HAS NO DEFINITE ENDING
Man Has Not Been Discovered Who Can Say Just Where Great White
 Way" Terminates.

The peregrinations of that far-famed street of the metropolis that 'goes galumphing downhin and up again to- ward the open, shaking itself as it goes, and tossing up huge piles of big apartments for the pure love of using surplus energy" have been noted by many observers. It begins at the ex- treme end of Manhattan island and said to be killing; to where it ends, this is what MT. J. B. Kerfoot says in his Broadway:
 They say 1t ends at Albany. Broad way occasionally lies low, like Brer Rabbit. But 1t never ends. Albany? Why, myself know a place In Mime sota where it crops out for a mile or so. And once landed on the beach of an Alaskan ford where, two weeks before, so I was assured by the old est inhabitant of the city I found there, nothing but untrodden tundra and des- olation were to be seen. At that mo- ment, however, there were more than 2,OOO inhabitants, living under canvas and dreaming gold dreams. The ho- tel, looking like a gospel tent, stood on a corner, displaying its sign; in front of it was lamp-post with half bruned candle In It's lantern. Under the lantern two box slats had been nailed crosswise. On one was paint ed Twenty-th1rd street, and on the other-Broadway.
 Albany? Nonsense! The last time l saw it Broadway was headed for the pole.-Youth's Companion.

ContinentaPs Dark Days,

In the first part of the Revolution the states were taxed to provide money for feeding the army, but later they were required to send the food itself instead of money. It was then that things were at the lowest ebb for the Continental armies.

Not for Charlotte,

Charlotte is the three-year-Old daugh- ter of College avenue resident. One of the recent warm evenings she re- moved her shoes and stockings and went over to the front porch of a neighbor to show her that she was barefooted. The neighbor said: ''You had better get on your shoes or you will catch your death of dampness." !" Charlotte immediately replied, "Oh, no. I have had it."-Indianapolis News.

LOOK FOR new
MEXICAN RULER
Politicians Expect Gen.
Obregon Will Defeat Car
rama In Election.

The report that Gen Benjamin Hhl
papers that Gen. Alvaro ObreEon will
be a candidate in opposition 10 rlt.~-
ident Carranza in the election sched-
uled for the fall of 1920 yesterday
brought once more to the front ru-
mors and counter rumors OF plans
having to do with Mexican affairs.
For weeks the report has been cur
rent in Washington that Gen. Obre-
gou, during his visit here two months
ago. discussed the Mexican situation
at length with Am. San officials aud
that he won the friendship of many
army officers. II is no
secret that the Army Intelligence
branch has been concerned in no
small way in gathering data on Mex
leo and friends of Obregon are in
the service of the intelligence section
Of the General Staff.
n any of the statements rela
t$Obregon's status in Washington
have been authenticated to such a
degree that in some quarters it is
held he has the tacit promise Of
powerful interests that. should he
make progress in establishing a gov
ernment in Mexico. he could depend
upon financial aid from Americans.
and that IL he should call for inter-
vention and cid from the United
States government, certain leaders
would do their utmost to bring Of
fetal action in his support.
These stories have been denied repeat
edly in official quarters. Men who
claim to be in touch with Obregon
have said that his private interests
were such that he could not be
tempted to leave private life. He
is making rich profits from the ex-
port of concentrated chicken feed
to Spain
The statement of Gen. Hill is
taken to indicate that Obregon has
been won to the belief that his
former chief, Carranza, cannot sus-
tain the present administration un-
til the elections of 1920, and that
Mexico faces chaos if strong coun-
ter revolutionary measures are not
taken

LINES OPERATED
AT VAST SAVING
U. S. Control Virtually
Saved Railroads, John
Barton Payne Asserts.

How vast economies in operation of
the nations railroads under Federal
control have been put into effect is
shown in a report made public yes
terday. The report deals with the
work during the last year of the
Railroad Administrations division of
law, headed by John Barton Payne.
1t is supplementary to former Direc-
tor General McAdoo's report.
The most striking feature of the
report is the fat declaration that un-
der private operation the railroads
would have sustained tremendous
loss in the first four months of 1913.
The fact that under government OPP
cation approximately s100,0Oo,0o0 loss
ssss sustained has been made the
nasis for attack on government con-
troll of the roads. The report de-
clares that under private ownership
the roads in this same period would
have lost 1916. 116, 533. The report says:
Last December 1917) the ex-
penses of the railroads were increas-
ing with great rapidity. They were
hedged about in their efforts to OBJ
tain increased rates by the numer-
Gus and various restrictions impos-
ed by the States, also by the limi-
tations imposed by the interstate
commerce act. They were confront
ed by imperative demands for great
Iy increased wages, and were with
out machinery to insure amicable
settlement of those demands. They
were finding it almost impossible to
borrow money on any terms to make
the improvements which were in
dispensable to enable them to per-
form their public service.
These adverse conditions, coupled
with the extreme difficulty of borrow
ing money. probably would have re-
suited in the failure of some of the
most important railroad companies III
the country to meet their obligations
under private management
Concerning the position the rail-
roads are now in as a result of gov
ernment control, the report adds:
Under Federal control the railroads
have the opportunity to contract with
the government for guaranteed M
como on a just basis. which relieves
them of the formidable anxieties
which confronted them in December
1917, and which would still be con-
fronting them under private control"

SESSION
TO OPEN May z
Tentative Date Set on Ac-
count of Hopeless jam
in Legislation.

May has been tentatively fixed as
the date upon which it probably will
be necessary for the extra session of
Congress TO convene. Legislation is
in such a hopeless jam that leaders
Of both parties. admit an extra ses-
sion cannot well be avoided.
If an extra session is called by the
President it will be difficult to fasten
the responsibility for it upon either
party. The Republicans. so far. have
done nothing to force an extra ses-
sion. which they might have done IL
legislative matters were not proceed
ing in a manner to please them;
while the Democrats have fallen
short of expectations in not forcing
legislation through in such a manner
that an extra session would not be
needed.
Only - Days Left.
Including today, there are only
thirty-twO legislative days left in
which to transact all the enormous
amount of business on the calendars
of the Senate and House, including
all the supply bills for the army and
navy and every other department of
the government Congress is forced
to adjourn on March 4 whether any
bills are passed or not.
Here is the situation which con-
fronts Congress in regard to the
big appropriation measures:
Six of the bills have passed the
House and are under consideration
by committee Of the Senate. as fol-
lows: District of Columbia appro-
bill. River and Harbor bill. Legisla-
tive appropriation BILL Diplomatic
and Consular appropriation bill. and
Indian appropriation bill. Not one
of these measures has been reported
to the Senate.
Seven of the other bills are still
in committees of the House, and
have to be reported by those COM
mittees and passed by the House be-
fore reaching the Senate. They are:
Navy appropriation bill, Army ap-
preparation bill, Agriculture appro-
priation bill. Military Academy ap-
preparation bill. Pension bill, Sundry
civil appropriation bill and the
FOrtifications bill.
Comes Up This Week.
The general deficiency bill. carry
ing something over 1895, 10000 was
reported to the House Saturday and
will be taken up this week.
From this statement it will be seen
tIat it would require almost super
IN energy on the part of both
houses to finish all the business and
get through by midnight of March 4.
The problem of caring for the sol
diers and sailors discharged from the
service is one that cornpels consider
able amount of attention. Senator
Kenyon. of Iowa, has a bill pending
in the Senate to spend a large sum
OF money on public work in order to
provide employment for those in
need. There are several bills also
pending to give extra pay to dis
charged men. One OF these, by Sena-
tor Vardaman, of Mississippi, pro-
poses to grant the men a bonus Of
six months pay, while other suggest
payment for three months and some
for one month.
