Arguments on National Con-

Holds That Congress Cannot Regu
late on This Point to Exclusion

The Railroad Securities Commission
Of which Presiden. Hadley of Yale is
chairman. and which is engaged in Sc
curing information and opinions on
questions pertaining to the issuance
of stocks and bonds by interstate rail-
roads. has invited Attorney Arthur c.
Graves of New Haven to express his
opinion on The questions which have
been suggested by the commission.
These points are set forth by the
board in its letter.
1.-THE advisability Of federal regula-
ton of railroad securities: the extent
and method of such regulation If 1t
is deemed advisable: the advisability
of federal regulation first. il 1T ex-
cludes similar State regula ion. or sec
ond. If it is found not to exclude such
State regulations; and the legality OF
such regulation"
The board Is at present sit ing. in
New York to hear opinions on these
questions Attorney Graves stated
last night that he would reply along
he line Of the relation of federal to
State regulation and would show that
lation Of a railroads internal affairs
and not Of commerce and therefore
that The federal government cannot
exercise regula ton to the exclusion OF
State regulation.
1t is generally admitted he declared,
by the best authori les even those IA
voring regulation. that federal regula-
ton would be unwise unless it can be
made to exclude State regulation. In
addition Mr.. Graves will at 4empt to
show that federal regulation of capital
zation would discourage any appro-
priations for permanent improvements
out of surplus and would hence in
crease the relative capitalize ion.

Ex-senator Smith who is seeking
election to the Senate. despite the vote
of the New Jersey Democratic primar-
les for MARITIME. is spoken of by the
New York Evening Pos. as follows:
In 1894 James Smith Of New Jersey
was one of the little group Of Demo-
cratic Senators who. With German at
their head. brought disgrace upon the
Democratic party in the Tariff struggle
In Congress-. It was their alliance with
Republicans of the Aldrich type. their
undermining OF the work of Cleveland
and Wilson. their use OF the power
given them by the; slenderness of he
Democratic majority in the Senate,
that caused the splendid victory of
1892. though loyalty followed up by
nearly the whole Of the Democratic
Senate. to end IN tariff bill which
Cleveland stamped with. the brand of
"perfidy and dishonor." Upon the
light that was thrown in a Congress
sional INQUIRY upon the personal con-
nect.on OF Mr.. Smith wi h matters af-
at this time to enter. What is thought
OF his career as q whole by his fell
low-ci liens Of New Jersey Is suffi-
ciently evident. He IL the perfect
type of the corporation man in poll
has Justly earned pubic opprobrium
In every section OF the Union. and
among honest citizens Without dis
tinction of party, For New Jersey to
send him to the Senate as the outcome
Of an cleo ion which made Woodrow
Wilson Governor by an overwhelming
majority would be grotesaue: to re-
buke Republican corruption In Noverf1-
Der by phenomenal vote. and in jan
nary interpret that vote by sending
the Senator from Havemeyer' back

MELLEN'S NOVEL
FREIGHT METHODS

Boston. Dec. 23-Instructions are now
in the hands of the printer, to be at
once sent out to agents on the New
Haven and the Boston and Ma me,
that are expected to effect a notable
change in the methods of handling
. carload freight on these roads. The
new system involves subdivision of
New Ravens territory into twenty
FIVE groups or sections. These group
ings will henceforth definitely fix the
route which any particular carload
shipment OF freight shall travel, ac-
cord ng to it's places Of origin and des-
tination.
While the new system will be some
what an experiment in the history
of American railroading. it is believed
that it will effect very large econo-
miles, saving train mileage and MAX
ing for faster transit and great ease
in tracing cars. a. Running of through
trains for much longer distances than
has previously been feasible will be
one Of the resulting benefits. 1t costs
from 20 to 80 cents every time a
FREIGHT car is picked up or dropped
which gives some idea of the oppor-
tunities for lower ng operating ex-
penses in this direction.

DISLIKE TWO
DAYS CLOSING
New Haven Real Liquor Deal.
ers Claim it Works Hard
ship

There was a largely attended meet
ing Of the New Haven Retail Liquor
Dealers association yesterday after.
noon, and a general discussion Of
matters pertaining to Forthcoming
legislation at the next session of the
legislature prevailed.
A resolution was framed for pre-
sentation to the State Retail LIQUOR
Dealers association. calling attention
to the hardship which applies to sa-
loon men requiring the closing Of
their places on Sunday, as under the
present law This law it is claimed
works q hardship for the reason that
important grocery firms are allowed
to sell package goods on these days.
Other matters were also suggested
for legislation.
The idea which seemed to per-
meate the meeting was that there
must be renewed activity at Hartford
this year in order to keep pace with
expected temperance legislation.
