lions to wait at Hope Mills for the

Mrs. N. P Billiard was shot by an
unknown negro at her home in West

lodging in the fleshy part of her left

but she did move, found her pistol,
was shot in the act, and then shot at
the negro, who fled. She thinks she

WILSON ADJ
" DRESSES CONGRESS
President Asks Legislation to Reg
.ulate Government Operation of
Railroads.

Legislation to regulate the govern
-ment operation of railroads and to
guarantee the carriers compensation
on the basis of their operating income
for the last three years was asked OF
Congress Friday by President Wilson
in an address to both houses in joint
session. Bills embodying his recon-
mendations and carrying an appro-
priation of half billion dollars as a
"revolving fund.-" were introduced I'M
mediately and an attempt will be made
to rush them to prompt passage.
While the Presidents address met
with general approval among Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike, opposi-
ton is expected to develop over pro-
vision in the administration bill that
Federal control shall continue after
the war indefinitely, or until Congress
orders otherwise, and over the ques-
ton of the compensation basis.
In his address laying before Con-
gress his recommendations for carry
ing out government operation of rail-
roads, after pointing out that assun1-
ing control of the railways of the
country, great as that responsibility
is, is less than would have been the re-
sponsibility in failing to do so, and
making it plain that the directors OF
the railroads responded to the needs
imposed by war promptly and gener-
ot1sly and that if he had taken the task
out of their hands it was not because
of any dereliction or failure on then
part but only because there'were some
things which the government can d.
and private management cannot, Pres
ident Wilson said:
It had become Enthusiastically plan
that only under government admins
tration can the entire equipment 0
these several systems of Transports
ton be fully and unreservedly throw
into a common service without inju1
ious discrimination against particular
ly properties. Only under governmer
administration can an absolutely ur
restricted and unembarrassed commo
use be made of all tracks, terminal
terminal facilities and equipment {
every kind.
Only under that authority can ne
terminals be constructed and develol
ed without regard to the requirement
\ or limitations of particular roads. B,
under government administration q
these things will be possible-not i
stantly, but as far as practical diff
culties, which cannot be merely CO
jured away, give way before the ne
management.
The common administration will
carried out with as little 'disturban
of the present operating organizatio
and personnel Of the railways as pc
sible. Nothing will be altered or d
turbed which it is not necessary
disturb. We are serving the pub
interest and safeguarding the pub
safety, but we are also regardful
the interest of those by whom the
great properties are owned and 81

total of which runs up to some ten or
eleven thousand millions, constitute a
vital part of the structure of credit,
and the unquestioned solidity Of that
structure must be maintained.
The Secretary of War and I easily
agree that, in view Of the many com
pick interests which must be safe
guarded and harmonized, as we'll as
because of his exceptional experience
and ability in this new field of gov
eminent action, the Honorable Viii
liam G. McAdoo was the right man to
assume direct administrative control
OF this new executive task. At our
| request, he consented to assume the
authorities and duties Of organizer
and director-general Of the new rail
way administration. He has assumed
those duties and his work is in active
| progress.
| 1t is probably too much to expect
that even under the unified railway
administration which will now be pos
sible sufficient economies can be eff
fected in the operation of the rail
ways to make it possible to add to
their equipment and extend their op-
eratlve facilities as much as the pres
emit extraordinary demands upon their
use will render desirable without re-
sorting to the national treasury fol-
the funds. If it is not possible, it will
OF course, be necessary to resort te

tlcal aspect of the matter. For the
