Representative elect Allan says thai h. does not expect to make the trip to the coast on his way to Juneau in his new motor sled although his invention Is working better with every trial He went out for another spin yesterday taking as passenger Mir. Chester. the Chinik trader, who re- gently came to town. The engine be- haved perfectly and without turning on full power aa estimated speed of forty miles an hour was obtained where there was good going and an unobstructed road. The weather is pretty cold for joy-riding and a forty mile clip makes it bite fiercely. One ot the problems Is to devise a wind shield that will really serve a, protection and at the same time be transparent under all conditions. When the heat from the engine reaches the shield 1t Is frosted over and Scotty has to crane his head above the shield to see where he Is : ,irg. He Is greatly pleased with the way the sled is working.

Representatives of the steam railroads
of the United States yesterday appeared
before the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion and urged that body to expedite the
granting of the general Increase Of Is per

pose q reduction of rates II, upon mature
investigation. the commission discovers

far as 1t can be under the law.

day In response to call from Daniel
Willard. president of the Baltimore and

EARLY ADJOURNMENT
MAY FOLLOW COMPACT

Belief that Congress may conclude itf
work and adjourn early in June was
strengthened yesterday by an informal
agreement among Senate leaders thai
nothing but war legislation would be
taken up at thiA session.
By this understanding hundreds Of bills
and resolutions of purely domestic con-
Germ will be shelved until the regular
session beginning next December.
The agreement also gave impetus to
Senator Weeks plan for the creation OF
a joint Congressional Committee on the
Conduct of the War. With such a COM
mittee sitting during recess of Congress
many Republican leaders, desirous OF
keeping both houses in session con
tinuously during the war period. would
be willing to consent to adjournment.
