RAILWAY COMPANIES
MUST PROVIDE GOOD
CARS FOR SHIPMENT!

Bismarck, N. D., March 4.-(Spe-
cial )-In response to vigorous pro-
test from the North Dakota railway
commission against an order of tn
federal administration holding that
when shipper accepted for the
transportation of wheat or other
grain car which developed leak
enroute, he must stand any loss of
grain en- transit, the federal admin
istrator has issued supplementary
order in which railway companies are
required to furnish shippers good,
sound cars, or to- become responsible
for any loss of grain which may re-
suit from their negligence. Early
last fall hundreds of cotton cars,
thru which one could have driven an
OK team, were sent to North Dakota
to be loaded with wheat and flax.
while the ,flax-tight cars which had
been used in grain transportation
here were sent south to handle cot
ton and other. bulky commodities.
The shippers were forced to accept
these cars because there were none
other available, and when an order
was issued requiring them to stand
for any loss Of grain en- transit there
was a very vigorous and general pro-
test which reached the ear Of official
dom at Washington. 5.8 Z

for their approval or rejection on a
petition Of 1000 names. The at
tempt to secure the emergency clause
which would put the bill into i'm
mediate effect, was tried for three
times, but each time enough members
refused to stand for this kind of leg
islation. j..
Saturday evening there was a long
discussion by house members Of the
bill and Johnson of Steele county
made the motion to reconsider SEN
ate Bill 157. The object of this mo-
ton was declared to be simply to all
low the bill third trial to secure
the emergency clause, which the
house had twice voted down, and j.
F. T. O'Connor declared that the mo-
ton was intended to begin at once
the elimination of the independent
press of the state. Burtness declar-
ed that the motion was not made in
good faith in order to amend or kill
the bill, but for another trial to put
on the emergency clause.
Several members, who had voted
for the emergency clause on former
roll calls, refused to bring the bill
back for another trial, stating that
1t had had fair chance and they
were not in favor of taking It up
again. Mr.. Harris, one Of the league
members, said he was from dis
trict where there was a new county
and new towns and the newspaper
men had been induced to come in.
and establish papers by business men
OF the towns, to assist them In boost
ing the country. Few of the mer
came there of their own choice. The
bill to concentrate all the legal pat
ronage on one paper would eliminate
most of the others. The final vote
was 64 to 80. An amendment made
by the house to substitute the chair
man of the board of railroad COM
missioners for Commissioners Of uni
versity and school lands, as a MEM
Der of the printing and publication

WILSON SETS SAIL
ON RETURN VOYAGE
TO PEACE MEETING
Executives Departure Is
Marked by Simplicity
Transport Leaves Bright
and Early.

Wilson sailed today on his second
voyage to France determined, as he
said in his Metropolitan Opera House
speech last night, mot to come back
until it's over over there" The
transport George Washington bear
ing the presidential party left Ho-
boken, New Jersey, pier at 7.15 am.
The chief executives departure
was marked by simplicity, which
contrasted with the noisy demonstra-
ton given him when the George
Washington carried Mr.. Wilson from
American waters on the first journey
to Paris last December. Today there
was only a small crowd of persons
assembled at the army transport
pier. To these the president, hat In
hand, and Mrs. Wilson waved fare
well greeting as the George Wash
ington swung out into the lower Hud-
son, while the band on the transport
Great Northern, berthel nearby,
played "The Star spangled Banner. F"
Standing on the bridge, the presi-
dent and his wife saw the Stars and
Stripes raised on the staff at the
stern and heard the booming of the
presidential salute Of twenty-one
guns. AS the Transport turned moss
toward the Statue of Liberty an es-
cort of destroyers got under way
ahead,
The president and Mrs. Wilson had
ascended the bridge soon after 8
o'clock. Mr.. Wilson had been up
about the deck for nearly two hours,
having been the first of the presi-
Dental party to appear. Most of the
others were asleep when the trans
port sailed.
Just as the George Washington
was about to sail it was discovered
that some one had neglected to bring
on the morning papers. The lines
had been made fast to the gang
q
plank, which was about to be drawn
in, when the presidents orderly,
T with dollar bill in hand. rushed
across the plank onto the pier and
hurried through the flag-decorated
archway to a newsstand. where he
purchased the papers and came run
ming back to the ship. This incident
delayed for a few minutes the yes
cells departure.
Owing to the harbor strike, no pri-
vate tugs were available to tow the
George Washington into the river.
Two army transport tugs were pres
ent, but the ship got under way with
out their aid:
