Tell Changes
NOW Desired

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Attorney
General Wickersham appeared before
the senate committee on interstate
commerce late today and explained in
detail the latest administration chan
ses desired in the bill to create court
VI commerce and amend the interstate
commerce laws.
1t had been expected that an effort
would be made today to bring the sub
iect to vote and that the bill might
be ordered favorably reported but Mr..
Understands statement and the ques-
tons put TO him consumed so mach
time that it was decided to hold an
other meeting tomorrow. Senator
Cummins, author of the rival railroad
BIZ, examined the attorney general
with care concerning many features of
the administration bill that conflict
with his own bill At the same time
he did not condemn the administration
bill and the indications are that no
great difficulty Will be encountered In
reaching an agreement for a report
Tariff Is Discussed.
Discussion of the constitution and
the tariff crept into the proceedings
of the house committee on interstate
commerce when Commissioner Glenn
ents was giving his views on prov;s-
ions of the Townsend and Mann bills
for the amendment OF the commerce
law.
getting into the question Of protective
tariff and free trade when the commit
tee brought up the long and short haul
problem with particular reference to
lower railroad rates for goods shipped
to and from abroad
The railroad reply to criticism of
that discrimination, he said, was that
if they did not allow the lower rates

routing arrangement WOulu.
He suggested that the committee
might include in the proposed legisla-
ton provision permitting a maximum
percent of difference between these
foreign rates and the domestic rates or

SUGAR CANE CUTTERS STRIKE

POINT A -PITRE, Guadaloupe, Feb
21.-Twenty thousand sugar cane cut
ters went on strike today and all ag-
ricultural work has been stopped. The
situation is serious, as the troops and
police are insufficient TO preserve order
among the strikers.
The trouble hogan yesterday when
1000 men went on strike and set fire
to five of the estates on which they
had been employed.
Troops were sent to the scene when
the strike became general today.

Inert Trading on
Exchange all Day

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.--A few board
room regulars at the stock exchange
had the market almost entirely to
themselves today. Many members
went home Saturday with the determ-
ination not to return until after to-
norrow's holiday. The market was
inert and trivial in face Of these con-
ditions. Sellers turned buyers before
the decline had proceeded to any APP
preciable extent and the buyers shift
ed to the selling side on the advances
The hesitation which developed in the
latter part Of last week was accepted
as evidence of the loss of force in the
upward movement of recovery
The operators had little material on
which t, form opinions of conditions
There was a perceptible effort to re-
vive the influence of the corporation
laws in the attention paid to the rea
sumption of the sittings of the SUI
preme court after its three weeks re-
cess DESTINATIONS preparations were
made to secure early information of
I POSSIBLE decision in the American
Tobacco case and the selling of stocks
during the morning was based partly
on the supposed possibility. In the
domestic field the principal interest
centered in the news of violence in
connection with the Philadelphia
street car strike. The necessity for
adjustment of various wage contro-
versies is seen, but a tranquil view
has been taken Of the prospect in the
financial center owing to the convic-
ton that a spirit of compromise would
rule and would conduce to settlements
satisfactory to both sides.
Railroad traffic officials sent in
cheerful reports of freight business
in sight. Stocks ended the day not
far from Saturdays closing prices.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Examin-
alton of precedents at the navy depart
ment has convinced officials that there
can be no ground for protest by coun-
sci for Passed Assistant Surgeon A
H. Robnett against the sentence of the
court martial in his case, based upon
the plea that this constituted double
punishment, in view of the reprimand
previously administered.
In 1906 a sailor was accidentally
killed in a launch in Cavite bay by
some one on the cruiser Charleston,
then engaged in target practice. The
executice officer OF the Charleston re-
ceived a formal letter of reprimand
from the naval commander OF the sta
ton When the records reached Wash

dered the trial of the officer by court
martial
The plea of double punishment was
set UP, but the attorney general rem
dered a decision. since accepted with
out question by the navy department,
that such letter did not constitute
Il punishment in the sense intended
by naval regulations.

A Realty Dealers association that
Will send representatives to the Coun-

and get together a special train of
homeseekers, bring them to Grand
valley and sell them local real estate
and inaugurate a forceful follow-up
system to get still more people out
here, was organized at the Real Es-
tate Mems banquet this afternoon at
at the La Court
A committee composed of A. C.
Milne, w. A. Marsh and o. G. Coen
was appointed at the last meeting to
plan an organization of this charac-
ter and their report was adopted to-
day. An executive committee COM
posed of A. C. Milne. w. A Marsh, o.
G. Coen. C. L. Cherrington and NJ. o.
Delaplain was selected which will
meet tomorrow evening to elect Of
ficers and attend to other necessary
matters pertaining to the association
The name Grand Valley Orchards
Lands association was chosen.
Signing the agreement which forms
the basis of the association were 10
of the most prominent realty firms in
the city each pledging $50 for an
advertising and expense FUND. Very
probably the list will reach twenty
five before the organization is per-
fected.
A tremendous advertising cam
paign, engineered along sane lines,
will be inaugurated and the conser-
vative real estate men of the city who
usually look askance at ordinary ad-
vertising campaigns, declare they
have never spent money before from
which they were so confident of re-
turns.
A feature of the meeting was at its
close VIM. Buthorn placed big
pumpkin on the table which. he said,
contained his pledge to the associa-
ton. Opened, it was found to con-
tain $50 in nickles.
Clarence A. Lyman was the prin-
cipal speaker at the luncheon, his ad-
dress appearing in another column.

AMERICAN AvIATOR'S
SENSATIONAL FLIGHT
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Belmont Park, Oct. 31.-John b.
Moisant, an American aviator, was
hailed here today as the winner OF
the great flight yesterday to the Stat
ue of Liberty in New York harbor
and return. for $4,000 purse of
fered by Thomas Fortune Ryan.
In one of the most thrilling races
in the history of aviation Moisant de-
feated his riyals-Count Jacob De-
Lesseps, Frenchman. and Claude
Grahame-White. the Englishman,-
easily distancing the former, but de-
feating the latter by only 43 seconds.
Claude Grahame White said today
that he would issue an official chal-
lenge to Moisant and put up purse
of $4,000 for another flight around
the Statue of Liberty, or over any
other course that the winner OF yes
terday's contest might choose
Grahame-White claimed that this
meet was not officially closed; but
said that 1t was tired of making pro-
tests. He said he was confident of
beating Moisant.
Grahame-White bases his demands
for another flight on the fact that it
had been announced by the officials
of the meet that attempts might be
made to fly around the Statue of Lib
erty.
