WANT RECIPROCAL DEMuRRAeE
President Hears Appeal for Federal
Legislation
BY Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The presi-
dent today heard an appeal in favor of
federal legislation for reciprocal de-
murrage to meet the situation caused
by the lack of railway equipment and
the delay in moving cars unloaded.
The appeal was presented by the ex-
ecutive committee of the National
Reciprocal Demurrage convention re-
Gently held at Chicago headed by Vic
tor H. Beckman of Seattle, chairman.
The appeal says that the lumber
trade, while the commodity is one of
the heaviest contributors to railroad
revenue has been perhaps the chief
sufferer from inadequate transporta-
tion facilities. 1t was argued that
properly framed federal legislation
would, with due regard to the operat-
ing questions involved and the respect
i've rights of the public and common
carriers, would afford relief in a short
time.
The president promised to take the
case up with the committee again to-
morrow when other members of the
interstate commission are expected to
be present.

A big natural-looking china rooster
adorns Mayor Harpers desk.
It is present from Mrs. Sam
Schenck, wife of the police commits
sioner,
The donor picked it up in New York
recently. Roosters have speclal sig
nifcance there--at least Mrs Schenck
thought so, Her husband tells the
story thus
"When Mayor Harper was elected my
wife said she meant to give him the
rooster she had bought recently. TO
her a rooster meant victory, especially
a Democratic victory, as she had seen
the Tammany excitement in New York
So she sent ii down.
II told her there was no Tammany
here, but she said the mayor was THE
cock of the pit any way and she had
her say"
The memento is a tobacco box and a
unique ornament for any mans desk.

Pennsylvania Fears No Handicap to
Western Traffic

1t is evident that the directors Of the
Pennsylvania lines have no idea that it
will ever be a serious handicap to that
system that it's lines do not extend be-
yond the Mississippi valley.
They have been singularly negligent
in providing against it, at least, and it
is evident that they consider the terri
torial position of the Pennsylvania i'm
pregnable as it stands.
Whether they do or not the door
seems to have been shut against them
at Chicago. There is not a western
road of Importance left with which they
could enter into alliance, and none at
all that would extend their line west of
the Missouri river. The Hill lines are
there, it is true, but the outlook for a
union between them and the Pennsyl'
Vania cannot be said to be promising or
probable,

Railroad News
BY Associa ted press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Local officials
of the American Railway association
say that reports from Chicago that
many of the large systems of the coun-
try had agreed to a pooling arrange
ment for all their freight cars was
premature.
What is in contemplation 1t was said
was the establishment of a freight car
clearing house, with the object of in
creasing the efficiency of car service
primarily by a more satisfactory dis
tribution of freight cars to relieve the
costly freight congestion.
The railroads entering Chicago have
already consented to the establishment
to an experimental clearing house of
this kind, but a movement is now undcr
way to extend the adoption of this sys-
tenn beyond the Chicago territory to
which it was intended originally to
restrictit.

New Rate Law Effects

The new rate law. it seems to be gen
orally conceded, will interfere with any
increase in rates sufficient to offset the
increased cost of labor and material
but railroad officials who are in touch
with the employees believe that such

opinion that it would be impolitic and
dangerous to attempt anything in the
way of advance in rates to anything

THE M'CANDL[ss
BRIEF ON LANAI

The reply brief of Judge Gear, at
torney for L. L. McCandless, in the
Injunction proceedings taken out
against the sale of the island of La
mai, to the brief of the respondent, the
Land Commissioner, was filed yester-
day. This brief is filed to show the
interest In law of McCandless In the
Lanai transfer, asked for by Judge De
Bolt.
The brief recites the fact that the
island of Lanai is now under lease and
is producing revenue for the govern
not specify that income producing prop
erty will be secured by the government.
AS a taxpayer McCandless has an In
terest in the income of the government
and a right to enjoin the Land Com
missioner from making the proposed
exchange.
Another ground for objection Is that
the exchange is tantamount to a sale.
whereas the sale of public land by
the Land Commissioner in amounts
greater than 1000 acres Is beyond his
power conferred by law.
The brief contains a general discus
sion of the land policy of the admin
istration and the ideas of President
Roosevelt concerning the desirability
Of establishing here a substantial mid
die class of citizens.
