to prescribe the speed of trains will be
effective In compelling carriers to install
safety devices. Such a provision con-
templates the comforting of authority
upon the commission to penalize railroads
for running their trains beyond a Ger
tain speed, except under conditions to be
prescribed by the commission. Competi-
tion. it is contended, would compel all the
railroads to meet the condition imposed
IL any one should be able to run at the
maximum speed.
Officials of the commission express the
opinion that the power alone to prescribe
the speed of trains under restrictive con-
ditiOns would be a long step in the direc-
tion of preventing wrecks.
II the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is empowered to prescribe the num-
Der OF men in a train crew, il probably
will conflict with several State laws on
this subject, notably the New York State
law which went into effect only a few
months ago, and which has added con-
siderably to the operating expenses of
New York State railroads.
Passengers Need Protection.
The commission has reached the con-
clusion that the work of regulating
freight rates now is well in hand, and
that the time has come for a further
step in the direction of furnishing protec-
ton to the passengers of the United
States
officials Of the commission say that
they have received assurances from
members of the House and Senate that
there will be no delay in the considera-
tion Of such legislation.
1t is conceded that the proposed legis-
lation is likely to subject the railroads
to considerable expense but the Com
mission is certain to give this matter its
earnest consideration when it comes to
consider the application of the carriers
for an increase in freight rates
The Commission now is considering the
advisability of calling a conference of
the officials of the construction depart
ments of the big railroads and of the
makers of steel rails to determine what
step shall be taken to meet the defects
in rails caused by the increased weight
of locomotives and cars, which creates
a wheel pressure far greater than was
the case when the standards of steel rails
were terminated years ago. The new de-
feet, which is called transverse assure.
cannot be detected by tests before the
rail is laid. inasmuch as 1t is caused solely
by the high wheel pressure.

RYAN WILL COACH

Charlottesville Couege-WiN Assume Duties on
March Fifteen.
By SENATOR

NEW YORK, Feb. n.-Jack Ryan.
the Climbers veteran coach. after con-
ferrtng with Clark Griffith. today wired
the University Of Virginia that he
would accept the position Of coach of
Of the baseball team there. and win
take charge on March Is. to continue
till May J. While the Washington team
Is at Charlottesville Ryan Will take
care Of both teams. and will remain

pires before joining the Climbers on

sanitary and I'd rather be fined for
breaking this rule than have one Of
my players taken ill"
Col. Bob Hedges. the Mound City mag
nate, was filled with wrath over this
charge by Griffith and did not hesitate
to say SO. He denounced the statement
as false. but Jake Stahl and Connie
Mack sided with Griffith, and Hedges
was informed that he would have to
have suitable quarters for visiting
teams in st. Louis this season.
The Philadelphia club also came in
for some criticism, with Griffith again
to the fore as chief complainant. The
Athletics quarters for visiting players
are cold and damp and this season must
be equipped with patent dryers. The
Washington club must do the same
thing, too, providing dryers to keep the
uniforms in condition for use. Manager
Griffith did not overlook the short
comings of his own club In his denuncia-
ton of other clubs and was rewarded
for his fair stand in the matter by hav-
ing the league vote to require suitable
places for visiting teams to dress. The
umpires, at the behest of President Ban
p. Johnson. will judge Of the conditions
and then the head of the league will act
accordingly.
Accepts Suggestion.
The American League accepted the
suggestion for the Brooklyn club to
open lts park one 0ay anead OF the
regular opening date of the big leagues,
but Ban johnson made 1t understood
that next year would take care of itself
The National League today is expected
to adopt the suggestion and there will
be three major league openings in this
city this spring.
This is entirely satisfactory to US
this year" said Ban Johnson, after
the meeting. but We shall make an
other agreement next year. I'm not
hooking this league to any arrangement
for term of years.
The American Leaguers went into ses-
sion at noon. shortly after Ban Johnson
and Charlie Comiskey arrived from
Chicago and did not break up till al
most O'Clock. Representatives from
every club were present and, during
the.S absence, the lobby Of the wolcott
fairly swarmed with National League
magnatcs. players Of both leagues and
newspapermen from all over the coun-
try. Following the meeting everybody
swarmed into the dining-room and
Charlie Comiskey held a little levee.
This was attended by players from both
big leagues and from the International
League.

Word was received from Fordham this
morning Ly Manager Madigan. of fhe
Georgetown basketball team, stating
that the New York quint would be un-
able to get to Washington for its game
with the Hilltoppers, which was sched-

The only reason given by the Ford

test was a ruling of the faculty which
prevented the team from making the
trip at this time Catholic University
vas notified yesterday by the Gotham
team that 1t would be necessary to call

No MORE FREE PASSES
 FOR CUSTOMS EMPLOYES
An Inquiry Sets New Collector at
 Port of Los Angeles Guessing
IAssoCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.-Lettcrs from railroad and steamship com panies requesting him to furnish lists Of annual passes required by the GUS stoms houses men next year caused John Elliot. the new collector of the port, to issue an order forbdding customs employees to use passes ex- cept in cases where such use is sanctioned by law.
 The requests of the railroad and steamship men for a pass list started Elliott on an investigation which he said revealed that the law governing the use of passes by customs men was stretched to the point of abuse Customs employees are authorized to use passes when on business which directly affects the railroad or steam ship furnishing the pass.
 Elliott's order turns down the offer Of annual passes and restricts em- ployes in the customs service in this district to the use of free transporta- - ton only in cases covered by statute.
