OLIVE IS OPPOSING
VINSON FOR CONGRESS
PRESIDENT STATE SENATE AN
NOUNCES. FAVORS RESTOR-
ALTON RIGHTS OF CITIZEN.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-Sam l.. Olive an
nounces that he will be candidate
from the Tenth congressional district
for congress, opposing Hon. Carl
Vinson, who has represented the
Tenth district in congress for the past
six years, and who will be can
didate to succeed himself.
In his statement Mr.. Olive says
81 believe in the immediate and full
restoration of those great rights
which our forefathers secured with
their blood and treasure:
"The freedom of the press.
"The freedom of speech.
"The right to peaceable assemblage
of the people to petition their gov
eminent.
"These rights have suffered Sc
rious impairment and should be re-
gained and held by the people. Let
them go permanently, and the loss
of liberty will accompany them"
Universal compulsory military
service will be opposed by Mr.. Olive,
because it would tax the people to
the utmost to build up a great mill
tary establishment which would sure
ly produce war That he would OPP
pose compulsory military service on
the grounds it is too much like
Prussianism.
He opposes the league of nations,
because it would not benefit the
United States to surrender its SOW
ereignty to foreign tribunal. That
America is great enough and power
full enough to determine her own
conduct.

PASSENGERS KILLED
OR BURNED ALIVE
PATHETIC SCENES WITNESSED
WHILE VICTIMS SLOWLY
ROASTED TO DEATH.

Extremely distressful
and pathetic scenes were enacted in
the train wreck on the Oudh and
Rohilkhand railway east of Delhi
Saturday, when $50 passengers were
either killed or burned to death,
Only a few of the large number of
women and children on the trains es-
capped burning, while there were only
three survivors of three Hindu mar
riage parties.
AS a result of the collision the
gas installation caught fire and the
flames spread rapidly. The uninjur-
ed Indians Fled terror stricken to
the jungle. Those remaining watch
ed helplessly while the screaming vic
tins slowly roasted to death. The
medical arrangements aboard the
trains were totally inadequate to giva
necessary assistance.

WILSON TO FIGHT
KNOX PEACE PLAN
OPPOSED TO CONGRESS DECLAR-
ING WAR WITH GERMANY
AT AN END.

Observation-Disclosures Will
son is W. lnsfp nnosed to the Knox
peace resolutlo.-. the decla-
ration of war agailsu and
Austria. He is ready to jon. ssue
with the republicans over the Knox
plan in the coming national campaign
as we'll as to make the treaty of
Versailles and the league of nations
the main issue in the political cam
paign.
Party Lines Held.
The senate fight over the resolu-
ton will be conducted substantially
along strict party lines. The demo-
cratic members of the senate, with
the exception only of the few demo-
cratic senators who are opposed to
the league project, will speak and
vote against the Knox resolution.
The republicans generally will favor
the resolution, but there are some
who will not only vote
against the Knox plan, but intend to
contest every inch of the ground in
an effort to defeat the project.
While a majority vote is necessary
for the passage of the resolution,
and with the republicans in control,
there is a probability that such a
vote can be obtained in both branches
of congress, the president possesses
the veto power and will veto the
Knox resolution should congress send
it to the white house for approval.
1t would then require a two-thirds
vote to pass the resolution over the
presidential veto. No one in Wash
ington believes that two-thirds vote
can be mustered.

Man Executed Who Helped
Murder Gear for Shirt Rus
sian Ruler Wore.

PARASITIC man who con-
fessed to having assisted in the
murder of the car, Posrednit-
sky by name, was executed at
Warsaw on Saturday.
Before being led to death he
begged that his last request in
life be granted-that he be al
lowed to wear the shirt which
Nicholas wore when murdered.
1t was granted.
Those who have spoken at
length with the murdered believe
that he helped STAY the car
mainly because he wanted the

ASKS $l,Ol7,OOO,OOO
RAISE in RAIL RATES
INCREASE PROPOSED IN SOUTH
AND EAST 80 PER CENT. NO
RAISE IN PASSENGER FARES.

The nations railroads will need
an additional $1,017,000,000 to
bring their income to the per cent
basis guaranteed by the government.
Through the association of rail
way executives, the roads have pro-
posed to the interstate commerce com
mission that this sum be realized
sion today that this sum be realized
through increased freight charges,
leaving the passenger rates at the
present level
The Advances Proposed.
The advances in freight rates pro-
posed are:
Eastern roads-30.4 per cent to
yield an advance in all revenues of
21.1 per cent, or $544,000,000.
Southern roads-30.9 per cent to
provide 20.7 per cent larger reve-
nues.
Western roads-23.9 per cent to
advance all revenues IT per cent.
Presentation of the figures has
marked the formal opening of the
railroad rate case.
Drop in Net Income.
Net income of all the country's
railroads fell from $1,056, 100000 in
1916 to $51O,0O0,0OO last year, the
railroads claim, while their invest
ment has increased more than ST.
100000. These figures were Civ
en- to serve as basis from which the
commission could work in developing
a scale of rates to meet the govern
.ment guaranty.
An estimated valuation of $780,
.616, 100000 is placed on the trans
portation systems of the country.

HOUSE May ADOPT
The OLD CUSTOMS
SEPARATE DESKS FOR CON-
GRESSMEN IN WHICH THEY
STORED GARDEN SEED AND
PEANUTS ABOUT TO RETURN.

WASHINGTON. - Congress-that
is the house part of it's about to
get back to the old days when each
member had a separate desk where
he might conveniently store bags of
peanuts, garden seed, congressional
directories, or any other variety of
junk seeking a temporary lodging
place. There are no desks in the
house now, all having been removed
about ten years ago-just after the
last census, and when the member
ship of the house jumped to
ABS. Now there are only easy bot
tom chairs in the form of seats for
the members who come in hurriedly
to answer roll call or see what
their colleagues are doing. There is
no place handy for the garden seed,
which may be presented to a good
constituent, or a bag of peanuts to
be munched along during debate, or
the other accumulation of stuff
which formerly found its way to
these desks.
Would Revive Custom.
Champ Clark has begun a move
here for the old time seats and desks
where every member had a definite
place to sit and stay. He. said today
that when the new members are adj
mitted as a result of the present CEN
sus it will be necessary to rearrange
the house and he wants the old desks
restored.
There was formerly much rivalry
as to the choice of these seats, as
they were then drawn by lot. One Of
the pages, blindfolded, would draw
the names of the members from q
hat and if you were the first drawn
you got the best seat and if you were
the last you got the poorest-gener-
ally over in the Cherokee strip"
Frequently a member who did not
care where he sat, if he drew WELL
would give some prominent membeE
who had drawn poor seat his place
for the obligation that it put the in
fluential member under. There were
also cases where a member would
soon be leaving the house and would
trade off his good seat to some one
who was going to stay. A good seat
was considered big asset.
The Old Days.
That was before the days whei,
there was such thing as the house
office building and members either
had to sit in committee rooms, which
were all around the house chamber,
or rent rivate office rooms uptown.
Most of them, therefore, when nc
in committee rooms remained on the
floor of the house, which is not tho
case now.
When a member would leave the
house he had the privilege of taking
with him the metal plate with his
name on it, which graced his desk,
and some even went so far as to Sc
cure permission to use in their pri-
vate work at home the desks which
they had worked over while members
of the house.
No one seems to know just how
many new members of the house
there will be as result of the new
census, but one thing is certain-the
country has grown wonderfully,
whether it is the country or the city,
and accordingly there must be many
members of congress when the re-
turns are tabulated.
The restoration of the old desks,
which are now stored in one of the
sub-cellars at the capitol, will revive
many interesting memories of days
gone by.

To Explain How
 Gasoline is Made

Chicago, Sept. 1.-New ways of ob- taining gasoline, including the extrac- tion of it direct from natural gas will be described at the sixtieth gen. eral meeting of the American Chemi- cal Society opening here Sept. 6, 1t is announced.
 How more power can be obtained from the derivatives of petroleum forms one of the important subjecst of discussion. Dr. A. c. Fieldner, supervising chemist of the chemical section of the Pittsburg experiment station of the United States Bureau of Mines, and his associates, A. A. Straub and c. w Jones, have pre- pared an elaborate report on "Gaso- line Losses Due to Incomplete Com bustion in Motor Vehicles" It will be shown, the society reports, that the automobilist can get far more power out of a given quantity of gasoline than he has been accustom- ed to obtain.
 Another paper to be given in the fuel symposium describes how arti- ficial gas can be produced in larger quantities and at lower cost by en- riching it with natural gas in regions where that vapor is available. Util- ization of the large deposits of lig- mite in this country as substitute for coal will be discussed.
 In the cellulose symposium num- her of sneakers will discuss the pa- per famine and news prin tsituation and suggest methods by which pro- duction can be increased by conserv- ing wood pulp supplies and also by employing new tubssances in paper manufacture.
 Much time will be given to the discussion of the production of sugar in the division of sugar chemistry. A
 new source will be indicated by Charles A. Gamble in his paper en- titled, "The Sugar Industry of Peru"

Marsh explained that, to his mind, the subscription list indicated a plan to collect large campaign funds independently of the regular republican machinery. He said there were several organizations engaged in similar work and at the behest of Senator Kenyon he mentioned the National Young Mems Republican league, the Southern Protective Tar if association, the Committee of American Business men, the Ameri- can Defense society and the Repub- lican Publicity association.
 l As he mentioned each organization the witness submitted letter from it's headquarters which he said bore out his assertions. He protested that he did not consider the Young Mems league reprehensible in itself, that he thought the idea of such an or ganization was good one and that the democrats had one of their own and hoped to revive it.
 "But we financed our league through the national committee and whatever it collected was turned into the committee" he said.
 1 The American Defense society was similarly indorsed, but he added that it was spending money to help elect Harding and he thought that fact was pertinent to the inquiry. There was a discussion about the Southern Protective Tariff associa- tion. The letter submitted from this organization asked that $20,O0O be collected in Texas alone and nota- tions indicated that four democrats and eight republicans had already given $1,000 each to the association. MT. Marsh said any one contributing to a protective tariff association should be classed as republican and used the term "camouflaged demo. crats" in this connection.
 Senator Kenyon wanted to know if MT. Marsh thought the republicans had any reason to spend money in southern states and the latter retort- ed that he had heard the republicans expected to carry North Carolina and "on very hopeful days extended this hope to Texas"
 Senator Kenyon asked if the Lea que to Enforce Peace was not spend- ing considerable money in advocacy of the league of nations and whether the witness thought the democratic national committee ought to do that work instead.
 If you mean the organization of which William H. Taft is the head, l see no reason why we should un- dertake work that MT. Taft is doing so we'll for us," replied the demo- cratic official.

Not Use Freight Rate Subterfuge.
PORTLAND.-Fearing that the re-
cent increase in freight rates may be
used by some tradesmen as pretext
to advance commodity prices unrea-
sonably, Portland railway officials
have taken the tip from their eastern
headquarters to keep a check on price
charges which may be attributed to
higher freight rates. One of the
weapons of this plan will be publicity.
1t is said by railway men that deal
ers who may be inclined to profiteer-
ing will find the transportation peo-
pie are alert to the situation and will
keep the public informed as to what
share of any increased commodity
costs is properly chargeable to ad-
vances in freight tariffs, ranging from
20 to 33 1-3 per cent.
