Illness Speech Here.
The following is Illness speech at
the Chamber of Commerce. in part:
Il would like to take advantage of this
opportunity to speak very briefly at the
outset of some of the policies of the rail-
road administration ! am II profound be-
lever in the advantage that comes from n
clear understanding between people whose
interests interlock in any way and / want
to let you know what l am trying to ac-
complish that in measuring what we do
you can at least have in mind the purposes
and intent with which the thing is under
taken.
First, it is my policy and purpose to
attempt. as far as possible. to restore rail-
road service to the sort of service which
was rendered before the war. During the
war everything had to give way to the
winning of the war and the convenience
of the individual shipper or passenger had
to be in many cases postponed to the
urgent necessities of the war | have felt
when the armistice was signed that Il COM
plete change came over the situation. The
things which up to that time had to be
done to win the in preference to doing
the things which the business man and the
citizen needed and had right to expect
for his comfort and success no longer
needed to be done in that way, and 1t
seemed to me the policy which the railroad
administration ought to pursue was one of
trying to restore pre-war conditions of
service as rapidly as possible. and have
preached that consistently to my associates
ever since
My belief is that substantial progress
has been made in that direction and that
measuring the service now with the service
say six months ago, the conditions are
more satisfactory to the individual shipper.
The Rate Question.
THE next matter I wanted to mention
briefly is the policy of the railroad admin
istration in the matter of rates. Under
the federal control act the president. thru
his deputy. the director general of rail-
roads. has the power to initiate -rates and
to put them into effect in advance of APP
prevail by the interstate commerce com
mission. That is very great power. Last
May. as war measure a general increase
in rates. both passenger and freight, thru
out the country was made very short
notice and without opportunity for any
general discussion of the subject in ad-
vance That was made as a war measure,
and like other things were done during
the war. it had to be done promptly and
decisively- But in that respect also have
felt that with the signing of the armistice
the conditions were entirely changed and
that we ought to approach any readjust-
ment of the rate structure in this country
with the greatest care and with an earnest
desire to avoid making mistakes which
would be prejudicia to the business of the
country or to the consumers of the country.
We in, YOU know readtust-
ment period for the railroads and for
everything else We have just gone thru
the greatest war in history. 1t has left its

Shortly after o'clock this morning

Taylor. near Sixth street, Elkwood'
was totally destroyed, and ten hogs
were burned to death. The pen con-
tanned eighteen porkers of different
sizes, but several of them were saved
Others were so badly burned that
they had to be killed.
Mr.. Taylor made fire in the
stove in the pen to heat feed for
the pigs and had gone into the
dwelling house when the fire started.
The flames spread rapidly and the
Citizen Fire Company responded
and saved the small buildings ad-
joining as well as the garage Of Linn
Nell. which was on fire but was
not destroyed.
The fire burned off the wires of
both the Bell and United Telephone
lines and the service was cut off for
several hours.

BOOZE DIES OUT
WITH NO TROUBLE
Not a Single Drunk Found in
Borough Streets; No
Arrests

Although the saloons were crowd
ed last evening by many desirous to
take their last nip not single drunk
was discovered in the streets. The
local police had expected at least
some trouble, but they happily were
disappointed.
The geratest place of activity last
evening was the wholesale liquor
store of Il. E. Smith, where hundreds
of men were gathered together when
the stock was sold off at auction.
Men left with bottles wrapped up,
some with bottles unwrapped, some
with bottles in baskets, some had
suit cases and grips, but all had the
stuff outside of themselves. none
could be discovered carrying too
much inside of themselves.
Liquors were sold generally at high
prices. Prices We're said to be high
er than they were selling at for the
last several weeks. in many cases
prices were doubled last evening-so
the reports say. The report could
not be verified because of the re-
porter's ignorance as a judge of the
stun.

wareroomy. The latter the hour the
larger the crowd. There were men
buying a few quarts of whisky who
explained in detail to others whom
they did not want to see that the
purchase was for medicinal pur-
poses"
Yes my wife always likes to have
a little in the house in case of sick
ness" was a stock phrase that would
be ringing yet in the ears of the
Wholesalers and their clerks because
of repetition, if they had had time
to listen to the remarks of their
purchasers The last minute rush
possibly was explained by the fact
that many men had the erroneous
idea that If they waited until late
they would not be noticed in the
shops or in the streets carrying their
bundles home.
Carry Quart Bottles
Hundreds of men purchased quart
bottles at the bars and when the
closing came sharp on the hour OF
midnight they were carried into the
street wrapped in all kinds of shapes.
The souvenir idea seemed to be cpl
demic and barooms lost many a
glass which the patrons wanted to
preserve as being the last" The
glasses soon found their way into
the streets where bits were picked
up by automobile tires. There were
large numbers of autobobiles filled
with men and women evidently tour
ing the central part of the city to
see what would happen.
Every hotel and saloon in the city
and county to-day had lifted its
license for July with the excep-
ton of the Lochiel and the Hershey
House. The big breweries were
still turning their wheels apparently
preparing to serve their customers
with the "a per cent, brew.
Expect Big Business
According TO statements from sew
eral prominent hotelmen, good
business is expected on beer alone.
For many months the profit on
whisky has been very small even at
the increased prices. Most OF the
hotelmen were glad to get out from
in under the big war taxes without
loss. The only doubt to-day is
that drinking men will not be drawn
into the barrooms if no intoxicants
may be had along with the beer.
Hotelmen who have claimed that the
saloon is the poor mans club"
have hopes that men will continue
to patronize because of the feeling
that they have no place else to so.
