 "A message was received through an authoritative channel, stating to me that the president would not enter the room where we were, if Justice Co., halan was present.
 The members of the committee with spontaneous unanimity said they would leave rather than permit Justice Co., halan to leave. Then Justice Cohalan entered the circle of members discuss ing the matter said: The cause is big ger than any one man; bigger than am.

RAILROADS FACE ID FACE WITH PROBLEM
 IF QUICK FINANCE

WASHINGTON, Mar. 4.-Adjourn ment of congress without appropriat ing S750,000,00O for railroads, left the railroad administrations with practi- cally empty coffers, about $SS1,000, 900 back debts and no funds with which to finance the extensive program of improvement planned for this year, as a measure to take up slack in the materials and labor market. Imme diate relinquishment of the roads to private management loomed as a pos sibility, but officials said this would be done only if it finally appeared not feasible for the railroads to borrow privately the millions needed, or to have the war finance corporation eX- tend large loans to the companies.
 Director General Hines, after con ferences tonight with Secretary Glass and Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing di- rector of the war finance corporation made this statement:
 ''The railroad situation is so com plicated by this recent development and there are SO many possibilities that I cannot say at this time what will be done with the roads. It vii take a good deal of consideration be- fore a conclusion is reached"
 Several treasury officials in clost touch with financial conditions eX- pressed belief that the railroads coul( obtain loans privately to tide then over the next few months. althOugl perhaps at high interest rate. In thi' connection. a conference of leading bankers with the treasury and rail road administration officials was pro posed.
 Few Millions Left

We are willing to take the respon- sibility," said Senator sherman of Illi- nois, republican, in a reply to the pres ident's statement If the constitution of the league of nations is the result of his attendance at the Paris conference, and the administration of railroads ii the result of his constant attendance upon congress, both Paris and Wash ington will he better off without him. He is a superfluous luxury anyhow"
