SAYS POOR SCALES
CAUSE BIG LOSSES
Would Have Government Take
Over Weighing.

Wasbington.-Decla that freight
shippers all over the country are suffer
ing an enormous loss because of the
fact that only 10 per cent of the track
scales used by railroads are accurately
tested and that only one-fourth Of the
scales are inspected in any way at all.
Representative Willis Of Ohio intro
duced a bill into the house to require
a complete change in this respect.
The bill, based on long and exhaus-
tive examination of the subject by the
interstate commerce commission. re-
Quires that the American Railway as
ISOLATION be authorized to designate
the standard scale to be used, together
with standards for pits, weights and
all devices pertaining to the track
scales. The railroads would then have
until 1915 to get the proper equipment.
After that violations Of the act would
result in heavy fines.
Representative Willis is a member of
the interstate and foreign commerce
committee of the house and has been
in touch with the interstate commerce
commissions inquiry into the question
involved in his bill. The expert of the
commission with whom Representative
Willis has been consulting is Attorney
Marchand of the commission.

COMBINE AUDITORS.

He would utilize the big structure

of remodeling would approximate $751;
900, he declares the government would
save about $4,000 a year in rent now
paid for the use of quarters in bust
ness blocks.
Auditors for the interior and navy
departments now share one building.

Government May Decide.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The feder-

with the problem of determining
whom it will recognize as governor
of New York.
Under the Dick law, by which the
national guard enjoys government
aid, requisition for arms, ammunition
supplies and transportation must be
approved by the governor. There is
the possibility OF this question COM
ing up In connection with some militia
maneuvers at Psekskill, N. Y, in

however, it is said, would not attempt
the responsibility of deciding between
Sulzer and Glynn but would hold up
New York's acquisitions until the
