SENATOR SCOTT
OPPOSES BILL
TOOK THE POSITION THAT coy
ERNMENTAL REGULATION WAS
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, d. G., March 7.-Sena-
tor Scott of West Virginia made a
formal speech in the senate today in
opposition to giving the commerce
commission power to fix contested
rates with provision for broad and
general court review. He took the
position that governmental regulation
was a form of government ownership.
and declared the government could
not moke rates which would meet the
needs of expanding trade and indus
try. He argued for fair treatment of
all shipping communities. and against
the railroads owning coal lands.

Wa..,..sgton. D. G., March THE
sent a ~s@-age TO congress
today announcing that he had signed
with reluctance the Tnlman-G Gillespie
resolution demanding an inquiry by
the commerce commission into the
railroad determinations in the oil and
coal fields. The President said the
bill may achieve very little or nothing
in its present form. and asks for ad-
ditional legislation for this object, es-
pecially in apDropriating the money
for the inquiry and in giving the com
mission power to compel witnesses to
attend and answer questions under
oath.
II is believed that the President ex-
poets the resolution will result chiefly
in an appeal being taken to the courts
stopping all proceedings.

State Press association few years
ago. Mr.. Daniels made the point that
the railroad is the advance agent of
the commerce and that railway adyer-
tising had been Of immense value 20
American manufacturers In calling the
attention Of the whole world to the
excellent work done by our inventors
and mechanics, as illustrated in the
Empire State; Express, the Twentieth
Century Limited, and other great
trains that connect the east with the
west; the average foreigner arguing
that the men who are able to turn out
such machines must be able to build
almost anything, and that the farm
machinery and all kinds of Industrial
machinery made in America, must be
of the very best quality Railroad adj
vertising has certainly been the means
of bringing thousands of men here
from foreign countries to investigate
our manufactures and has wonderfully
increased our foreign commerce.
Every legitimate newspaper and
magazine publication In America will
have a direct interest in the general
advertising department of the New
York Central lines, and every adver-
Using agent on the continent will take
new lease of life because of this en-
dorsement of the value of advertising.

New York's Ferries.

The ferryboat service of New York
gives employment to upward of 10000
men on the boats and in the ferry
houses. The Pennsylvania alone has.
500 and the Erie and Jersey Central
about 500 each. There are more fer
ries on the East river than there are
On the North river, and they carry
larger number of passengers. But
with the exception of the Long Island
City they are not train ferries. They
run on the stage coach principle and
can take their own time. In the Hud-
son river there are seven or eight fer
ries within distance of two miles
operating from different points and
crossing each others routes at differ
ent angles. This explains why a fer
ryboat pilot must be a man of skill,
nerve and quick action. AS matter
of figures, it is interesting to know
that the Long Island ferries exceed the
travel over any ferry by 80 per cent.
They average 100000 passengers
year. The Hoboken ferries come next,
with 100000. The Erie follows with
about 100000, which is also the fig
ure of the Brooklyn Ferry company.
The Staten Island ranks next. The
Pennsylvania is somewhat down on
the list, with a total of 100000. The
total passengers on all the ferries is
something like 200,00,O00 each year.
And the lives of these the river pilot
holds in the hollow of his hand.

NEW YACHTING RULE.
Yachting Figuring On Its Eject On
Americas Cup Challenger.


To the layman the questions of
rules of measurement and rating and
classification of yachts have always
been more or less of mystery. At
the same time any man having the
spirit of fair play in sport will admit
that any rule which permits the build
ing of safe and speedy type of yacht
which, by reason of form and rating
under that rule, is qualified to contest
in certain class in any club race is
a good rule and a fair rule.
Such a uniform rule of measure
ment. by which the rating of yacht
may be determined and it's classical
ton fixed, is the one that was in use
last season and which has been re-
Gently ratified by the New York Yacht
club, and by the other large clubs and
yacht racing associations in the Unit
ed States.
Its adoption insures to the yacht
owner that IL he builds boat to the
rule it will be eligible to compete in
He also has the assurance that, the
rating having been once certified to
by the official measurer of his club,
unless he makes radical change in
form and sail plan, he can enter any
race and share with others the right
to win the prizes offered without re-
classification or remeasurement as in
the past.
The new rule provides for fairly
sharp water line and discourages the
scow form of bow. 1t is interesting to
note what the effect would be If
challenge for the Americas cup
should be accepted under the new
rule. AS the rule places a restriction
on the water line length, the ten
dency, In all probability, would be to
challenge with the largest possible
boat-a 90-foot sloop.
The water line at the bow and stern
would probably be much fuller than
in boat built without restriction on
water line LENGTH. e., cup defend
er would have water line about half
way between the Reliance and the
form that would be likely to be adopt
ed were there no restriction on the
WateF line leHSLn. lulS WOulu give
smaller boat, with more or less of
the Reliance type Of. model. The ex-
act conditions could only be deter
mined by long and careful study of
the problem when occasion. demanded
it.
The British rule, which, with few
notifications, was adopted at the in
ternational yachting conference IN
London, is much the same as its Did
rule, with some portions of 1t accen-
| tuated. The present formula seems
| to favor a pronounced v section, with
great dead rise,, rather than the Sec
ton, with more or less 'fiatter floor.
The v section will not permit over
hangs to be used, SO the boats form
must be distorted somewhat to fit the
! rule.
The rating Of the old cup racers
is unusually high under the new Ameri-
can rule, and 1t is question whether
they would be able to give the time
allowance that the high rating COM

WHERE IS EDMANDsa
Wahpeton Minister May Be Alive and
At Winnipeg Is Theory.

The alleged resemblance. between
Rev. Edmands and q man named o.
Brien, who formerly conducted a store
at WahpetOn, Is believed by friends IF
Rev.NEdmands to have been resbOnsi-
BILE for the report that the WahpetOn
minister who disappeared SO nlyster-
tously some time ago, was alive and
well In Winnipeg. 1t is suspected that
the writer of the letter from Winnipeg
In which the announcement was made
that Rev. Edmands was alive, saw
O'Brien in Winnipeg, and Tearing that
he was from Wahpeton, at once Jump
ed to the conclusion that he was the
missing minister.
Nothing further has been heard
from the Winnipeg man and this bea.s
out the theory which is generally ac-
cepted by Rev. Edmand's friends. It
Is supposed that he has discovered his
mistake.
O'Brien left Wahpeton under pecu]-
lar circumstances about the time Eev.
Edmands disappeared SO mysteriously.
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Brien and the Ed
mands family were frequently to-
gether and gossip has connected the
names of the members of the two fam
lilies recently, without foundation,
however, as IL appears after careful
investigation.
About the time of Rev. Edmands'
disappearance, it was reported in
Wahpeton that O'Brien had had SER
ious trouble with his wife. The re-
port was generally credited, especially
as O'Brien left Wahpeton soon after,
leaving Mrs. O'Brien in possession of
his property. Some time later Mrs.
O'Brien closed up the business and left
for st. Paul. On the same train was
Mrs. Edmands. This fact was noted
by the curious, and tongues wagged to
the effect that O'Brien and Rev. Ed
mands were together and that Mrs.
Edmands and Mrs. O'Brien were To
join their husbands.
1t has become known In Wahpeton
that O'Brien is now in Winnipeg and
1t is suspected that Mrs. O'Brien has
Joined him there. The trouble be-
tween husband and wife is explained
as part of pre-arranged plan to put
creditors to disadvantage.
The report that Mrs. Edmands is in
Winnipeg has not been given credence.
It has been established on good au-
thority that she is now in the east.
The disappearance of Rev. Edmanls
still remains complete mystery and
is furnishing field for many anna
teur slueths who, are daily advancing
theories. The 4 generally accepted
theory Is however, that the minist ,r
was drowned in the Red river and that
his body will be recovered when the
ice breaks up in the spring Fargo
Forum.

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS

portion of the purse and doing away
with pool selling, so that horse must
win to get the most money. Long
races ruin more horses, both for rae
ing purposes and for breeding, than
any and all things, and are the direct
cause of driving more good men out
of the trotting business than any,
thing else. 1t has always been that
horse with much of record had
little earning capacity and was not
worth much to poor man as rae
ing proposition. Consequently many
horse has escaped a record because
the owner or driver would not take
the chance of getting record when
he did not think he could win the
race, knowing that with more work
and education his horse would be
most valuable in the slow classes,
where all of the big money was hung
up.
Ithink it would look like bad policy
for any Grand Circuit track to run on
the three in five plan in 1906. The
time has come, and come sure, when
If trotter or PAGER is to continue
valuable as a racing proposition,
shorter races must take the place of
the barbarous plan of racing horses
all the afternoon and into the even
ing. If not the same feeling will ex-
list against the sport as has hereto
fore.
81 am satisfied that, if track mana
gers were obliged to have short rae
ing; to offer most money for the fast
est horses; good, clean grandstands
with comfortable seats; the grounds
attractive, instead of the public be-
ing obliged to look at rocks, sandhills
and mudholes; everything around the
stable kept in apple pie order, drivers
and those caring for the horses dress
ed neat and nice, the trotting and pac-
ing game would have the following
and respect of every healthy minded
person."

Movement In Advertising.

The creation of general adver-
Using department for the New York
Central lines, and the placing /, in
charge Of that department the veteran
railroad advertiser, George H, Daniels.
who has been for nearly twenty years
the general passenger agent of the
New York Central railroad, marks an
era in the history of advertising in
America. IS
The New York Central lines are the
first great system to create an adver-
tising department which covers Ill
railways In their system, and the far
reaching consequences of such a
movement cannot be appreciated at
first sight, but this action on the part
of the management of these lines emf
phasizes the value Of advertising gen
orally, and forces the conclusion Of 3
strong belief in the efficacy of railroad
advertising in particular.
Some idea OF the Importance of this
new department can be had when it
is understood that It will control the
general advertising in America and in
foreign countries Of the New York
