially a gov ernment function, that they are there fore merely agents of the public and therefore accountable for the dis charge of their duties In all details Therefore the Government should see to It that capital value should be ac curately ascertained, that rates should be adjusted accordingly, arid further more that profits should be limited to the preconceived, accurately estimated standard value. There can be no question but that this new idea is radical and contrary to the preconceived ideas of the Gov ernment when it was thought that free competition would correct what ever trade abuses might arise. The fact has been admitted of recent years that competition in the larger and more important units of commerce has ceased to exist and hence the undermining of the original doctrine of government which was that of in dividualism. However, tnat may be, the Govern ment is engaged in valuing the rail roads which is all that appears at present on the surface of the situa tion, speculating of the future being wa varied as they arc complex. Whe ther a reduction of profits would ac complish much in the way of reducing rates is a question of the statisticians to determine. IE I5MAY LIVING A SAVED HIMSELF, WHILE WOMEN AND CHILDREN DROWNED. W"2I.-SIARBJiCLUSE. (Special correspondence. ) COSTELLO, GALWAY BAY, IRE LAND. Where is Bruce Ismav? During two years the director ar raigned for the tragedy of the Titanic has been missing from the world he knew. The captain of the lost liner is supposed to have gone with his ship, the first mate ended his broken life and Bruce Ismay, shouldering his way into lifeboat and onto the deck of the res cue ship Carpathla, sailed to safety and the overwhelming disgrace of the con gressional and the British admiralty in quiries. Then, of a sudden, he diasppeared. Rumor whispered that his one-time friends avoided him; that 'club com mittees desired his resignation, even that his mind had failed under the" ter rible strain. Englishmen have scant sympathy for a coward. Few men would be willing to live the life that Bruce Ismay saved from the sea. No longer a steamship magnate, no longer a Beau Brummel in Belgravla, suddenly "among the missing the question of his whereabouts assumed the significance of a mystery. Meantime the lost director was living (hiding were a better word) In a remote house on Cols Fhalrrge, at the Heel of the Sea. The loneliest road In Ireland runs from Minna to Costello along the shore of Galway Bay. Sheer moor, quite tree less, bleak beyond words, hardly a stone cabin In eight, and no path but the straight mail, road. M6re sterile than Donegal, more pitiful than Clare, the strange network of gray land and grayer water constitutes the country of Iar Connacht. , In the heart of this Irish wilderness a solitary lodge shows white against Its surroundings patch of green. A locked gate forbids entrance. Sheumas, the old jarvey, flourishes an accusing whip lash through the teeming rain. "Look there where he hides in. misery and shame. Never a gentleman have brought here but was turned away from the very door. Money he has and all that money will buy. But he cannot shake off the memories ,on hit mind Day after Day he must hear themthe shrieks of drowning men' crying down the wind. This is his curse. What he did will be remembered until the Titan ic is forgotten. "Lonely enough the place Is.

MANY VESSELS WRECKED Property Loss Is Estimated At More Than A Million Dollars. (Special to the Journal) ST. JPHNS, N. B., June 8. The worst storm in the history of the New Brunswick coast swept over this section today and in consequence more than thirty fishing vessels were wrecked and a hundred or more lives were lost. For several days the weather haf been threatening but not until early this morning did the gale break in all of its fury. The vessels which wen wrecked were out on fishing expedition;, and their crews were unable to got them back to shore. The majority of those killed were crews ot the vessels. I he property loss is estimated ,at more than a million dollars. The Drought is Doing Great Deal of Damage GROWING CROPS IN CRAVEN AND ADJOINING COUNTIES ARE DRYING UP. Reports continue to reach New Bern of the damage being done by the drought which has prevailed over this seclioa since the first part of May. , Rain had , been predicted for the latter part of last week and the farmers have been living in hope that this would materia lize, but so far this has not been the case Plant life all over Craven, Carteret Pamlico, and Onslow counties is being injured. Particularly are Irish potatoes suffering and it is said that the crop has already been considerably decreased on account of the lack of moisture. Cab bage shipments have also been notice- bly small and this fact is also attribut ed to the extremely dry weather. The forecast for this week is for dry weather and this has caused much anxiety on the part of the farmers and truckers. This M'niature Range To Be Given Away BASNIGHT HARDWARE COM PANY ARE CONDUCTING NOVEL CONTEST On display at the store of the J. S. Basnight Hardware Company is one of the "cutest" little miniature Buck. ranges ever seen in New Bern. The range has been admired by many and not a child has seen it but expressed the desire to become its owner. The range is to be given to some little girl under twelve years of age. Be ginning yesterday the company is giving votes for every penny spent at their store and on the night of July 17 the young lady holding the largest number oi votes win De tne proua owner of the stove. The little range must be seen l be appreciated and an invitation is ex tended every little girl to inspect it and also enter thi contest at once. Church Man Skipped Out With Cash THE SECRETARY COMES UP MIS SING AND BISHOP'S SALARY IS UNPAID (Special to the Journal.) DENVER, June 8. The Episcopal dljcese of Colorado is bankrupt. The sum of $32,000, supposed to have been in the tr?asury, Cannot be accounted for and Bishop Charles F. Olmstead, who is supposed to be paid $7,500 a year, can not get his salary. Church officials to-day sought In vain to find A. A. Bowhay, diocesan seer tary. Bowhay two weeks ago resigned but his resignation has not been ac cepted pending an Investigation of the church's financial affairs. The Episcopal . dioceses of Colorado formerly owned property In Denver worth $500,000. Part of this was In the heart of the business district. The pre sent shortage and the losses, it II as serted, resulted from a deal with the Champ Street Investment Company, An appraisal of the dioceses property made recently and reported to-day ac counts for only $129,000 worth of pro perty.

No word has been received here I BRYAN'S LECTURE TOURS SUBJECT Representative Britten of Broadside. Uli- nois Fires SPARES NEITHER PARTY Has Bill to Prohibit Cabinet Mem bers And Congressman From Lecturing. (Special to the Journal) WASHINGTON, June 9. Secretary Bryan's lecture tours cropped out in the house again today when Representative Britten,, of Illinois, Republican, intro duced a bill to make a penal offense for any cabinet officer, head or clerk of a government department to lecture fur p8,y Other than actual hotel and trav el ing expenses, and to prohibit senators representatives from lecturing for pay while Congress is in session. Of fenders would be fined $10,000 or im prisoned for two years or suffer both penalt'es. , Mr. Britten lauenhed a broadside in a statement accompanying a bill, in which he spared no political parly, and ncluded Senator Lafollette and Repre sentative Murdock. He said: "This bill was prepared last Septem ber, but was not introduced when Sec retary Bryan formerly declared that he would lecture no more during the period. The recent announcement from Philadelphia that several members of Congress and the distinguished sec retary Bryan had signed contracts for period of lectures beginning July is responsible for my bill. "I am at a loss to understand how the secretary can consistently leave his ffice when a state of war practically exists between this country and Mex ico and the foreign policy of aur gov ernment is being laughed at liy every civilized nation on earth. This certainly is no time for Mr. Bryan to be hiking around the country doling one-night stands with the Tyrolean yodlers, contor tionists ans sleichl-of-hand artists, and am equally opposed to members of Congress doing this sort j( thing when Congress is in session. fhe Philadelphia annotiiu eni.tit de clared that Secretary Hryan, Senator Lafollette and Congressman Murdock had signed contracts for lectures begin ning July 1. Speaker I lark last year , cancelled contracts at a loss to him, ol $10,000 on account of his aversion to going away from Congress. I purpose to ask the house judiciary committee for a hearing with a view to some action along this line." Secretary Bryan announced some time ago that all his lecture engagements for the coming year were contingent upon the state of foreign affairs and whether We etild he absent from Washington.
