Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-inficted loss of prestige by de-
m%onstrating thru suits for damages,
that it a be more artful in evading
liability for libels than the humble

Of libel suits to silence the popular in

TO STOP CAR SHORTAGE
Big Convention of Railroad Patrons
to Meet in Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 3-Delegates from more
than so organizations of lumbermen,
coal dealers and other large patrons of
railroads will attend a convention COM
mencing here tomorrow for the purpose
of securing national legislation to rem
edy the general shortage of cars, pro-
vide better facilities for shippers and
prevent future damage to business
through the failure of transportation
companies to handle freight promptly.
Among the organizations which will
be represented at the conference are:
Illinois Lumber Dealers association,
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
associatio Hardwood Manufacturers
association of the United States. Yellow
Pine Manufacturers association, Ma
tional Hay association, Southwestern
Lumbermen's association, Associations
Of Retail Coal dealers in many states
and associations of retail lumber deal
ers in many states.
The convention will present to con-
gress statistics showing loss sustained
by shippers through the shortage of cars
and probably will urge the passage of a
law providing for reciprocal demurra ge
charges such as Congressman Madden
has prepared and will soon introduce
in the house.
The railroads are opposed to any
form of reciprocal demurrage. They
declare that the most selfish reasons
prompt them to furnish cars as quickly
as possible to persons who have freight
to ship as the cars earn nothing when
not in use.

Senate Committee Refuses to Stand
for Increase of Salaries.

Chicago, Jan. "a dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The senate committee has turned
down the proposition of the house for
more salaries for members and has
even cut out the increase for the
speaker, vice president and cabinet Of
ficers.
No formal vote has yet been taken
by the committee which has the legis-
lative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill in charge. But it will be
reported to the full committee with
the salary increases stricken out and
without any provision for the increase
of salaries of the members which the
house failed to vote, lodging the re-
sponsibility in the hope that the sem
ate would assume the responsibility
and put back the increased salaries for
members of congress SO as to corre-
spond to the addition to the official in
come of the vice president, speaker
and cabinet officers.
The subcommittee, of which Sena-
tor Cullom of Illinois is chairman, has
only about one more days work on the
bill, when it will be turned over to the
full committee. There is general
understanding that the action of the
subcommittee will be Endorsed by the
full committee on appropriations. of
which Senator Allison of Iowa. who is
expected back here Monday. is chair
man.

law was a powerful one, and that the
passage of such a bill as that which is
being prepared by Congressman NJ. B.
Madden would be a calamity to the
business interests of the entire coun-
try. One railroad president said:
eff the shippers understood this
demurrage law as much as we do. 1t
would entail incalculable injury. They
say it is not fair to fine the shipper
for detention of loaded cars when the
railroad goes free when damage is

They forget that the railroad would
rather not collect a dollars demur-

absolutely necessary. There are a

passed. The railroads feel there must

people and that when they realize
what an Ubiquitous thing such meas
