ONE-HOUSE PLAN
May BE ADOPTED
BY THE CHINESE
BIZ Cameral System N o t
Adopted to Orientals'
Need, Says Adviser.

Picking, March 24.-Parliament sit
ting at a constitutional conference has
rejected the section of the proposed
new constitution providing for two
houses of parliament, and it now
seems likely that one-hour system
may be adopted by China.
DR.. w. F. Willoughby, the Ameri-
can constitutional adviser of the Chi
nese government, has urged for many
months that the bi-camera1 system is
not well adapted to China's needs, and
the recent action of parliament was
prompted by the advice of Dr. Will
1oughby and a number of other ex-
perts on government who have been
in conference with political leaders.
Under the present system in China,
based on the Marking provisional
constitution, both the house and SEN
ate are elected directly by the people.
The two bodies have an aggregate of
nearly one thousand members, and
have proved themselves very un-
wieldy.
Many newspapers and reform lead
ers are urging that parliament be linn
tied to one body of not more than
three hundred members.

CONTINUE PLEA
FOR ADVANCE IN
FREIGHT CHARGE
Carriers of BituminOus Coal
Seek to Increase Tariff
5 to Is Cents

Washington, March 24.-Pleading
for an advance in freight rates, del
egation Of seven presidents of the sew
en- principal railroad carriers of BIZ
luminous coal have laid their case be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The recent Supreme Court decision
on the Adamson law, and the conse-
quent increase of wages to railway
employees. were also cited in the rep
reservations Of the railroad men laid
before the commission.
This action is the first step in a gen
eral movement blythe railroads to re-
wise freight rates that the carriers
may be able to meet the increased
burdens imposed upon them and OBJ
tain the additional capital required
if they are to continue to perform
their duties to the public. 1t is the
direct outgrowth of the increased wa
ges to employees recently granted to
avert a nationwide strike. It is un-
derstood that President Wilson be-
lieves the contentious Of the railroads
are just.
Proposed advances in the freight
rates on fiituminous coal would affect
shipments to the Atlantic seaboard
and the lake ports. The tariffs which
have been filed provide for increases
of five cents a ton to Hampton Roads
and Newport News, 10 cents ton to
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, and Is cents a ton to the lake
ports.
Coal and coke interests from the
Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky
fields opposed the proposed increases
A proposal to increase rates on coke
from ovens in this field to Virginia
blast furnaces by approximately fifty
cents a ton also was vigorously oppos-
cd. The roads contended that such
increases WOULD place coal and coke
on a parity. Producers urged that
present rates were profitable and in
cfeaSes were not justified.

Twenty YEARS AGO.
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

By order of the Superior Court,
Sheriff Hawley today destroyed by
fire all the paraphenalia seized by the
Law and Order league at the recent
pool room raids in Greenwich and
Stamford. the seized and condemned
stuff weighed up 1858 pounds. It's
value must have reached thousands
Of dollars. It consisted Of desks, tele-
graph instruments, books, telegraph
and other blanks, crayons, waste
baskets and. a long list Of other
things. The articles were burned I'M
der eyes of the Law and Order league
in the furnaces Of the cellar of the
county building. There were a num-
Der of blackboards put in the furnace
that must have cost at least $25
a piece.
Some reporters watched the flames
consume the seized articles. It is the
law, of course, but it started a dis
cussion if law was not sinful that
destroyed articles that could be put
to legitimate uses and needs. If sold
in proper way to proper parties, the
sale would bring back money into the
state treasury. The blackboards de-
stroyed might be used in some state
institution where children are taught
or go to school.
Secretary Thrasher was inclined to
look at the matter in the same light.
He thought it was a shame to destroy
articles which could be put to legiti-
mate uses but it was the law, he said.
Still he admitted the destruction Of
liquor does not prevent the use or
abuse Of it,
