POSSIBILITIES
OF PORK BARREL
IN RAILCOMTROL
Railway Age Points Out Great
Political Leverage in Govern
. ment Operation of Amer
; .lean Lines.
The possibility of the railroad ad
ministration's revolving fund as a
pork barrel have already been scented
from afar by many eager citizens and
their constituted representatives,
lome inspired by local pride and in-
J in 1nra inmrnvflTlf nil at na
tional expense, and othert merely en
thusiastic over the possibilities in the
way of increased transportation effi
ciency to be derived from the ex
penditure of a few millions in places
which orivate capittl has not regarded
as promising fields for investment,
'aay the Railway Age in its current is
oe. ; . .. "
"While there is as yet no indica
tion that the railroad administration
proposes to allow the large ,funds at
it disposal and under its controj to
(nr cxnenditures in
parti of the country where it will do
the most gooa pomicaiiy rosic.u
from railroad standpoint, many of
the ame people who have been active
in soliciting and procuring appropria

slow to perceive the possibilities along
that line anoraea oy me iaci mi
government is now administering the
railroad. The announcement of the
railroad budgets amounting, to $938.
000,000 that had been approved by the
division of capital expenditures, to
gether with the invitation to the roads
to apply to the division of finance and
purchases for loans if necessary, has
opened up a vista of new opportuni-
t,e1' Advice From Office Holder.
"Even before the budgets were an
nounced the office of Judge Lovett,
director of the division of capital ex
penditure, was the recipient of much
advice from senators and congressmen
as to where railroad improvements
were imperatively needed. Thus tar
it list been possible to give such p
ikanu the reply that capital and la
bor are limited on account of the war
?nd that expenditures must be con
fined strictly to necessities. As a re
sult the budgets as - recently an
nounced were in the, form in which
they were made up by railroad officers
a revised by the regional directors
and approved, by the division of
capital and. expenditures according to
the principle of railroad ' efficiency
and with recognition of the fact that
the country is engaged in a war.
"But many members of congress
who hardly knew where the Inter
state commerce building was, have
been seen in its vicinity of late at the
head of targe delegations who knew
oi excellent project which might be
mmA W Avrnmcnt loan to a
railroad whose own credit would not
stand the strain. Senator bhafroth of
Colorado thus appeared with a dele

"Applicants for money for projects

Washington, June 6. News of the
sudden death of Brigadier General
Robert E. L. Michie in a railway train

When General Scott visited the
Mexican bandit chief, Francisco Villa,
and when he conferred with the Mex
ican authorities' at El Paso, General
Michie' assistance was of great vanie.
He also accompanied General Scott
with the American mission to Russia
last year. He was a native, of Vir
ginia and was 54 years old.
