FAvoRs LEGISLATION.
Fl. c. Starr Talks Of Railroad Rate
Question

Mr.. Horace c. Starr, president of the
Travellers Protective Association of Amer
lea, has expressed himself as favoring the
enactment of legislation for unreasonable
and unjusty discriminatory railroad rates
and believes the question to be the para
mount issue before the American people
today.
Mr.. Starr when seen by Star reporter at
the Ebbitt House gave his views upon this
question and said he had come to Washing
ton for the purpose of comforting with sem
ators and representatives and urging the,
enactment of a bill providing remedy for
rate discrimination. I'VE stand squarely
behind the President in this NATTER said
Mr.. Starr and believe that indiscrimina te
power of rate-naking should be abolished
l had very pleasant chat with President
Roosevelt and many leading members of
Congress. Among members of Congress
generally l find sentiment which is favor
able, and these men seem to realize that
the people are back of this measure and
that there exists a general demand for
relief.
THE Travellers Protective Association
wishes to go on record as advocating an
equalization in railroad rates and eradicat-
ing discrimination between different sec
lions. We are not attacking the railroads
but are with the President for square
deal on this proposition. The personnel of
the T. p. A. is of such quality that the
railroads will recognize in the travelling
men of this country their best friends.
I'VE wish to go on record as favoring the
Townsend bill which is now before Con-
gress. This bill reaches the issue fairly
and squarely and empowers the interstate
commerce commission. after complaint has
been made and after fun hearing of both
parties. to decide whether a rate has been
unjustly imposed and providing a rate
which shall become operative, granting at
the same time the railroads to institute
proceedings in the court of transportation
sitting as court of equity.

ment was that the Washington symphony
Orchestra should play this work.
The last concert, son April 30, Verdi 8
Requiem" Is not changed at all, as that
came after the closeiof the regular season
OF the Washington ,Eymphony Orchestra
and the Boston Festival Orchestra was en-
gagged for the purpose.
Ine society, anticipating the possibility
! OF the orchestra's earay closing, which was
foreshadowed some weeks ago, made an
alternate plan and on Monday night put
into rehearsal the work under the change
OF plans. This contemplates giving con-
cert of miscellaneous sacred works with
piano accompaniment The chorus began
rehearsal on the favorite chorus by Mem
delssohn's Hear My Prayer" the words
from the Fifty-fifth Psalm. The women, S
voices will also give Schuberts Twenty
third Psalm, a very greatly admired COM
position. certain air of antiquity Will De
given to the program by giving two OF the
works of the old Flemish composers of the
sixteenth century, short chofuses on sacred
themes
The director, Mr. Kaspar. thought that 1t
was necessary to give the audience some
assurance of the good faith of the chorus
IN working on THE Dream of Gerontius,
and 1t has therefore been decided that the
program shall close with one of these
choruses, which can be given with piano
accompaniment. This includes beautiful
baritone solo, which will be sung by Mr..
Sydney Lloyd Wrightson.
Just what sooists will aid the society at
this time has not yet been decided. 1t is
