CHICAGO, March 11.-Notice was given
by the Rock Island today Of withdrawal
from the east and westbound military
agreement and the dissolution Of the poel
probably will follow. The notice was given
after a consultation between the ofaclals Of
the company and although they refused to
give any reason for the action II was said to
have been taken on account Of the deter
mination Of the government to compel the
railroads to obey the law. Heretofore only
the freight departments OF the roads AVE
abandoned the pool agreements and the
Rock Islands move is the worst on the part
Of the roads.
The Rock Islands action may have some
effect upon tomorrow's meeting in st.

CHICAGO. March 11.-Important action
regarding mileage tickets was taken by the
western roads parties to the mileage bu-
reau today. Some Of the roads have been
gradually widening the scope Of ordinary
mileage tickets and practically made them
interchangeable by making them good over
other lines than their own. This gave the
roads whose lines cover every part Of the
country between the Missouri river and Chi
cago a great advantage over smaller roads.
They demand that they be permitted to
make their ordinary tickets good over con-
Meeting lines.
The matter was compromised by restrict
ing the sale Of 2.0OO-mile individual books
to lines on one system only. In order that
the smaller roads would not placed at a
disadvantage, 1t was decided that they might
use those tickets in lines over which they
maintain through car service.

ment to the owner or owners Of any vessel
of the United States duly registered by a
citizen OF the United states. would place
under the provision OF the bill the four

at Mr.. Frye. His desire. he said, wal TO
ascertain whether proper safeguards had
been thrown around the bill to protect the
government in the making of so large an
expenditure as Il proposed.
The c~olloquy which ensued developed the
fact that q coastwise vessel might register
At any port at which It might touch and
enter from that port the ocean-carrying
trade and receive a subsidy under this bill.
1t developed also that a vessel engaged in
trade between the United States and the
Philippines would receive the subsidy until
the coastwise legislation by congress- should
It be extended to the Philippines. After
ward no vessel engaged in the Philippine
trade would receive the subsidy.
Mr.. Frye explained that the subsidy be-
ing based on the classification Of vessels,
would be paid to ships without respect to
their age. the worth Of a vessel being de-
pendent entirely upon its classification.
At the conclusion Of the c~olloquy and
after reading a veto measure from the pres
