BIG EIRE IN MOUNT CARMEL
Practically Destroys Axle Works Form
erIy Owned by Willis E. Miller.

Late last night it was discovered that
the interior of the Axle works in Mount
Carmel, which were owned by Willis
E. Miller upto the time of his death,
which occurred short while ago, was
all afire. Owing to the wind the fire
practically enveloped the entire build
ing, and as the facilities for fighting it
were poor, building and contents were
nearly all destroyed. The fire made a
bright blaze which was seen by many
people some distance away.
Just how the fire started could not
be learned last evening. 1t is expect
ed that the loss is practically all COW
cred by insurance.

Tho Law and thc Llquor Tramc.

District Attorney JERoME's plan to
bring about the enforcement of the
Raines law as it is now is the most sensi-
BILE proposal yet made for the settlement
of seemingly intermnable controversy
in New York over the regulation Of the
liquor traffic.
Not until the law has been enforced
honestly and sincerely can it be deter
mined whether it is good or bad
It's repeal Is impossible As Governor
H1GdINs shows in his message, it IS
great revenue producer, having yielded
in 1904 nearly SIS, coo, 900 or over IS 200, 900
more than in 1903. 1t is nonsense to talk
about the Legislatures wipine out such a
law, whichever party holds the power.
1t is evident from the outglvlngs Of
some of the loudest opponents OF the
law that they have never taken tho
trouble 10 read either it or tho Penal
Code of the State They assume that
because improper resorts exist the law
should be amended But what reason
IS there for supposins these places can
be exterminated by mere amendments
or even by an entirely new law? Al
ready there Is enough law 10 shut up
every d.sreputablc establishment.
Mr. JEEoME's theory is that the en-
forccment OF the law rs ii stands will
bring about its amendment, and he may
be right, but nobody can say he Is right
tin the experiment hos been made.
1t is indisputable however, that If Mr..
JTEoNEs plan should be carried out and
the provisions of the liquor law enforced
rigidly it would be the first time the law
had really been put to a test since It was
enacted in 1895.
The Governor would extend local OPP
ton to cities, urd they ought to have it;
but there is a wide difference OF opinion
as to this local option, whether 1t should
be general for the city Of New York, each
borough should exercise it for itself or
each Assembly district should have the
>ption.
At any rate. the projection of the issue
INTO New York election would lend TO a
temperance agitation by far the most
violent the city has ever known.
In the meantime Mr.. JEEoME's advice
is sound. First OF all, enforce the liquor
tax law!

RECEIVER ASKS 100000 FEE
For His Services In Reorganlzlng the United
States shIpbulldlns Company.


United States District Judge William NJ
tanning heard at Newark yesterday an
application made by II. V. Lindabury, as
counsel fer James Smith, Jr., to have Mr.
Smiths services us receiver for the United
States Shipbuilding Company compensated
for by the award Of s200o
Mr.. Lindabury recited the difficulties
of the work and said that the company's
bonds sold for IA cents on the dollar when
the company was declared insolvent. and
now were worth n cents "a clear gain Tor
the bondholders Of upward of s5,ooo,oo0.
He told of the long journeys from Maine to
California Mr., Smith had been compelled
to make in settling the affairs Of the com
pany. spoke Of his genius in dragging the
wrecked corporation out of chaos anS
putting il In order, and declared that the
Zee asked would not be too much for the
great work that had been accomplishing
Attorney General Robert H. hcCarter,
counsel for the Sheldon reorganization
committee, said that Mr. Smiths compen-
sation might await the reorganization;
He was accompanied by W. =. Curtis ana
+. j. Pollack, representing the Sheldon
committee, and he said that the only thing
necessary at present was 70 fix Mr.. SMITHS
fees as master, and he made little of the
work that the former Senator did In THIS
service. He said that MI. smith had
really little work 10 do in either Office and
had been operating trust company and
big leather factory at the same time
All the money that passed through his
hands as receiver and master would not
exceed 81 ,l25 600, Mr.. McCarter said He
contonded that the plants were practically
nun by their own arrangements and that
Mr.. Smith did not visit the plants, take their
receipts and pay off the men, as he had been
appointed receiver for interiocutory pur-
poses only.

owners meetings, tho proceedings Of
which have already been cut and dried;
but if each shareowner would add 10 the
usual printed form something like the
following, there would be p reform:
This proxy Is given on the condition tina, the
holder OF Il shall not vote for any director who is
incompeten, 10 OK rates and who has not promised.
II chosen, diligently to do the work OF regulating
freight and passenger charges
1t is obvious that if the railway share
owners cannot find among their num-
Der, directors who will really direct the
details of rates. the Federal Government
cannot anywhere find men for the same
work. The railway can afford to pay its
directors rs much as the United States
will paw its officials to do directors work.
1t is absurd TO claim that n man will
increase his mental and moral power
to fix railway rates by accepting a Fed
eral ofiice-either legislative, executive
or judicial. Secretary MORTON has not
become less, or more competent to fix
rates, by accepting the responsibility
of conducting our naval affairs, nor is
Senator DEPEw more fit, as Senator, TO
to do that work nor even as ht-as when
he was at the head OF the New York
Central system.
II President ROOSEVELT can discover
men competent as Federal Judges or ex-
ecutive officers to take railway manage
ment out of the hands Of the owners Of
railways, certainly those owners can find
good experts TO be directors. If it is only
matter Of pay, the railways can, if need
be, offer salaries to the directors as al
turing as ten, fifteen. twenty. thirty and
even scventy-fve thousand dollars a
year. az now to a president Of the
board of directors.
The plan OF Senator ELKINs, and every
plan, seems based on the theory that
the railway is primarily, secondarily and
all the time TO fix the rates. But why
is it needed that the captains Of politics
be summoned to revise the work OF tho
captains of industry and constrain the
latter to do it properly?
1t is, no doubt, an infelicity and cause
Of prejudice among users of Western
and Southern railways, that the directors
are chiefly in New York, or Boston, or
Philadelphia, and hold meetings there,
and are thus inaccessible to complain
ants; but why cannot that evil be rene
died; How, it is asked, can New York
ers know, as they should the needs of a
railway in the Middle West or on the
Pacific Coast, and understand injustice
done. perhaps, to the patrons Of the road
by local station and traffic agents, and
preoccupicd general manager?
II may be worth the while of share
owners and present directors themselves
to look about and endeavor to dis
cover if they have not been the cause
of what is going on in Washington re-
gardlng railways. and Of the present
growing tendency to go there for poll
ticians to supervise and regulate railway
transportation.

DOVER, Del, Jan. Awhile the balloting
for organization continued in the Legisla-
ture to-day, the Addicks Assemblymen

that the fight and hold-up OF the States
legislative machinery is about over. There
was q tact understanding that by to.
morrow evening or Friday morning the
Legislature would be fully organized and
the Republican factions representing a
majority OF the Legislature are tonight
drawn closer together.
Governor-elect Lea's hand was seen for
the first time and this is what has changed
matters. He sent for and warmly well
coined at his Wilmington home delega-
ton of influential Addicks Republican

The Governor-elect told the bad boys 70
go back to Dover, organize the Legislature,
continue the work of uniting the Republi-
can party and he could be depended upon
TO do the rest. He even added that he
would appoint Kent or Sussex man for
Secretary of State, and that he had ceased
10 consider any New Castle man.
Many of his audi tors took this to mean
the tolling of the bell over Secretary Lay
toms prospects, and for this reason the big
rumpus was stirred up by the anti-Layton

Bankers to Demand Pledges From tho

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. At is announced
from places in Texas and Louisiana that
plans have been perfected for the reduc-
ton Of the cotton acreage for next year
and future years. The plans are the result
OF conferences between the farmers and
the bankers and merchants.
The farmers will agree TO reduce acreage,
the understanding being that those who
do not will receive no financial assistance
from the banks or merchants without which
few farmers can carry on their operations
successfully. The reduction proposed is
Is per cent, under the acreage Of 1903.
There will be large increase in the acreage
in wheat. corn and oats in North Texas,
and boom in the truck business.
This plan for reduction in acreage will
be presented before the cotton convention
in New Orleans and strongly urged. Meet
ings will be held throughout Texas by the
county judges to secure pledges from the
farmers to reduce their acreage in cot
ton. Very little stock is taken in the New
York proposition to hold cotton, and the
