 bNNDS IN YEAR McAdoo Urges Prompt Pas sage of Control Bill to
 Clear R. R. Finance. SHORT LINES NOT
 NEEDED NOT HELD Government Control Will Only Extend to Roads Needed in National Plans -Sccs Good From Admin iStration Already.

Washington, Jan. l9.-Director Gen eral McAdoo today explained to the senate interstate commerce committee the operation of government control of railroad, and urged speedy passage of the administration railroad bill by congress to clearify the financial situ- ation so sto permit floating of $lO,- 00,OOO,OO0 in bonds buy the govern ment before the end of the present of fiscal year. He also asserted that government operation would be exten- ded to canals and inland waterways in considered necessary. He spent more than two hours before the com mittea, during which he was freely questioned regarding necessity for government control and compensation of short line railroads. He will ap- pear again Monday, and probably will go before house committee later.
 Investigations are being made, the director general said, to determine what short line railroads are to be re- turned by the government. Those not taken over, he declared, will not be compensated, and if they suffer dam- ages, redress will have to be obtained in the courts. He said it was not pro. posed to keep control of any uneces. sary lines. He asserted some good had been accomplished in the three weeks of government control thru re- routing, distribution and coordination. Questioned regarding necessity for government control, Mir. McAdoo said it was made necessary by the railroads lack of facilities to hadnle increased war traffic. and their failure to prop erly coordinate. Disclaiming inten- tion to censure carriers, he said blame for not meeting the transportation situation rester upon them, because of failure to increase their facilities in 1916 and 1917.

SHUTDOWN ORDER ALREADY RELIEVES
 COAL SITUATION Homes and Ships Get Coal Railway Congestion
 Begins to Clear. NEW PROBLEM AS
 CARS ARE DELAYED Heavy Switching Work in Terminals Cuts Down Suppl, of Empties
 to Exemption
 List Grows.
Especial 10 The Gr1phic.)

Washington, Jan. l9.--A marked i'm provement in coal conditions was re- ported by the fuel administration to- night as result of the second days operation of the governments fuel re- strieton order. Houses were warmed, ships bunkered ano n the extreme East railway congestion was cleared to some extent. fuel administration of ficials said, after going through tele- graphic reports from 2S state fuel administrators. In the Middle West a heavy snow storm and zero tenn peratuies reduced rail movement sharply.
 The only important change in the Grder made today was ruling per- mittir2 all places of amusement to re- main open on Mondays and close Tues days instead. A large number of in- dustrial plants were added to the war end navy departments exemption list. but the names were not made public.
 Concentrate on Ships.
 special effort was made today to provide ships with bunker coal. and Fuel Administrator Garfield arranged with Chairman Hurley of the shipping board to pool tugs and barges in each Atlantic port to expedite the work. Pooling was suggested by A. II. Smith, assistant director general of rail- roads, who declared that some piers supplied with coal had no barges. and that others with no coal on hand were well supplied with barges.
 Reports from New York said coal was moving much more freely to the piers, and that it was question only of getting it aboard ships. Men will be kept hard at work all day tomor- TOW keeping the coal moving.
 New Danger Threatens.
 A new danger threatened the coal output today, as empty cars began to reach the chief btuminous mining regions in diminishing numbers. This was due, it was said, in part to delay attending diversion of coal from in- dustries closed to those permitted to run. Tn most big industrial centers switching work was almost doubled. and consequently there was cOnsid- erable confusion.
 Exemption List Grows.
 Despite efforts of the fuel admin istration to hold down the already large exemption list, it was found necessary today to extend it consid- erable. The war and navy depart ments found that to keep running plants for which exemption already had been obtained. many concerns supplying single parts and raw mate rials will have to remain in operation. The navy's problem arose particularly in connection with destrOyers. It was found that work on these would have to be halted unless plants furnishing many small parts also are exempted. To prevent unnecessary extension of the exemption list. both departments today assigned officers to collect from their various technical bureaus lists of plants vital to their building and supply program. One of th4 chief concerns of the army is 10 pre- vent delay to the aircraft program.

CIRCUS DAY.

What is there about a circus that thrills
the blood of healthy person What is
it that makes You restless aud stand up
on your toes when you hear the band
coming up the street plying that music
with a swing and vigor only heard in a
circus band ?, You say that circuses are
all alike, and when you have seen one
you have seen them all, but still you
walk fast-or even run-right in the heat
of the day in order not to miss one bit of
the fascinating street parade and then
when the caliope has passed, you will
rush to the return street and push several
children out of the way to see it all over
again. Why do you do it Think It over.
Then you will go to the show lust to
take the children or possibly because
your girl insisted on going and you did
not wish to displease her.
It's all right to alibi yourself, almost
everybody has done the same time and
time again. Does not the fash and glare
and glitter have a lot to do with your en-
thusiasm for circuses? Don't you like
the scintilating, brilliancy and gaudiness
of the ensemble. Sure you do. Let's all
be human when the Walter L. Main
Fashion Plate Shows are in St. Mary's,
May 4, and have good time.
Good circuses do not come often and they
are not expensive. So meet us in front
of the elephants when the Walter L.
Main Shows are in St. Mary's, Saturday,
May 4, and we will throw trouble to the
winds and peanuts to the elephants. -
