WARP F|ELD TALKS
 ON M 'ADOO'S PLAN
Says Position Has Not AL tered Since Previous State
 ment Was Issued

Baltimore, December 12.--(Special)-S. Davies warfield. president of the Ma tional Association of Owners of Railroad Securities, was asked what would be the position of the association in view of Director General Mckrioos letter to Congress asking that the time for the return of the railroads be extended for five years. Before leaving for Charles ton tonight Mir warfield said
 The position taken in respect to the return of the railroads has been recent ly announced in two statements in the press. Nothing in the present situation alters the course then determined upon so far as l can see. These statements were made after President Wilson's an- nCal message to the Congress leaving it to that body to work out the methods under which the railroads are to be re- turned and to enact such legisla ton as may be necessary as early as practicable.
 Tt was at that time we announced the names of the recently appointed advisory counsel to the associatton-ex- Senator Elihu Root. John G. Milburn, New York; John S. Miller Chicago; Hugh l.. Bond. Baltimore, and Forney John ston, Birmingham, Ala. The executive committee, in consultation with advisory counsel and also general counsel is now engaged in considering plans for the re- turn of the railroads As already stated letter was sent to the chairman of the interstate commerce committees of the Senate and of the House requesting that representatives of the association be heard in respect to the return of the railroads sSk soon as plans in connection therewit1s could be formulated.
 This association does not propose precipitate action. Every one realizes the importance of this subject and it
 is the purpose of the association prior to presenting any suggestions it may formulate to the Congress to consult with committees. organizations and others con cerned, including shippers. that unity of thought can be secured if possible. The federal control act provides 21 months for the return of these properties. There fore Congress, which is>after all the body that will settle this question, provided itself with abundant time to mature plans for their proper return under strict and comprehensive plans for government. al regulation. We have faith in the Congress that it will see that when the railroads are returned within the time specified by the federal control act il will be done under plans fair alike to the shipper and travelling public, labor and to the security owners and we have equal faith in the railroad administra- ton that they will give the Congress sufficient time for working them out.

where, and went to Kansas City, When he arrived at the appointed battleground Coburn did not show up, whereupon Hol- lywood declared that Mace was entitled to the stakes. Coburn at once protested and in this he was backed up by Harry Hill, the stakeholder Hill ruled that the referee had no license to name a battle-ground without the consent of both contestants and Hill returned the stake money to both puglists.
 Considerable discussion was created by the failure of the first two matches be- tween those men and another was ar ranged for side bet of 5000. Mace and Coburn agreed to fight on November 30, 1870 at Bay St. Louis, near New Orleans. The battle was fought in weather bitterly cold and with marrow chilling rain pour ing down.
 Mace drew first blood in the fourth round and was leading by a slight marsh on points until the ninth Then, ln striking a body blow, he injured his left hand. Between the 10th and 1lth rounds he became afflicted with chills and his condition became such that his friends advised him to quit rather than risk pneumonia. Coburn, in the meantime, was also suffering severely from the ter rife cold and at the end of the 12th round--a total elapsed time of 3 hours and IS minutes-the referee stopped the fight and declared it draw.
 That battle was the last that Joe Co., burn ever fought.
