In summing up the whole thing
there are dozen different ways the
public should expect some substan-

city councilmen, who are the guard
ians of the taxpayers interests, who
are helpless unless the council comes
to their aid and rescue.
The council ought to get together
and carefully canvass the matter
and make the following require
ments among others:
First-A fair cash consideration
second--So much tax on every
pole and additional pole yearly.
Third-Each year the council to

Voice Of the People.
Fighting the Railroad.

Editor OF The Tl.hes-Dispatch:
Sir,-The business interests of this
country are now confronted by re-
markab!e state Of affairs in the matter
OF railroad transportation. 1t has as
sumed such proportions as to become a
national problem. There is no doubt
in the minds of those who have made
a study OF railroads in their capacity
to move the vast and fast-increasing
traffic that the present congestion OF
freight is caused more by their In
ability than by discrimination or bad
management. The products OF Ameri-
can industries far exceed the power OF
over 100000 miles Of railways to haul
and distribute with certainty and dis
patch. Indeed, the statement Is made
by competent authority that it will
employ capital, even If obtainable, to
the amount OF thousands OF millions in
the next five years to equip enough
new roads to satisfy the needs OF
traffic. Most Of the complaints made
against the railways are cases in which
the familiar phrase, More slnned
against than SHINING" Is applicable.
Hostile Legislation has been great
hindrance In the solution Of the present
problem Of railroad congestion. par
ticularly In Gripping the finances OF
the companies through the evil effects
upon the investing class. Railway Sc
curities are almost a drug In the mar

Especial to The Times Dispatch. ]

NORFOLK, VA, May 1s.-A serious
clnsh between the management of the
Jamestown Exposition and newspaper
men occurred to-day, when nom
commissioned officer OF the Powhatan
Guard, the exposition police. arrested
nznc writer, who Is well known
throughout the country. and Joseph r.
Curtis, Il former newspaper man Of At
lRnta, both OF whom are connected with
the exploitation department of the ex-
position. because It was alleged that
ono of the two called n member Of tho
guard . "fathcad" when the latter Of
fcrcd him an insulting word az the two
were passing over the Lee Parade. The
newspaper men who have visited the
exposition claim that they have been
repeatedly insulted and retarded in
their work by members of the guard
who seem to be both insolent and in
competent, and they say that they will
stand It no longer.
Nothing More to DO With 1t.
Tho incident to-day provoked an out
break on the part of the news gath
orers, and they say that unless the
exposition officials recall the guards or
instruct them to be more courteous In
the future. that they will have moth
ing more to do with the exposition.
Captain Carpenter. commanding ofti-
Ger Of the guard. was profusc in his
apologies to the newspaper men when
he heard of the arrests. and had all
charges removed. The newspaper men
were carried to the headquarters of
the guard where they were parolcd
until Captain Carpenter could be found.
They were inclined to take the entire
matter as joke. but other newspaper
men said that the time for climax
had come. and hence the matter was
stirred up. The exposition has been
"touted" highly by the newspaper men
