 Railroad Traffic Will
 Be Eliminated by Board

New York. June s.-Elimination of non- essential commodities from freight traf- fife, curtailment of luxurious passenger service and the intensification of effici- ency are called for in the American Rail- way association war boards plans for making the transportation systems of the country best serve the nations war needs, as announced yesterday. Howard Elliott, former president of the New Haven rail- road in making the announcement said:
 "The public should willingly give up nonessentials. It is going to be a great deal more important for this country to move food, fuel, iron and the like than to move luxuries.
 "On May there was, according to the record, a shortage of 13O,o00 cars. If, through better loading by the shipper, better movement by the railroad and more alert work by every man in the railroads, from the president to the water boy, each car is used more effici- ently, it will not take long to get what amounts to an added service of 150,O00 cars out of the cars on hand.
 There is a very luxurious passenger service in some places in the country which we would like to keep up, but the country can get along without some of it''

OREGON SENATOR IS GREAT ADMIRER
 OF BIRMINGHAM
Judge Charles L. McNary Has Often Visited Here-Is Brother-in- Law of Dr. and MrsO
 Snedecor

Judge Charles L. McNary of Salem, Ore, who has just been appointed United States senator by Governor Withycombe, is a great admirer of Birmingham, as he has visited this city on numerous occa- sicns. He has many friends and acquain- tances here, and is a brother-in-law of Dr. and Mrs. Frank Snedecor of Birming- ham.
 Senator McNary has already taken up his new duties in succession to Senator Lane, recently deceased. The new sen ator, as, chairman of the state repuo- lcan committee, was very active in lead ing his state into the Hughes column in the last election As indicating his views or public questions, he issued the fol- lowing statement before departing for Washington
 In common with the people of Oregon, I sincerely regret the occurrence that made necessary the appointment of United States senator. The death of Senator Harry Lane removes from pub lie life a lovable and an aggressive char acter whose ways were frank and open and who, under all circumstances, per formed his duty as he saw it.
 q am deeply appreciative of my selec- tion as United States senator by Gover- nor James Withycombe and am not un- mindful of the large responsibility the office enjoins. And while it is my be- lief that the public welfare would be promoted by return to republican prin- cples, l shall go to Washington not as a narrow partisan to oppose President Wilson but on the contrary to support the administration in every legitimate ef- fort it may employ in ending the war to the credit of America, and in bringing about a lasting and honorable peace to all of the nations involved.
 While a want of time precludes any elaboration of the various matters that may engage my endeavors, I shall advo- cate and enlist my efforts in behalf of na- tional equal suffrage and national prohi- bition as each of these principles has been adopted by the people of the state which I am selected to represent. l shall cooperate immediately with any move ment which has for it's purpose the sup pression of gambling and speculation in the necessities of life to the end that the consuming public shall pay fair profit to the producer only.
 'fKnowing that I owe my state what ever service I may render, prompts me to leave for Washington within day.
