RAILROAD MEN CONFER.
Interchange of Freight Equipment
One Mooted Point.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20-All the lead
ing railroads of the United States
are represented at a conference being
held here today. Car service and ef-
ficiency are the principal subjects
under discussion, one Of the most i'm
portant matters to be settled being
the interchange of freight equipment
between railroads.
The railroad officials say that
much of the car shortage is due to
the fact that they are unable to keep
their cars on their own roads.
Twenty-Five railroads have agreed to
abide by any rules adopted by the
conference for a period OF six months.
Efforts are being made to bring
all the members of the American
Railway association into the agree
ment. The roads that have consent
ed so far to the agreement are most
ly Western lines.

For Inland WATERWAYS.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 19.--
Governors of several states, members
of Congress and learers in the COM
mercial life of the chief cities along
the Atlantic seaboard met in confer
ence at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel
in this city today to perfect a per-
.manent association to advocate the
development of chain of deep wat
erways the length of the Atlantic
coast, from Cape Cod to Beaufort, n.
c.. with extensions to the souther-
most part of Florida.
In support of the project it is
urged that the completion of such
chain of inland waterways would re-
suit in reduction of freight rates
and would end the monopoly enjoyed
by the large steamship lines Of the
bunk of the commerce between the
North and the South.

ELASTIC MONEY
NEEDED NOW
SENATOR eSROOT THINKS CON-
GRESS SHOULD TAKE IMMEDI-
ATE ACTION TO PROVIDE SUCH
CURRENCY. g

SALT LAKE CITY, No. 20.-+In an
interview with the Tribune corre-
spondent at Provo yesterday, United
States Senator Reed Smoot said:
81 think congress ought immedi-
ately to pass an elastic treasury bill
which would relieve the situation at
once. The bill should be a broad
one and should protect the govern
ment and at the same time provide
the money necessary to carry on the
business of the United States. Such
currency would be used only in
emergencies and would be with
drawn from circulation when need
for it was past. All other civilized
countries have such a law.
1T seems to me absurd that there
is need for such an action at the
present time. The country is more
prosperous now than at any time in
its history. There are tens of mill
ions more money in the United States
than a year ago. At the close of the
year ending March /, the balance of
trade will be in favor of America by
one billion dollars

today there was large attendance of
representatives of the shipping, bank

the subject in order that an instru-
ment which will meet the require
ments of all interests concerned may
be put into operation at the begin
ming of the new year.
Considerable opposition to the pro-
posed lading bill in its present shape
has developed and If the commission
accepts the views Of those who al
ready have been heard new instru-
ment will be perfected or the one al
ready proposed will be materially
modified. Today's program included
arguments of representatives OF both
the commercial interests and the
railroads.

He Was a Cousin of the United States

Chicago, Oct. 16.-David Redfeldi

in cheap lodging house at 14S South
Clark street.
He had been in Strengthened cir
cumstances for several years, al
though he made a fortune from the
sale of royalties on an invention
which he patented in the early sew
entfes, a device which arrested and
extinguished the sparks from the fun
nels of locomotives, making the Kin

an impossibility.

most picturesque characters VINO
haunted the offices of Director Cen

and Graham with offers of marvellous
plans for enhancing the beauty ana

MAY INCLUDE SANTA FE
Commissioner Lane Says That Road
Has Been Giving Rebates.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad may also
be included in the prosecutions planned
by the interstate commerce commission
as result of Commissioner Lanes in
vestigation of rebating by the Southern
Pacific railroad. a system similar to
that of the Southern Pacific. by which
rebates are given upon traffic within
the state Of California, is believed to
be in force upon the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, and it is presumed that
some of the rebates given are upon in
terstate traffic.
Further investigation of this point is
necessary, however, before the evidence
of actual violations of the federal law
can be obtained. The violations of the
law by the Southern Pacific have been
so fragrant that Mr.. Lane, without stop
ping to ascertain definitely what the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe is doing,
hurried back to Washington and is
rushing work upon his report in order
that action upon it may be taken by
the full commission without delay and
the matter placed in the hands Of the
attorney general for prosecution.
