CENTRAL FREIGHT ASSOCIATION
A New Scheme to Perfect a Trans
portation Trust

NEW YORK, June ia proposition is
being considered by officers of roads on
Grating east of Chicago to reorganize the
Central Freight Association. which in
cludes all the roads east of Chicago and
st. Louis and west of Pittsburg and Ruf-
falo and north of the Ohio river. The as
ISOLATION is one of the Oldest of the traf-
hc organizations. Its chairman has OIL
most absolute authority in all matters of
rates and traffic arrangements and has
power to inspect the books of any line in
the combination to ascertain what rates
it is making to shippers.
1t is stated that officers of the indiyid
ual companies believe that the organiza-
ton is costing them too much money
ana that the results of the OUTLAY do NOT
equal the expenses. Cut rates are ouoted
daily, 1t is said, to the large shippers and
other concessions are being constantly
granted by certain members of the assoc
clatlon IN spite of the wide authority of
the ofhcers of the association, who seem
TO De powerless to stop these practices.
IL is believed that the usefulness of the
organization will be increased by a re-
duction in the number of sub-heads of de-
partments and other employees

SESSION IS
MPROBABLE
Governors Advisers
Against 1t.
DOLE HAS NOT DECIDED
Some Favor Special Legislature
After the Regular Election
is Held.

The advisers of Governor Dole are
generally opposed to a special session
of the Legislature. They have so ex-
pressed their opinions in conferences
with the Governor. AT yesterdays
meeting of the heads of the government
departments it was intimated that
there would absolutely be no such spe-
cial legislature session. Governor Dole.
however, has not yet expressed his
views on the subject. Upon him alone
rests the responsibility of calling the
session.
Secretary Cooper stated yesterday af-
ternoon to an Advertiser reporter:
eWell, I can say that as far as l am
concerned, and as far as the advisers
of the Governor have expressed them
selves, we are all against a special ses-
sion. Governor Dole, however, is free
to act independently of all expressions
of opinion
AS for myself I think it would ne
decidedly unwise to call a special SEES
sion, or special elections at the present
time. We are all in the midst of the
formation of our respective DEPART
ments and to have a special session of
involve every department in an endless
amount of work. Let the elections and
session of the Legislature rest until the
regularly appointed time. The depart
ments of the Territorial government
viii then be thoroughly organized and
running smoothly and we can then
stand the brunt of such stress of work
which always accompanies the session
of legislature
Governor DoleS council Yesterday
forenoon was attended by F. NJ Hatch
DR.. c. B. Wood and A. c. M. Robertson,
who came on special invitation to at
tend conference in regard to the spe-
cial session matter.
Private Secretary to the Governor
Halves said that Mr. Hatch expressed
himself as in favor of a special session
and Robertson against it, DIR. Wood
merely stated the position of the fire
claimants
Secretary Cooper does not believe
that the question of expense has any
real weight against the calling of a spA
cfal session. If special session had to
be called the expense would be a Sec
ondary matter entirely.
The discussion on this matter took up
most of the attention of the council

SENATOR PERKINS
TELLS OF GREENE
California Statesman Explains
How M. M. Estee Was
Appointed.

! SAN FRANCISCO, June Ex-senator
Perkins was asked about the Estee-
Greene incident and his attention was
drawn to the Alameda jurists criti-
cisms of the Senator
Il think Judge Greene acted in bad
taste, the Senator said, lin criticising
my actions. 1t was like a disappointed
litigant abusing the judge who decides
case against him, according to the
law and evidence but contrary to the
hopes of the litigant"
But Judge Greene asserted that you
voluntarily pledged yourself to assist
him in procuring the appointment"
Yes, l know; but 1 acted for the best
interest of the State. 1t is true that I.
with number OF others, indorsed
Judge Greene. and my Endorsement is
still on record. / have no reason or in
tention to retract it,
Then the Senator smiled genialIy as
he jolHingly remarked:
Judge Greene is too good a man over
IN our country. Alameda can't afford
to lose him. 1 voted twice for him. Do
you know of any reason why 1 should
regret my votes? l don't"
nc CNii1toi DeCdI1e serious, very
serious at this point of the interview.
Why don't Judge Greene get after
sthe other fellows?" he inquired. There
are, seven Congressman and another
Senssar from California and the Judge
has not criticised them I'd like to
know what else we could have done.

1T is true 1 mentioned the position to
Judge Greene and said 1 would indorse
him, and l did indorse him. Our con-
versation on the subject took place two
years ago, before the Hawaiian Gov

MooRs WANT UNCLE.
They Ask for a Tribal Protectorate
by America.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE United
the question as to whether or not it is
willing to accept protectorate over a
part of Morocco. The negotiations as
they may be called have commenced at
the State Department The Department
is very secretive about this matter for
the reason that the acceptance by the
United States of a protectorate of any
part of the Dominion of Morocco would
be opposed automatically by France,
and unless the consent of the Sultan of
Morocco can be secured, by that poten-
tate himself.
The State Department has been asked
to indicate in what manner the protecto-
rate can be made effective. The matter
is now before Secretary of State Hay,
but it will be some weeks before an an
swer will be given.
From what can be learned there are
five or six tribes of Mohammedans in
Morocco, who within few months will
become absolutely independent of the
Sultan by an old constitution. For many
years the tribes which occupy contiguous
territory have been paying an annual
tribute of about $50, 900 to the government
of Morocco. The period within which
this was to be paid was to be terminated
by the freedom of the tribes from the SUI
zerainty of Morocco. An agent of the
tribes is now in the United States, anu
he has communicated with the State De
partment recit;ng these facts and asking
that steps be taken to acquaint the Moot-
ish tribes with the probable action OF
the United States on a formal applica-
ton for an American protectorate.
The most important of the reservations
as to the protectorate is that the tribes
shall not be interfered with as to then
religion and that their polygamous prac-
tices and slavery shall not be abolished.
There seems to be warrant for the
statement that the United States would
not reject the offer on account of the
conditions suggested by the Moors. 1t is
probable. however, that the Department
will move slowly on account OF the stua-
ton of Morocco geographically before as
e,,n,ina such a protectorate. 1t Will be
necessary. perhaps, to sound the powers
controlling the Mediterranean.

WEATHER IN JANUARY.
Statements BASED on a Long Series of
observations.

Statements Based on n Long Series OF
observations.
The following statement has been issued
by Chief Moore Of the weather bureau:
The following statements are based on
average weather conditions for January, as
determined by long series of observations.
AS the weather of any given January does
not conform strictly to the average condi-
lions, the statements cannot be considered
as forecasts:
January is a month of severe storms in
the middle ATTITUDES Of the north Atlantic
ocean. Along the transatlantic steamship
tracks these storms set in with southeast
gales, which shift to west and northwest,
with freezing temperature. Westward-bound
vessels experience sudden shifts of wind
from the southeast and storms Of compare
lively short duration, and have prevailing
strong head (westerly) winds. Storms en-
countered by eastward-bound vessels are
fewer in number and of longer duration;
the vessels and the storms travel In the
same direction. Storms seldom appear in
the tropical regions Of the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans in January. On the north
coast of western Cuba, however, and in the
Gulf Of Mexico high and cold north winds
not uncommon during the winter
months.
In the lake region and the Atlantic coast
districts Of the United States the severest
January storms come from the middle west
and southwest, with northeast shifting to
northwest gales, and snow to the north and
rain or light snow to the south of the paths
of the storms. In the Pacific coast states
the rainy season is at it's height, and strong
gales occur from the central California
coast to Alaska. In the plateau and Rocky
mountain districts and on the great plains
the prevailing weather is fine and cold.
This entire region is, however, subject to
occasional cold waves of great severity,
which, with snow and high winds, sweep
southwark to New Mexico and Texas and
sometimes to the Rio Grande and north
ern Mexico, causing great losses Of stock
on the great ranges.
Frost is likely to occur in any part Of the
United States in January. and about once
in five years severe freezes occur in the
gulf coast districts and in central and
northern Florida
