RAILROAD NEED
STACKS OF RUBLES
A Billion and a Quarter a Year to
Enable Them to Keep
Up
(Associated Press)

Washington, Nov. 25.-Railroads
will need $1,25O,000,0O0 additional
capital for the next ten or twelve
years to increase their facilities to
handle the country's growing COM
merce, Alfred P. Thorn, counsel for
the railway executive advisory COM
mittee, told the congressional railroad
investigation committee yesterday.
About s250,000,0O0 year additional
will be required, he said, to refund
maturing Indebtedness.
To attract investors, Mr.. Thorn sug-
gested that federal regulation should
replace the present system of author
ity divided between the states and the
central government.
"It has been found" said Mr.. Thorn,
that the wealth Of the country has
been increasing at the race of or
per cent a year and the same ratio of
increase has held good as to the de-
mand for transportation. AS the
forces which have affected the growth
and development of the past appar-
emily still continue in full operation,
and may reasonably be expected to
continue for the 7fext ten or fifteen
years, at least, the investment in
railroad facilitie sto meet the large
requirements of the future must con-
sequently grow at corresponding
annual rate of increase"
"The estimate of $1,250, 100000 for
additional transportation facilities in
clude nothing for extensions into new
territory" he added.
where is this money or any sum
approximating it to come from 20
asked Mr.. Thorn. tfThis problem is
one of vital interest to the public be-
cause on it's successful solution de-
Ipends the commercial facilities Of the
country. Would it do to confront the
investor, when asking for this great
investment, with situation where
the revenues of the railroads are not
subject to the control of the investors,
but are fixed and limited not only by
governmental authority, but by many
uncordinated state authorities in no
way responsible to each other, and
where the railroads cannot control
ard the government cannot and does
not limit the expense account? ?"

RIGHT TO PURSUE
BANDITS RESERVED
In the Agreement which has Almost
Been Reached by Americans
and Mexicans
. ASSOCIATED Press)

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 25.-
Withdrawal of American troops who
went into Mexico in pursuit of Fran
cisco Villa, after the Columbus raid
and the patrolling of the border by
the respective armies of the United
States and Mexico, was agreed to in a
protocol signed here late yesterday
by the members of the American
Mexican joint commission seeking to
adjust differences between the two
countries. Adjournment of the con-
ference sessions was taken immed-
lately to allow Alberto j. PAM, one
OF the Mexican commissioners, to 90
to Mexico to place the proposals be-
fore First Chief Carranza for his ap-
proval.
The plan characterized by Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane, chairman
OF the American commission, as the
beginning of a policy which will
make Mexico that we can live
with" provides that General Pershing
shall bring his men across the line
within forty days after the protocol
is finally approved by the two govern
ments, unless by that time the condi-
tions in Northern Mexico have be-
come such that the American border
is endangered by bandits. The ad-
monition is contained in a separate
document, however, that the United
States reserves the right to pursue
into Mexico any bandit force that
crosses the international line. The

IKE SHEFFIELD
WAS ACQUITTED
SOME LOVING FRIENDS" PUT 100
HALF PiNTS OF WHISKY ON
HIS BACK PORCH.

Who went to the home of Ike Shelf
field, colored, and placed one hundred
half pints of whisky and gin on his
back veranda?
That is the question which came up
in police court yesterday morning, and
which somewhat puzzled Mayor Hop
kins as well as others in the court
Ike, who bears good reputation in
the city, was arrested some several
days ago charged with having whisky
at his home. The case was post
poned when called in police court, but
yesterday Mayor Hopkins tried the
case, listened to the evidence, heard
Ike's statement and then dismissed
him.
The negro was arrested by two po-
lice officers, who stated that they
went to his home and found all of this
whisky; that hey saw a wagon drive
up to his house and leave it. How
ever, there was not Witness intro
duced who could testify that Ike had
ever sold single drink of whisky.
On the other hand the negro told a
straightforward story. He said he had
never had enough money to buy hun
'dred pints of whisky, that it was a
frameup pur and simple, and that
some Of his enemies, whoever they
happened to be, were trying to give
him trouble. He said he was arrested
all right; that two police officers came
to his house, knocked on his door and
then walked right to the whisky; that
he did not even know that it was
there; that he was arrested and was
charged with violating the prohibition
law.
The case seemed to somewhat puz-
Il the mayor. He was satisfied that
Ike had not been selling whisky, but
still he was puzzled to know where the
100 half pint3 came from. He evi-
IDENTIFY agreed with the negro that
there had been a frame.up and the de-
fendant was discharged.
The whisky and gin in question is
at the barracks, and no one as yet has
put in claim for it.

FLAMES OF WAR
MAY SPREAD TO
UNITED STATES
PROSPERITY Is AHEAD IF
PEACE is KEPT SAYS PRES
lDENT IN ADDRESS BEFORE
U. S. CHAMBER.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Dele-
gates to the annual convention of the
chamber OF commerce of the United
States left ror their homes today,
carrying with them a message from
President Wilson, the outstanding
feature of which was his determina-
ton to keep the United States out of
the European conflict, although he
declared that the nation merely held
that trouble at arms length.
The president was speaking on neu'
trality at the annual banquet of the
chamber last night He also spoke
Of the need of a rdeal semitic tariff
board and a merchant marine.
TT is a cruel thing" said the
president, "to have it supposed, as
it is in many quarters, that we have
kept out of this war simply because
we wanted to profit by the trouble of
others, and yet misunderstanding for
the time being are not to be reck-
oned as against the consciousness that
we must ourselves have that we have
pursued the right and only service
able course. l believe that we are
justified in exercising every degree of
patience in making it clear what our
position is.
Il have only this to say. though.
We hold this trouble at arms length
and keep or attempt to keep our own
judgments cool, but the rest of the
world is hot, and it may be that any
time without our cooperation and
without our ability to stop it, the
flame may extend to us.
'If only we can keep this great
nation at peace-there is an infinite
prospect of happy prosperity before
the United States; not because the
United States is ready to serve the
rest of the world with her resources,
but / believe that she will serve the
rest of the wolrd in handsome and
gallant fashion, only taking advant-
age of the legitimate opportunities
which the circumstances have Gre
ated.
The president praised the federal
reserve law as having placed the
United States in a position to escape
possible financial disaster when the
war started
The president told of the necessity
of scientific tariff board and said
he thought the nation would get it.
He said that before the war changed
the economic condition of the world
he did not favor a tariff board, "be-
cause the purpose of it then appar-
emily was to keep alive an unprofit-
able controversy"
The president expressed the conf
dent hope that legislation creating a
merchant marine would be passed as
soon as possible.

REGISTER NOW
To VOTE IN ALL
1876 ELECTIONS
SOME OF THE FEATURES OF
NEW REGISTRATION LAWS
EXPLAINED BY TAX COL
LECTOR READ.
Have you registered?


Well, that is the question that is
going to be asked you many times du
ring the present year, not only by can.
didates, but by their friends and 9TH
ers and. under the new registration
laws of Georgia, maybe you will not
know how to intelligently respond to
the question.
or course you remember that new
registration law, known as the "once
registered always registered" went in
to effect last year, but that law does
not mean that all you had to do was to
visit the office of Tax Collector Read
in 1914 and register, and that you
could vote forever afterwards. No, in
deed, that isn't the new law.
1t meant, however, that if you reg
istered in 1914 and paid your state and
county taxes regularly that you were
always entitled to vote in state and
county elections, but not that you
could register in that year and then
continue to vote at each election
Some people evidently seem to be
COHluScu Ill IclcIeUCet 10 lne new law,
therefore a little statement from the
tax collector will be of interest. Here
is what he said to a News representa-
tive yesterday:
"The new Georgia registration law is
simply this: You do not have to reg
lister each year as heretofore, but you
do have to pay your state and county
taxes. If you were a qualified voter
in 1914 and have paid all of your taxes
since then, why of course you can
vote in all elections this year, without
further qualifying, but, on the other
hand, if you paid your taxes in 1914,
but failed to register, you are not en-
titled to vote, and it will be necessary
for you to register this year. The law
is very plain on the Subject and the
voters generally should understand
it, 20 = --~ - '7>s~-------
In view of the fact that every Off
cial from coroner to president is to be
elected this year, the registration
should be unusually large. Ever" per
son who is entitled to vote should
qualify, but, uness all taxes are paid
before April Is, you will not be en-
titled to cast ballot in any of the
elections this year.
