RAILWAYS WANT EXEMPTION
OF ALL ELECTRIC ROADS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Attorney
General Wickersham today received
a call from railway attorneys who ex-
pressed the wish that any legislation
giving shippers a choice of routes over
which their consignments are to be
carried, shall not apply where electrc
passenger carrying roads are included.
1t is understood that satisfactory as
surance was given by the attorney
general thu the bill covering the ad-
ministration amendment to the inter-
state commerce law would not apply
in such cases.
The railroad men included Walter
d. Hines, of the Santa Fe; George "
May, of the Pennsylvania; Albert H.
Harris, of the New York Central, and
E. G. auckland, of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford.
The bill, it is said. will not affect
express companies.
Those who have been instrumental
IN framino the proposed ann ndnents
are confident that the railroads will
be satisfied with the measure.
Members of the special committee
appointed by the president to draft
the amendment. say that the railroad
interests will object to the measure
to the last. Railroad men will be
given every opportunity to present
their side of the case.

ections. The delegates were formally
welcomed to Utah by Governor Spry
md the city of ogden by Mayor Will
am Classma-. who presented the con-
rention with a formal surrender of the
,ity engraved on SheepSkin.
A j. Knollin of Chicago, eastern
ice president, addressed the conven-
ton
Mr.. Knollin quoted many statistics,
showing the capacity of the eastern
and middle states to sustain a much
larger number of sheep than at pres
emit, drawing the conclusion that al
though the possibilities for sheep and
wool growing on eastern farms are un-
limited, the sheepmen of the west need
not feel alarmed about the markets
being oversupplied, owing to the dis
inclination of farmers to properly care
for sheep and their development, pre-
ferring to raise cattle and hogs or sell
their products direct.
Mr. Knollin said:
1--WE may accept two facts without
question-first, that the increase OF
sheep and wool production farms is
possible; second, that it is desirable
and therefore we may with profit con-
slider how it may be brought about
First in Importance, stability is nee
essary. an industry that can be de-
pended upon to yield reasonable profits
from year to year will be developed
Second in Importance. 1 will place
knowledge. The stability of our sheep
and wool industry can only be main
tanned by permanent protective
tariff-a tariff that protects the cross
hreds and lower grades of wool. I'm
ess sheep are profitable our farmers
put them aside for other things not
requiring such careful attention.
Mr.. Knollin further claimed that an
other reason for the encouragement
and protection of the sheep industry
was the fact that sheep are not only
conservators of natural resources, but
'nrich the soil and increase it's pro-
ductiveness.
Among the guests of the convention

Of the Japanese government, who is

"a with a view of increasing the indus

Among the topics to be discussed by
the convention it is probable that
here will be some expression against
he United States bureau of animal in
1ustry on account of it's attitude on

iinually arising rs to the proper class
ifcation Of articles. For iastarce.
there is now pending question with
relation to mems suspenders, which
might be imported under three differ

quality or differing constructions Of
sections of the law. Or all suspenders,
whether made of silk. wool or cotton,
might come in under one rate as web

praisers and will finally, undoubtedly.

Somewhat similar questions are &C.
earring all the time and it is import
ant to importers as well as to the
treasury department to have them set
lied as early as possible
There are also questions arising as
tn whether the value of a certain lot of
imported goods has been correctly APP
praised or not.
n both OF these classes of conflict
between the importers and the treasury
department the matter is always re-
ferred to the board of general APP
praisers in New York. In view of the
fact that these subjects of dispute are
continually occurring at all of the
principal ports of the country, and
that considerable inconvenience and
