The Case Of the Railroad.

Undoubtedly the entire country is
united in its sympathy for the mis-.
cries expressed by vice president w.
G.IMaxwel of the Wabash Railroad
who has declared before the Interstat
Commerce Commission that the raj
roads are suffering from slow sta

roads in eastern classification te III
tory" for an advance of five percent
in freight rates. the companies have
made it appear that they have gradu-
ally ground down so that the business
of railroad ownership is almost uudur
able. According to statistics OF the
railroad the operating expenses show
an increase OF seven and three fcurths
per cent for September 1918, owe 1912,
while they claim that the net revenue
was reduced $26 per mile or SIX per
cent in September 1913, as compared
with sane month of last year. Students
of the question incline to the belief
that if the conditions are as described
by the railroads it is only necessary TO
repeat the history of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad in

ference Of state pure food commission

may be said that for many years there

legislation might have succeed better
but for the fact that it has had for its
sponsors institutions like the American

close to the lobby class. The re-

needed, the conflict between these in

However, the problem has become so
big that it could no longer be dominat-

while recognized as having done great
work, was at the same time classed by
many as a crank, and consequently

Union. which represents in the Nation
al Capital all South and Central Amer
lean countries. At the head of the I'm
ion IS John Barrett. one-time news
paper man, who was put at the helm
several years ago. Through his deep
interest in economical and comm ercial
questions affecting Latin America, he
has accomplished SPLENDID results, Mr..
Barrett says that the United States in
its Mexican relations "is facing the
greatest crisis in many years of its
relations with Latin America" He de-
clined to discuss the pros and cons of
the governmental policy IF the United
States, but asserted that in the solu-
tion of the Mexican policy may in
volve the further prestige. influence
and trade of the United States with
the twenty Central and South Amrcau
countries " Mr.. Barrett further as
serts that this serious view does net
appear to have been entertained by
the people of the United States, and
he gives as proof the "flippant COM
ment of many speakers, writer's and
editors" He added that 1.-The crisis

with no such danger and consequence

of the United States as the crisis
which the nation now faces in Mex

NO MORE RECLINING CHAIRS
IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE

Washington, Jan. Removal of the
desks and reclining chairs on the floor
of the house of representatives and the
replacing of them with upholstered
benches is to be an accomplished fact
before the next congress convenes. The
house early next week will be asked
to approve plans on which Elliott
Woods, superintendent of the capitol,
now Is hard at work. The urgency is
explained by the fact that the contract
must be awarded and all plans made
for the Immediate undertaking Of the
work on the adjournment of the short
session because Of the likelihood of an
extra session being called almost at
once.
The plans contemplate the installa-
ton of seven semi circular rows of
seats, intersected by aisles. The seats
will be more compactly gathered than
now is the case with the revolving
chairs. which are cumbersome. This
concentration will do away with the
Cherokee strip to the right and left OF
the speakers desk. There will be 435
members in the next house and seven
delegates and commissioners who are
entitled to seats on the floor. The i'm
possibility of finding adequate space
for this throng necessitated the change
and the seating arrangements will be
modelled somewhat on that in vogue
in the British house of commons.

RESCUEOAT SEA
FROM A TREE
A WEST INDIAN PICkANlNNY,
BLOWN INTO CARIBBEAN BY A
HURRICANE, is BROUGHT TO
NEW YORK ON OCEAN LINER.

New York, Jan. 4.-Pieked up sixty
miles from the coast of Jamaica, rest
ing on a cocoa tree on the bosom OF
the Caribbean, Willie Gee, 10 years old
a West Indian pickaninnY and a cheer
ful little chap, has been bonded not to

boy out of a nasty swell in the Carib-
bean a. few weeks ago. The Foxtor
Hall was heading for the windward
passage and the skipper noticed relics

nlaica. Driftwood. trees, tangled brush
anu fragments OF nuts rose ana lei
on the swells.
It was six bells of the afternoon
watch, or at O'Clock, that Mate Don
nelly noted the cocoa tree with some
thing in its branches. After a while
the object took the shape Of Willie
Gee, waif, formerly of Port Antonio
Jamaica, but pretty close now to the
locker Of Master Davy Zones.
The mate, and the skipper decided
that the pickaninny should be at least
inspected, so they lowered the emer-
gency boat in charge of Mate Don
nelly himself, and after much humping
in the swells and the wreckage, they
found Willie Gee alive, but not much
more. They picked him out of the
II ee and took him aboard the ship.
An hour after they had filled him
with the best from the shippers table
Willie Gee told his yarn. He had
been swimming at a suburb of Port
Antonio when the hurricane that
smashed things in his neighborhood
hove in sight. He went into a hut to
lei the storm howl itself out, but the
blast picked up the hut and carried ii
and him off shore.
He swims like a duck, as most OF
the West Indian pickarinnies do, and
after he had disentagled himself from
the wreckage, he struck out and found
re fuge in the cocoa tree. He says he
prayed and sang until he lost con-
seriousness.
Willie may not see Jamaica again
for more than five or six months, as
the Foxton Hall takes a roundabout
cruise by way of the west coast OF
South America before returning to the
neighborhood of the West Indies.

New Orleans, Jan. 4.-Cotton futures
opened steady at an advance of to
points on much better cables than due.
The advance was not sustained as
buyers of the earlier part of the week
were inclined to even up over the week

level was an advance of to points
The weather map was called favorable
in the extreme, as dry. clear and fairly
warm weather was shown all over the
cotton belt, conditions that allow farm
work to be carried on with the best
results. This led to moderate short
selling. At the end of the first half
hour of business, prices were to 4
points under yesterdays close.
y Shorts found it difficult to keep the
market on the decline and withdrew
before the morning was very old. With
little or no selling pressure, the mar
ket did better and went back to the
higher levels maed aruond the first
call. There was little activity at any
time and bulls displayed no disposition
to force things. One report even said
that some of the larger operators on
the long side were reducing their lines
