PRESIDENT BUSHES
COAL FAMINE CASE
INVESTIGATION INTO CAR SHORT
AGE CONTINUED---M'kE EMMA SAYS
FREIGHT is MOVED AT RATE OF
100 MILES IN ~ HOURS.

Chicago, December 2O-Commissioners
Harlan and Lane of the interstate COM
merce commission today continued the
investigation into the startage of cars on
railroads which was begun in MINNEAPOLIS
two weeks ago.
The first witness was w. B. Bidde
vice president of the Chicago, Rock IS
land and Pacific railroad. He declared,
that conditions in the south at the pres
ent time are worse than those in tho
north This was caused, he said by the
inadequate terminal facilities In the
SOUTH At Galveston he said, traffic Oh
all of the roads is congested throughout
the year
Il believe" said Mr.. Biddle, that the
railroads are doing everything in their
power to relieve existing conditions. The
lault lies mainly with shippers who hay
ing inadequate storage facilities at Their
places of business use cars for the pur-
pose. In some cases the cars stand flr,
weeks at time at the terminals be-
cause of the failure of shippers to han
die them. My opinion is that forty-eignt
hours is the limit of time which should
be allowed for the unloading of cars,
The witness asserted that the great de-
IS the result of the practice of shippers
IN sending these things 10 city before
1hey have been sold and then changing
the destination after the terminal point
has been reached. lie said his company
Das about $1,000 freight cars and thaL
from 10 10 A per cent of them are al-
ways in the possession of other campaa-
les Tor delivery or return.
r.. W. Mekenna, vice president of the
chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road
was the second witness of the day lie
asserted that there has been a decided
Improvement in conditions in late years.
lie differed with the opinion EXPRESSED
in Minneapolis by representatives of the
I'LL roads, who testified that railroad
was doing well to average 200 miles in ten
days in the movement of freight
I'VE move freight at the average rate
or 100 miles in twelve hours,H declared
Mr.. Mckenna. The witness oorroburaled
the statements of Mr. Bddle regarding
the use of cars for storage purposes, hu.
declared taht it is difficult problem, or
the reason that many shippers preferred
to pay demurrage charges rather than
unload the cars promptly. Other NiL-
nesses who gave approximately the same
evidence were General Manager Sanbot n
of the Chicago Car Service assoeia ton
and j. W. Midgley, formerly railroad
ofheial, but not now in active business
Ihe testimony taken today was handled
IN record breaking time, because of IN
order received from President Roose ye' |
to Rush that evidence i'm the coal famine
case in the northwest" So much celertty
was injected in the proceedings that The
time of the transcription of the eViGcngc
was, it is claimed, reduced one-half.

TO REPEAL 18TH AMENDMENT
varrIaman Hopes Il Begin Crusade in
Senate.

Announcement OF a carefully plan
ned campaign to secure n repeal of
the fifteenth amendment of the consti-
tuition OF the United states, that which
gives the negro equality with the
white man as a citizen. was made
by Gov. James X. vardaman, of Mis-
sissippi. who was In Chicago Thurs
day attending the Railway Surgeons
convention.
Gov. Vardaman, who is seeking cleo
ton to the United States senate, de-
clared that if he won n membership in
the upper house he would make his
fight on the floor Of that body, believ-
ing hat he had the support of the en-
tire south. He insisted that a crisis
In the relation OF the races in the
southern states was at hand and he
problem of white supremacy or black
domination should be settled.
II favor unquali1edIy m without
reserve the abrogation of the fifteenth
amendment Of the constitution said
Gov. Vardaman. TT is my hope
through the United States to lemon
strate that there is only one practical
way of settling this matter. and that is
by plainly showing the negro his prop-
er place in our system of government.
The race question must be settled,
and that very Don It cannot be dis
posed of, however, until the nation as
a whole has been convinced that there
is a distainction between the white
race and the black.
The laws now specifically recognize
the difference between the white man
and the Indian, the Chinaman, the
or Malay. There is just as
a gap between the white man
and the negro. The negroes of the
south, Notwithstanding the millions OF
we have spent in attempting to
them. are becoming more ir-
responsible, more dfsrespectful of law
and more animal-ike in their charac-
ters and DESIRES"
