RAILROADS CONTROL
WATER TERMINALS
Commissioner Smith Would
Have Uncle Sam Break
This Monopoly
BIG PROBLEMS TO Be SOLVED
Harbor Frontage Much Neglect
ed by Seaports of the
United States.

Washington. Sept. 26-CommiSsion-
er of Corporations Herbert Smith
Knox said today in his report: Prob
ably the greatest single detriment to
water terminal advance in the United
States is the present advance of the
railroad towards independent water
traffic, there excluding from the water
frontage by refusal or neglect to CO.
ordinate with the general water traffic
and refusal to prorate generally
with the water lines in the through
movement of traffic" This is one of
the reasons for the conclusions of
Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of
corporations, in part three, just made
public Of his report 70 President Taft
on water transportation in the United
States. After an exhaustive review
of the harbor situation in the country,
Commissioner Smith finds:
That terminals are as important as
channels.
2 That the harbors of the country
have not fully developed their termi
nal frontage, nor are they properly
organized or controlled.
8. That the railroads are large
controllers of water terminals, otter
to the disadvantage of general watel
traffic.
4. That there is almost no linking
up of railroads and general water sys
tens at the waters edge but ratheI
opposite tendencies.
5. That there is no cooperation b!
the railroads with the federal gov
ernment to improve water channels.

TAFT WON'T SEE HARRISON
Interview in Newspaper Brings Re-
Proof to Congressman from New
York State.

Washington, ID. C.-President w. II.
Taft hiss organized the Outside the
Breastworks club and made Francis
ber of congress from New York, a
charter member. For what he be-
lieves to have been reflection on his
personal integrity made by the con-
gressman in a newspaper interview
growing out of debate on the Ballin-
ger-Pinchot affair, the president
bluntly refused to see Harrison in the
executive offices. The reproof was di-
rect, pointed and emphatic.
Harrison called with a delegation Of
prominent men of New York who de-
sired to shake hands with the presi-
dent. The engagement had been
made to former. Secretary Carpenter
two weeks ago. When the president
was informed that the delegation was
waiting outside with congressman
Harrison and Goldfogle he announced
that he would not receive Harrison
under any circumstances and the lat
ter thereupon was compelled to wait
in the room of Secretary Norton while
the delegation passed into the eXecu-
tive chamber and were presented by
Mr.. Goldfogle. Harrison was furious.
The slap was delivered in the pres.
ence of some of the most prominent
New Workers, many of whom are his
constituents as we'll as his personal
friends. According to information OBJ
tanned at the White House there was
no intention of administering public
slight to the congressman and it was
Harrison's own fault that the affair
became public.

van, a policeman in Jersey City, was
electrocuted as result of the storm
that blew down and tangled the tele-

tangled wires. At Pavonia and Kel-
sey streets two telephone wires were
blown down. They twisted around the
telegraph and electric light wires. AS
result of this a telegraph pole was
set afire. Sullivan turned in an alarm
of fire and then decided to telephone
the police station in Seventh street to
have the station notify the electric
light company to shut off the power
that the lives of the firemen might not
be endangered. Sullivan placed his
key into the lock of the patrol box and
was knocked 20 feet.

Are Found Guilty of Conspir-
acy to Defraud.

secretary of the sugar trust, and
Ernest w. Gerbracht, superinten-
dent of the Williamsburg refinery,
were found guilty in the federal court
of conspiring to defraud the govern

inconclusive ordeal that official in all
likelihood will go free.

after about IL hours deliberation, was
not the same in both cases. Heike
was convicted on the sixth count of
the indictment which was blanket
charge covering general conspiracy to
defraud. Conviction in his case car
ries with it maximum of two years

fine, either or both. Gerbracht was
held to be guilty on all six counts of
the indictment which included not
only general conspiracy, but score
or more of overt acts in the case
of particular cargoes. Conviction
in his case carries with it maximum
Imprisonment of IL years and fine of

of them fatally injured, were taken
from the ruins alive.
Bindery girls and linotype men fell
through the huge gap the tank made
in the floors of the building and were
quickly buried under machinery and
timbers at the bottom. The crowds
assembled outside the burning build
ing could plainly hear the shouts Of
the dying inside, while the flames
were slowly travelling toward them,
but practically nothing could be done
to save them.
With the opening of the doors the
groans and cries of those pinned in
the ruins became more distinct. But
just within a massive wall of flames
suddenly arose. Gradually the cries
died out. All attempts at rescue soon
had to be abandoned. The fire ragged
for almost three hours before it was
controlled. The loss on building and
plant is estimated at $450,000.
