BRITISH OFFICIALS WILL NOT

FOR COUNT TARNOW.
Say Conduct of TeutOnic Ambassa-
doris and COnsuls Has Been Such as
to Justify Them i'm Declining TO

London, Nov. 27.-The foreign of
fto has sem Ambassador Page a note
definitely refusing to grant a safe
conduct to Count Adam Tarnowskt
o Tarnow, the new Austro-H Hum
garian ambassador to the United
States.
The reaso for the refusal may be
paraphrased as follows:
Even if international law forbade
the refusal Of such a conduct the ac+
ton Of Austrian and German ambaS-
sizes and c~onsulates abroad has been
SO much in excess Of regular diplo-
matte functions that the British govs
eminent feels justified in withholding
its consent for such diplomats to travx
Ell to their posts"

TO WELCOME FIRST HOME

Entertain Regiment-SecOnd In
fantry Remains at Border.

Columbia, Nov. 26.-At a Joint con-
ference of the members of the CITY
council and the directors Of the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday q
donation of $1,000, if so much be
necessary, was agreed upon for the
purpose of entertaining the First reg
lment after it's arrival in Columbia
from the border to be mustered out.
The details of the entertainment
will be left with the Chamber of Com
merce and the date will not be set
until Col. Blythe can what
time will be convenient to him. 1t
Will probably be Friday or Saturday
December ! or 2, and the present ten
tatlVe programme is that the regiment
will be brought by train from Styx
will parade through the streets. at
Which time the citizens, it is hoped,
Will come out to give them a royal
welcome along the line of march. At
ter this parade they will probably be
given the liberty Of the city and mu-

viii be decided on later. 1t is hoped
that not only the citizens of Columbia

Will be here to join in this welcome.
The -four Columbia companies are

these young men upon their return
to South Carolina.

AL INCORPORATION.
Counsel Thorn for Executive A6 v
Committee Points Out w of
Road for Protection.

Washington, Nov. 27.-.. animation
of A. P. Thorn, counse,$ the railway
executive advisory g ~Aittee, on sug-
gestions he has mrS n behalf of the
railroads for leg don to improve
their sltuatio' As begun today by
the joint CO. 5Sional committee in
V~estlsating lAnsportation problems.
Senator Newlands, chairman, and
Representative Adamson, vice chair
man of the committee, conducted to-
days examination and Mr.. Thorn will
resume the stand tomorrow to be
questioned by other members.
Mr.. Thom's testimony was directed
almost exclusively to developments of
his suggestion for compulsory national
incorporation of railroads. He said he
believed congress has power to COM
pei a carrier to obtain a federal license
or charter, or forbid it to interstate
commerce. Police powers over grade
crossings, separate passenger cars for
different races, taxation, and other
such questions, he thought, should
be left as far as possible to the State.
He opposed dividend limitations on
nationally incorporated roads unless
q minimum as well as "A maximum
return is fixed.
Answering a suggestion of Mr..
Adamson that the railroads might try
out national Incorporation on one new
o he said the question confront
ing the public now is not how a
nationally Incorporated road would
succeed, but how to take care of ESQ.,
600 miles of road already in opera
ton which need some such relief as
he believes will be found under a fed
eral controlled system.
Mr.. Thorn. said the railroads are
almost unanimously for federal in
corporation and that although most
railroad men oppose government own
ership there are some whos
E&sks4sss1Isz
ITO provide FOR government ownerskip
if the money to buy the roads were
found.
