whom originally belonged to the New
York National Guard. The camp Off

The stands were filled with soldiers
and every box was occupied by the Off

General O'Ryan threw out the first ball

The Yankees had fine chance to

Bodie reached first on singles with
only one man out, but Peck and Ruel

COMPENSATION QUESTION

Washington, Jan. 6.-There Will be
no serious congressional opposition to

the railroads, except on the question
of compensation, which was fixed in
the proclamation as the average net
operating income of the three years
preceedinr June 30, 1917"
Lots of old fogies in house and
senate oppose the government do
ing anything except fuTnis fat jobs
for politicians. But all the wind has
been taken out of their sails by the
enthusiasm with which the nation re-
CelVed the announcement and by the
skyrOcketing of the stock market.
Present indications point to :. fight
by some radicals against the presi-
dents proposed guarantee to the rail
road stock and bcndholders, as tex

La Toilette is opposed to this basis

sation that an attempt Is being made

TRAFFIC CHIEF
LONG EXPERT IN
THAT LINE DUTY
FIRST JOB IN TAKING OVER
RAILWAYS THAT OF UNTAN-
CLING CONGESTED TRAFFIC,
WHICH BEEN ENTRUSTED To
CHAS. c. McCHORD.
Especial Staff Dispatch.)

Washington, d. c., Jan. 6-The
first job faced by the government in
taking over the railroads is the me-
chanical one of untangling traffic.
For this undertaking Director Gen
eral McAdoo has chosen as traffic di-
rector Charles c. McChord of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
McChord has been specialist on
freight congestion for several years.
He mas particularly specialized on
coal freight congestion. OF late he
has had a force of inspectors at work
following cars from mine to consum
er and surveying general conditions
Of freight movement.
1t was McChord who, a year ago.
Strengthened out the freight conges-
tion and coal shortage after a series
Of hearings at Cincinnati.
McChords is TIE car expert of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. He
knows how many cars there are in
the country; how many of them are
in condition so they can be used :;
what roads are we'll supplied; where
the inadequate terminals are located
and where the adequate terminals can
be reached, and where the locomo-
tives can be found.
Next to the coal jam the conges-
tion of munitions materials will re-
ceive attention. War work must be
expedited. For weeks the ordnance
department of the war organization
has been almost mad over the rail-
way situation.
kilograms have been pouring from
ordnance officers to railroad Off
cials demanding information as to
the location Of certain loaded cars
containing munitions for export or
material for manufacture.
The first big movement Of con
gested freight under the direction OF
McChord will be to the less used At
lantlc ports. Trains will be re-rout-
ed to Philadelphia, Baltimore. Char
lesion, Newport News, and Savannah
and ships will be transferred to these
points for cargoes.

WELCOMED At.
PARISH HOUSE
Large Number Young New
Recruits Given Cordial
Greeting III the City.
EXPRESS THANKS
FOR TREATMENT
Fine Example Could We'll
Be Ernulated by Other
City Organizations.

One of the pleasant incidents of the
visit to the city yesterday Of scores
of navy bows was the warm open
house reception rendered at what is
known as the Parish house, just north
of Christ Church. on Palatox street.
Within the past few days hundreds of
new arrivals have been reported. and
these young men, some Of them COM
ing across the United States. appre-
ciate any little attentions put forth
in their behalf. The welcome, there
fore, at the Parish house, was timely.
Rev. John H. Brown, rector of
Christ Church, was personally pres
ent yesterday afternoon when prob
ably eighty of the young naval men
called. accepting invitations to make
the Parish House one Of their points
of call while in the city. Mr. Brown
extended each Of the youths q warm
welcome, formed their acquaintance
and bade them come as often as they
pleased and remain just as long as
suited their fancy. In taking their
leave. many of them thanked Mr..
Brown very cordially foyr the little
considerations shown them, showing
that the efforts of the well-known
rector did not go unspent.
This is an example which could
very profitably be followed by lodges
churches and other organizations in
the city. Hundreds of new arrivals
have been reported at the local air
station, and there is every reason to
believe that many others will follow
in due time. In fact they have been
assigned to southern station SO rapid
ly that they have not as yet been
completely uniformed, and many are
attired in civilian clothing, their en-
listment being known by the fact that
that they wear the peculiar naval
turban of Uncle Sans navy. Many
of them who have arrived are college
boys and sons of wealthy men, and
are deserving of every consideration.
for many have made sacrifices in en-
listing in Uncle Sans service.
