MILEAGE BOOKS
tiilbsurss's Bill Affects The PeBn,yl-
vania Railroad.

Senator Milbourne introduced a bill
late Wednesday night which, II IL
becomes law, will compel the Penn
sylvaaia Railroad Company 20 issue
mileage books good for ZOO miles or
less.
Che bin was introduced late with
ths unanimous consent Of the ST nate
and was reierred 20 the Corporations
Committee. This measure, said Sen.
ator MiIbourne, is designed TO compel
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
10 accept mileage tickets on its New
York, Philadelphia and Norfolk
Branch, from Delmar 60 Cape Charles
and Cris6eld. Though some believe
the bill, as il stands, will apply 60
al railroad companies, including
those operated by electricity, such
as between Baltimore and Annapolis
and Baltimore and Washington. Sem
ltor. milbourne q sclared that il will
cot have this effect.
"At present, he explained, "the
Pennsylvania Railroad will accept
mileage tickets on the New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk Branch as
Ear as Delmar. When that point is
reached, they will not aeepet the tick
IS, and this works a great hardship
on travellers TO Crisdeld, Cape
Charles and other points below the
Maryland line The law regarding
the control Of roads that are not in
erstate will not affect this bill, be-
cause it is so framed that It compels
only the Pennsylvania road to issue
mileage from the Maryland line at
Oelmar to the Southern line.

10 HOPE FOR CHEAPER BEEF
trust Controls Shipments From Ar
Rehlian. SAYS Houston.

Evidence that the so-called "beef
trust" extends its influence to other
countries is contained in a statement
made public recently by authority OF
the Secrt tary OF Agriculture.
The Secretary points out that,
judged by recent experience, the i'm
ports Of fresh and frozen beef to this
country from ell sources amounts tc
about 2 per cent. Of the entire domes-
tic production. While SECRETARY
Houston does not say so directly he
indicates pretty plainly there is little
likelihood at present that pr ces for
neat will be Influenced TO any appre-
ciable degree by imports.
1t is pointed out in Secretary Hous.
toms statement that most of the beef
coming from Argentina is Consigned
from the beef trusts plant in Argen-
tina itself. Secretary Houston also
shows that the number of Eattle IN
Argentina is diminishing instead Of
increasing.
