BILLS To REGULATE
RAILROADS AND
CORPORATIONS
Congressman AdamSOn Pro-
poses Measures in Line
With Idea of Defining Du-
ties in Interstate Commerce


Washington. Dec IA trio Of
bills 70 regulate interstate railroads
and other corporations were intro
duced today by Chairman Addmson
of the house interstate commerce
committee. The bills strike at mon
opoly and suppression of competition
by combinations of capital
Mr., Ndamson explained that his
measures were in line with the idea
Of defining rights and duties and
prescribing remedies and penalties to
prevent discrimination and unfair
dealing. rather than with the theory
that TO regulate commerce the gov
ernment must take charge of and
operate it,
The first bill would require rail-
roads to publish their schedules in
every county through which they
run, and authorize them, after con-
tracing with newspapers at the reg
ular rates for advertising, to accept
the receipts for freight and passenger
fares.
Another would authorize more
completely the regulation and super
vision of the Interstate Commerce
commission of issues of stocks and
bonds, the disposition of the money
obtained from them and the preven-
tion of interlocking directorates.
The third would provide for a COM
mercial directory, to be published by
the secretary of commerce, by which
an individual, partnership or cor
pofation qualified to do business in
its own state, territory or district
might do SO everywhere without ad-
ditional license or registration or re-
striction, except in compliance with
police regulations

BUCKEYE DEMOCRATS
CLAMOR FOR OFFICE
Filling Of Places May Force
Revocation of Taft Order
Covering Postmasters.

Senator Pomerene of Ohio, who is ex-
pected to control patronage in that
State. called on President Wilson today,
and is thought to have presented the
name of C. c. Weybrecht as a candi-
date for appointment as Assistant Sec
retary of War. Mr.. Weybrecht is ad-
jutant general Of the Ohio State militia
Ohio has garnered much patronage in
the past. and the Democrats will be
expected by the home folks to do as
well as their predecessors. In order to
fill all the places it is probable that it
will be necessary to break down the
Taft order covering $4,000 third and
fourth class postmasters into the classi-
fled service AS a result the question OF
revoking this order may be laid before
President Wilson very shortly.
Democrats believe that revocation OF
the order ilwl be a matter Of peculiar
difficulty, as President Wilson has long
been known as a friend of civil service.
There is little doubt. however, that the
Taft order was made not SO much to
36 900 Republican postmaster who are
now the best foundation on which the
Republican party can hope to re-estab-
lish its fallen fortunes.
Ohio citizens have succeeded in get
ting several consular jobs, and II the
Democrats attempt to grab these the
special form of civil service in vogue
In the State Department may be at
tackled In this event. the attitude OF
Secretary of State Bryan toard a merit
system will be called into question

His Sturdy Defense
Costs Twenty Dollars

An echo of Inauguration Of the inau-
curation parade was heard in Police
Court yesterday when John Cassasa, pro-
prietor of a fruit store at Fourteenth
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest,
was srraigned OH a charge of assaulting
William W. Barnes. real estate man.
The trouble which led UP 10 the as
sault was caused by the efforts % Cas-
sasa to keep Barnes and the latter's
friend frcm seeing the parade through
two windows which Cassasa had rented
in the Chinese chop sUeE restaurant
above his fruit stand. Cassasa pleaded
self-defense, declaring that he struck
Barnes as the latter approached him in
a threatening manner
The court listened TO both sides and
held Cassasa guilty of using too much
force in defending himself. fine OF
$50 was imposed on the defendant.

POPE EP|USX|LL
WITH BRONCHITIS
Vatican Audiences Held Up
Pending Recovery of Head
of Catholic Church.

ROME, March Sowing to a severe
attack of bronchitis with complica-
tion of influenza, Pope Plus Y had dis
continued all audiences in the Vatican.
The newspaper Osservatore Romano,
the official organ, announces that the
Pope's condition is serious and causes
the gravest anxiety owing to his ad-
Vanced age and enfeebled condition.
Although the announcements from the
Vatican are brief and merely state the
nature of the malady with which the
aged pontiff is suffering, a report was
circulated early today that the Pope
was suffering with high fever, due
to te disease, which is sapping his
strength materially.
At the papel legation today, Mgr.
Ceretti. auditor of the legation, eX-
pressed great concern when informed
that word from Rome was that the
Pcpe's condition is causing the gravest
anxiety there. No word has come d.
rect to the legation today, it is stated,
about the health of the Pope.

What Times Readers Think of
Washington Police Situation
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Between Sixth and Seventh and Penn
sylvania avenue the police did not seem
to care whether the suffrage parade was
interfered with or not by the crowds.
The police permitted the crowd to surge
forward toward the paraders. and when
once in a while they perfunc;orily or
dered the people back. they seemingly
did not care whether the order was
obeyed.
Once some mounted police came along
and without warning rode their horses
into the crowds. Their actions were as
drastic as the unmounted police were
not. The suddeness of the appearance
of the horses heads in the middle of the
throng frightened children. including my
own. So that they have been sick ever
since. Yours sincerely,
MRS. F W. J.

WEATHER REPORT.

FORECAST FOR THE DISTRICT.
Fair tonight and Sunday: increasing
cloudiness tonight.
The Washington times., 1913-03-08

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
I was at Second street and Pennsvl-
vania avenue Monday and saw the suf-
fragette parade from start to finish,
and the police did succeed in keeping
the Avenue clear AT that place. 1 was
standing close to tine rope, and the
police forced a break in the crowd
which was five or six deep. and put
quite a number under the rope where
/ was standing.
/ think the crowd was more difficult
to handle on Monday on account of the
rush of women from the curbinS 20
the line of march. Women took advan-
tage of their Sex, and the Lolice were
unable to put them back. Nobody
could expect from some men anything
else than the jeering they gave the
women.
The fact that the women want TO
hang Sylvester shows what kind of law
they would have If they had their way.
Let us follow out te words of the Good
Book and keep everybody In the proper
place-men in theirs. women in theirs.
and Major Sylvester in his. Z. 3.
The Washington times., 1913-03-08

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
In your columns you criticise the po-
lice very bitterly. In fact your paper is
full Of strong arguments convincing us
that the. police were at fault.
But can you not hear a word from the
other side? You attach great signifi-
canoe to the fact that the streets were
cleared on the 4th. But did you stop to
consider by what means this was ac-
complished? 1t was done only because
dertaken to keep the streets clear. The
women's parade had permission to as
semble as early as = O'Clock, and to fur
nish clear streets for IL the police would
have to start work at an early hour.
And this would work a hardship upon
the people For whereas on the 4th the
line of march was strung out for about
two miles and whereas the people were
crowded upon a hundred stands, and
then the streets were almost too dense
ly packed for anyone TO walk, on the
Sd The line of march WAS for about a
mile only, while but few stands were
occupied. How then in the face of
these facts can We expect that the po-
lice could have forced several hundred
thousand people back upon the narrow
limits of the sidewalks. Moreover. why
should the people he practically de-
prlNed or tne use OF tne Avenue Tor TWO
for that is what it would amount toD
whole days simply because these women
grossly insisted on taking advantage OF
the Inauguration of. the President to
advertise their cause before the cOan-
try.

and abused while marching. Even II

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Not long ago, during the course OF
conversation with one of our policemen
l was told that the members OF the
force are strongly admonished to use
police discretion before making an
arrest. A request for further infor-
nation brought forth the statement
that the term discretion, in the sense
in which II is understood by the Su-
perintendent of Police and the officers
under him, means that. In the case
of the offender without social or hnan-
ciaI standing, the law must be rigidly
enforced; while in that of the trans
sressor of importance in the two par
ticuIars named great care must be
exercised.
Our police regulations are made by
the District Commissioners, and they,
being AT the head of the local govern
-nent, are responsible for the manner
in which their own regulations are en-
forced 1t is not my purpose to defend
Major Sylvester but would a man of
his sense and experience take the law
into his own hands? Would he instruct
his men to use police discretion OF
the type ] have just described with
ont the assuranc that he was carry
ing out the wishes of his superiors7
There Is not a man of average intelli-
gence in the city who does not know
that Major Sylvester could and would
have cleared the Avenue. and kept II
clear, during the suffragette parade, If
he had received such instructions from
the District Building. II. instead Of
being solidly united In their opposition
to the saloon. the .marchers in Tues
DAYS demonstration had favored 800
bar rooms in the District. would they
have been subjected to the jeers and
insults which We're heaped upon them?
The plea that Major Sylvester lacked
sufficient men to hold back the crowd
is too pueriIe for thoughtful considera-
ton, and is wholly disproved by the
orderly behavior of the following day.
when the army Of spectators had
been augmented b. thousands Of new
arrivals.
What. II vou please would have hap
nened al the District Building If the
disgraceful scenes of Tuesday had been
reneated Wednesday afternoon? Would
Major Sylvester and the Commissioners
have thrown I'm their hands pleading
that the~ were helpless in the presence
Of mob?

To the Editor of THE TINES:
1t was my good fortune to review
the suffragette parade from Fourth
street end Pennsylvania avenue. with
profound regret, l must confess that the
suffragettes were not given a square
deal but l fail to see any logicai rea-
son why so many should indulge IN
Iamba sting our beloved and most ef-
ficient superintendent Of police, Major
The police were helpless; they exer-
cised all of their powers to prevent the
vast crowd from blocking the thorough
fare of the parade, but without sue

has been rumored the major was some
what reluctant in issuing the permit 70
