men without additional legislation by
Congress.
A statement authorized by Senator
Cummins last night said
Senator Cummins today received a
letter from Director General Hines. OF
the railroad administration, explaining
his views of the legal situation con
fronting the railroad management. Mr..
Hines was quoted recently as indicating
the opinion that additional legal au-
thority was needed to enable the rail-
road administration to deal with the
rate and wage questions before 1t. In
that interview he seemed to take the
position that action of Congress in re-
storing the rate control of the Inter :
state Commerce Commission was tanta :
mount to prohibiting any further in :
crcaseS of rates.
This. Mr.. Hines makes clear, is not
his position, and he never authorized
an interview committing him to it. He
was far from desire TO criticize any
thing Congress had done and agreed
that there is ample legal authority al
ready reposed in the railroad admins :
tration to deal with both the wage and
rate questions. In this regard, he en-
tircly agrees with the position taken by
Mr. Cummins, in his recent speech, and
with the position of the committee on
interstate commerce as outlined by Mr..
Cummins 4 letter to President Wilson.
However. Mr. Hines adds, he considered
that the issues were so big and i'm
portant to the country that he had felt
that Congress ought to be consulted in
adopting policy to deal with them.
"Mr. Cummins has received nothing
from the White House responsive to
his letter to the President, but assumes
that the presidential view will be fully
developed in the addresses of the Pres
ilent TO Congress tomorrow

river to the great building where the
charming mermaid was toiling. How
had she come to be shut up thcre-she
who had seemed 50 free as she sang on

beach?
"Teachcr. Teacher. Teacher.

turned back to where hundreds of other

will give them all holiday to celebrate

The Prince of Dollars steered the
auto toward a bridge which led across
the river to the mill. But when they
reached the river they found that the
storm had turned the stream into a
raging torrent and water was sweeping
high over the floor of the bridge They
could not pass.
Lightning was still flashing and the
thun Ter rolled and banged. 1t was the
widest night Peggy and Billy had ever
seen, and the raging river before them
made it seem all the wilder.
AS they looked in dismay ot the
angry waters there came particu-
larly angry flash of lightning, followed
sharply by terrific crash If thunder.
The jar shook the auto. ..T

Billy.

from the roof.

Not waiting a second the Prince of

about to stop, only to pick up again
at full strength. SO swish, swash,

and up on the bank beyond.
"Hoo! Hoo! ] told you true. You
drove through river; you must fight

the Prince of Dollars stopped the auto
