ers by the Kingston disaster II author
izes the President TO distribute among the
sufferers on the island Of Jamaica naval.
subsistence, medical, and other stores, 20
relieve them Of their present distress. II
was passed without dissent
In support Of his request for unanimous
consent for immediate consideration OF
the bill, Mr.. Tawney said: Il have just
been advised by the Secretaryof the Navy
that the conditions at Kingston. Jamaica.
are far worse than were anticipated. A
wireless message 70 that effect has been
received from one OF the battle ships that
arrived there this morning The supply
ship Celtic Is at Guantanamo, only a short
distance from Kingston, and il is the pur-
pose Of the President 10 direct that the
ship go TO Kingston for the purpose OF
distributing the supplies it has on board
among the suffering people, and it is for
the purpose of giving authority TO do
that that this resolution has been pre-
scented"
SIR. Fitzgerald Dem, " y said. Il
would like to ask what is the limitation
of the power of the President to use these
supplies?'
Mr. Tawney replied. so much as is
deemed to be necessary for the immediate
relief of the people of that island / will
say that there was a similar resolution or
bin passed at the time of the terrible
catastrophe at Martinique in that case
there was no limitation aJ all I inserted
in this resolution so much as may be
necessary for temporary immediate relief
Of the people Of the island In that case
there was 4 specific amount Of $4,000
Ia this case it is proposed to use only
the stores of the supply snip Celtic, which
is at Guantanamo. about 125 miles dis
tant srom Kingston. The department
does not ask for authority to do any
more. The supply ship Celtic viii go 20
Kingston as soon as it can get there, for
the purpose of relieving the temporary
distress tnat prevails there at this time.
am informed that the government of
Great Britain does not even know the
extent Of the suffering or the conditions
that prevail there at this time"
Mr.. Fitzgerald: Il have no objection to
affording this relief. but it seemed to me
that there should be some limitation on the
power Of anybody to use the resources of
the government for this purpose. I un-
derstand the gentleman from Minnesota
To say that it is distinctly understood
that the specific amount of the supplies
will be utilized for this purpose
Mr.. Tawney: THE amount they propose
TO use is covered by the amount of sup
plies that is on this one ship"

WOULD FORCE HAULING COAL
President Aroused Over Delay in Re-
lieVing Fuel Famine.
Gets Data for Message to Congress.
1900 Cars said to BE Held ID by
Quarrel Between Railroads.

President Roosevelt is thoroughly
aroused over the failure Of the railroads
to transport a sufficient amount Of coal
for domestic use in the Northwest, and
he is trying to find a way Of compelling
the roads to move cars. He has decided
to send "a special message 20 Congress on
the subject
Two important conferences on the sub
ject took place at the White House. The
first was br ef. as it occurred during the
morning hours. The President asked
Chairman Knapp and the executive COM
mittee OF the National Reciprocal Demur-
rage Convention, to meet him again in
the afternoon. At the morning meeting.
which took place in Mr.. Roosevelt's Of
ice the President said that he had been
informed that loaded coal cars destined
for points in the Northwest. where peo-
pie are freezing for want of coal for
household use, are being held al Chicago
and Minneapolis pending the settlement
Of differences between the transportation
companies and the consignees over de
information had it that 100 of these
loaded cars We're being held at Mime
apolis alone.
Investigate that matter AT once" said
the President u Chairman Knapp.
At the afternoon meeting MIR. Knapp
AMI members of the Demurrage Conven-
tons executive committee gave their
views to the President. Chairman
Knapp's idea seemed to be that the rail-
roads can be compelled to move cars, but
that legislation would be necessary. Presi-
dent Roosevelt proposes TO get the needed
legislation at this session, If possible, and
to make the law effective on the 1st of
July next.
The Presidents message to Congress
viii give the result Of the special investi-
cations TO be made by the Interstate Com
merce Commission into the car shortage
and the alleged failure Of the railroads 20
move the cars they have He viii present
facts in regard to the suffering in the
Northwest from lack of coal, and will
probably submit "a draft Of a bin 10 meet
such emergencies, prepared by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
y special effort viii be made by the
President, with the assistance of the com
mission, to snow that the railroads have
not. as James J. Hill asserts. done their
best 10 relieve the situation. but that
they have deliberately held back loaded
fuel cars on side tracks because Of pend
ing quaTreis with consignees.
