No Necessity for
Higher Freights
Traffic is Increasing Much More
Rapidly Than Railroad
Mileage.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 2s--Advance copies
were received here today of a reply pre-
pared by Il. E. Williamson of Cincinnati,
chairman of the executive committee Of
associated organizations Of shippers and
receivers, to the circular sent out last

Trunk Line Association Of Railroads, which
declared that a general increase Of freight
rates was necessary.
Mr.. Williamson asserts that in the ten

Of the country increased 70 per cent and
the freight traffic 142 per cent, while the
mileage of the railroads increased but PAL
per cent for main line and S5.5 per cent

Day of Battleship
is Passing, Says
Aeronaut Harmon
Statement in Lecture that One Aero
plane Can Carry Enough ExplO-
sive to Destroy a Fleet.

PASADENA, Cal, Jan. 2S.-Clifford B.
Harmon, the New York aeronaut, said to-
day in a lecture before the Pasadena
Chamber of Commerce that the day of the
battleship had passed.
NO nation" he said, would dare to
send a hostile fleet to these shores on a
hostile mission with so many masters of
the air as aviation is developing ready to
meet 1t.
1T has already been demonstrated" said
Mr.. Harmon, that one balloon or aero
plane can carry enough explosives to an
initiate any fleet in the world, while the
warships would BE powerless to, protect
themselves.
The aeroplane has not yet reached it's
full state Of efficiency, but even now 1t
insures the safety of our coast against
hostile INVASION"

Mahool Of this city. William B. Hurst,
president Of the associations; Secretary of
Commerce and Labor Charles Nagel,
United States Senator Robert La Taylor
Of Tennessee and Representative Joseph
e. Ransdell of Louisiana were the speech
makers of the evening.
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor Nagel
In his address said that the organization
OF corporations under state avs were well
enough years ago, but today there is a
conflict In that corporations large enough
to go beyond state laws are not account
able to the federal government. He also
said that the national government was in
this anomalous position of seeking trade
with foreign nations and being compelled
to stand sponsor for state organizations
over which 1t has nc control whatever. He
also advocated the passage of such laws
as will enable American to be
carried in American bottoms.
Mr.. Ransdell made the statement In
connection with an assertion that terminals
on all navigable waters should be public
property, but in many cases they are owned
n operated by railroads in what Mr..
Rensdell said was lin their selfish inter-
ests, with scant regard for the rights OF
their rivals or the public"
TN cases where the water front has
already been acquired by private parties"
concluded Mr. Ransdell, II would suggest
that the public resume ownership through
condemnation proceedings under the power
of eminent domain, for surely the good Of
the community is superior to the right Of
any private person or corporation"

Premier Asquith came to London today

The premler's first business at this meet
ing will be the reshuffllng OF the ministers
as a result of Herbert ]. Gladstone's APP
polntment as governor OF United South
Africa and the desire Of one or two of the
older ministers to retire. 1t Is reported
that the premier will divide the question
Of the privileges Of the lords into two
parts. the first dealing with the right OF
the House Of Lords to veto finance bills
by simple resolution, and the second, which
may be dealt with later In the form of a
bill based on Sir Henry Campbell Banner
mans resolution limiting the lords veto to
ordinary Legislation under which any meas
IRE would automatically become law after
It had been thrice rejected by the lords.
The polling for Lancashire's fifty-six
seats has now been completed. In 1906 the
liberals won thirty, the unionists fourteen,
the laborites eleven and ne nationalist
one. This year the liberals won twenty
five, the unionists eighteen, the laborltes
twelve and the nationalists one. Thus the
coalition has lost only four seats in Lam
cashlre, which may be said to hold fast
for free trade.
Program of O'Brien.
William o'Brien, who will enter the
new house with a little party of from
eight to ten Independent nationallsts, will,
according to his newspaper, Cork Accent,
do HIS utmost to oppose the passage of the

with the liberals and uphold Parnelrs
policy Of complete independence OF English

While Parliament will assemble on
February d5, there seems to be little likeli-
