railroad view OF what is the matter
with the country's transportation facil-
tiles was presented to the Joint con-
gressional investigating committee to-
day by Alfred P. Thorn, counsel for the
railroad executives advisory commit
tee. Mr.. Thorn, chosen as first spokes-
man for the roads when the committee
decided to begin it's inquiry by hear
ing their side of the case, blamed the
present system Of corrective" regu-
lation. divided between the state and
federal governments for most of the
problems troubling the public and the
carriers, and appealed for a discussion
OF necessary changes mot upon any
mere theory or jealousy as to the dis
tribution Of governmental power, but
upon the large issue of what public in
terest requires"
Rates, Mr.. Thorn declared, are less
important to public interest than Ger
tainty, safety and sufficiency of trans
portation.'. Under present conditions
In which "the railroad business Is
largely controlled by political instead
OF business considerations" he added,
railroad credit is SO poor and returns
90 small that adequate extension Of
lines into undeveloped territory and
enlargement of facilities are impos-
eible."

COMPLICATIONS IN
SIGHT IS NEW FEAR
ACTIVITIES OF GERMAN SUBMA.
RINES MAY CAUSE FRESH
TROUBLE.

Berlin. Tuesday, Nov. 81, (by wire
less to The Associated Press via Say
Vile. N. Y, Nov. 23.)-A period OF
complications may again be impending
in German-American relations. Ger
many's conduct of submarine warfare
has brought forth an abundant crop OF
American inquiries Of which Joseph G.
Grew. the American charge, recently
has filed no less than ten-five of them
today. Six remain to be answered In.
Guiding the cases of the Marina on
which a number of Americans appear
to have been killed, and the liner Ara
bia. the sinking of which the American
government. declares appears to be in
consistent with the promises of the
German government regarding the
treatment of passenger liners.
The United States bases it's attitude
in the case of the Arabic on the as.
sumption that 1t was unarmed and tor.
pedoed without warning and Is unable
to see that there was adequate justifi.
cation for forcing the passengers in
to the boats. Washington believes the
submarine commander, on ascertain
ing that there were women and chill
dren on the decks. should have re.
Trained from making an attack.
Germany in the four cases in regard
to which replies already have been
made was found to have fairly con.
vincing answers, which it is believed
may put quite different aspect on at.
fairs. 1t Is pointed out here for ex.
ample. that according to testimony OF
her own passengers the Arabia was
armed and used her cannon; that the
sea was smooth and that other vessels
were near. 1t Is argued that the Ara.
bia. having on board large number
of coolie war workers, should be re-
garded as transport.

U. s. OFFICIALS INTERESTED.

Washington. d. c., Nov. 23.-The
wording of the Berlin dispatch that "a
period of complications may be i'm
pending in German-American rela-
tions" aroused much interest in Official
circles, especially as the dispatch was
allowed to pass very strict censor
ship.
Officials refused to disclose details
of the inquiries sent to Berlin on the
ground that they were only inquiries
for fact and would have a very bad
effect on public opinion If an alarm
were given, only to be shown ground.

BRITISH COMMENT.

London, Nov. %. The editorials in
the morning newspapers today concur
in the view that the death of Emperor
Francis Joseph and the accession of a
new monarch will not materially affect
the course Of the war.
"The future of Austria-Hungary,"
says the Morning Post, was never
darker or more forboding. Whatever
the outcome of the war she stands to
lose. Even if the Central powers avoid
a decisive defeat she will remain a
vassal of Germany, In fact, If not IN
name"
Although Emperor Francis Joseph is
recognized by the editorial writer's to
have been personally friendly to Great
Britain and the tragedies Of his reign
are sympathetically recalled, today's
estimates of his achievements and his
personality are not fiattering.

SPORTS Gossip About Events of National Importance and the Persons Who Are in the Head.
 Liner Glasses.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. .. - The i opinion had been expressed since the holding of the western golf champion ships at Del Monte recently that un- less new conditions obtain, it will never be possible to hold bona fide championship.
 Attention is called to the fact that while the Del Monte tournament was success from the point of view of the quality of the play, the entry list was far from being a representative one, only a very few of the middle states golfers participating. The req son is ascribed largely to the fact that players are reluctant to pay the heavy transportation charges neces- sary to take the long trip half way across the continent.
 It is claimed that a championship held in the middle states is no more a genuine affair than one held on the Pacific coast for the same reason. Pa cific coast golfers are precluded, be ing barred by the recent ruling that to accept free transportation is a vio- lation of amateurism.
 It is pointed out that these cham | pionships revert to mere sectional matches, in which only those within easy reaching distance take part, and in nowise represents the territory which they are supposed to cover. This naturally has again opened the | question as to whether the ruling against players being permitted to | accept free transportation is working against the best interests of the game.
 It is shown that the championships in England are all that they are rep resented to be for the reason that re- gardless of where they are held, Eng fish golfers do not have to put their hands in their pockets to pay heavy transportation charges. The British Isles represent in area no more than one of our four large states. and the point of play is within reasonable reaching distance for all.
 Charles (Chick) Evans. of Chicago, the national open golf champion, writ ing in this connection, says:
 q refrained from making any com ment on the question of transpOrta. tion as long as any golfer could be encouraged to go, but now that the tournament is over mention the mat l ter because the facts are needed to point a moral, and now when the in | teresting colorful scene on the Pa cific coast is ended and the last putt holed it is well to consider the event in it's entirety It will be good thing | for the game on the Pacific coast | for the cup to be held there, but the tournament was not largely represen- tative, and we cannot have truly rep resentative golf in American unless 1 transportation is provided

the effect that San Francisco will be welcomed into the Pacific Coast Hockey league in the event thatsit is found feasible for the teams to make the long jump in order to play to schedule. According to present ar engagements, Spokane will get the Vic toria franchise in the league for the 1916-17 season.
 Seattle, Portland and Vancouver are the three other teams which will make up the association, together with San Francisco in the event that the con ditions permit. No trouble will be met in obtaining permission should the directors of the association see their way clear to handle the financial end on trips between San Francisco and the other cities.
 According to present plans the sea son will run from December to March and the playing schedule will be so ar ranged that every team will have an equal number of games at home and abroad. Victoria was forced to give up the game for lack of support, due to the fact that the great war has entirely engaged the thoughts of the citizens. With it's acquisition of the franchise, Spokane is building a fine new ice rink.
 Interest in the sport fin San Fran cisco appears to be lively, and clubs which have been formed already have shown considerable prowess, the teams being made up of former east ern and northwest stars. San Fran cisco also has one of the finest indoor skating rinks in the country.
