VIII SON DESIRES
GREATER POWER.
President Asks Authority Over
Transportation.
SOME SHIPMENTS IMPORTANT

Resolution Sent to House Committee
Directs That Chief Executive Be Au.
thorized to Give Preference or Prior.
ity to Certain Kinds Of Freight.
Washington, May 16.-Broad presi-
Dental authority over transportation,
including power to determine what
commodities shall be given preference
in the movement of freight, was asked
of congress by President Wilson with
the plea that "the exercise Of such au.
thority has become imperatively neces.
sary." 49, -.
In submitting a resolution authoriz.
ing him to exercise these powers for
the duration of the war or to delegate
them to a transportation commission.
er the president wrote the house ju.
dietary and commerce committees
that, while the railroads have shown
a patriotic spirit, creation of some
central authority should be authorized
at once to guide in determining the
priority Of shipments.
The resolution, drawn by Attorney
General Gregory, was introduced in
the house by Chairman Webb of the
judiciary committee and will be pre-
sented in the senate in a few days.
It would give the president author
ity during the war "to direct that
certain kinds of traffic or particular
shipments, as may be determined by
him, shall have preference or priority
in transportation by any common car
riers by rail or water"
May Be Modified or AnnuIled.
He also could give "these directions
at and for such times as he may de
termine and may modify, change, sus
pend or annul them," and could "di
rect the exercise Of powers conferred
by any department or agency of the
government"
Other sections would empower thu
transportation commission or com
missioner thus created to adopt, sub
ject to the presidents approval, "al
necessary rules and regulations fol
this procedure and for the enforce
ment of the directions to be given tt
carriers. It also is provided specifcal
ly that no act done or omitted to b,
done by any carrier, necessary to com
ply with such a direction shall be tn
basis of any criminal or civil liability.
In letter to Representative Web
and to Chairman Adamson of tn
commerce committee the presiden
wrote: -
"What this resolution would pre-
vide, if adopted, would be some au
thority by which competitive ques
tions of this sort could be determined
1t would cause no friction, indeed,
would remove it, and it would reliev

WASHINGTON, Sept. rs. =
Who's going to be the American
general of the skies-the COM
mander of the giant flocks of air
planes now building to bomb the
Germans back to Berlin?
Lots of people in Washington
believe they have the answer -
Brig. Gen. Benjamin ID. Foulois-
a brigadier at 81, who came right
up from the ranks.
His promotion is probably
the most rapid of any man
who ever wore Uncle Sans
uniform.
He was the first filler In the
U. s. army, the first licensed avi-
ator in the United States.
And the great aviation force
now forming is largely the fruit
of his ideas and planning.
Enlisted in '98
Foulois enlisted from his native
town in Connecticut in the engi-
neers in 1898 as a private and
helped chase the Dons out of
Porto Rico.
Then. came five years hard
marching and fighting in the
Philippines. In the second year
of his Philippine campaigns he re-
ceived a lieutenant's commission.
Hard study was mixed with
hard fighting and in 1908 he was
put in the signal corps and there
his aviation career began.
In 1909 he flew with Orville
Wright in the first cross-country
flight ever. flown. II was for 10
miles. Next year he made 116
miles in 3 hours and minutes

By 1914 he was a captain and In

For the progress already made

MAY RUN
CITY LINE

Whether the Tacoma Railway
& Power company will operate
Tacoma's new municipal street
car line across the tideflats, will
be decided by the city council
Wednesday morning.
Manager Louis H. Bean ap-
peared before the council Tues
day with a written announcement
that his company was ready to
operate the city's cars over the
city's line at actual cost, If all
minor details could be arranged.
He suggested that Mayor Fawcett
appoint q committee to meet with
him and try to prepare a contract
for operation. Fawcett promptly
replied that he would not place
the matter in the hands of a coun-
ell committee, but that the entire
council would be pleased to deal
with any proposition that Bean
had to make.
Bean Smiles.
81 want it understood that any
arrangement we make with your
company can be Cancelled in July,
1918, when your South Tacoma

pire, il we wish to do So" said
Fawcett.
1--WE may decide to operate mu-
nicipal cars over these lines, also,
and we don't want to be tied up
on any tideflats car line contract
sol that we can't do as we please. I"
Bean merely smiled at Faw-
cett's suggestion that the city
might take over the two big city
lines.
The most important thing that
we want to work out" suggested
Commissioner Gronen, ''if the #.
r. & P. operates our cars, is an
adequate transfer agreement be-
tween city line and company
lines" Z
Il will be willing to consider
"a transfer agreement, replied
Bean.
Begins Monday.
Under present arrangements,
the city will begin operating its
line next Monday, without trans
fers to any T. r. & P. lines. The
street railway company offered
some time ago to allow one cent
on each transfer, If a joint trans
fer agreement were made, but the
council rejected this rate as be-
ing inadequate.
~ want to say right now"
said Fawcett, that unless the T.
r. &c p. company is ready to give
us more than one penny on a
transfer, it doesn't need to try to
do business with us. We cant
pay interest on the debt with such
rate"
The council, acting as COM
mittee of the whole, will meet
with Bean at the city hall We'd
nesday at 10 and attempt to
thresh out a scheme by which the
T. r. & p. can operate cars.
\ Bean said Tuesday his company
would be ready to start operation
