Regarded as Premature
by the Supporters
of Uncle
Joe.

Washington, Jan. 11-Joseph G..
Cannon, OF Illinois, speaker of the
House of Representatives, is a candi-
date for the presidential nomination.
This statement was made today to the
correspondent by a close friend of the
speaker, who said further:
cat the proper time Mr.. Cannon's
boom will be launched. You may de-
pend upon it that his name will be pre-
scented to the next convention. The
only thing that can be urged against
him is his age. But this does not count
much in the case OF the speaker. He
is vigorous, full of life and energy, and
unlike most Did men he has not lost
the power of initiative"

SOUTHERN DEVELOPMENT In 1906.

New railway construction in the South
during 1905, according to figures fur
nished by the Manufacturers Record,
totaled 1902 miles. This was greater
than the new construction in all the
rest of the country put together, if we
Railroad Gazette, which places the total
mileage of new railways last year at
1923. In Southern construction Texas
led with SO miles, followed by Louisi-
ana with Al miles, Arkansas with 2S2
miles, Mississippi with 232 miles, Geor-
gia with 226 miles, West Virginia with
215 miles, North Carolina with 1872 miles,
Virginia with 1852 miles, Florida with
154 miles, Alabama with 1O2 miles and
Maryland with 33 miles. New construc-
ton assured for the current year is
placed by the Record at 4,4O5 miles.
Texas will again lead with S34 miles,
Florida coming second with 500 miles,
and Mississippi, Georgia and Louisiana
following with Over 400 miles each, and
Virginia with over 800 miles. The
RECORD also points u That SOmeS second
track has been built and much new
work done in revision of lines and
grades, in improved stations, ware

and passenger service built last year
totaled only about 100 miles, although
an ampler mileage is projected for this
year. Street railway is not included in
the above figures.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Several Bills Introduced That Are
Comprehensive and
Formidable.

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 1.-THE third
day of the session found both the SEN
ate and House of Representatives OF
the General Assembly moving along in
something of a routine grind of legisla-
ton. A large number of bills were in
troduced in both. houses, some Of them
of considerable Importance; the calen-
lars were cleared of bills passed and
standing committees for both House
and senate completed. So it may be
said hat in three days b machinery
of the legislature is fairly we'll organ
lied.
The bills of most general interest in
troduced were by Speaker Justice in
the House. One relating to public SER
vice corporations prescribes that ade-
quate service shall be maintained, for,
bids discrimination against persons Or
shipping points similarly situated, he
penalty being $500 to those suffering
the discrimination and $500 to the
State. Also fine and imprisonment for
officers permitting discrimination. Fur
Their, still, it makes it unlawful for
railroad employees to work more than
eight hours in twenty-four except where
trains are delayed with the crew. Vio-
lation is made a misdemeanor for Off
GERS permitting it.
Another bill by Justice prescribes two
cent rate on Southern, Seaboard Air
Line and Atlantic Coast Line, with
smaller roads on a two and one-half
cent basis.
Still another by Justice confers on
the corporation commission plenary
power to control and regulate public
service corporations in the State.
A bill by Graham in the Senate is de-
signed to reduce passenger fare to two
and one-half cents first and two cents
second-class, effective April L, pro-
vided the corporation commission finds
such would be fair to the railroads. He
also presented a bill prohibiting free
passes except to families of employees
and some specified exceptions, includ-
ing ministers, objects of charity and
others.
All these bills are in the hands of
committees, and lively fights overt them
are impending.

with persons of the opposite

realize that this is possible
