Newlands Committee Begins
Hearing on Transportation

Washington, November 20-What is the
matter with the railroads and what kind
OF legislation Congress might enact to
better conditions will be pictured to the
joint congressional committee investigat-
ing transportation Thursday.
The investigating committee held its
first session today heard an opening
statement by its chairman, Senator New
lands, and received notice of appearance
from nearly 100 public utility companies,
state railway commissions, commercial
and industrial organizations and shippers
and individuals. Few who noted appear
ances seemed ready to open the hearings
with testimony and in executive session
tonight the committed decided to hear
the railroads first in the belief that their
executives are better prepared to state
their case without further delay. The
railway executives advisory committee.
composed of more than a dozen heads of
important systems, was advised and in
structed that most of it's members will
testify before the railroad side is COM
pletely told
The committee decided to hold hearings
each week day from 10 a. m. to i 80 p. M
only, to give the official reporters time
W Keep the record up 10 GATE Tor the
conmitte and for witnesses. No decision
was reached as to what witnesses will be
caolled when the railroads conclude. Rep
resentatives of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company. the Western
Union Telegraph company and several of
the big express companies were present
and will be heard before the committee
reports
The railroad phase of the investigation
is expected to take most of the commit
tees time, but under the resolution which
created it, it is investigations are to ex-
tend to all public utilities.

Mississippi Supreme Court
Will Pass on Legality of
Referendum Amendment

Jackson, Miss, November 20.-The
Mississippi supreme court will be
called upon to decide whether or not
the referendum amendment to the
state constitution adopted by the vot-
ers in 1914 and ratified by the last
legislature is valid. Judge Potter in
circuit court here today refused a
petition of District Attorney Howie
that the office of State Fish and Game
Commissioner T. A. Brantley be de-
clared vacant. The law enacted by
the recent Legislature which created
the office of fish and game commits
sioner was submitted to the voters
under the referendum amendment
November Z, last, and was defeated by
an overwhelming majority. Attorneys
for Brantley today contend the refer
endum was illegally ratified by the
legislature. District Attorney HOWE
announced an appeal to the supreme
court would be filed as soon as the
necessary papers could be prepared
Ihe state supreme court on October
80 handed down a decision in which
1T was held certain sections of the
recently enacted statewide prohibit
ton law could not be voted on under
the referendum privilege because the
law was enacted several days pre-
Yious to the ratification of the refer
endum amendment. Although the va
lidity of the referendum was attack ed
in the liquor law appeal, the supreme
court did not pass upon that feature.

Fear for Louisiana Banker
Lost in Great Tenas Swamp

Mobile, November 2o.-The fate Of
William McCausland, banker of Baton
Rouge, La, tonight was as deep in
mystery as ever. The party of searchers
for the missing man, who disappeared
late Wednesday in Tensas river while
hunting in swamp, was augmented
this morning by the arrival of his son,
William NJ, McCausland, and r. H. Nc
Clelland, the latter brother-i n-law OF
the banker. ]. w. Daugherty, another
brother -in-law, arrived here this morn
ing from Baton Rouge.
Hunters and fishermen familiar with
the territory where the banker disap-
peared declare there is still hope that
the banker is alive They say it is pos
sible that McCausland entered the
Tensas swamp to shoot squirrels and
lost his way. The swamp is miles in
area and surrounded by water They
claim the kind of boat the banker used
was nonsinkable and if he had been
drowned the boat would have been
found.
