foster child and had a twin sister. She
came across some old letters. Theso
missives did not reveal where her sis

Bankrupt Roads, He Says.
NEW YORK. Sept. 11. F. O. Melcher,
vice-president of the Chicago, Rock Isl

here, calls attention to the serious na
ture of pendlnar railway legislation in
tended to safeguard employes and pas
sengers. He points out, for example.
that one bill introduced into Congress
requiring all roads to discard their
wooden equipment after January 1,
1912, would cost the railroads more
than $630,000,000. Other bills now
pending would require the roads to en
large their clearances at a cost of $444,
000,000 and to Install the universal
block signals at a cost of JJ87.000.000.
To comply with these three laws
would call for an expenditure by the
railways of $1,361,000,000. This is 10
per cent of the net capitalization of all
the roads In the United States, which
amqunted to $14,338,575,000 at the end
