board felt that IL everything suggest
ed could be done the capacity of the
railroads would be greatly increased
but he did not believe all the things
could be accomplished because of the
human element entering into the OPP
GRAFTON of railroads.
Regarding traffic on the New
Haven system Mr.. Elliott said in re-
sponse to Mr.. Thorne's inquiries that
had more terminal facilities been
available last year. The road would
have reaped larger gross and net
income. He said the He'll Gate bridge
route would assist the railroads In
handling freight at the New York
terminal and consequently would re-
suit in lessening congestion, which
even now was improving each day.
julius Kruttschnitt, chairman OF
the Southern Pacific, was questioned
first regarding the timber lands own
ed by the system. Mr. Thorne intro
duced figures he said were compiled
by the government showing that the
Southern Pacific owns one-twentieth
of all the privately owned timber
lands in the country. Mr. Kruttschnitt
said it was true that the Southern
Pacific's return on its capital stock
last year was slightly over IL pei
cent and the greatest return in his
tory.

ecutives will be concluded tomorrow

No Dying Message.

Ossining, n Y, May 24.--Dr. Ar
thur Warren Waite was electrocuted
at Sing Sing prison at 11:10 O'Clock
tonight for the murder of his father
in-law. John e. Peck of Grand Rap
ids, Mich.
The young dentist walked calmly
and with firm step from his cell to
the death chamber, accompanied by
the Rev. A. N Peterson, Protestant
chaplain of the prison. He faltered,
however, as he neared the electric
chair. but recovered quickly and nod
ded to the group Of physicians, prison
officials and others who had assem-
bled as witnesses.
Waite submitted quietly to the or
deal of being. strapped in the chair
and went to his death without a word
OF protest or goodbye. Three shocks
were administered within four min
utes.
The two hours before his death
Waite spent in prayer with his spir-

the clergyman asked the condemned
man If there was anyone to whom he
wished to send message of fare

swer.
The chaplain declared that Waite,
who confessed that he poisoned his
wealthy father-in-law in the expec-
tation that his wife would obtain
large share of the estate. seemed to
look upon his approaching doom as
q wonderful adventure.

Washington, May 24.--Reports
reaching the war department indicate
that the war army acts prohibition
against the sale of liquor about mill
tary camps or to enlisted men and Of
ficers in uniform is being observed
rigidly Even hotels and restaurants
have refused to serve liquor to guests
for army officers wearing the uniform
on the ground that such sale would
be to the officer and would make the
management liable to a fine of not
more than 81, 900 or not more than one
years Imprisonment or both, which
the act provides as penalty for viola
ton.
The law forbids not only sale but
even possession of liquor at any of
military camps or clubs. A bill ap-
plying similar restrictions to the navy
is pending.
The prohibition section of the war
army bill provides:
That no person, corporation, part
nership or association shall sell, sup
ply or have in his or its possession
any intoxicating or spurious liquors
at any military station, cantonment,
camp. fort post, officers or enlisted
mems clubs, which is being used at
the time for military purposes under
this act.
1T shall be unlawful to sell any
liquor. including beer, ale
or wine to any officer or member of
the military forces while in uniform
except as herein provided"
The secretary of war is empowered
to make regulations permitting the
sale and use of intoxicating liquors
for medical purposes"
To cover any situation which may
develop. "the president of the United
States is authorized to make such reg
ulations governing the prohibition Of
alcoholic liquor in or near military
camps and to officers and enlisted
men Of the army as he may from time
10 time deem necessary or advisable" J"
Thef president has established no
rules as yet under this authority.

Abbott Speaks for Guard.
Col. +. e. Abpott VINO came into the
dining hall late ana lame from a tail
from his horse in Santa Fe, spoke
for the national guard. Colonel Alb
bott made it quite plain that he never
mad believed in the national guard
as the best army OF defense, but he
praised the patriotism of the men
composing 1t and at the same time
declared emphatically for universal
military training. This declaration
by Colonel Abbott was enthusiastical-
ly applauded and General Greene rose
and SAID that he gave his unqualified
endorsement TO all that colonel ABB
bott had said. General Greene COM
manded force of national guards
men on the border last year. He
found them superior men, but lacking
IN the training necessary to make
them efficient men in the scientific
warfare of today.
Colonel Walker spoke for the en-
glneers of the army and the prob
lens they had to face. Colonel Ken
nedy followed with most instructive
talk on the work of the medical corps
and the progress that had been made
in stamping out disease in the army.
Colonel Bertsch spoke of the work of

he was facetious at times, but under

problem of how the United States
army and the armies of the allies were
to be fed. He referred to the war
