FIFTEEN DAY LIMIT
ON FREIGHT FOUGHT
Shippers Urge That Railroads
Hasten Deliveries at
New York.

WAsHtNGToN. Dec. 2e - Protests
in giving notice OF an intention to re-
duce on January l the storage limit on
freight In cars ut New York and other
Atlanta coast terminal centres from
thirty TO fifteen days we're heard to-day
by the suspension board Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The order pro-
posed by the railways. according to rep
reservations made to the commission
was agreed upon with "A view 10 reliev-
ing the congestion of freight, most OF
II destined for export. now piled up in
New York. Boston. Baltimore and other
Eastern ports.
The Merchants Association, the Prod
uce Exchan.e e. the steel Products Com
pany and other commercial and trade
bodies OF New York city were repre-
scented. II. c. Lincoln OF the New York
Merchants Association. one OF the
spokesmen. suggested 20 tho suspension
board that some responsibility should be
placed on the railways TO assure prompt
deliveries OF freight at New York.
He told the boaNl that In recent
months tho railroads had been derelict
IN making deliveries. with the result
that many vessels leaving New York.
notably those bound for South America,
were shipping with light cargoes. He
denied hat the congestion ut New York
Mas due altogether To the practice of
the railways In permitting shippers to
hold freight In storage for periods OF
thirty days.
Mi. Lincoln irs!sted that tho present
congestion OF freight ~ New York IA
due. first. to conditions eruHing out of
the strike IN New York last fall second.
Ia the slides In the Panama Canal. which
had resulted ~ a partial suspension OF
coastwlse traffic. and third. t. a break
down In tae lIghterage facilities in New
York harbor. He gave Il As his opinion
that IA reduction In the storage period to
fifteen days would not greatly relieN"
the situation and would impose a costly
burden on shippers.
Railway representatives told the board
chat the fifteen day period was by no
means unreasonable or likely TO cause
hardShips 10 shippers. They insisted
that New York had been unduly favored
BY the railways So FAR as storage was
concerned. They testified that ut most
Other ports the storage period ran from
three TO ten days, whereas NJ New York
thirty days leeway had been allowed for
many years.
They testified further that tho railways
concerned had decide some weeks AFRO to
reduce the storage period at New York
and other Eastern ports, and that II was
believed that the time for such action
Rad arrived.
Unless the commission intor,eres the
Nfteen day order Will e. into effect on
January |. u IL understood hat tho

tlgation by the commission.

TELLS REAL STORY
OF THE GARY DINNER
Republican Who Knows As.
Serts Politics Was Not Pur-
pose Of Gathering.
MUSIC. But NO SPEECHES

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.--Defnite word
has come 10 Washington as to what took
place at the Gary dinner to Col. Roose-
welt. A Republican here who went to
the trouble of investiga tlng the dinner
learned from one OF the guests what took
place and has returned to Washington
with the facts. This man said to-day
The Gary dinner was moi a political
conspiracy either to promote Col Roose-
Nelt's ambitions or to devise ways and
means Of defeating President Wilson for
reelection. SO far as the conversation
which o place about Mr.. Gary's table
was concerned there was absolutely no
politics In the dinner.
Only two remarks were made by Col
Roosevelt In he course OF the entire din
ner that could be construed either as q
reflection on President Wilson or AS re-
lating to the preparedness issue,
AT one period in the dinner Col
Roosevelt made the statement that. since
the beginning OF the European war
Great Britain has built more war YES
sells than are now represented by the en-
tire strength OF the United States navy.
Another remark made by Col. Roose-
welt WAS that more American citizens,
innocent non-cOnbatants. have lost their
lives In Mexico and In the outrases upon
American life in the European war. such
as the L~usitania. than were sacrificed In
the entire war with Spain.
Both OF these statements were made
by Col. Roosevelt to Judge Gary and
those sitting near him In the courss OF
the Inner and were repeated by him
to the other guests. Col. Roosevelt
sat on Judge Gary's right n Frank A..
Nanderl!p on his left.
There vas no regular speechmaking
at the dinner. In fact Col. Roosevelt
spent "A large part of the evening de-
scribing his explorations and giving the
diners his views on the River OF Doubt.
There was music and singing by solo
lists in the course OF the dinner and
afterward there was a concert. am
satisfied that there was no real politi-
cal Significance TO the Gary dinner
