RAILROAD HEADS \.
FOR RATE REFORM
White House Conferences Give
Big Railway Men an Idea
and They Get Together.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Dec. 22.-Since the visit
Of President Fish Of the Illinois Cen
trail, President Cassatt Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and j. P. Morgan Of
New York to Washington, letters have
interested in railway legislation from
several men prominent in other big
trunk lines upon the subject Of pro
posed legislation for governmental reg
ulation Of railway rates. These letters
are said to be uniform in tenor and to
indicate that the big railroad men are
in sympathy with the plan for the gov:
eminent taking hold of the question Of
Arbitration of rates-not, initiatory fix
ing of them-if at the same time the
legislation would relieve the big roads
of some of the evils Of classification
determinations are now practiced by
smaller roads, and if some latitude in
the way Of pooling were allowed the
railways. -..,. .. o.. -..-.----.'- j.
It is stated at the capital that Pres
ident Roosevelt, if he had it to do
over again, would probably modify his
recommendation to the extent of not
specifying the detailed method Of &C
complishing the reform, but merely urg-
ing in broad and general terms the de-
STABILITY Of legislation to a certain
end.
Moody Has Plan.
The problem Of how to secure legis-
lation which .effectually will prohibit
railroad rebates and unjust rates will
probably be studied by a joint com:
mittee of the house and senate, which
will sit during the summer and present
a bill to the next congress, This is the
PLAN proposed by the president. and At
,torney General Moody, and the house
and senate leaders have approved.
The question is so complex, that 1t
cannot be quickly disposed of, Mr.
Roosevelt thinks, without danger Of in.
Justice to either the railroads or the
shippers, and no legislation will be at
tempted at this session. '"71. s. r.
Mr.. Moody's bill for the fixing OF
rates and the prohibition of rebates
will not be, completed for some time
one. .:- ., ,* -.
Mr.. Moody does not believe that one
tribunal can be given both. executive
and judicial authority, and his bill
probably will provide for a court Of
three or five members whose decision
shall be final in fixing rates and in al
other railroad matters. The interstat,
commercs commission will be continued
and it will constitute in practica
sense the lower court: It will hav.
power, as, now, to declare rates which
are complained of to be unfair and t.
suspend them. If the railroad thel
does not establish rate which tn
commission considers fair it will appea
to the court, which will have power t
fix rates for the future. The commits
sion will appear before the court in tn
role Of prosecutor Of the railroad.
Secretary Morton, the president
railroad: adviser, and E. P. Bacon o
Milwaukee, chairman Of the executiv
committee Of the Interstate Commerc
Law association, conferred with tn
president today on the subject. Nj
Bacon is well satisfied with the progress
that is being made and with the att
tude of the administration. - *

storie. FOR the Little ones.

Every mother should put aside one
hour day in which TO read or tell sto-
ries TO her children. 1t is best to have
the same time every day. In many
homes where this has been the rule
from babyhood the story hour is looked
forward to by the children as the best
one OF the day. Often neighbors' chill
dren are gathered I'm, and valuable
missionary work may be done in this
way for children whose mothers do not
or cannot take time TO read TO them.
In families where the children are OF
different ages and sexes II is sometimes
a difficult problem to find books which
will interest all. but by little judi
cious selection this can usually be man
aged, and the mother can direct the
child's own reading along the indiyid-
ual lines which have special interest
for him.-Chicago Tribune.

Boston is known to be the most fas-
tidious market for all kinds OF food
products and especially for poultry
and eggs" says A. t. Hunter In Relia-
BILE Poultry Journal. III you have got
an extra fine article send IL TO the Bos-
ton market. You'll receive the highest
price for II there" is the motto OF the
growers Of the very best poultry ev-
erywhere. With eggs II is the same.
Ii is only necessary that they be up to
the desired standard OF freshness. size
and color for them 10 receive sub
stantial premium over the regular
price. Take, for instance. the month OF
August when fancy new laid hem
merry" eggs sold at retail az IS cents
dozen and at wholesale at 80 cents a
dozen.
Boston takes the lead I'm New Eng
land. or. rather, where Boston leads
New England follows, and as poultry
meat and eggs are the finest articles
of food in common use Ii is not sur
prising that New England annually
consumes enormous quantities of these
two food products. How very great
the quantity is, however, will be as
tonishing 10 any one not familiar with
the conditions OF the food supply Of a
grea. consuming population such as
New England has now come TO be. The
time was, and not SO many scores of
years ago, when New England was
self supporting. the farm lands in
the ncighborhood OF its cities and
towns furnishing the food products TO
supply the needs Of the local markets.
But there has been great change In
conditions The rapid growth OF man
ufacturing cities and large towns has
greatly multiplied the numbers of con-
sumers, with comparatively little, Il
any. increase in production. New Eng
land now has TO buy many millions OF
dollars worth OF food products an
nually from the great producing sec
lions of the west, and in no one line
of produce is this change more evident
than In poultry and eggs.
over Sill 100000 was paid by Boston
for those two articles OF food last year.
The amount paid out for eggs was ST.
sl07 ,903.75, and the amount paid out for
poultry was 81, 506, Sl7.50, making to-
tai OF SILICA S1.25. And this great
sum was paid for poultry and eggs
coming to Boston by freight and ex-
press from outside the state. There are
considerable quantities OF both prod
ucts shipped direct to hotels, restau-
rants and private families or brought
to the city from nearby towns and de-
livered directly 10 customers that do
not appear in the chamber of commerce
returns. from which the above figures
are taken. There has been a rapid In
crease In the consumption of eggs and
poultry, rs the chamber OF commerce

Considerable controversy RACES at the
present time around the question of
flannel for babies. The majority OF
authorities upon the subject assert that
this fabric should always be worn next
the skin, while others say that some
babies cannot bear flannel. With these
latter I have learned by painful expe-
rience to agree. says a writer in Wom-
ans Home Companion. Examine un-
der microscope the softest flannel ever
made. The wool fiber looks like spears
and flshhooks. Imagine the effect on
little baby's skin. Now, II Is true that
nothing protects from drafts and
changes of temperature so well IA fan
mel. IL is also true that nothing avail
able for babies is so soft to the touch
as linen. Combine the two. Make the
abdominal band with a linen lining
and have both linen and flannel shirts
II necessary.
