VIEWS Of BRYAN ON
RAILWAY REGULATION
Favors Government Owner

Trunk Lines

BOSTON, March 2s.-H. NJ Whitney
tonight made public a letter he had
Just received from william J. Bryan,
dealing with the railroad question. It
follows in part:
am IN favor Of both national and State regu-
latiOn, and I also believe that public ownership
Is tie ultimate solution OF the railroad question.
In my discussions ] have pointed out that be-
cause Of the danger Of Capitalization in owner
shin by the Federal Government of all the lines,
] prefer q system IN which the Federal Govern
will be confined 10 the necessary trunk lines
and the ownership OF the rest OF the lines be
left 70 the States.
A. an advocate Of regulation of the strictest
sort, i can say TO you that there is no danger
Whatever that this regulation VIII be carried TO
the point OF preventing reasonable return on
money invested IN the railroads OF the country
And ! also assure you that whenever public own
ership is adopted by the States or BY the nation
the stockholders may expect 70 receive price

critics of the road; but no such assurance ought
20 be necessary. because the public has shown no
disposition 10 reduce railroad earnings TO point
which would bring a reasonable return.
In case the various States fD the Union should
desire 10 enter upon State ownership Of railroads.
there would be disposition 70 connscste the

Much Assailed

Lost Sight Of
ISSUES ARE FORGOT

CHICAGO. March 2s.-chicago is ex-
periencing one Of the bitterest Mayor
atty campaigns in the history OF the
city. Mayor Edward F. Dunno is the
+ Democratic candidate. while the Re
publicans are seeking 10 elect Fred A
Busse. Postmaster Of Chicago. AT the
beginning OF the campaign the street
railway ordinances were the issue, but
such a bitter personal fight has devel-
oned that the real issue has almost
been lost sight OF. Every newspaper
in the city both morning and after
noon, with the exception OF two, is sup
porting Postmaster Busse and the trac-
ton ordinances recently passed by the
City Council over Mayor DUNES veto.
The interests OF Mayor Dunno are be-
ing looked after by the two newspapers
OF W. r. Hearst, and the voters are
Z being treated 10 some choice poiucal
arguments. Ancient history, some said
10 be true and a great deal Of IL de-
olared false, is being resurrected and
as q result one libel suit involving

more are threatened.
The workers OF both parties have
made a thorough house 70 house can

STRIKE IS DELAYED
PENDING CONFERENCE
Meeting of Federal Officials
and Railroad and Union
Men to Be Held
NO CONCESSION MADE
Railways Declare They Have
Granted Every Demand
Possible
NO CONCESSION MADE

CHICAGO. March 2s.-Whether there
is to be strike of the employees IN
the train service of the Western rail-
roads depends on a meeting to be held
here tomorrow morning between two
of the Government officials and the
representatives of the union and the
railroads. The meeting was brought
about by the general managers of the
railroads, who appealed to Washington
for a settlement of the difficulty under
the terms provided in the Bordmann
act The Government will be repre-
sented by Martin A. Knapp, chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, and Charles P. Neill, Commis-
sioner of Labor, while c. II. Brown,
chairman of the board OF managers,
will be the spokesman for the railroads,
and Grand Chief P. II. Morrissey or
the Railway Trainmen's Union and
Chief Conductor A B. Garretson or the
conductors organization will look after
the interests of the men,
The same stumbling block that pre-
vented the railroads and the men from
reaching a peaceable settlement still
remains. however. The railroads to-
night declare that they have conceded
everything they possibly can, and the
union representatives are just as en-
phatic in their declarations that FUR
ther concessions will have to be made
by them or tomorrow's meeting Will
be a failure so far as preventing
strike is concerned.
Both sides held separate meetings
today, but nothing developed.

HEAVREN PETITION DENIED
FOR HUDSON STREET PLACE
County Commissioners Will Not Allow License Trans
 fer Now.

Arguments were held yesterday be- fore the county commissioners over the petition of Francis Heavrin for the au- thority to transfer a liquor license for a saloon at 12 Hill street, which he had purchased from an Italian named Na- talie .Acunto to 9S Hudson street, where he desired to do business. The petition was refused yesterday by the oommis- sioners, they holding that Mir. Heavrin had not yet made a regular application to them to have the license which he had bought transferred to his name. Until this is done they would not grant the license. After that the petition for the transfer to the Hudson street place may be made and again considered by the commissioners.
 The request for license for the place on Hudson street has met with great opposition from the people in the vii cinity The Park commission has op- posed it on the ground that the place is situated too near the Beaver Ponds park property. Henry C. Newton, w. H. H. Hewitt, ex-Judge Cleveland, F. S. Andrew, Chief Justice Simeon Bald win, Rev. John. w. Davis, Rev. MT. Mossman of the City Mission, Pierce N. Welch and many others also are among the remonstrants so that if the other formality is attended to the transfer may not be granted by the commissioners.
