Presidents RecOmmendutIOn VIII Not
 Re Acted On.
 Washington, Dec. 12.-Doubt is ex- pressed by some of the best informed members of congress whether legisIn- ton conferring power on the interstate commerce commission can be enacted at the present session.
 In addition to the definite opposi- non to any measure of the kind that ex- lsts, there also has developed a diff ference of opinion among some of those friendly to the proposition, as how best to carry the recommendations of President Roosevelt into effect. The president is earnest in his desire that such legisla tion as he has recommen- ded be enacted, but he appreciates the difficulty of securing it's enactment at a short session of congress.
 Senator Cullom of Illinois and Senator Ankeney of Washington talked briefly with the president today about the matter. Senator Cullom said that such legislation as the president had recommended had been considered by the interstate commerce committee of the senate but that it never had got ten beyond the stage of consideration In the committee. It never had been

MEETING OF RAILROAD PEOPLE IN
 WASHINGTON.
Consulted with Commlssioner Sargent h Regard to Plan to Turn Tide
 Toward the Southern States.

Washington, Dec. 12.-(SpeciaL)- What at last looks like progressive steps to divert immigration southward were taken today through the initia- tive of a number of passenger and inn migration agents representing South ern Railway systems.
 A Committee of these gentlemen ap- pointed at meeting held in New York October P, today conferred with Im- migration Commissioner Sargent and the discussion was interesting. The Committee consisted of George H . Smith. General Passenger Agent of the New Orleans and Northeastern, repre- senting the Queen and Crescent Route: A. H. Hanson, General Passenger Agent of the Illinois Central; J. F.. Merry, c. P. A. of the same; W. F. Danley, G. P., A. of the Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis; F. E Gue- dry, c. P. A. of the Mobile and Ohio c. A. Parks. Immigration Agent of Louisville and Nashville; J. W. White. Immigration Agent of the Seaboard Air Zine; William Mccoy. Immigration Agent of the Southern, and c. A. Cline Chief Way Clerk of tho General Pas senger Department of the Southern Railway.
 Commissioner Sargent greeted the Committee cordially and assured them of his sympathy. He said that at pres ent about 62 per cent of the immigra- tion remained in New York, Massachu- setts and Illinois ranking next in the immigrants obtained. The Commits sioner and the Committee discussed a plan that a bill to forward their ideas should be introduced in Congress. It contemplates the erection at Ellis Is- land, New York, at a cost of s150,oOo, of a building to be devoted to the in . terests equally of all the States, which are to be represented by agents on the spot. ready to give information as to lands, wages and the cost of living, the States to have space for offices and for exhibits of their products.
 The idea of the immigration bureau Is to give an equal showing to all the States and especially now to encourage the promotion of diverting immigration to Southern States. The difficulty now sthe absence at Southern ports of &C., commodations for immigrants such as landing places with houses for immi- grants detnined on account of conta- gious diseases or for other causes nec- essary in compliance with the immi- grafton laws.
 Chairman Smith said after the meet ing: T don't know what will come of this. but I feel we have made a rood start" R. H. Watkins.
