Pictured By Prominent Manuiactartr Touch, on Terminals and Other Heeds. The Real Estate AModsiion of the Bcffalo Chamber of Commerce, at ita noon-day luncheon today, waa addressed by John C. Bradley, president and general manager of the Pratt A.

Letchworth Company. Mr. Bradley spoke on the relation of the realty association to the Indus trial development of Buffalo. In leading up to his subject he was emphatic in the declaration that Buffalo has not tegun to reach ita destia-ed magnitude; that because of the city's location, ita rail and water facilities and other advsjatages It la bound to become one of the greatest centers of commerce aad Industry oa the American continent. To the realty men, he said fa due the credit of seeing into the future, the possibilities of vacant and waste places of the present and" carrying forward the progress of the city by ths development of euch stretches ot tM as their location -and associated surroundings and accessibility afford.

In this connection regarding the development of the city Mr. Bradley insisted there must be a community pf interests, that the various activities of the city must better understand ens another; that taxing manufacturers to a point where they are unable to compete with similar lines of industry in other cities is the evidence of a tack of a community of interests, "Manufacturers do not want to avoid paying taxes," said Mr. Thy are in favor of a fair and equitable tax and will meet their share readily but under a community of Interests ths other interests of the city should see to it that the manufacturers are not taxed to a point of driving busiasss otrt of the city." He added we are all one and what Interests one interests ths other. On the point of terminal facilities. Mr.

Bradley said that Buffalo has the trunk lines, the water routes and ths avenues of commerce now. but whether there are one or ten trains an hoar it not as material as tbe need of termiatl facilities to handle tbe business of these roads in keeping with Buffalo's growth. Mr. Bradley said the strings have got to be taken off of the railroads a to rates and deterring legislation so that they will be able to attract investors to get the money for ears, locomotives, other equipment and -luminals. Locomotives today, he said, are costing as high as $42,000 that a few years ago were purchased atr cars costing $8O0 then are costing $2,000 now and in the face of this th carriers are being held back as to needed advances in rates.

Buffalo Is interested in this, he said, becaoss aa matter how wonderful are the beauties and the location of Buffalo ths city to expand must have its rail and water carriers doing business on a rss-sonsble basis. Coming to the chief Ue between the manufacturer and tbe realty men. be said that the employers experience better co-operation and interest In their wura uu Lac pan ui euipiuci wau home owners than those wo are not; that the man who is buying or has bought a place for himself and his family takes a more responsible place in the life of the community, and that to this end in making it possible for works to buy their own places ths realty men are indeed doing mock tor the Industrial life of the city.

The Southern Pacific Railroad Company announced here today receipt of advices that the U. S. circuit court of appeals at Salt Lake City had rendered a decision in favor of the Southern Pacific in the suit of the government to com- pe' the company to sell its control of thfc Central Pacific Company.

The opinion in the case was written by Judee Hook, it was said, Judge San born concurring. Judge Curlin dissented. The suit was brought In February, 1914, the government alleging that the operation of the two roads under the same management resulted in a viola tion of the Sherman law and of what is known as the Pacific railroad law passed by Congress in 1S62, designed to provide continuous connected lines from the IMssouri river to the Pacific coast with equal advantages to all other railroads. Salt Lake City, Utah, March 10. The decision against the United States gov ernment in its suit to compel the Southern Pacific to sell its control in the Central Pacific railroad sets forth that the two roads were operated on a continuous and that all the requirements regarding trains, schedules, freight and passenger conveniences has been met.

As a result the decision, a copy of which was received here today by Clerk John W. Christy of the fed. eral court of this city from St. Louis, where the decision was made, states there is no evidence to support the petition of the government. The decision was not an unanimous one, Judge Carland dissenting.

The same Lord that told Peter how to fill his net, must do the same with us or our efforts will fail.

It is a fact that God made laws which it we violate we will suffer. "God never works without a plan. Everything in nature shows that. When He created the universe He had a plan for every star; when He made the world He planned everything that He put in it.

Mr. Sunday In his sermon this afternoon said: "I cannot recall anything that Peter ever did which was prompted by cool, level-headed judgment. In the first place, his hair was the wrong color to make him a man of deliberate action. It is said that his hair was red. He was big-hearted, impulsive and had the courage of a lion.
