Willing to Admit Existing
Roads to Use of Pro-
posed Union Depot.
CHESAPEAKE BEACH MAY COVE IN
Conference Between Officers Of B. & o.
and Pennsylvania and Senate District
Committee-Similar Amendment to
Be Drafted Acceptable to Railways.

President Loree. of the Baltimore ant
Ohio Railway. and Vice President Green
Of the Pennsylvania Railway, were In
conference with the Senate District Com.
mittee yesterday regarding the union
railway station bill ard the Patterson
amendment that has temporarily suspend
ed the consideration of the bill.
No agreement was reached by the COM
mittee regarding the Patterson amendment
as a result of the conference except that
some substitute shall be made by the
committee less sweeping than that of Mr..
Patterson's amendment, but Of the sane
nature.
Would Admit Existing Roads.
The railway officials expressed them
selves as entirely willing to admit all ex-
isting railways to the union station. but
objected. as they put 1t. to providing
definitely for an indefinite future"
They stated that the Patterson amend
nent if adopted in full would place a
premium on the obtaining of railway
charters in the future by people that had
no intention of actually building railways.
The committee asked the railway Of
fcials to make a written statement of
their views on the subject as soon as
convenient.
1t is understood that they will draft
such an amendment as would be proper
from their point of view.
The bill will not be taken up again at
present Another meeting of the commit
tee will be held next week and probably
the amendment will then be prepared.
President Loree's personal statement to
the committee was that so far as the Bal
timore and Ohio is concerned. it would
prefer to go ahead under the present law
and not to have a union station.
A Contemplated Station.
He said that his company had contem-
plated building station to cost perhaps
100000 where the present station is To-
Gated.
This. he said. would be much the best
move. as far as earnings in the immedi-
ate future are concerned
He called attention also to the fact that
the Baltimore and Ohio now has the best
freight terminals in the District. and that
1t would lose the benefit of these largely
by the union station bill, and must pay an
immense price for new facilities.
Mr.. Green called attention to the fact
that seven lines will use the union sta
ton under existing contracts. He said
that the Pennsylvania would be glad to
have the Chesapeake Beach line use the
station IL it would simply notify the
Pennsylvania in time, so that additional
accommodations can be built.
Does Not Own B. g. O.
Mr.. Green stated very positively that
The Pennsylvania does not own the Bal
timore and Ohio. He said that it does
not own the majority of the stock. and
hat 1t has only four out of the twelve
directors Of the system. The Pennsyl-
rama directors are in control he said
Dut this Is only because the other di-
-ectors and stockholders are willing.
The members of the District Commit
ee were all present at the hearing ex-
;cpt Senator Wellington.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN
INAUGURAL DATE URGED

to be considered.
II believe" said Mr. mcfarland, "thera
will be a great disappointment throughout
the country IL this Congress fails to act
on the resolution
Representative jenkins said he didn' [
see how the doc- could be open to one side
| of the question and not the other mean
! ing a change in the date for the meeting
Of Congress.
To Be Submitted to States.
Representative Lanham suggested that
the whole question was one for the people.
and that the pending resolution only pro-
posed to submit the matter to the Leg
( islatures for approval
That is it," answered Mr.. Mcfarland
| Hon. James l.. Norris, who has been a
member of the inaugural committees for
many years. made brief statement be-
! fore the committee, urging that questions
foreign from the main proposition to
change jhe date OF Inauguration be elm
mated from the present consideration.
ALI Agreed on a Change.
On the matter of change in Inaugural
ticn Mr.. Norris said all the people were
agreed. and he did not wish to see the
resolution loaded down with questions
upon which there might be division of
sentiment. He urged speedy action in
order that the question might be placed
before the various Legislatures at their
next sessions. Some of them. notably
Alabama. he said, would meet this fall
and not again for four years.
Mr. Norris related his experience as
chairman of the inaugural committee
when President Cleveland was indicted
into Office on an unusually Indictment day
Mr.. John Joy Edson said that the re-
ports of the Weather Bureau showed that
the last Thursday OF April was much
more favorable than March 4. since 1870
and that the risk and health was great
deal less.
He did not think there was a question
before Congress more important. as it in
volved the health of thousands True. he
declared, it was matter of sentiment.
but the world is ruled by sentiment. Sen
timent, he said. made war even
Mr.. Edison stated he had seen every in
augural since Lincoln's second term, and
he told OF unpleasant weather conditions
which existed when Grant, Cleveland and
Harrison were inaugurated.
Question One of Referendum.
Judge jenkins. of the committee. sug-
gcsted that the matter of change was one
of referendum and not one which Con-
gress would directly authorize at
is also one which involves no principle
and no expense" said Mr. Clayton
All of the members of the committee to-
day seemed favorable to the proposition.
and it is probable that u report will
shortly be made to the House which will
enable that body to take some action.

WANT LAW REPEALED.
Minority Report Objects to Amending
the Bankruptcy Act.

minority report on the bin amend
ing the bankruptcy law. signed by four OF
the Democratic members of the House Ju-
dietary Committee, has been presented tc
the House.
The minority report strongly urges the
repeal Of the entire bankruptcy law. on
the ground that there is no necessity or
any general public demand for the longer
retention Of the law. which the re-
port continues, has tended to burden the
Federal courts with litigation which could
be just as well conducted by the courts
of the States" r-
When the bill comes up in the House
the minority will move to repeal the bank
ruptcy law.

THURSDAYS WEATHER INSTANCED
Commissioner Macfarland, J. L. Norris,
and John Joy Edison Speak for Pro-
posed Change-A Question of Referen-
dum-Committee Members Favor Plan

The House Judiciary Committee yester-
day gave a hearing TO the members of the
local committee who are urging a favor
able report on the joint resolution pro-
posing an amendment to the Constitution
changing the date of Presidential inaug-
urations from March to the last Thurs
day in April
Those of the local committee present
were Commissioner Macfarland, chairman;
Hon. James l.. Norris General Boynton
Hon. John W. Foster. MIR. John Joy Edson
Mr.. Thomas W. Smith, president of the
Board of Trade; Mr.. Charles J. Bell, and
Charles G. Glover.
The first speaker was Commissioner
mcfarland. At the beginning OF his re-
marks he called attention to the beautiful
weather of Thursday. which was the last
Thursday in the month, and compared it
TO the usual 18th Of March weather.
Continuing he said:
The Washington times. (Washington [D.C.]) 1901-1902, 1902-04-26
Mr.. Macfarland Speaks.

Mr.. Chairman: The National Commit
tee on the Proposed Change OF Inaugural
Day. composed OF the Governors of forty
five. States and Territories and fifteen res
idents of the District of Columbia, asks
that Inauguration day be changed to the
last Thursday in April.
THE perfect weather of yesterday is
our best argument. II stands in shining
contrast to the cold, stormy, and, there
fore. dangerous weather SO often oc-
curing on the 4th OF March. Inaugura-
ton day weather has been fatal in many
cases. and is liable to be menace to
the health OF the President and all the
other persons taking part in the inaug-
uration, as well as the spectators.
Public opinion all over the country as
expressed by the newspapers and by the
governors is practically unanimous in
favor OF the change of date. 1t is hoped
that the Committee the Judiciary will
act favorably on the proposition.
1T is especially desired that the COM
mittee may report promptly whatever
proposition seems in its wisdom most &C
ceptable, so that action may be had in
the House which may result In an agree
ment between the two houses before the
close of this session of Congress. IL Is
necessary that Congress should act at this
session in order that the State legisla-
lures may act before the next inaugural
ton.
THE National Committee offers no sug-
gestion as to any other question than that
OF the change OF Inauguration day except
that IL is expedient if any proposition for
the change in the term of Congress is
coupled with IT. IL may be Of such a
oh IN nd bp nf
two-thirds OF the House.
The desired change of Inauguration day
would have been made long ago but for
the complications caused by differences as
to the beginning or ending OF the terms
of Congress"
Guarantee for Good Weather.
At the conclusion OF Commissioner Mac
farland's remarks Representative Jenkins
wanted to know what guarantee the COM
mittee could give for good weather on the
last Thursday in April.
I'VE can give you the record for thirty
years" said the Commissioner. "and yes
terday was a specimen of the kind of
weather We have on the last Thursday in
April"
Commissioner Mcfarland stated in an
swer to a question that there was strong
public opinion in favor of the change in
the date of the inauguration. Tie commit
tee, he said. had letters from many of
the governors of States all indorsing the
Protection From Disease.
Mr.. Mcfarland, replying TO the chair
mans criticism. said 1t was not trivial
matter. Congress" he said. lis con
sidering a bill to protect the life of the
President, and it was equally important
that the Presidents life be protected from
disease as from an assassin"
