for Interstate Commerce
Court.

Representative Townsend, to whom
the administration has entrusted the
bill for carrying out the president Is
state commerce law, says that the bill
would provide for special court for
the consideration of railroad disputes,
the prohibition of ownership of stock
in competing lines of roads, prohibit
the issuance of stocks and bonds held
by railroads in excessive amounts and
generally clothe the commission with
greater power. Mr.. Townsend ex'

Is Out of Business
Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 1s.-Never
in the history of transportation in the
United States has a great railroad been
stricken so seriously as was the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake by the
midwinter thaw. In twinkling the
desert-born torrents Tapped up hun
bred miles Of rails and embankments,
severed the steel bond between the
mountain and sea, and made of a busy
avenue of commerce two disorganized
branches whose ends are lost in the
wilderness.
Millions of dollars of investment tenn
porarily proftless, and hundreds Of cap
able railroad men without employment
are two results of the disaster.
