The board also announces that one Of
its objects is to enable the small ship

portion of the cars which the railroads

This is one Of the great troubles in the
car shortage problem. The big shippers
can get cars, and the small shipper is
cut out. One small shipper said the
other day to a state OFFICER: tit isn't q
scarcity Of cars that is the trouble; it Is
a complete absence of cars. If it was
simply scarcity, it would get a car now

man, who is on trial at Somervli'e' n.
j., charged with the murder OF George
Williams, of Watching, yesterday told
his story to the jury. He said that he

Williams or that he had ever seen him
to his knowledge. When the direct
question, "Did you kill George Will
