EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT

Washington, Nov. 17.-Some of the
suggestions the railroads will make
to the joint congressional investigat-
ing committee, which begins hearings
on transportation questions here Mon
day. were outlined today at a special
meeting of the national council of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce, by A. p.
Thorn, counsel for the railroad exec
utives' advisory committee.
Mr.. Thorn said the railroads would
ask for: g.. .-% .",t.
A federal corporation law for inter-
state railroads. +-: I. ~.
A measure enlarging the interstate
commerce commission and creating
regional bodies under it with original
jurisdiction in rate questions, subject
to appeal by carriers or shippers to
the entire commission.
Amendment of the act to regulate
commerce so as Oreduce to 60 days
the present period of ten months dur
ing whic hthe interstate commerce
commission may hold a filed railroad
tariff in suspension, and authority to
the commission to fix minimum, as
well as maximum, rates, such as it
alone has at present.
The national council had given a
place to representatives of the rail-
road brotherhoods in it's program for
the afternoon, but the secretary an

men and l.. E. Sheppard, acting for
Grand Chief Garretson Of the conduc-
tors, saying they could not arrange to
be present. No replies to invitations
had been received, he said, from the
other two brotherhood leaders.
Mr.. Thoms presentation OF the rail-
roads suggestion was preceded by
speeches which brought the railroad
eight-hour law squarely before the
council. Representative Adamson,
author of the law, declared he believ-
ed it constitutional. but thought con-
gress would enact supplementary leg
islation before the congressional in
vestigating committee reports, to
make impossible another situation
such as confronted the nation when
the brotherhoods threatened to
strike. Mr.. Adamson said he was op-
posed to government ownership of
railroads and to the abolishment or
curtailment of the powers Of state
railroad commissioners by putting all
rate-making power in the hands of
the interstate commerce commission.

e'c1s OF Neutral Nations Sends an
-xpedltion to Aid of shackle-
tens Men.

r.@@ay is a little country, espe-
ciallv as South American countries
20, and few people in this part of
re world know much about it ex-
.cn- that it is somewhere along the
arrcr stretches of a big river, and
hat It's chief products, as the geog-
raphics say, are cattle and revOlu-
tons. This lack of information,
however, probably proves more about
our own mental furnishings than it
docs about the lack of importance
and inconsequentiality of Uruguay.
OF all the nations not engaged in
a great war and therefore desperate
ly busy, only Uruguay has had and
promptly acted on the estimable i'm
pulse to send ship to bring Shackle-
toms men back from their dreary
prison on Elephant island, says the
New York Times.
Uruguay's obligation to rescue
these freezing and starving sailors
and scientists is rather less than
the one resting on the other larger
and richer nOnbelligerents for the in
crease of whose scientific knowledge
as much as that of Great Britain
whose brave explorers risked their
lives.
But it was Uruguay that had the
happy thought and is carrying it out
at its own expense!
The "a, B, G powers" in spite of
all their claims to superiority in
South America, let the chance to do
a beautiful thing escape them, though
they and we know perfectly well how
i'll England can spare any Of its
ships at present for expeditions like
this one.

serviceable walking outfits and start

a week in Colorado Spring on the

.:oRs FOR LITTLE URUGUAY ROMANCE OF REAL ESTATE
Former Possessions of Dutch Farmers
in New York State Yield
H.. Big Prices.

The sale of block of the Dyck-
man farm recalls revolutionary his
tory while making new history in the
romance of New York real estate,
says the World of that city.
Twelve miles from city hall by
subway, this land brings a reported
price of nearly $4,000 a lot, or
$4,000 an acre. Great apartments
reared on it are to house 1000 per-
sons, density rate of 100000 to
the square mile.
Just around the corner is Kings
bridge, where Frederick Philipse
took thrippence toll of every man
and horse entering or leaving Man
haitian. The Dyckmans, Wings in
the Revolution, kept their lands,
though harried by the British. The
tory Philipse lost manors and toll
bridge. His vast estates were sold,
the Harlem Heights properties
bringing $1,000. The attainder did
! not affect his descendants entailed
rights, and New York state had to
pay John Jacob Astor 100000 to
quiet their claims, which he bought.
Not a bad region is this for his
toric pilgrimages. Philipse manor,
in Yonkers; the Van Courtlandt ma
nor, in the park SO named, and the
Jumel mansion, ON lands attained
from the Philipses, are all open to
the public. BY the generosity of the
heirs the Dyckman farmhouse is also
preserved to New York as a memo
rial of sturdy Dutch farmer folk,
who, in the midst of Tory neighbors
and lords of vast estates, held fast
both to their acres and their democ-
raey.

that so far as he knew Birrell had

Birrell then resumed the witness

that he had had several interviews

pressed the desire for more troops
