WHY THE Shell Wing OF PEACH
CARS HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED
Pennsylvania Railroad issues a Statement Setting
NJ. Forth Reasons For the New Ruling
- Affecting Down-State Shippers

In view Of the fact that the pesch
harvesting season is near at hand, and
that the Pennsylvania railroad has
sent out notices to the effect that it
would be compelled TO discontinue the
shelving Of the cars. the company de-
sires its decision to be thoroughly un-
derstood by both the growers and the
shippers. The reasons for the action
taken are as follows. as given by the
ompany in a formal statement;
Il. Owing to the expense and bur
zen involved, it would be impossible to
supply cars thus equipped to the entire
trritory reached by this company's
Ines of road. Likewise. even II II
were practical TO shelve cars for peach
shipments throughout the country II
wuId not be fair toward other classes
of shippers to withdraw from servfce
. for this exclusive use, a very large
number Of cars at the very time when
. thet are most needed by shippers in
general. Thus. 10 continue the shelv-
i ing of cars for the peach business on
I the Delaware and Maryland Peninsula
would constitute a discrimination pro-
hibited by existing law
!. "2 Independently Of this legal con-
4 sideration, which is obviously controll-

the city's accounts made during the past
year shows clearly that there should be q
consolidation OF the various city depart
ments. The manner of collecting the city
and school taxes and other revenues las
been shown to be entirely too expensive
For instance, one set Of officers at the
Water Department collects the watsr
rents and other revenues OF that DEPART
ment; a separate set Of ofhcers collect the
sewer and curb liens. another officer col-
lects market rents; another collects city
taxes; another dog licenses and various
fees are paid to the Clerk OF Council.

or several OF these bills to pay. is rr-
quired to 80 from office to office to act

enues due the city should be paid direct .

OF the departments for receiving rewsnuss
and paying bills would save thousands Of
dollars annually to the city in ofnoe hem

cars was Objectionable. for the follow
ing reasons:
"A It was an inordinate burden
upon the railroad. To handle the
peach crop Of the Delaware Peninsula
alone It was necessary to shelve from
1000 to 1900 cars. Arrangements TO
install the shelves had to be made
about June ~, If all the cars were to
be ready by August Is, when the heavy
shipping period began Last year a
large number of cars stood idle from
twenty to twenty-five days waiting for
shipments of peaches to commence,
while, at the same time. there were
orders for cars for grain, canned goods
and other commodities, which could
mot be filled, because so many cars
were tied up in the peach trade, and
could not be used for other purposes.
This period Of storage resulted in a
complete loss to the railroad
THE burden upon the railroad was
made all the greater by the uncertainty
Of the peach crop. Two years ago a
large number Of cars we're fitted with
shelves upon the expectation OF a good
season. When almost ripe on the trees.
the entire crop was ruined by RAINY
stored for about thirty days. were -.
turned to the shops to be dismantleo
without having been used.
"Shelved cars must be returned
empty from the markets to the peacn
district This haul was a source OF
exceptional loss by reason. Of the fact
that had it not been for the shelving in
the cars, they could have been used for
q N
the same direction, but held up by a
shortage Of cars.
"B. Shippers themselves were often
necessarily inconvenienced by reason
of the impossibility of supplying suf-
ficient shelved cars to handle a very
large crop. II required from three TO
six days for a car to be returned after
| IL had been shipped with a load Of
peaches. Thus with 1000 cars availabls
and shipments being made at the rate
Of 400 cars a day. three days would
exhaust the entire supply. In num-
Der of cases. the records show that
cars that had been standing idle for
twenty-five days before being loaded
to distant points. were not returned To
the peach district until the season was
over. The practice of shipping In bas-
htlS winch cOulQ only Dc AOl ANSu ~
shelved cars made it impossible for
growers, at the height Of a crowded
season to avail themselves OF such un-
lshelved cars as might be at hand
when the company found that II
would be compelled to alter its mett01
of transportation, it adjusted the rates
from the Peninsula 10 accord there
with. In addition. whereas formerly II
was Necessary to load $4,000 pounds OF
peaches in a car TO secure the carload
rate. now the Delaware shippers get
the benefit of the rate by loading only
l15,000 pounds. These rates and the re-
lduction in the minimum carload
weights were put into effect last sea

Some eighteen years ago Mr.. Taft

Want Motley To
RUN FOR MAYOR
Peculiar Plan Proposed
To Beat AChi's
1,a . Forces

Charles X. Motley, president OF
the Home Rule party, is the latest
candidate for Mayor of Honolulu on
the Republican ticket. This is what
the Hawaiian Republicans are talk
ing about, and some of them think
1t Is possible that he may be elected,
provided he consents to accept the
nomination. II was reported some
time ago that Motley would soon re-
sign as president of the Home Rule
party, but when interviewed about
1t he simply said: II don't know"
Some Hawaiians say that the put
ting up of Motley as candidate for
Mayor is done to attract Hawaiian
voters and to prevent them from be-
ing trapped by the Labor party,
whose influence is being felt. There
have been many names mentioned as
possible candidates for the Mayor
atty on the Republican ticket.
Among the names mentioned have
been those of Jack Lucas, Charles
Hustace, Senator Isenberg, Jack
Dowsett, John Lane, Judge Cooper
and Judge Perry, but none of these
is universally pleasing to the Ha-
waiian electorate.
IF we don't put up good man
for Mayor on the Republican ticket
we cannot whip the Labor party"
said II Republican yesterday. THE
deeper and closer we get in touch
with the Hawaiian voters, the more
we find the need of man who can
get votes, especially those of the
hawaiians."
