WANT EXTENSION
PHYSICAL IaTPOssInIiITY TO MEET
 LAWS HEQUITtEMENTs,
Every One of Carriers Affected By New Railroad Rate Bill Seek More
 Time To Meet Its
 Demands.

Washington, Aug. 29-Every one of the carriers under the recently enacted railroad rate law are seeking an exten- sion of time in which to file with the Interstate Commerce Commission it's schedules of rates provided for by the act
 All of them represent to the commis- sion that 1t has been impossible thus far to comply absolutely with the re- quirements of the law because they have not had the time in which to complete their schedule of rates. All of the com panies express their desire to comply with the law in all respects required.
 Representatives of nearly all Of the thirteen express companies doing bus mess in the United States were present at today's hearing. The members of the Interstate Commerce Commission in at . tendance were Chairman Knapp, and Commissioners Clements. Lane and Clark.
 Frank H. Platt of New York, of the United Express Company. told the com mission that his company had thus far prepared about 100000 rates, but that 1t was not through by any means. He said that the company had strained itself to the utmost in doing the work and now had fifty additional men at work on the schedules. but that it would require some time yet to com plete the work.
 He urged the commission, in addition to granting an extension of time to do the work, not to Insist on a posting of the schedule of rates at every office as that would be practically physical im- possibility. In the course of Mir. Platts statement it was developed that the ex- pense of the express business.' in the aggregate, was just about twice as great as the expense of the transpor- tation of express matter on the rail- roads
 Tn other words. one half in round figures. of the cost of transmission of express matter was paid to the rail- roads. and one half for carriage and other charges.
 All of the speakers today assured the commission that their companies were doing everything in their power to put the commission in possession of the schedules at the earliest possible date. They agreed, generally, that 1t would take until November for them to com nIete their individual rates In the opinion of all a further extension or lime would he necessary for the filing of joint rates. ,. b,,+
 The commission made no order but fl is probable that one will be issued at a later date.

 New York, Aug. 29.--Miss May Sut- ton left New York last night Tor Cin- cinnati, where she will defend her tl- tie to the Tri-State Tennis champion- ship in the ladies singles. and with Ter sister play for the ladies doubles cham pionship.
 When seen last night and asked con- corning the arrangements for the In- ternational Trophy for women which Mrs. Astor and Mrs. Barger wallach and other leaders of American tennis have projected to bring English and American women opponents of the game together, Miss Sutton said:
 q do not know that very definite progress had made yet toward con- summating an arrangement, whereby there shall be international competi- ton for women, but everyone interes- ted in bringing 1t about Is hopeful Of succeeding and the players themselves are wild for chance to play"
 Regarding Americas chances of suc- cess in such a tournament she asid:
 Frankly I must admit that I think the English women as yet little too strong for us. Certainly. Miss Dou- glass proved her superiority over me in the championship this year. although I am hopeful of regaining the title some time"

BRIEF HEARING GRANTED.
Interstate Commerce CommisslOn Heai
 Industrial Lines ArRumenf

HRAEa
 Industrial Lines Argument.
 Washington, Aug. 29.-A brief hear ing was accorded by the Interstate Commerce Commission today represen- tatives of what are known as indus trial railroad lines, that have been es- tablished by large corporations, for the purpose, primarily, of taking care of the switching of these concerns.
 x. B, Montgomery of Chicago, who represented the. International Harves- ter Company, submltted to the Com mission a number of inuuiries on which he wanted rulings by the body.
 The inquiries related entirely to the position the industrial railroads were placed In by the new rate law They were largely technical in character, but were important to the roads them selves
 One of the most important was whether an industrial road would be required by the Commission to issue a through bill of lading to a shipper on goods intended to be sent outside of the State and whether the immediate road would be, in any sense, respon- sible in the way of damage for the delivery of those goods.
 Mir. Montgomery explained that 1t was a practice of some of the roads to accent from shippers goods for de- livery to through lines of the rail- road, but that their works was prac- tically a switching convenience.
 Chairman Knapp said it undoubted- ly would be incumbent on the indus trial roads to give some sort of re- ceipt for the goods shipped, but not necessarily a through bill of lading. As to tho question of responsibility for damages, Chairman Knapp suggested that the Commission could not deter mine that matter until 1t had brought before it a speciyc case.
 The questions were threshed out to considerable extent, but the commis- sion dclined to make an absolute or- der on any of them at this time.

easy to fix definitely when theae ideas will triumph but I believe that there Is always forward movement toward that triumph"
 Do you think the Republican ad- ministration has been such as to in- crease these chancesY
 T cannot discuss that question at present; but l do think the present ad- ministration has done much to educate the people to make them to see the value of Democratic ideas"
 Scene on the Hay.
 The scene down tlie bay as the Pri,> zess Irene came to anchor in quars ebratten of homecoming of | ain American citizen.
 MT. Bryan's home folks were the most enthusiastic of all. On two big tug boats which journeyed dewn the bay, side by side, they went to welcome their distinguished neighbor. With tumul- tuous cheers they pulled up alongside the after gangway of the big steamer and called their greetings to MT. Bryan, who stood on the deck just above them and smiled and waved his hat. Big boxes of flowers were tossed on board for Mrs. Bryan. Then the Nebraska State flag was flung to the breeze and the cheering was renewed. Songs were sung and the cheering was taken up eiAhO emu ds Wnll0 BTyan was going through the necessary formali- ties of the customs inspection laws.
 Two inspectors and an assistant ap- pratser had gone down on the Illfni un- der special instructions and had been put aboard to take MT. Bryan"s decla- ration and make the usual examination Of hand baggage and trunks.
 When the baggage had all been pass- ed and MT. Bryan was ready to de- scend to the Nebraskaus tugs, there was another outburst. of enthusiasm which was taken up with a will. this time by those on the crowded decks of the Princess Irene.
 As he set foot upon the tug, Mir. Bry- an was fairly mobbed by the Ncbras- kans, who had, as guests, many Demo- crats from other sections of the coun~ try
 Flags were dipping everywhere and from the shores small craft put out in multiplying numbers
 MT. Bryan was called upon for a speech by the Nebraskans but he only told them in purely personal vein. how happy he was to be home again.
 After geing on the tugs more than half an hour Mir. and Mrs. Bryan were transferred to the Illini and taken to the landing. where they went ashore to spend the night at the home of MT. Nixon

Gray Leads for Lieu tenant Governor. TYSON FOR CHIEF JUSTICE Weakley Men Still Claim a vic-
 tory, However. Bankhead and Johnston for Alternate senators--Harris and Henderson I Chosen as Associate Rail-
 road Commissioners.
TYSON FOR CHIEF JUSTICE

Late returns from Mondays primary alone serve to make the majority of B. B. Conner over Lieutenant Governor R. M. Cunningham more definite.
 The Birmingham manufacturer will probably lead the Ensley doctor by 15.o00 votes when the ballots are counted. This majority may be in- creased to 20.0oo.
 Never before in the history of Ala bama have election returns been so incomplete and indefinite. Several of the contests will not be decided bee fore the official count Saturday.
 Today's indications are that Henry B. Gray has a substantial lead over ID. J. Meador and Emmet oNeal for Lieu tenant Governor. although 1t will take the official count to decide the nomt- nation. Congressman J. H. Bankhead and former Governor Joseph F. John- ston are assured of the places as ai- ternate senator with John B. Knox third. The places of the others will probably be as follows, Richard H. Clarke, W. c. Fitts. W. c. Oates ana Jesse F. Stallings.
 John c. Harris and Charles E. Hen- derson are assured of places as asso- ciate railroad commissioners. Justice Dowdell will be returned to the Su- preme Court bench and T. c. McClef- Ian is leading the other candidates for the second seat.
 Associate Justice Tyson seems to have defeated Chief Justice Weakley for chief justice, though the WeakIey men still claim they have a chance to land their man. J. A. Wilkinson has increased his lead for commits sioner of agriculture.
 The nominations of Frank Julian for secretary of State, Walter Seed for State treasurer, Harry Guunetls for superintendent of education, Will liam W. Brandon for auditor, and Alex Garber for attorney general are known.
