The president also discussed at some
length the proposal to except labor
unions and farmers organizations
from other organizations and the trust
law. To specifically except these or
ganizations he declared, would be vic
ious legislation, but he pointed the
way In which they could be relieved
of some of the onerous restrictions
now placed upon them, but at the
same time be held amenable to in
functions, which form of procedure he
believes adequate to deal with any
violations by unions.
Railroad Rates Discussed.
In his speech delivered here
this morning the president de-
voted his time principally TO
railroad rates and the author
ity Of the interstate commerce com
mission. He detailed the passage of
The rate bills several years ago in
which the interstate commerce COM
mission was given the authority to fix
specific rates and he said it must now
be admitted that the act has not fur
nished the expected relief against dis
examinations. "It has been suggested"
the president said, sthat a court be
from the commission shall be final"
He favored such tribunal, but
thought there should be the right of
appeal from its decisions to the high
est court. He cited as fact that the
tariff court has been established AMI
saw no good reason why similar tri-
bunual should not pc provided for in
the matter of railroad regulation
More Power to Commission.
Another suggested change was that
which would give the commission the
power to hear and entertain com
plants against unjust classifcations
of merchandise for transportation.
"As it is now, the railroads can, by
including articles In the same class
which ought to pay different rates,
commit exactly the same king of an
injustice as they would by imposing
exorbitant rates as to any one class"
he said. The president expressed the
opinion that the president should
have the authority to institute COM
plant instead of waiting Tor such ac-
same time he would not give the COM
mission absolute power to fix rates N
advance and on their own initiative
and without complaint filed and in
vestigation made as is done in some
states.
Would Limit stock Holdings.
Another amendment he thought
should provide that the commission
may be ordered to suspend, modify or
annul any changes. TT would seen
well,'' said he, "to empower the COM
mission to compel connecting carriers
forming a through route to fix the rate
and apportionment thereof among the
carriers"
The president thought a most i'm
portant amendment to interstate COM
merce is the prohibition against any
interstate railroad company acquiring
stock in competing railroads in the
future and the further provision that
no railroad engaged in interstate COM
merce shall after certain date hold
stock in a competing railroad and that
the issuance of additional stocks
bonds be subject to the commission;
approval.
Another provision, he said, should
be added by which the railroads may
be permitted to agree upon traffic
rates and make contracts with respect
to rates that shall not be pooling con.
tracts"

ovsters Still on Market.

While the oyster taking season on
the river is practically over. as the
state laws of Maryland and Virginia
make closed season during part OF
April. the months Of May, June. July,
August and the greater part OF Sep
tember the bivalves are still being
brought to Washington in good quanti-
ties.
Yesterday seven vessels were lying at
the wharf with oysters aboard. but the
ca rgoes were small Less than a thou
sand bushels were aboard the entire
fleet.
In spite OF the warm weather OF the
early part of the week. the demand for
oysters at the wharf market continues
good. Bivalves sell at prices ranging
from 40 cents per bushel up to 10 and
20 cents per bushel.
Oysters will be on sale at the wharf
market until hot weather comes and
makes il impossible to keep them out
Of the water for any length OF time.

Mayor Scherff is instructing the
property owners at every opportunity
to keep the weeds and grass moved
down on their vacant lots. The city
Is too poor this year to provide
weed cutters and the matter will
have to be taken in hand by the
property owners themselves. The
police will not tolerate the practice
of residents allowing the weeds and
grass along side walks or on vacant
lots. to grow to an unnatural length.
The health laws of the city are very
strict in this particular, and they will
be enforced to the letter.
The police are planning to have
spring house cleaning in the near
future. 1t Is probable that a col
lection will be taken among the pa
trolmen, newspaper reporters, mayor
and other city executives and sum
sufficient TO pay for oiling the floor,
papering the walls, painting the lock-

SEARCHING FOR
slot MACHINE
Penny Weighing Device
Hauled Away in Daylight
BAD LOCKERS IN THE CITY
Police Keep Weather Eye on
the Night Providers.
Hat VIII be Passed for the Benefit
Of the Police and to Save the
City From Disgrace.

The police are puzzled over the
theft of penny weighing machine,
which mysteriously disappeared from
the Streltiz room on East Center
street, formerly occupied by O'Keefe
brothers. The machine supposedly
contained about $40 in pennies and
was the property OF Cincinnati
firm.
Friday afternoon, the representa-
tive OF the scale firm visited the city
and attempted to locate the lost ma
chine. Petty and Starr. who now
occupy the room, stated that after
O'Keefe brothers moved their fixtures
out, the scale was sitting in a corner
of the room. They declare that while
they were moving their shoe store
tLat some man called. loaded 1t on a
wagon and made away with 1t. They
could only give meager description
of the man.
The scale company representative
called at police headquarters and
asked the assistance of the police in
locating the machine. He declared
that the scale was valued at about
SIS and emphasized the importance
OF locating it. The strange feature
of the theft is the fact that the
m.screant stole the machine in broad
daylight, and at time when There
were number OF workmen about
the room. The extreme boldness OF
the act made 1t successful. The po-
lice have been unable to gain a sin
gle trace OF the mainline and 1t is
probable that the thief stole the
money it contained, then defaced 1t
and sold 1t for old iron.
A reward will be offered for its re-
covery.
