rlou-i One.
The Nebraska state Insane hospital
In Norfclk will sorely iciss Dr. II ,
Douglas Singer when he leaves the In
stitution September 15 to accept a

alent to $ n,000 a year. He takes

tion to its recovery or death. A lab
oratory will be established for investi
gations. The director will have a first

the hospitals for the insane In the
state will be sent to this institution

EFFECT OF RATE LEGISLATION
More Agitation , Less Traffic Conges
tlon , Says Southern Official.
Washington. Aug. 2'J. The probabli
adverse ellec' of state legislation oi
the property cf the railroads and th (
people ot the connirj was tno Katun
uf the testimony of Comptroller Plan
of the Southern railway in the Nortl
Carolina rate hearing case. Ho point
cd out that It a panic should rosul
fiom the lowering of past , ii.gor rate
the state of Ncrth Carolina wouli
1-ave to share the burden of respon
slbility.
Discussion of this phase of the con
troversy was brought about by :
question asked Mr. Plant by Mr. Jiu
tice , speaker of the North Carollni
legislature , as to whether there wa
congestion on the Southern rallwa ;
lines In North Carolina. Mr. Plan
replied that the congestion had beoi
relieved to some extent during th' '
last six months by means of improve
ments to the Southern system. Askei
if he attributed tbe congestion to th
recent act of the North Carolina legis
lature reducing passenger rates , Mi
Plant replied that the more rate legis
lation the loss congestion there wouli
11,0 , because legislation would have :
tendency to decrease business in th
country as a whole.
" 1 mean to say , " added Mr. Plant
"that the greater the agitation agains
the railroads of the country , th
greater the probability of a decreas
in general trade. "
The reason why the Southern ral !
way does not Increase Its facllltle
lor moving traffic faster than now , Mi
Plant explained , was that the Soutl ;
ern has not the cash to pay for sue ;
additional facilities. To get th
money for these Improvements , I
must go into the money market an
sell its securities. . "It cannot , " h
said , "find a market for securities i ;
the face of state legislation tolling t
reduce its rates below the point wher
it can earn the money to pay for th
necessary Improvements. "
Asked if he thought the railroad !
and not the North Carolina legislature
ought to fix the rate , Mr. Plant replle
that personally ho believed ther
tbould be a mutual understanding b <
tween the railroads and the public , a
be felt that the railroads and the put
He wore co-partners. "When one proi
pers , " he said , "tho other should pro :
per , " and there should be a mutur
understanding and an equitable a ;
rangemcnt as to rates.

to meet the approval of the reason
