Eugene E. Schmitz, through his attorneys.
yesterday petitioned the supreme court for

BLAME FOR CAR SHORTAGE.
George Gould Says Shippers Are Part
ly Responsible.

NEW ORLEANS, January s.-George J.
Could head of the Gould railway system, is
quoted today on the car shortage problem
as follows:
1.-The car shortage Is not altogether the
fault of the railroads. The big car users
are partly responsible in not preparing load
ing and unloading facilities in proportion to
their business. Merchants and shippers
have failed to take account of the increase
by many times of the amount in business
handled by them. This is what the railroad
man has to contend with in Pttsburg, Chi
cago and manufacturing sections and 1t ap-
plies as well to New Orleans in a lesser
degree. The prosperity of the country Is
to blame as well as the growth of new Sec
