SMITH SAYS
ARE A MENACE
L. & N. President Says Also
That in Action They Are
a Calamity.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, May 5.-Milton H.
Smith, president of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, finished his direct
testimony before the interstate COM
merce commissions investigation of
the roads affairs today. He declared
all Legislative bodies were menace
and in action are calamity.
He said that most any legislator
could introduce legislation dangerous
to a railroad and the railroads are
forced at times to protect themselves.
He gave his own definition of politics,
plutocrats and property rights.
He startled the commissioners by
offering to propose compromise to
end the investigation. His counsel,
however, refused to allow him to do
so. On advice of counsel, he also re-
fused to answer a list of questions
asked him regarding the Louisville
and Nashville-s alleged political ac-
tivities In various southern states. He
will be cross examined tomorrow.
"It Is an exceedingly difficult mat
ter" Mr.. Smith said, ''to protect the
property of a large corporation in
states from conhscation by the peo-
pie"
BY what people ?" asked Mr.. Polk.
"By the people Of those states, act
ing through their lawmaking bodies.
You know all men are free and equal,
but we couldn't get along without our
plutocrats. Under our form of gov
eminent, it is permissible to do any
thing necessary to get another mans
property, providing you can keep out
of jail.
"All Legislative bodies are 81 men
ace. In action they are a calamity,
They are many and numerous, and
we have trouble at times with all of
them beginning with congress and
going on down the line to the town
council. We must do what we can
to conciliate them all. We have to
protect ourselves"

Visits Pensacola

Justice James B. Whitfield Of the

guest of DR.. and Mrs. Louis DEM
Blocker, at their home on West Gads-
den street.
It is the first time in six years

as surprised at its growth and rapid
progress. In getting off the train he
said that he could hardly recognize
the town as the same place and sta
ted that with the natural facilities
of the port, he sees no reason why
it should not develop into the great

PRESIDENT WILSON WATTS

Washington, May 5.-President
Wilson tonight still awaited word as

United States Will Wait To
See if Kaiser Lives Up
To Promises.
NEW ORDER GIVEN
GERMAN U-BOATS
Washington Believes Break
Postponed If Not En-
tirely Averted.
q AssocIATEp PREss.

Washington, May Seer
many's note has postponed, If it
actually has not averted diplo-
matte break with the United
States. President Wilson will
make his decision after he has
received the official text, which
arrived from Berlin from Ambas-
sad0r Gerard tonight. IL should
be before President Wilson to-
morrow. It was stated authori-
tatively after the cabinet meet
ing today that If the official text
bore out the unofficial press YER
sion that Germany's assurances
undoubtedly viii be accepted.
Before taking another step the
United States doubtless will await
the fuliIlment of Germany's lat
est promises. In such a case the
United States might not reply,
but await the evidences of Ger
manyis abandonment of present
methods of submarine warfare.
The president is described as be-
ing in a position where he cannot
question Germany's good faith.
The German embassy views the
note as all the United States has
asked for and signalizes the re-
turn 20 "cruiser warfare" with
the submsrine exercising the
right of visit and search.
Congress took the note quietly,
me general sentiment seeming to
favor leaving the situation to the
president. While the cabinet
members who went over the I'M
official version with the president
today declined to discuss the note,
they indicated break had been
averted. They reflected the view
that Germany be accorded test
of time despite Germany's refer
ence to action she expects the
United States to take against
Great Britain's restraints Of neu-
trial trade.

city charter or to in any way inter-

an election to make any change the

MANY OFFICIALS OF
RAILROADS IN CITY
Representing Various Sys.
TENS, They Are Here On
Secret Business.

Pensacola seems to be a popular
city with railroad officials these days.
They have been arriving in numbers
during the past three days and it was
stated last night that this mornisg
probably would witness the arrival
of others. No one man seems to have
any connection with the other, but
all seem intent on some business. Here
is the list as it stood last night:
c. A. Wickersham, president At
lanta and West Point.
E. H. Dallas, general agent Etchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe.
Haiden Miller, freight traffic man
ager Mobile and Ohio.
G. P. jackson, assistant freight
agent Mobile and Ohio.
Fl. A. Voss, travelling freight sgeEt
Queen and Crescent.
H. v. Smith, general agent Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and Georgia Air
Line.
]. K. Ridgely, assistant general
passenger agent Louisville and Nash-
vile.
What are they doing here? Local
railroad officials sees to know their
mission, but they, like the visitors, are
secretive. According to their version
the visitors just happened to drop
into the city about the same time.
If one had to guess their mission
he could come pretty near winning
the prize by saying that they repre-
sent railroads that will handle a part
