Rees, Moore Voted Against Propo-
sition, and Messrs. Darling, Lee.
Richardson, Weymouth, Hudgins.
Face, isIey, Holtzclaw, Booker and

Resolving itself into committee
of the whole, the Hampton city coun-
Gil last night, by vote of 10 to D.
accepted the offer made by the New
port News and Old Point Railway and
Electric company, in consideration OF
permission to abandon Locust stree
and operate shorter schedule on
King street. The action of tn com
mittee of the whole will be finally
acted upon at the regular session OF
the council on the first Thursday
evening in October.
The offer of the railway company,
which was presented by Councilman
Hunter r. Booker, as chairman o.
the special committee to confer with
the railway officials. was to give a
2B cent school children ticket; hve
cent round trip tickets on the King

a transfer car to met the working
men at the corner of Locust and East

that it had gained big concession

thought likewise.
Councilman Darling favored accept

cred the railway company had MADE
a good offer. He told of the fnanclai
way to look at a proposition and saia
he thought Mr.. Payne had erred IN
granting a five cent round trip ticket

4 PERIOD OF REST.

Mr.. B. F. Yoakum. chairman Of the Rock
Island Railroad executive committee, in his
address on Wednesday night before the Traffic
Club of st. Louis urged that the railroads OF
the country needed a period of rest and recu-
peration and opportunity to adjust them
selves to the existing reguative legislation.
There must be, he said. no further hasty, Ill
considered legislation placed on the statute
books as a result of agitation. Of the 10 per
cent decline in gross earnings he thought that
he could sscribe per cent to state laws reduc-
ing passenger and freight rates. Considering,
however, the extent TO which the operation Of
such laws has been held up by injunctions. it
appears hardly likely that so large a percentage
Of loss was due to them. The number OF idle
freight cars all winter seems enough to account
for most Of the decline in earnings
But to large extent Mr. Yoakum has al
ready had in the last winter such q period as
he desires A very different disposition has
prevailed in politics from that Of last year. So
far as we can recall no 2-cent fare law and
10 maximum freight rate law have been passed
by any state legislature this year while num-
unconstitutional by the courts. The dema-
a marked disposition to rest from their labors.
Governors Hoke Smith, Glenn and Conner have
rnodestly retired from the top lines. 1t is de-
sirable that this condition should continue, and
the power of maintaining It, so far as the rail
roads are concerned. rests chiefly in the hands
OF the railroads. If they show reasonable
regard for public opinion they are likely TO
have long period of relief from agitators.
