The one man upon whom more than
any one else depends the question of
whether a satisfactory tariff bill is
quickly formulated by congress is Sena-
tor Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode Isl
and. The Payne bill is the present
topic of tariff discussion, but largely
and principally because the constitu-
tion requires tariff legislation to orig
mate in the house, and Aldrich is in the
senate. Senator Aldrich has already
said that when the tariff legislation
finally reaches the president it will be
not in the form Of the Payne bill, but
in the form Of the Aldrich bill.
Senator Aldrich is chairman of the
senate committee on finance, the coun-
terpart of the house committee on ways
and means. In addition to being chair
man of the committee on finance, SEN
ator Aldrich is pretty much Of the
whole thing when it comes to individual
influence on the program of the senate
He has been doing business in the
senatorial wing of the capitol for q
decade. He is the man who delivers
the goods. He has never been charged
with unfriendliness to corporate inter,
ests He is always on the job.
If there is one man in the congress
of the United States who will have
more to say about the final form Of the
new tariff bill than any other man that
individual is Nelson w. Aldrich.

MAKES Fastest
LONG JOURNEY in
WORLDS HISTORY

Chicago, April Frank A. Van
derlip, president OF the National
City bank of New York. arrived
in Chicago Sunday, after the fast
est journey in the worlds history.
He had travelled on a special New
York Central train from New York
to Chicago in fifteen hours and
twenty seven minutes.
He was just twenty eight min
utes too late to see his mother
alive. Mrs. Vanderlip had been
i'll of pneumonia a week. Her
son started from New York in the
special wnen the doctors tele-
honed him the illness was likely
to be fatal.
The trip cost Vanderlio 50 a
mile. or nearly $4,000. AS a re-
suit of his time railroad officials
say the famous eighteen hour
trains from New York to Chicago
| are likely to be supplanted by
sixteen hour trains.
He was advised Monday that
| his grandmother was dying In the
same house in wnich his mother
died Sunday.

DOUBLE MILEAGE
SHORTER RAILROAD

Chicago April IA civil engineer
who proposes TO shorten a railway
line by doubling its mileage would BIO
regarded as a freak by the average
man; yet today engineers on the Cam
adam Pacific have accomplished that
very thing.
In other words, by doubling its
mileage on certain portion of its
line in the Canadian Rockies. ami con-
structing one OF the most remarkable
systems Of tunnels in the world, the
Canadian Pacific engineers, for all
practical purposes, have more than
cut in half the running time over that
section OF the road.
The section of the line is that POI
ton between Hector and WELD. in the
vicinity of Kicking Horse river. Over
the old line. the distance is Al miles.
over the new line the distance is 80
miles-or nearly double. The saving
is in the big reduction of grade, largely
accomplished by the boring OF three
long tunnels.
In its new course the new line
makes a double turn on itself, not un-
like an elongated figure 8. AT each
end Of the turn are the spiral tunnels,
in themselves a wonderful feat OF en-
cheering.
The road crosses to the opposite
side of the valley. enters mountain
by a spiral tunnel. energies, recrosses
the valley, and enters and comes out
of another mountain by the other
spiral tunnel. One of these tunnels
is 1900 feet in length and the other
one is 1880 feet in length. each having
radius OF 57s feet. The third tunnel
is ITO feet long, at the western end OF
the new section of the line.
The average gradient over the old
line is As per cent. The average
gradient over the new line is 2.2 per
cent, or a little less than half. BY cut
ting the grade In half, not only is the
running time reduced by hours, but
the cost OF operation is cut down IN
the same ratio. For instance. over the
old line, four engines were required
to haul a dead weight Of TO tons.
Over the new line, two engines will
be able to haul dead weight Of $50
tons.

times at which the events of the day
take place would remain the same.

trary conventions; we refuse TO shake
off the chains in which we have bound
ourselves; we are Matthew Arnold 3
Philistines with our Gfaith in maehin-
cry, missing the most glorious hours
of daylight from petty considerations
Of cloc kwork.
The clocks are to be advanced one
hour on the third Sunday in April of
each year and set back one hour on
the third Sunday in September in each
year. BY this method it is calculated
that 21O hours of daylight that are
now, to all intents and purposes, wasted
would be saved, and with this saving
would come another saving of 100000
pounds Of artificial light.
The diagrams given here show the
hours of darkness and daylight and
normal sleep on April Is and what
they would be under the daylight saw
ing bill.

London, April 1.-When William
Willett first began the agitation for his

scorn and derision. This was several
years ago. Now bill before parlia-
ment has passed its second reading and
will undoubtedly be made law to the
effect that all clocks in England be
turned back one hour during the sum
mer months.
This is due to the fact that now the
public is beginning to recognize that
many of the objections to the proposal
are frivolous and superficial and that it
rests on sound basis of common sense.
For ordinary purposes it is difficult
to see how, after the first day, the sug-
gested change could make any differ
ence or be a hardship to anyone, pro-
viding all clocks were simultaneously

and is being swept helplessly over the
country. She is out of control and
drifting with no hope of being able to
make Roadway against the increasing

a landing. Soldiers in swift autos are
racing over the country after the ves-
sci, in order to be on hand should a
descent be attempted, and several
squadrons of heavy cavalry have been
ordered out and are galloping down
the roads to the northeastward for
the same purpose.

of III miles was covered in five hours
