house, is quoted today as saying:
1T is too powerful to yield with
out struggle to any demand that it
dissolve and reorganize. Besides, l
do not believe the department of
justicye is at all sure yet that is can
prove that the corporation exists in
violation Of the Sherman law. It
also remains to be seen whether the
house committee will bring to light
facts. which will prove restraint of
trade and monopoly. 1t is my opin-
ion, however. that eventually the
steel trust will consent to a volun-
tary dismemberment."

May wheat sold here at $1.O3%,
and at Minneapolis at SLIP. So
lively was the trading that it was i'm
possible to follow individual opera
tions. Every foot of room on the
steps Of the pit supported one or
more wildly shouting brokers, and
looking down from the galleries, the
crowd below seemed almost like a
mass of rapidly waving arms, the
owners of which could not be distin.
guished, It was general gossip that
an increase of 25 to 35 cents bar

It was the accepted view that with
no Canadian wheat available the

a position to command greatly en-
fhanced figures, at least from mills

quoted as declaring an advance oi

Seabreeze and Daytona Beach are
essentially summer and winter re.
sorts and are making hundreds OF
new friends every year among those
who desire to escape the discomfort
int extremes Of heat and cold, and
their hotels and boarding houses
are now receiving splendid patron

class Of tourists.
The ocean itself, with its marvel
Gus beach, hard as macadam and

seem to have entered into a combi-

The beach is the famous automobile
race course where every worlds

and all these records it continues to

The beach has a width of 800 to

mands. Besides hotels and boarding
houses there is ample cottage acco-
mediation for all winter visitors in
both towns.
All the attractivcness Of Seabreeze
applies to Daytona Beach, the two
J towns being SO similarly situated.
The development Of Daytona Beach
has been fully as phenomenal as its
sister on the north, and each yea,
there is a substantial growth. The
great sand dunes have been leveled
and handsome homes have been
built for both winter and all-year'

WANTS FREE-DELWERY.
TERRITORY EXTENDED
Columbia Heights Citizens
Association Appeals to
Transportation Companies.

Definite action looking to the extension
of the territory in the city in which fast
freight is delivered free of charge by
the railroad and steamboat companies
has been taken by the executive commit
tee Of the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association. A formal resolution was
prepared and forwarded to the gen
eral freight agents of the companies con-
cerned asking them to make an immedt-
ate investigation Of existing conditions.
with view to granting relief
For several years-ever since Columbia
Heights and Washington Heights devel-
oped to the extent that the old city
boundary at Florida avenue became a
misnomer-the agitation for the removal
of the extra tariffs for freight delivery
has been almost continuous In recent
months, however, no such direct and spe-
cific statement Of the facts in the case
has been offered as is CONTAINED In the
preamble and resolution drafted and
adopted by the Columbia Heights citi-
zens.
Before its adjournment for the sum-
mer the citizens association registered
a protest against the continued exclusion
of Columbia Heights from the free deliv-
cry territory, and the matter was left in
the hands of the executive committee.
The committee made an investigation and
set forth it's grievance in about these
terms:
Grievance of Committee.
THAT the free-delivery territory ex-
tends only to Florida avenue on the
north, while 1t reaches as far as 37th and
U streets. Georgetown; that all deliveries
north of Florida avenue are subject to
an extra charge; that the arrangement
OF the free-delivery territory dates as far
back as 1888. or more than a quarter Of
century ago, when both population and
business north of Florida avenue were
negligible quantities: that Columbia
Heights and the adjacent regions have
developed into an integral part of the
city, and now receive Just consideration
from express, telegraph, baggage trans
fer and other public utility corporations,
and that the people of Columbia Heights.
whose distance from stations and wharves
Is no greater than is Georgetown, pro-
test that their exclusion from the free
delivery zone Is an unreasonable dis
elimination.
The committee concludes with the
statement that 1t believes the transpor; A.
ton companies. If advised of existing
conditions. will be no less accommodate
ing to the public than are express and
other companies. In presenting the reso-
luton to the representatives of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, and
the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company. the committee urgently asks
an answer not later than June l. SO that
the association may be promptly adj
vised from the presentation of their
needs
