NEW HAVEN MECCA
FOR FOOTBALL FANS
Streets Are damned, Restaurants
Packed, Policemen Frantic, Traffic
Stopped and Ears Dcafened.

New Haven, Nov. 25.-The height
reached shortly after noon when the
special trains from all sections of
New England and from New York be-
gan to deposit their passengers as
fast as the station platforms could
accommodate the throngs. The streets
leading to the center Of the city and
to the bowl were congested for hours
before game time and the masses of
pedestrians, unable to obtain trans
portation, were forced to move at the
proverbia1 six PAGES.
Streets were blocked from curb to
curb with motor cars of all types
and descriptions and the air was rent
with the continual blast and shrek
, of horns. buzzers and sirens. Police
stood at every corner directing the
traffic and at times appeared to be
swept almost off their feet by the
waves of machines, only to spring into
sight again, whistles IN one hand and
club in the other. Hotels and restau-
rants were massed from counters to
doors by the hungry throngs eager to
secure a bite Of lunch before making
the long pilgrimage to the bowl,
while walters, cash registers and din
ers formed an indescribeable mile Of
humanity.
Additional color was given to the
general view by the appearance high
in the air of a lone aeroplane, which
dipped and lunged and spiraled in
the heavy gale as it forced it's way
over the city toward the bowl.

Reorganization Of &c. G. and New
Railroad Commission Desired
REMOVE faint OF POLITICS
"A, p. Thorn Would Not Abolish State
Commission and Believes They
May Still Be Of Use, He Tells In
vestigation Committee.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Some of the
principles which the railroads believe
should be included in any just sys-
tenn of regulation were out lined to-
day to the joint congressional inves-
tigating committee by A. P. Thom
counsel for the railway executives
advisory committee. The main fea-
lures were:
The entire power and duty of regu-
lation should be in the hands Of the
national government except as to mat
tiers so essentially local and incidental
that they cannot be used to Interfere
with the efficiency Of the service OR
the just rights of the carriers. AS a
means to accomplish this end, a sys-
tenn Of federal incorporation should
be provided for to cover all railroad
corporations engaged in interstate and
foreign commerce.
REORGANIZATION Of the Interstate
commerce commission and creation of
a new federal railroad commission
and regional commissions, subordin-
ate to it. Power to be given the in
terstate commerce commission to pre-
scribe minimum rates and power of
rate suspension in the commission to
be reduced to sixty days from the time
a tariff is filed, instead of ten months
as at present
Exclusive power should be in the
federal government to supervise the
issue of Interstate carrier securities.
Removing Roads from Politics.
Mr.. Thorn said it was not the pur-
pose of the railroads to inaugurate a
policy of abolition or obstruction Of
state commissions and that he be-
ieved they would continue to occupy
a large field Of usefulness. But vest
ing the federal government with the
regulating power would make it more
business like by removing it from the
influence of local policies and politics.
sit would furnish" said Mr.. Thorn,
"a surer basis for the confidence of
the investing public. It will be nee
essary to go much farther that merely
simplifying and concentrating regula-
ton. 1t will be necessary to intro
duce into the system of regulation by
the national government those ele-
ments of constructiveness and help
fulness which are essential to the con-
tinued growth and efficiency of the
instrum entalities Of commerce."
