a QUESTION OF FReloHTs.

Two years ago when construction Of
the A.. B. & A. terminals had proceed
ed far enough to indicate their mag
nitude when completed. prominent
citizen of Brunswick with a Sunday
party examining the work exclaimed:
Where can the A., B. & A. find
freight for these terminals?"
At that time the A., B. & A. was
handling freight cars averaging at
least seyenty-fve cars a day into the
eity-say 100000 tons a year-this over
an incomplete line.
The capacity of the A.. B. & A.
terminals when completed will be
about 100000 tons Of exports. if ex-
ports and imports equally divided
about 100000 tons imports. a total
of 100000 tons per year. Where is
It coming from?
From the line in Georgia extended
to Atlanta It should rapidly increase
in export along to at least 5000. 900
tons. an average of $50 cars per day.
Where is the other four CT five mil
lion tons Of exports coming from? The
Alabama territory creates in iron,
steel and coal a product Of about
15,O0o,o0O tons, In other products Of
about 100000 tons.
The coast outlets for north Alabama
are Savannah, Brunswick, Mobile. Pen
sacolay New Orleans, will be Tampa,
100000 tons of the Alabama freight
may be estimated shipped to interior
points. leaving 100000 tons for the
ports.
1t viii be remarkable If the A.. b
& A.. the shortest line out Of north
Alabama to the sea coast at Bruins
wick. avoiding all the dangers Of
transit through the straits Of Florida,
saving nearly a thousand miles Of
ocean distance over Gulf ports. does
not get at least 1900 } tons Of this
trade coastwise and foreign.
What of the future Ct this Alabama
territory described by Abram s. Hew
lit as he Eldorado of American enter
prise and American achievement
It's 2O,OOO,OoO tons of yearly freight
judging by development since 1880,
will exceed 100000 tons.
The above are conservative esti-
mates of freight originating in the
territory by this line. The exports
from the portion of Georgia trayersed
by this line should in ten years reach
100000 tons year; from Alabama
100000 tons a year, making total
Of 100000 tons a year
An import trade ought to be created
with Europe, south and central Amer
lea. through this port handled by this
road Of not less than 100000 tons
by 1920.
OF course this viii necessitate an
increase of terminal facilities beyond
any plans now contemplated. The to-
tai maximum capacity of this road
when completed win be less than
100000 tons.

business which belongs to this road

Chicago, June 18.-The PRONUNCIATION
of a letter from Vice President Fair
banks reiterating his 'irrevocable de-
termination not to again be a candi-
date for the office he now holds is the
most important development in connec-
ton with the vice presidential nominal

II appreciate fully the compliment
paid me by my friends in their insist
ence that I should accept a renomina-
ton for vice president, yet my deter
mination not to be candidate again
as announced before the close of the
last session of congress through you is
absolutely irrevocabIe. My conclusion
does not grow out of any want of ap-
probation of the honor for the vice
presidency is an honor which any
man may well covet. No one is obliged
to step down to it.

Vice Presidency Likely to Go tC
Either Cummins or Fairbanks.

Chicago, June IS. = Lafayette
Young, delegate-at-large from Iowa
has received a telegram from Secre-
tary Loeb which stated that President
to see Governor Cummins's name on
the ticket or that of any other
particular person. Secretary Loeb's
telegram was response to a telegram
from Mr.. Young in which the latter
asked for an explanation of the
presidents attitude on the vice presi-
Dental nomination. Following is the
text of Mr.. Loeb's message:
THE president has not expressed
any opinion for or against any candi-
date for the vice presidency and will
no more express an opinion against
Governor Cummins than he would
against Senator Dolliver."
Mr.. Young who has heretofore been
classed among the opponents of Gov
ernor Cummins, said that he would do
nothing to prevent the latter's nomi-
| nation.
alter the vice presidential situation
and the opinion is as it has been that
the nomination will go either to Fair
banks or Gov. Cummins.
The failure by New York to caucus
on the vice presidential situation is
regarded as practically eliminating
that state from the contest.
Tt was said that Edward G. Lines
who is regarded as Governor; Guild s
personal representative in the Massa-
chusetts delegation expressed the
governors intention to stand by his
vice presidential boom until the last
gun was fired. The lines having been
drawn substantially between east and
west in the situation and New York
being practically out of 1t, became an
interesting question whether the east
could unite upon any man who could

of Governor Guild and Ex-Governor
Murphy of New Jersey, were most
frequently mentioned.

Fingers on Convention Pulse.
Washington, June 1S-President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft today
had their fingers on the pulse of the
Chicago convention. Shortly before
10 O'Clock this morning the secretary
department and plunged into the BUSH
ness of the day. Secretary Carpenter
presented him several routine matters
concerning the war department. In
the course of the disposition of these,
Secretary Taft was requested by
photographer to post for picture.
"Al right" he responded genia1ly..

The photograph was taken while the
secretary was sitting at his desk trans
acting the government business.
Awaiting him on his desk, Secretary
Taft found a bundle of teiegrams from
Chicago and from various other parts
of the country, nearly all Of them re-
lating to some phase of the convention
proceedings. He received with partic-
ular qualification the information that
the committee on resolutions had
agreed upon a platform substantially
in the form he desired it to be-
Over night exchanges of kilograms
between the president and Secretary
Taft and their leaders in Chicago had
indicated that a few slight changes
had been agreed upon at the meeting
of the resolutions committee. These
changes were not unsatisfactory to
either the president or to the secretary.
In the early morning exchanges the in
dications were that no contest over any
of the planks of the platform was to be
expected on the floor of the convention
from members of the resolutions COM
mittee. It is not regarded here likely
that a serious contest over the plat
form will develop.
Already the matter of the national
craftsmanship has been taken up with
Secretary Taft and he is being bonn
barded with kilograms in support of
various men. 1t can be said that a de-
termination has not been reached re-
speeding the craftsmanship of the COM
mittee and none will be reached until
after the convention shall have adj
journed.
After disposing of such business as
was on his desk when he reached the
war department and receiving two or
three visitors Secretary Taft went 10
the executive offices for a conference
with President Roosevelt. They were
joined a few minutes later by Secretary
Root and together they discussed the
situation as it was reported to them
from Chicago.

TAFT WENT TO WHITE HOUSE.
Immediately Following the Roosevelt
Demonstration at Chicago.

Washington, June 18.-After word
had been received at the White House
that the cheering for President Roose-
welt in the convention hall had con-
tinued As minutes, Secretary Taft
came over to the White House and
with his usual good natured smile,
hurriedly went into the presidents
office. Mr.. Roosevelt had been care
fully reading all the bulletins received
at the White House and both he and
Mr.. Taft were fully informed of what
was taking place in the convention
hall One sentence in the president s
bulletin impressed him very forcibly
as indicating that the delegates were
not all in fact carried away by the
excitement. This was statement
that two-thirds Of the delegates had
retained their seats.
Secretary Taft was in communica-
ton with his managers in Chicago and
kept apace with the situation as it
developed from incident to incident.
Reports of the committees to the con-
vention which had been forecasted in
the early private advices were received
with satisfaction both by the secre-
tary and the president. There were
important exchanges between Secre-
tary Taft and his Chicago friends as
to the platform, especially as to the
anti-injunction plank. The view here
is that the plank will be retained in
the platform as it was agreed upon
tentatively.
A rumor was in circulation that If the
plank should be eliminated Secretary
Taft in the event of his nomination
might find later a way, probably in his
speeches of acceptance co announce
authoritatively his own views on the
subject. The report could not be
traced to an authoritative source and it
is mot possible either at the White
House or at the war department to
confirm it in any degree.
Mr.. Taft saw the president but a
short time and returned to the war
department.
Shortly afterward the president went
over from the executive office to the
White House to take a rest before
going out for a drive.
Mr.. Leob remarked that the conven-
ton needed ito blow off steam and
now having done so. he supposed every
body there felt better and that that
was the end of it. All motive for any
special message by the president to mis-
friends in the convention passed when
order in the convention, hall, was re-
stored, 81

Vice Presidential Question
The vice presidential question was
still entirely unsettled when activities
began this morning. The confidence of
many that the close of the convention,
would find Vice President Fairbanks In
his old place on the ticket was decid-
eddy shaken last night by the circula-
ton of a letter from him to his cam
paign manager, Joseph B. Heating, in
which he declared as absolutely ire
vocable'' his discrimination, announced
through Mr.. Heating before the close
of the last session of congress not to
be a candidate for denomination. In
spite of this it was asserted with q
good show of confidence by thoses urg-
ing the vice presidents denomination
that he would not decline If it were
unanimous. In any event unless the
work of the convention today is I'M

Cummins of Iowa, Guild of Massachus-

and Cortelyou of New York. Murphy of
New Jersey, Knight of California and
others, all have their advocates.
Another fine day was promised By
conditions of the early hours, with ris-
ing temperature as the day wore on.
Whatever the memories of disappolnt-
ment in developments political the
various camps of delegates take home
with them, they will to admit that
in respect to the weather which chi
cago has furnished for convention
week, nothing was left to be desired.

INJUNCTION PLANK.
As Adopted by the Full Committee on
Resolutions.

Convention Hall, June 18.-The
biggest problem before the, resolutions
committee of the Republican conven-
tion-that of the proposed plank in

ton of the limitation of the use OF
court injunctions in labor controver-
sizes, was disposed of early this morn
ing, at o'clock, when by vote of 35
to 16 with one state (South Carolina
not recorded, the full committee
agreed to the plank. 1t was predicted
after the vote that there would be no
fight on the matter on the floor OF the
convention when the full report of
the committee was made today.

separate statehood plank for Arizona
and New Mexico, thus reversing the
subcommittee action.
