Archduke Vi ho Slapped Ruler Dies in Bronx Johann Salvator, Nobleman Who Lived Under Assumed Name, Admits Identity on Deathbed. New York, April 1.—A man who said he was Archduke Johann Salva tor, who disappeared from the Aus trian court in 1889 and was supposed to have died in a steamship wreck a year later, died in a Bronx hospital Monday. New York City's official records show him to have been the former Austrian archduke, in spite of the fact that he had been reported to have died on many occasions, each time in a different part of the World, during the past 34 years. Convinces Doctor. Dr. John flrimley, who attended the distinguished looking old gentle man. said he was convinced his pa tients was the former nobleman be cause of his apparent intimate knowl edge of European courts. Death cer tificate signed by Dr. Grimlcy car ries the name of Johann Salvator, and not that of O. -N. Orlow, as he waa known here for 23 years, Mrs. Charles 11. Fairchild, a society photographer, said she had "discover ed" the one time archduke a year ago. She said lie had "admitted" his iden tity to her, telling her that the real reason for his flight from Vienna was tmT that he had blackened the eyes of Emperor Franz Joseph for applying a vile name to his mother. Having hrokpn his sword and thrown the pieces at the feet of his emperor, he told his hearers, he stalked from the palace, refused his soldiers' proffer to place him on Austrian throne, and left country for ever. Spread "Shipwreck” Story. Ho explained, Mrs. Fairchild said that he was responsible for the ship wreck story. This was to end for ever any attempt to have him re turned to Vienna, she said he told her. The Archduke Johann Salvator has heen a source of journalistic distur bances for many years. In 1909 a Jean Orth of Paincsville, O., machinist was "identified" as the missing prince. Three months later the "identifica tion" was withdrawn. The supreme court at Vienna officially decreed in 1911 he had died July 21. 1890.

The railroads are in that situation today. The 1923 net return for the whole country was less than 5 per cent. As of December 31, 1919, the Interstate Commerce Commission gave to the railroads a tentative valuation of $18,900,000,000. IVith ac tual figures for 1920, 1921, 1922 and with 1923 conservatively estimated as $1,100,000,000, there has been invested in the railways since this tentative valua tion a net amount of $2,371,583,000, making the value as of December 31, 1923, $21,271,583,000. On this amount the Railways in 1923 earned an ag greeate net operating income of approximately $997, !. 610,000. or 4.69 per cent. The Government guaiwntee of earnings expired August 31, 1920. If this guarantee had been continued—as re peatedly but erroneously claimed—the Government would ; owe the railroads more than a billion dollars. Last vear the roads handled a record volume of business, but could not earn the fair return of 6*4 per cent to which the Interstate Commerce Commission, under the Transpor tation Act. has found they are entitled. If the roads can not earn 5\ per cent in a BIG year, what will they do in a SMALL year? The Transportation Act provides that if a road in any year earns more than 6 per cent it shall pav one-half of the excess to the Government. The Art is, therefore, a LIMITATION rather than a GUARANTEE. Give Transportation Act Fair Trial The Transportation Act should he given a fair test and its merits judged hy the results of a normal period of rea sonable lenirth. The year 1923 was the first since the war under rendition* approaching stabilization. What the railroad situation demands just now is pot more law, but more confidence. The railroads have emerged from the welter of the war. restored their morale, made enormous investments of new money, and in 1923 handled a peak business with universal satisfaction. The Transportation Act is the only really constructive railroad legislation of a generation. Previous acts were al most solely repressive In framing the Act the public interest was paramount. The Art directs the Interstate Commerce Commission to “give due consideration to the transportation needs of the country and the necessity of enlarging railway facilities in order to provide the people of the United States with adequate transportation." Give the Act a chance. Don't amend it. If the roads are let alone they should make as good a record for effi ciency this year as last. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. ‘ C. R. GRAY.
