ESCH EXPLAINS HIS RAILWAY BILL AND
 WHAT IT PROVIDES
Says the Plumb Plan Has Been Examined and Government Ownership Is Not a
 Solution

WASHINGTON, Nov 21--Repre sentative Esch, Wisconsin, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commit tee, explained the bill framed by the committee to provide permanent rail way legislation, by saving:
 No new or strange features are il this bill. and it follows no untricd plan. We build on a foundation al ready proved to have been well laid retaining the advantages, such as joint use of terminals, that occurred during government control"
 MT Esch said all plans proposed to the committee had embodied expe riments, though all, excepting that of the railway brotherhoods. agreed on return to private operation.
 ''The Plumb plan was the only gov ertment ownership plan submitted and that called for employee opera. tion as we'll as government owner ship" Mir Esch said. Examination of it's proponents more firmly con. vinced the committee that the gov. ernment ownership was not and ought not to be the solution of the railroad plan. We came to the conclusion that the Plumb plan was impossible.'
 Restoration of railroad credit is q serious problem, Mir. Eseh declared. A guilty minority" by awful fin. ancing" had shaken the public's con- r;f h, Government financial aid during the period immediately following govern ment control. as planned by his committee will not cause loss of gov crnment funds MT. Esch said be cause rates must be such as to pro duce revenue for the carriers.
 The House plan of creating tribu- nals for voluntary adjustment of la bor disputes was mo panacea for la bor ills" Mir Esch said, but the fuliillment of wage contracts, both by carriers and employees, was so essential that provisions for collec- ton of damages for violations of con tracts had been included.
 MT. Esch also said that interstate commerce commission control over future capital issues of carriers. as proposed by the House bill would prevent repetition of the Shameful histories of the Pere Marquette, New Haven and other roads.
 Representative Sims. Tennessee, ranking Democratic committee mem ber.. declared his opposition to some of the provisions of the House bill.
 This is no permanent solution of the transportation problem" he said. "and do not believe there ever will be-"

SALVAGE COMPANY TO-
 RAISE ISLANDER AFTER
 SOPHIA IS RAISED
John N. Dawson Expresses Himself As Satisfied With the Work Accomplished This
 Season

Since the last of the workmen em ployed by the Deep Sea Salvage Com
 pany, shipped on the Alameda, tho local headquarters on Seward stree look deserted. M
 John N. Dawson, the Alaska repre sentative of the concern expressed himself as being satisfied with the seasons work. R s
 To a representative of The Elm pire he said: Since reaching the wreck of the Sophia the middle ot last May, the company has brought 86 bodies to Juneau to be, cared fol ct a cost of $21,O0O besides which the company has expended $30.00( here for supplies, $2S,000 of which was cash. In addition to this the company brought in effects estima ted at first. at $80.0O0, of which. perhaps $45,000 are negotiable. It is less than 90 days since the outfit arrived from Seattle with its two powerful steam tugs four big lifting barges and working and cooking scows.
 Before leaving the crews camp al Bridget's Cove, c. B. Dawson Sr., the president of the company, left the four big lifting barges with their i'm mense superstructure already for the cables and in the spring there will be practically nothing to do but place them as all the preparatory work has been reduced to minimum.
 The Deep Sea Salvage Company was incorporated year ago and the stock placed on the market last April. The company's greatest asset is the patented diving apparatus in vented by c. B. Dawson which, ac- cording to tho November issue of the Popular Mechanics, shows it to be possible to retrieve valuable ships long given up as totally lost. On page 659 Popular Mechanics says, referring to c. B. Dawson's inven- tion that Its most important part is large rotary rake for dig ding under the prov or stern of a sunken vessel so that cables can be slipped from one or both ends. The rake is fastened near the end of a pointed steel pile. which is used to moor lighter over the scene of operations. and is rcyoIved first in one direction and then the other by a cable which runs in groove around the edge of a circular base that holds the sharpened teeth. The ends of the cable are attached to two tugs which stoam alternately toward and from the wreck. A suction pump removes material loosened by the rake. This curious apparatus is di- rected from submarine cage. large enough to hold a man. which is sus- pended in convenient position. X powerful search light on the cage ilIulninates tho rake and it's sur 
 This is the invention that will be used to raise the Islander which the company will bring up immediately after the recovery of the Sophia.

Florida Fo.

No other state in the Union can
compete with Florida in the produc.

known to all engaged to any extent in
poultry culture In the state and has
oeen learned to their dismay by many
who have entered birds from Northern
yards in Florida poultry shows, while
our birds taken to shows even in
Georgia have left few premiums to
be awarded to others in the same
classes.
Visitors from other states who have
attempted our poultry shows who are
qualified to Judge have expressed as.
constituent on several occasions at
the size and quality Of the Florida
birds on exhibition. They rightfully
attribute this superiority to the eli.
mate, never excessively hot in sum.
mer nor very cold In winter, and to
the great variety of feeds we can
raise, besides the quantity of insect
life upon which the fowls can feast at
any season Of the year-but most of
them go no further than the superb
climate in assigning reasons.
Florida does not do her share in
poultry production. She should have
many times the number of domestic
fowls she has. The attention Of the
federal government has been turned
to the capacity of this state for poul.
try production and two representa-
t1ves of the Bureau Of Animal Indus.
