GENERAL PROSPERITY
MAKE ACTIVE CHRISTMAS
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Nov. 25.-The general
prosperity of the country promises
to make the coming Christmas most
commercially active the country has
ever known, says a plea issued by
express companies for "early Christ
mas shipping"
Although this crisis arises every
year as regularly as the holiday
come along, the notice reads, the ex-
traordinary conditions of transporter
rtion prevailing at the present time
accentuate the need for early ship
ping this year.
"The railroads are already work
ing under pressure but it is believed
that with the holiday shipping season
stretched over the entire month Of
December more adequate service can
be given than if the entire Christmas
movement IS jammed in the week i'm
mediately preceding Christmas"

The fact that telegraph lines are cut

reach of the artillery.
Government agents have received a
report that General Murgia's cavalry,
approaching Chihuahua City from the

The cavalry has left to prevent rein

claim was considerably reduced, and

General Counsel for Roads
Presents Final Argument
To Commission.
CLAIM STATE RIGHTS
ARE NOT VIOLATED
Declares Plan Would Fur
nish Surer Basis For the
Investing Public.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Nov. 25.-A. P. Thorn,
counsel for the railway executives
advisory committee, completed his
presentation to the joint congression-
al committee of the railroad problems
and plans the carriers worked out for
their solution.
Thorn was before the committee
three days. Just before the conclu-
sion he read a plan for federal incor
poration drawn by former Attorney
General Richard Olney, the plans
are:
"The entire power and duty of reg
ulation should be in hands of the
national government except as to
matters so essentially local and in
cidental that they cannot be used to
interfere with the efficiency of the
service or the just rights of the car
riers.
Exclusive power should be in the
federal government to supervise the
issue of interstate carrier securities.
sMr. Thorn continued his argument
that regulation of interstate com
merce by the federal government
would not invade Sthe right Of states
but merely carry out the express
purpose of the constitution. He said
it was not the purpose of the rail-
roads to inauguarate policy of aboli-
ton or obstructure of state commits
sions and that he believed they would
continue to occupy a large field Of
usefulness. But vesting the federal
government with the regulating pow
er would make it more business like
by removing it from the influence Of
local policies and politics.
cit would furnish" said Mr.. Thorn,
"a surer basis for the confidence of
the investing public because more
reliance could be put upon the judg-
ment of the whole nation as affect
ing a matter of nation wide conse-
quence than could be placed in the
varying Judgment of different local
Authorities but it viii be necessary to
go much further than merely simpli-
flying and concentrating regulation.
It will be necessary to introduce into
the system of regulation by the
national government those elements
of constructiveness and helpfulness
which are essential to the continued
growth and efficiency of the instru-
mertalities of commerce"

HARVARD 6 TO3
Neville, Scoring Yale's Only
Touchdown, Makes
Feature Play.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

New Haven, Nov. 25.-The Yale
football team emerged from the
losses of eight years to Harvard
and scored six to three victory.
The game was marked by frequent
breaks" one of which was the
principal factor in the touchdown
made by Neville, Yale's only score.
Legore rushing into Harvard's ter
ritory in the second period, fumbled
the ball which rolled ten yards to
Harvard's thirteen-yard line, where
Gates, racing with the Harvard
players, pounced on the ball and
saved the day for Yale.
The Crimson gained an early adj
vantage through the field goal
kicked by Robinson from the twenty
five yard line in the first period.
New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 25.-The
football elevens Of Yale and Harvard
met here today in their annual game
before the largest gathering of spec
tators that ever witnessed a gridiron
contest in this country. Close to
$4,000 spectators filled every seat Of
the twenty-nin miles of tiers which
form the Yale football pavilion.
The weather was cold and from a
heavily grey clouded sky the wind
blew gale out Of the north, sweep
ing down the length of the gridiron
and making punting and catching of
the ball difficult. The turf, due to
the heavy rain of Thursday, was soft
and slow.
The gathering of spectators pre-
scented a. wonderfully picturesque
scene of color.
Yale took the field for a short
warming up drill They were cheered
by the Blue host. The Crimson team
raced through the east portal for its
short pre-game practice amid the
