Pryoides Return of Lines to
Owners IS Mo. After War Ends.
Fixes Compensation on Three
Year Average Basis.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The senate in
terstate commerce committee today
agreed upon the railroad control bill.
1t will be reported to the senate Mon
day.
The bill, as agreed upon contains
these provisions:
Limits the period of government
control to Is months after the close
of the war.
Gives rate making power to pres
dent with Interstate Commerce COM
mission as appeal court.
Fixes the compensation on the
three-year average earnings basis.
Permits president to turn back to
private owners any roads he decides
upon up to July 1 next
After July all roads under gov
ernment control will remain under
federal direction until they auto
matically pass back to their own
ers Is months after the close of the
war.
The language of the bill is modified
to give the president authority to deal
with short line roads and others to
which the three-year compensation
standard could not be fairly applied
Empowers President to Fix Rates.
The committee today voted to stand
by it's compromise on the rate f1Xlng
clause after Judge c. w. Anderson of
the interstate commerce commission,
one OF the Trainers u .ho "a
bill. had offered a substitute Whlch
gave the interstate commerce commls-
sion the right to view any rate order
nv the president and to recommend
any modification.
Anderson contended before the
committee that the president should
have the power on this matter to Fix
rates during the war emergency and
his substitute left the final power to
the president
Senators who characterized the
three year combination basis as being
too liberal waived their views when
the control was limited to the war
emergency
The committee has stricken from
/, the bill the section bringing rail en-
p1oyes under the federal workmen's S
compensation act. Under the bill
they have the right to sue the rail cor
poration for personal injury.

Ice Jam Below Cincinnati Holds
Back Waters.
No Relief in Sight; Many Streets
Down Town Flooded.

Cincinnati, Ohio. Feb. 2.-Cincin-
natl was given no definite hope of
flood relief today by weather officials,
who declared the situation uncertain.
The big gorges at Medoc Bar, six
teen miles below here, and at Sugar
Creek. just beyond that, are solid and
it will take additional water pressure
or thaw to break them.
Additional pressure will mean
higher water in Cincinnati
A drop of two-tenths of an inch
was noticed in the river stage during
the night. This however, does not
improve conditions, as a fall of several
feet will be needed to let the water
run out of the streets and houses in
the flood zone in Cincinnati and
suburbs.
There seems to be enough openings
in the gorges to permit seepage equal
to the inflow of the river and this
keeps the water practically at a stand
still.
Shipping worth millions is endan-
gered by ice on the Mississippi river,
according to advices received from
Memphis, Tenn. For distance of 800
miles. extending from Cairo, ILL.,, to
Natchez, Miss, the river is covered
with ice.

NO STATE COAL! !ISAW HIS SHADOW
Capitol Has Been Kept Warm
by Attorney General.
Efficiency Administration In
able To Supply Fuel.

State house offices and departments
were kept open during the recent cold
snap only because S. NJ. Brewster, at
torney general, found provision in
his contingent fund appropriation
which enabled him to buy coal for the
state heating plant. 1t was only be-
cause Brewster used nearly $500 from
his continent fund that the state house
remained open.
Reports from the heating plant to-
day were to the effect that the coal
supply was sufficient to operate the
plant only until 10 O'Clock Sunday
morning. efficiency in handling
the state prison coal mines failed to
provide fuel supply sufficient to keep
the state house warm. The legislature
did not provide an appropriation for
the heating plant. So Brewster bought
coal from his contingent fund.
Brewster Helped Others.
Brewster held he might buy coal to
keep his office warm. He sent the
coal to the heating plant And
Brewster who wanted to be entirely
unselfish, did not complain when 9TH
er departments opened their radiators
and kept their offices warm. Without
the use of the Brewster fund, it would
have been necessary to close the state
house or resort to the use of oil stoves;
And the supply OF several UoZch OiA
stoves which the state purchased more
than year ago seems difficult to
locate.
There is just enough coal to run
until 10 o'clock Sunday morning,
said Fred w Knapp. state auditor. in
conference with General Brewster
and Walter L. Payne. state treasurer.
'.If the penitentiary doesn't send us a
supply and Brewster doesn't use some
more money from his fund, I don't
know what we will do next week"
Brewster Hero of Hour.
In the bill providing a fund for con-
tingent purposes in Brewster's office.
there is a provision that the money
shall be spent for certain definite pur-
poses '-and such other matters as the
attorney general may deem neces-
sary." Coal, Brewster held, was ne
cessity during the cold snap. So he
ordered a shipment of coal for the
state heating plant and payments were
made by vouchers drawn on the con-
tingent fund. The state house re-
! mained open. But it was a contin-
gent fund, plus timely and very ef-
fective Interpretation of the statutes.

Bill Asks Power To Fix All
Prices Deemed Necessary.

Also To Include Pricing Farm
Implements and Leather.
III. C. L. Up so to IS Per Cent
Since War Broke Out.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The govern
ment plans to strike directly at high
retail prices, if congress will pass the
drastic food bill soon to be intro
duced in congress.
Following labor bureau statistics to-
day, showing living costs from SO to
rs per cent higher than when the
war broke out, it was learned the
new administration bill asks plenary
powers to fix prices on whatever
products are deemed necessary. 1t
promises direct relief to the, farmer
who has complained that fixing prices
on wheat has wrought injustice in
that other products for which he has
had to pay more than ever-farm
implements included-have not been
affected.
The measure, provisions of which
have been kept carefully secret is
aimed at retailers-the food admins
tration already having the wholesale
end fairly well in hand thru its gen
eral licensing system-it is officially
stated.
Guarantee Producers Profits.
At the same time, where it is nee
essary to guarantee producers fixed
profit to stimulate production, the ad-
ministration would be empowered to
establish original prices.
Power to fix prices on agricultural
implements and other commodities
necessary to food production and dis
tribution also was deemed certain to
be embodied in the measure
Leather is considered sure to be one
OF the by-products brought under
price control.
The administration is known to be
determined to apply the check to
rampant retail profiteering. This de-
termination was forecast by President
WILSON'S declaration before congress
that "the law of greed" had seemed to
nave already supplanted the "law of
