rice carried to New Orleans from all

NJ. Carter, representing the Carter

The commission decided the reduction
asked for was unreasonable.
Last year. Captain Cooley represent

ty-cent rate was sufficient and Undue
ed that body to grant the reduction.
AS a result of such rate cutting, Cap
tains Carter and Bradford told the
commissioners, they lost money that
season. Capt Cooley claims TO have
made money on the lower rate.
The steamboat rate question is one

10y MORNING. JOURNAL SPECIAL LEtstp wIRGl
/ Washington, Jan. 1.-THE first in
dication OF what a troubled legisla-
tive sea the Administrations plans for
strengthening the army have been
launched Upon came today when
Chairman Hay Of the house military
committee told President Wilson he
Iisapproved The fundamental sugges-
'ion Of the program, the organization
Of continental army Of 10000 fed
eral volunteers.
Secretary Of War Garrison. who
framed the administration scheme in
dicated that the attack Of Represen-
tativc Hay, before whose committee
hearings on the army bill will be re-
sunod tomorrow, would not alter the
war departments insistence upon its
plan, In substance at least Repre-
sentative Hay said he favored passage
OF a milltla pay bill under a contract
ual provision with state soldiers who
drew pay from the federal govern !
ment which would require them TO /
serve In the regular army in time of +
war. He also proposed that present |
organizations Of the army be brought (
up 70 war strength which. he said,
would furnish the number Of men
thought necessary by Secretary Gar
rison without any large addition Of
officers or Increase Of overhead
'harres.
The administration plan which Ses-
'etary Garrison told the military COM
nlttce had the entire approval of
PRESIDENT Wilson, would provide for
additional regular army organizations
o bring the total force up to 141 900 !,
IS compared with approximately 1907
100 at present. This would mean, he
aid in his testimony, approximately
100 additional officers who would be
'eeded for training of the continental
Orce.
The secretary, as we'll as Major Gen
raj Scott, chief of staff. and other ,
fmy authorities, has declared that no {
roposal to employ The National guard ,
$ first line troops could be worked
ut that did not give the federal gov !
absolute jurisdiction over q
hem in peace as well as war time. =
