John J. Mitchell Favors
Cooperative Idea, Not
Government Control.

Heads of the great Middle West
railroad systems are divided over
the question OF what shall be done
with the railroads
Generally they oppose government
ownership. At the same time they
believe it would be a mistake to
turn the roads back to the owners
without enacting legislation pro-
viding for government safeguards.
Presidents and executives of prIn-
cipal Western roads decline to be
quoted directly on the subject, ex-
planning they are still connected

Four Sufs Who Burned
Presidents Speech Re-
fuse to Give Collateral.

Four members of the Nationai
Woman's Party spent last night in
the house OF detention, upon their re-
fusal to give collateral, after their ar
rest yesterday afternoon in front of
the White House, where they hac
burned the speech made by President
Wilson in accepting Roman citizen
ship. They are Miss Julia Emory,
OF Baltimore: Mrs. Annie Arneil, of
Wilmington, Del; Mrs. Phoebe Mum
nicke, of Detroit, and Miss Mary
Bubrow, of Passaic, N. J.
The police patrol which carried the
suffragists to jail also hauled the
''watchfire of freedom in the form
of a torch lighted by one of the
women from the embers of the fire
which the police had scattered. She
bore the torch on high as she was
hustled into the patrol wagon.
: It's Out Now.
The watchfire had been burning be-
fore the White House for four days.
and although 1t had been scattered
several times and its brazier had been
broken twice, each time one of the
women sentinels had lighted a torch
from 1t and thus preserved the con-
tinuity of the fire. Yesterday. how
ever, the torch went out at the police
station after smoking dismally against
the wall for a while.
The legislatures of Colorado and
Michigan have passed resolutions cali
ing upon the United States Senate for
the immediate passage OF the Federal
suffrage amendment. In Colorado the
vote was unanimous. The women hope
for the passage of similar resolutions
by all of the forty-one State legis-
latures now in session.
The women have planned to display
banner in honor of Joan of Arc be-
fore the White House today. The
trial OF the women now held prisoners
will take place at o'clock this morn

writes:
L. S. s. San Francisco,
Portland. England. Dec. Z, 1918.
Dear Father: Hello, dad! Well.
the censorship is off all letters and
!, I can tell you just where i am ana
just what I'm doing. Just now were
in port in the south of England on
the Channel. where we can go
ashore and enjoy life for a few days,
but we expected to reach the coast
of the States by New Year.
We came here from the northeast
part of Scotland and our whole force
steamed in column through the Dig
English naval rendezvous, Scapa
Flow. where the British Grand Fleet
is at anchor and all the ships taken
over from the Germans. We went
right through them and within hfty
yards of the noses of the SURRENDER
ed German ships as they lay az
anchor. There were fifty German
destroyers. ten battle cruisers. q
dozen battleships and twenty-five Oh
Germany's best cruisers.
The smoke coming from then
stacks hung down over the water hke
scared dogs tail and as though II
were ashamed. They are splenolo
ships. but any sailor man with just
one look could tell you what conditlon
they were in. They looked poverty
stricken for all the little things that
make life livable to a sailor on ship
board.

to England to arrange for the surren-
der of the German feet passed by nVe

Western and Middle West labor
leaders favor. almost without eN-
ception. government retention. both
of control and operation.
John J. Mitchell. banker and rail-
road director. favors the co-opera-
tive idea between the government
and the roads. He said:
The specific changes that Mr.. Nc
Adoo outlined as policies that should
be continued are highly desirable
but cannot be carried out without
new legislation. The government in
doing the things recited has ignored
the Sherman Act. and the railroads
il turned back to their owners, can
do none of the things Mr.. McAdoo
suggested unless Congress makes il
possible.
TT seems clear to me that the
railroads should be operated pri-
vately, but under some form of gov
ernment supervision which would
enable the latter to determine rates
and wages and at the same time
stand behind the proper amount OF
credit to place the railroads in the
position which Mr.. McAdoo sug-
gests."

COMMISSIONER FRALEY
SAYS ARDMORE WATER
SUPPLY Is ABUNDANT

In speaking of the water situation
in Ardmore. w. $. Fraley, water com
missioner of the city, authorizes the
statement that there is no occasion for
uneasiness upon the part of the CON
sumner. or fear that the supply Will run
short this season.
Mr.. Fraley said that there is fully
three feet more of water in the reser-
voir or lake, at the present time than
there was at this period last year. He
also says that conditions are much
more favorable in that the abundant
moisture in the ground from the eN-
cessive rains of earlier in the season
causes the vegetation TO grow and flour
ish without necessity of sprinkling, as
had to be done last year.
With the present supply of water,
Mr.. Fraley feels that there is no danger
of that supply reaching any where near
the danger line.
