W. C. R|TTENHOUSE
 FOR CO. SUPERVISOR

One of the important fea- lures of the Democratic Central Committees meeting in Flag staff last Thursday evening was the development of a real boom for a well-known West End man for county supervisor.
 For the past eight years Flag staff and Williams friends of w C. Rittenhouse have been trying to prevail upon him to announce himself for this inn portant office. Endowed with especial qualifications for the office-a business man in all the word implies, honest, we'll known, popular and hustler, his friends have long sought to gain his consent to make the race. It was not until last Thursday while in Flagstaff att tending the Central Committee meeting that, after being sur rounded by bunch of old time friends and acquaintances so- iciting him to become a candi- date, that he consented to do so.
 Bill" Rittenhouse as he. is best known, is one of the lead ing merchants of Williams, where he located about eleven years ago after having lived for a short time in Flagstaff. After the fire which destroyed a large part of the businessportion of Williams in 1906, MT. Kitten house opened up a small mer- cantile establishment and be- gan business in a very modest way. By close attention to business and the goodwill of a host of friends and acquaint- ances he has prospered to such an extent that today he is re- garded as one of Williams lead ing merchants.
 Bill was born in Missouri, but he couldn't help that. He went back there however in 1913 and married Miss Annie Lovlace but he can't be blamed for that either, when you know Mrs. Rittenhouse.
 If MT. Rittenhouse secures the nomination at the primary, he undoubtedly will be one of the next members of the board of supervisors.

CONGRESS STARTS
 TO SOLVE RIDDLE
 OF RAILROADS
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee Meets Thurs day; Rail Heads Attitude Is of Objecting

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Recom- mendation of Director General Me Adoo that government control of rail roads be continued to January, 1924, gave impetus today to congressional consideration of legislation looking to a solution of the railway problem and also was the subject of brief debate in the senate.
 The senate interstate commerce committee was called to meet next Thursday to discuss MT. McAdoo's let ter and other phases Of the general railroad subject, while the house com mittee will meet tomorrow with the expectation that the director generals recommendation will be taken up.
 Aside from the opposition voiced by Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, republi- can. on the floor of the senate today, many members, both republicans and democrats were said to have expressed disapproval of MT. McAdoo's proposal, but none of them spoke for publica- tion.
 Senator Kellogg charged that Mir. McAdoo really proposes a five year test looking to permanent government ownership of the carriers and added that if government control is extend ed for five years it would be impos- sible to return the roads back to priv ate ownership.
 Senator Smith of South Carolina, chairman of the senate commerce committee, declared that Mir. Me Adoo's proposal was merely a personal opinion, probably of unusual weight, but not conclusive upon congress, to which President Wilson has submitted the question.
 Senator Kellogg then asked how President Wilson's approval for the five year extension had been secured when the president, in his address to congress, had disclaimed having any judgment on handling the railroad question. Director General McAdoo explained today to callers his belief that it would be well to take the railroad question out of politics at this time, ever though it might become an issue 1T the 1920 campaign when a congress i' to be elected. He emphasized that |

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Secretary Daniels appearing before the house merchant marine committee today in behalf of the administration Dill Tor permanent government control of all radio communication, through ac- auisition by the navy department or all shore wireless stations, said:
 q hope the bill will not be con founded with a proposition for gen eraI government ownership of public utilities. Radio communication stands apart because the air cannot be con trolled, and the safe thing is that only one concern should control aA own it.
 Opposition to the measure was voiced by Representative Greene oi Massachusetts and Edmonds Of Penn sylyania, republicans, on the ground that it was part of a government ownership policy.
 Expenditure of s5,OOO,OOO will be necessary, Mir. Daniels said, 10 buy all stations and equipment not now owned by the government
 Tt was good business policy for either war or peace declared Secre- tary Daniels, referring to the pur- chases already made.
 Commander Hooper of the radio di- yision of the navy explained that the Marconi property was bought at the request of the shipping board. He said the Marconi company would op- pose the bill because of it's desire 10 retain its high power stations.
 Secretary Daniels told of some or the benefits of radio control in the war. He said that the alien property custodian. through one intercepteH message. obtained the information that led to the seizure of SlO,OOO,OOO worth of German owned ships ani that another message proved the enemy ownership of the Sayville sta tion. Germany, he said, also pre- pared to cut the cables between Europe and America and arrange ments were made for the radio taking | over all the work of the cables. An arrangement whereby all send ing keys for the nigh power stations at Annapolis, Sayville, Tuckerton and Brunswick. Ga, are operated from one room in the navy department, per | fected during the war and guarded heretofore as a military secret, was explained by Lieut.. J. C. Cooper oi the radio division.

 Secretary Daniels also told the committee that the recent purchase of shore radio stations had increased the number of naval shore stations from 5S to III.
