Consideration of Plan for
Government Railway.

Senator Chamberlain of Oregon made
an effort to get the bill authorizing the
government to construct and operate a
railroad in Alaska before the Senate for
consideration today, but Senator Over
man of North Carolina objected to its
consideration at that time, saying that
1t was n measure of vast Importance and
involved the question of government own
ership Of railroads and would require too
much of the Senate's time at present
Senator Chamberlain said that he
would be glad TO see to it that the bill
did not interfere in any way with the
consideration OF the tariff bill. He said
that President Wilson had expressed
himself In favor of the construction of
railroad in Alaska, and that the Sec
retary of the Interior had stated that
he favored the bill reported to the SEN
ate by the committee on territories
Senator Nelson, a republican member
of the committee on territories. declared
that while he was in favor of doing
something to aid Alaska in her devel-
opment. he was strongly opposed to the
governments entering upon a policy of
ownership of railroads.

Decided in Norfolk's Favor.

The prolonged controversy in Virginia
between Norfolk and Newport News for
the honor of possessing the headquar-
ters of the collector of customs has
been decided in Norfolk's favor. Treas
ury officials. in drawing the reorgani-
"a ton plan. originally compromised the
situation by making Norfolk and New
port News the dual headquarters of
Virginia, empowering the collector to
divide equally his time between the two
ports. While there is some ambiguity
in the phraseology of the plan as sent
to Congress by former President Taft
with reference to Virginia it is said
that undoubtedly the former President
meant Norfolk to be the headquarters
and that this cannot legally be changed
| without legislation. Like the situation
in Florida, the collector. although his
| headquarters will be Norfolk. will
spend some of his time at Newport
News.
| AS finally decided upon the new south
ern districts and the ports of entry. con-
| tinued or created, are as follows. the
| first port mentioned in each instance
