PANIC TALK
President Winchell, Of Rock Island,
Discusses Present Railroad

TAKES ISSUE WITH
NEWSPAPER REPORTS
A Mistake. He Says. to Accuse
R. R. Managers with Plan e
ming Retaliation

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Omaha. Neb., March 23.-"I take no
stock in the talk of panic. 1 do
not think the current of prosperity
has been checked. While other men,
many of them men whose opinions
must be respected, have expressed
the belief that present. agitation aud
legislation bearing upon railroads will
inevitably lead to a stringency ii not
panic, do not endorse their view.'
This statement was made by Presi-
dent B. L.. Winchell of the Rock Is
land railroad, in Omaha, where he and
other officials Of that road had come
on business. He added:
"It is mistake. though to ascribe
the actions or conduct of railroad
managers at this time to determin-
alton or desire at retaliation. It is
nothing of the sort The same good
faith which the people ask for their
motives, must in turn be ascribed by
the people to the motives of the cor
pOrations."

Bucharest. March 23.-In the
opinion of the Roumanian government,
the rising of peasants in Moldavia is
more of an anarchistic character, then
antisemitic. In reply to requests for
a statement on the subject today,
finance minister Ioneacu wrote the
following note: "The present regret
table movement Is not only of an anti
semitic but also of an agrarian and
anarchistic character. Houses of
Christians, both owners and tenants,
have been destroyed. The govern
ment has taken all possible measures
to cope with the movement, which
must. now be regarded more as an
anarchistic campaign than anything
else"
According to the latest advices re-
ceived here, the movement is spread
ing southwark. In Bacau, Vasluia and
Roman districts, the peasants are we'll
organized. Most of them have served
in the army and formed themselves
into companies and regiments under
officers and are plundering small
towns and villages, wherever there is
an insufficinecy of troops to over-awe
them, without distinction as to nation
ality. In several instances farmers
and land owners have yielded to the
demands of peasants and the raids
have ceased

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, March 23.-The Herald
says today: "It Is understood that the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
Washington has finally hit upon a
plan for the solution of the perplex-
ing problem to relieve the present
cricis in the railroad situation, by
bringing about a practical co-opera-
tion. between the railroads and the
federal government.
The plan which Is now being con-
sidered and has practically gained the
approval of the commission and the
president, is the appointment of a
western interstate traffic commits
sioner to represent the commission,
with headquarters in Chicago and st.
Louis.
This body is to cooperate with the
public and the railroad officers in OBJ
tanning reasonable rate adjustments
and to adjudicate all matters now In
dispute. The railroad representatives
and the commissioner would virtually
assemble about a round table to dis
cuss freight rates, stop violations of
the law, and prevent rate dfscrimina-
tions and preferences.
1T is believed this plan will put a
stop to the flood of hostile legislation
against railroads in the west and es-
tablish more friendly relations with
the railroads on the part of the gov
ernment.''
