SITUATION CLEARED UP
ACCORDING; TO PAGE

Especial TO The Times Dispatch
WASHINGTON, August 23.-United
States Ambassador Walter Page. at
London, reported at length 10 the state
Department to day on the subject OF
the home coming OF Americans In Eu
rope.
Mr.. Page makes the general state
ment that the situation has cleared up.
He says that nearly all OF the Amer
leans who a week ago were asking TO
get transportation. have already left
for home.
Their places have been filled by "a
constant stream from the Continent,
MIR. Page states. but these are being
taken care OF rapidly and there Is no
danger OF congestion.
Mr.. Page Includes in his report news
from tho Tennessee. which is supposed
to he still at Rotterdam. He says that
Major Daniel w Ketcham. who is in
charge OF disbursements on the cruiser.
states that the payments TO those en-
titled to them are being made salts
factorily. Assistant Secretary OF War
breckenridge, according TO the last re-
port. was to -make visit into Holland
and report conditions there. The
Dutch ports generally are TO be utilized
as ports OF shipment for the American
refugees.
NO FURTHER TROUBLE
IN PAYING OUT FUNDS
It is understood at the War Depart
ment that through the arrangements
made with the Bank Of England's
branch at Ottawa, Canada. there can
now be no possible difficulty in paying
emergency amounts.
II is stated at the State Department
that there has necessarily been some
delay in handing over money TO people
who presented themselves. y strict
examination is required In all cases. SO
that there shall be complete dcntihca-
ton. This delay is thought by the Of
fcials here as having caused some com
plants.
Eleven steamers have been engaged.
and there are SIX at Newport News.
which are ready to sail.
The general situation lis further i'm
proved by the news that there are very
few who wish to come home from
Spain or Portugal. and that the French
government is taking a special inter
est in the large number of Americans
now in Switzerland who made their
way there from the cities Of Germany.
These will be allowed TO come TO French
ports. If they choose. or through France
TO English ports.
Russia has arranged for the sailing
OF Americans from Odessa, and II is
likely that others in Russia will come
via Norwegian or Danish ports.

Veteran Merchants Views

Mr.. B. A. Weathers was sworn.
Mr.. Weathers was asked what he
thought the effect of a reduction of
grain freight rates from Is cents.
the present Ocala rate, to II cents,
the Tampa rate. would have on the
consumers and his business. He said
he did not think it would benefit the
dealer very much but would go TO
the consumer: He said the strong
competition in the state was pre-
venting 80 per cent. OF the mercn-
ants from making a profit equal 20
the legal rate OF interest, and this
strong competition affects the bust
ness OF the merchants more than
anything else He said he was for
merly in, the wholesale business and
a combin alton OF freight rates fore
ed his firm to go out OF that branch
He said the interior points IN the
state could not do wholesale bust
ness with the present rates in ex-
istence. and that the long and short
haul meant equally as much % the
consumers. He said one o. the great
needs Of the Ocala merchants was
for a car load rate lower than 4 less
than CARLOAD rate. He said. take Mr.
Brown fol instance: if he had a rate
of 71a q nts on carload shipments,
he could re-ship at profit 10 local
points. In this way. Mr.: Wea-hers

Wholesale Grocer Told How he was
Handicapped
Mr.. Jake Brown, the Ocala whole
sale grocer was sworn. Mr.. Spen-
Ger asked Mr.. Brown to tell the COM
mission why Ocala had no more and
no larger wholesale houses than it
has.
Mr.. Brown said he was handicap
ped in his business, and could only
operate in a limited territory, be-
cause the freight rates to Oca1a were
so high he could not compete with
local points. Many points far below
him have freight rates as low or
lower than he has. a good many
articles are always quoted with de-
livered price under some arrange
ment. with the manufacturer. and on
these he absolutely had no chance to
compete anywhere in this territory.
On these articles Mr. Brown said he
could not even sell to the merchants
of his own town. The commodities on
which he needed lower rate most Of
all were flour, grain, grits, meal,
etc, as they must come through
from the west with bill of lading at
tached. He bought much OF his
lighter goods, canned goods, etc, in
the east, had most of them shipped
to Jacksonville, remarked and for
Warded from there; the Jacksonville
rate plus the local rate, as high as
it is, is lower than the through rate
to this point.
Chairman Burr asked Mr.. Brown
II he thought a rate of 10 or IL
cents instead of 5 cents on grain
would help him much. and he said
it would enable him to meet compe-
tltlon.. The -four rate from Jack
sonville is % cents in carload lots.
He could not do anything with re-
shipping -four, as it comes bill of
lading attached and could not we'll
be re-handled in jacksonville
Mr.. Capps asked Mr.. Brown why
he did not get relief via the Okla
Waha river route. and why it was
abandoned, as he had used it with
profit.

Fax and Figgers

Mr.. l.. S. Light, with his fax and
hggers,' was sworn. Mr. Light said
he was one Of those who pays the
freight and sought relief from I'M
just rates. He wanted to protest
against changing the law as on the
statute books in any particular and
wanted it enforced as it stood. He
read from statistics the enormous
increase in earnings Of the railroads
in the state for the past IL years,
and the vast increase in tonnage out
OF the state. He said the roads would
continue to make legitimate profit
under the freight rates as laid down
by the legislature, and he wanted the
railroad commission to make them
try the rates and then. if after fair
trial, they were injured, they could
seek redress; that the state was en-
titled to the enforcement of the Law.
He said the long and short haul law
was on the statute books of 20 states

Some Questions as to Endorsements

The Anti-Saloon League will be glad to answer
questions that any of constituents have in mind
about methods of reaching our conclusions as to-
endorsements. Some of friends have false i'm
preston that the AntSaloon League just chooses
whom they prefer in making up their list of endorse
ments. This is not the There are certain prn-
cples and rules that concerned to strictly in max
ing up the endorsements of the Ant-Saloon League
and when candidates have as yet been en-
dorsed it is good time to study these governing prn-
ciples. Below is found the answers to two or three
questions:
First. Will the Anti-Saloon League endorse two
candidates for the senate in district:
There is only senator to be elected in any
district. To endorse two candidates would be to di-
vide the dry vote between two men only one of whom
possibly be elected If there is one wet candidate
in the field in the district in any party the liquor
people will their efforts to secure his
election. They will not divide their vote If the Anti
Saloon League endorses two men, one in one party
and in another against the third candidate in the
field receiving the undivided support of the liquor
people, Our endorsement would be injurious to the
cause. We will not do that. For above reasons our
policy shall be to endorse candidate only for the
senate in each senatorial district, providing any wet
candidate is in the field to be opposed.
A second question often asked is which candidate
will be endorsed providing there is than one seek
ing the endorsement?
The first requirement of course is that the candi-
date be right the nti-Saoon League PROPOSITIONS
