The typographical conditions In

that they probably never will accom-

spending methods Of private manage
ment.
1T is evident that in view OF the
common interest some comprehensive
plan ought to be worked out.
The entire situation should be
dealt with from the standpoint OF the
general public Interest and the sell
fish interests Of any particular rail-
road company ought to be s,Ibordinat-
ed to the general interest. Yet under
private management there Is no way
whatever in which the public can
properly assert and accomplish its
needs and the result both in construc-

1T is estimated that there ought
to be spent IN the near future about
sf5 100000 in the rehabilitation OF
Cincinnati terminals so as to make
them equal to modern Public needs,
with probably $25.000,O00 additional
for passenger terminals. This involves
the building of a new bridge and the
reconstruction and enlargement OF

II am frank to say / do not be-

can possibly be accomplished If we
are to have in the future several

as we have had in the past, or even
a hundred, or even fifty different rail-

prefers to continue in existence the
hundreds of different railroad COM

will be necessary for the country to
abandon the hope of obtaining most
of the fundamental reforms which I
propose to point out.
"One Of the most dimcult and i'm
portant railroad problems in this
country is the problem of terminal
facilities. 1t probably means more
to the producing and consuming pub
lie in the matter of delays, incon-
venience and transportation burdens
than any other phase of transporta-
ton.
Generally speaking, the cities of
this country and the railroad traffic
that passes through them have
wholly outgrown the railroad ter.

many years ago without any concep-

There can be no successful solu.
ton of the railroad problem which
does not provide a solution for these
terminal difficulties. The greatest
opportunity to reduce railroad costs
FOR the future and to promote public
convenience in transportation for the
future will be found in the solution
Of these terminal problems"
McAdoo cited the situation at Gin
cinnati, which he said was in large
repeated ''in every impor-
tant terminal in the country, particu-
arly Chicago and the terminals
around New York harbor."
The Cincinanti situation, he said,

he most serious traffic situations in

Woman Kills Herself
Despite PatroIman

New York, Aug. 6,-Checkmatine
a policeman, who sought to prevent
her from committing suicide, Mrs
Sybil Boblitt, formerly of Memphis
Tenn, sent a bullet through her
brain in a Madison avenue Office
building Wednesday night.
The policeman was summoned by
Frank H. Goddard, a New York
salesman, who informed him that
the woman was about to commit
suicide in his office. Hurrying to
the Office. the policeman found her
sitting at a desk with a revolver
pressed to her temple.
The patrolman and the woman
gazed fixedly at each other for sew
eral minutes while he tried to in
duce her to lay down her weapon.
Finally, thinking she was off her
guard, he leaped toward her, bur
before he could reach her side, she
shot herself.
Goddard told the police he be-
lieved Mrs. Boblitt, who was a
widow, killed herself because she
felt he did not reciprocate her in
fatuation for him.
In her purse was found a card
bearing the inscription, Sister, Mrs.

Recognition of UItimatum
to Hungary Refused
by the Peace
Conference,

Paris, Aug. 6.-(Bv the Associated
Press. )-Nicholas Misu of the Rou-
manian peace delegation was sum
moned before the supreme council
today which gave him communica-
ton for his government, saying that
the Roumanian ultimatum to Hum
gary cannot be recognized by the
peace conference and calling upon
Roumanians to live up to the arnlis-
tice terms.
Misu said that the Roumanians
were taking back supplies which the
German field marshal, Won Macken-
sen, took from them, but his expla-
nation did not alter the decision of
the supreme council, which was
unanimous.
While the French hitherto ap-
parently were inclined to regard
Roumanian occupation of Budapest
favorably, it was evident at the
council meeting that they have
changed their position since seeing
the Roumanian ultimatum and are
now heartily in accord with the
American and British position which
the Italians have been supporting
consistently.
1t was made clear at the meeting
that Roumanian ambitions would cut
off the communications of Central
Europe and make it impossible to
feed large populations and also
would greatly interfere with repara-
tons,
