VOTE FOR A LIMIT
To ROAD CONTROL
Senate Committee Members Favor
Restoration l8 Months
After War Ends.

WAsHrvarow, FEB. 2.
The Senate Interstate Commerce Com
rnittee late yesterday, by n vote Of ! ] to y,
reached an agreement on two vital points
in the Railroad Control bill, limiting the
period of government management to u
months after the close of the war and
giving the President power to fix rates.
In taking this action, which will be
followed by the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce today,
the Senate committee amended the ad-
ministratiOn bill.
Administration forces and their spokes-
men IN the committee have favored the
exercise Of government control during the
war and until Congress shall agree to'the
return OF the properties TO their owners.
Opposition to such a section IN the bill
was based on fear that the roads would
remain under government control Tor q
very long period and that this would be
the forerunnef of government ownership.
The agreement reached by the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee covers
the rate-fxing authority and definitely
limits the period of control The corn
mittce voted to vest the raternaking
power in the President, with the Inter
state Commerce Committee an n court
OF appeal After a hearing the com
mittec, If IL sees ft, may set aside any
order Of the President az TO rates
The rate fixing clause was n com
promise between factions in the committee
Of almost equal strength, one Of which
held that the President should not be
harnpered in rate fixing matters during
the war emergency This view was
expressed by DirectorG General McAdoo,
Who. IL was generally felt, spoke for the
President The other faction took the
position that this power was too great
20 he entrusted to ono man.
LIMITATION rs A cOMPRow1sE.
The limitation section was also = com
promise between those who insisted that
the roads should be returned To their
owners rs soon as possible after the war
was over and others who believed that
the period of control should remain in
definite The latter group argued that
legislation would be needed to meet
newly created conditions and that no
limitation should he set because Con-
Rress might not he able to act II definite

Leather is almost unobtainable.
Boots with wooden soles are worn
even by the better class, and fully

front wear them. The standard
shoes contain only 10 per cent

In many cases the uppers are
made out Of old ship sails, tent

AT 40 SHE GETS NEW PAPA,
MAN OF "a ADOPTING HER

New York, Feb. 2.-Childlcss
couples adopting little boys or girls
are fairly common in the Surro-
gates Court, and occasionally there
yOn will see n young man or
young woman, pretty well grown,
adopted by some fairly elderly per-
son. But the adoption bf a woman
Of forty by a man Of seventy-four,
which was IegaIized by Surrogate
Fowler yesterday, was an incident
considerably out Of the usual run.
The man was Mortimer Fargo,
relative Of the family which operated
the famous pioneer express company
Of that name. He does not look his
age by decade. He has an apart
ment at AZ East Eighty y-nintl, street,
which is at Madison avenue, and Is
comfortably of.
The woman he adopted is Miss
Jane Elizabeth Geraty, who also
might pass for a less mature age
than the one she gave. Miss Geraty
lives in MIR. Fargo's apartment and
long has been his housekeeper.
Mr.. Fargo's wife died in 1911. tie
said in his legal petition that she had
requested that Miss Geraiy remain
as his housekeeper and care for him
as long as he lived.
This promise she has kept and is
now my housekeeper," he said In
his affidavit.
