COLUMBIA WINS RATE CASE.


Washington. Jan. 1s.-Last year
the interstate commerce commission.
In deciding the complaint of the
Chamber Of Commerce Of Columbia
against the Southern. Seaboard, At
lantic Coast Line and connecting rail
and water lines. held that commodity
rates from Eastern points to Column
bia which exceeded those contem-
poransously maintained from the
same points to Augusta. unduly prefer
Augusta and subject Columbia to pre-
judice and disadvantage. On petition
OF tine carriers the commerce commits
sion granted rehearing last fall, with
the result that certain changes were
made In the findings. The substance
OF the previous decision Is reaffirmed,
but the commission admits that the
original ,nding was too broad" he
cause neither the comp piainant nor de-
PENDANTS had called attention to GER
tain variations from equality In class
rates from various Eastern points.
Therefore the commission Issues a
new order requiring carriers to cease
on or before March 20 next from
Charging higher commodity rates TO
Columbia. s. c.. from Eastern points
from which class rates to Columbia
and Augusta are made the same
than commodity rate contemporan
sously maintained from the sale
points Of origin to Augusta. Ga. Tn.
derstandins that the carriers are now
readtusting rates from the West to all
points In Southeastern territory. and
that In this readjustment Columbia's
disadvantage on comparison with Au.
susts will be to a large extent COR
rectsd. the commission has decided
not to Issue any order at this time
with respect to rates from Western
points to Colum bia and Augusta.

RECEIVES Immigration BILL.
PRESIDENT TO HOLD HEARINGS
ON MEASURE FRIDAY.
Champions Of Bill Hopeful That Mr..
Wilson Will Not Veto IL OH Account
or Litcracy Test.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-President
Wilson received the immigration bill
today as passed by congress, and.
yielding to appeals for hearings. set
aside three hours next Friday to give
ear to those who would urge him to
approve or veto the measure.
The measure went to the White
House with the restrictive literacy test
for admission of aliens. unsmend-
ed. despite frequent declarations by
the president that this form OF re
striction did not meet with his favor.
What the president proposes to do
still Is problematical. but the fact
that he has granted hearings has
aroused the hopes of champions of
the measure that he will not veto the
bill.
In congress there are many MEM
bers who believe that the bill could
easily be passed over a presidential
veto In both houses by the necessary
two-thirds majority.
When President Taft vetoed a sim;
lar measure it was repassed by more
than two-thirds majority in the SEN
ate and failed by only few votes in
the house.
Should the president return the bill
without approval administration lead
ers are fearful lest 1t might be used
to further delay action on the ship
ping bill by Republicans. who oppose
the latter.
Among those who have asked the
president to hear them against the
bill are delegations headed by Louis
Marshall. of New York. and Repre-
sentatives SABBATH. of Chicago: Gold.
fogle, Of New York, and Gallican, OF
Boston: Frank Morrison, secretary OF
the American Federation Of Labor
and a committee from that organiza.
ton and repres ,ntatives from va.
rious patriotic societies will appear In
favor of the bill.

FOR WAREHOUSE SYSTEM.
McLaurin Says $137.s37 Appropria-
ton is Needed.

Columbia, Jan. 1S.-An appropria-
tion Of $137,337.65 will be necessary
for the continuance and development
of the State cotton warehouse sys-
tenn, according to an estimate filed
with Comptroller General Jones, by
John L. McLaurin, commissioner. OF
this amount $4,000 would be used
for the erection of a compress and
central warehouse in Columbia. The
estimate has been transmitted to the
ways and means committee of the
house for consideration. An appro-
priation of $4,000 is asked to pro-
mote trade with foreign spinners.
The land to establish the compress
would cost $4,000. the report says.

HEAD OF TULSA ASSOCIATION
THINKS ARDMoRE CAN SECURE
AMPLE FUNDS AT THIS TIME
HE KNOWS A GOOD START

Murray Doan who is at the head of
| the Tulsa Y. NJ. G. A., was in the city
one day this week and stated that the
time was ripe in this city to organize a
strong institution and erect suitable
building.
He stated that he knew of one oil
company that would give $1,000 to-
ward the work and was satisfied that
several other companies operating in
the Healdton field would gladly do
likewise
Mr. G. H. Ramsey of this city who
has been identified with the Y. NJ. C.
A. movement ever since ii was started
in this city, said this morning that he
thought the suggestion of Mr. Doan
good one. The local organization owns
a very desirable piece of property at
the corner of Broadway and A St,
and is ideally located for such a pur-
pose.
The Y. NJ, c. A. has been allowed to
lag behind other things in this city
for the past two or three years, but
the time is ripe now if it ever will be,
to start the ball to rolling according to
Mr.. Ramsey's ideas and he is conf
dent that within another year a Y M.
c. A. building can be erected and a
strong organization perfected.
Some time ago the association dis
posed of part of their lot, but they
still have enough remaining for their
purpose and a campaign started here
after the first of the year. 1t is be-

Hot Springs, Va, Dec. 23.-Presi-
automobile drive over Virginia noun
tain roads late Monday afternoon,
after spending most of their morning
answering some of the messages of
congratulation that have come to them
from all parts of the world A game
of golf which had been planned was
postponed until Tuesday.
Since the couple came to Hot
Springs yesterday morning hotel
guests and townspeople have been
politely eager to get glimpse of
them and when it was whispered
about that they would motor, a crowd
quickly gathered.
Mrs. Wilson appeared in one of the
most beautiful costumes of her trous-
seau, a gown of black velvet with
a heavy fur-trimmed coat and a small
toque.
After driving about five miles over
rough trail, the chauffeur turned
back and with better luck took his
passengers over fifty miles of smooth
roads through magnificent mountain
scenery.
Arrangements for a Christmas eel
ebration at the presidents hotel were
being made today There will be
large Christmas tree and a special
musical entertainment. Members of
the families. of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
may come for the holidays, but no
definite plans have been made.
Mountains and hills. wild and ro-
mantle, entirely surround the green
plains of the warm spring valley.
Winding roads and steep trails lead
up the slopes of these highlands and
Mrs. Wilson will have unlimited OPP
portunity to indulge in her fondness
for walking with the president.
