In order to avoid car shortage. in the fnce OF
the present great offering of freight the Pennsyl

every possible expedient to the fullest
vice from the cars actually hand. The great
est difficulties encountered have been with cOnsgn-
ees who have detained for unreasonable

Washington, Dec. 2-By means of a wireless
telegraph station built directly adjoining the Capt

toNsend messages to friends at govern
ment wireless stations along the coast
The station has been built under the supervision
OF Elliott Woods superintendent of the Capitol

voted good deal of attention TO perfeceng wire

If Congress should authorizes the maintenance of
the station part of the facilities for cOmmuni-

Capitol wireless to ships at sea, which will prob
ably be heard all along the coast
Congress has made no appropriation thus far for
the station, but the superintendent of the Capitol
has been encouraged To go ahead with the work,
and there seems to be a likelihood that, with the
the Capitol plaza, the wireless telegraph station
will be authorized as regular part OF the equip
ment. II IS expected that there will be times when
wireless communication from the Capitol would be
OF value TO Congress, and the sending of messages
relating to the proceedings IN the House and SEN

an interview tonight said that the coal famine

President Hill of the Great Northern and
President Elliott of the Northern Pacific have
notified that the situation is now in hand
by the roads and danger Of suffering from lack
of fuel is over" he said.
Speaking OF his recent trip through the West.
Mr.. Lane said:
There is very serious terminal congestion.
railroads should have foreseen the car short
age and met the emergency. The suggestion
was made to us by James ]. Hill that the rail-
roads of the United States spend S5.OO0OOoOOO.
at the rate of $1,00O.OOO,OO0 year, in buying
equipment putting double track In the place
OF single track, four tracks where now are two.
putting in new switches and anlargtns their
terminal facilities.
Both in Chicago and Minneapolis positive
proof was given us that the tense situation in
traffic affairs due to faulty methods Of
management as well inadequate equipment.
A car clearing house, by which the roads Will
receive credit weekly for their cars, and under
which cars might be used to best advantage. is
a good suggestion offered by Mr.. Midgley, of
Chicago. as an authority on railroad matters.
He cites the system now followed by the South

that is beyond question. 1t rests with the rail-
roads themselves, and II they cannot success
