ROADS To REVERT
To THEIR OWNERS
ON MARCH | NEXT

WASHINGTON, D. c. Control
and operation of the nations rail-
roads, assumed by the government
as war measure two years ago,
last Friday, will revert to the own
ers of the railroad properties next
March J. unless congress by legis-
lation fixes an earlier date.
President Wilson, through a proc
lamation issued Wednesday night
fixing March 1 as the date of the
return, put at rest speculation as to
the time of the handing back of the
roads. The president, in his last
announcement regarding the return
made in an address to congress in
May, said he intended to turn back
the roads at the end of the present
year.
BY another proclamation, issued
with that in regard to the railroads.
the president ordered the dissolution
March l of the American Railway
Express company, which was formed
July 1, 1918, under government di-
rection by consolidation of the
Adams, American, Fargo and
Southern companies.
Extension by two months of the
announced time for return Of the
railroads was made, said a state
ment from the White House accom-
panying the proclamation, because
congress had not enacted legislation
to meet conditions incident to the
change in control and operation, The
president, the statement said, had
been advised neither the railroads
nor the express companies were
ready to manage their properties if
the plan to abandon government sup
ervision December 81 should be car
ried out.
Leaders in congress generally ex-
pressed approval of the presidents
action. Some members predicted en-
actment of the pending bill in some
form would enable a return prior to
March 1. The Esch-Cunnmtns bill,
now in conference between the SEN
ate and house for adjustment OF diff
ferences, would return the roads at
the end of the calendar month, in
which it was approved by the pres
ident.
Extension of the time before the
return, leaders said, would allow
congress more time to consider the
pending legislation and this fact, to-
gether with the prospective struggle
between the two houses over anti
strike and financial guarantee pro-
visions, some members said, might
work to prevent final enactment
during January. This would result
in the roads being turned back on
the date designated by the pres1-
dent

Husband and Wife Keep
Silent for Three Years

LONDON, England.-What Sir
Henry Duke, president of the divorce
court, terms the oldest separation
suit since the seventeenth century
has just been dismissed by the di-
vorce court.
In the suit Mrs. F. L. Hill sought
a separation from G. j. Hill on the
grounds of desertion based upon the
fact that he had not spoken to her
in three years. The evidence showed
that the couple lived in the same
house. Hill gave his wife $40 weekly
and she cooked his meals.
In January last she became i'll.
Hill called in a doctor, but Mrs.
Hill declined to have anything to do
with either of them. The court dis
missed the action on the ground that
there had been no complete break
ing off or abandonment of the wife
by the husband.
