OVER 'SPLIT-UP'
Desperate Over Opposition in
Own Ranks, He Appeals J
to Washington.
DEMANDS NATIONAL AID

WASHINGTON, Oct Z. = Seemingly
made desperate by the reported opposi-
fion from Republican ranks, Senator
James E. Watson of Indiana has called
on Republican leaders of Washington to
prevent any further obstacles being put
IN his path.
The Senator's latest complaint and de-
mand, it is known, was directed to one
Of the leading Republican Senators, who
might also be classed as progressive -
Senator Watson, it was said, had been
angered because of opposition to his cleo
tion arising in Indiana and growing out
of friendships which the progressive
Republican Senator" had made in the
State.
WILL CONFINE SPEECH
TO HARDING's CANDIDACY.
The net result of the complaint is prob
ably that the progressive Senator will
make no speeches in Indiana.
II he goes into the state, he may ad-
vocate the election Of Senator Warren G.
Harding, but it is assured now that he
will not discuss WatsOns candidacy in
q manner to gain any votes for him
The story, which has gone the rounds
Of Washington recently and which 1t is
understood can be supported by letters,
is that the senatorial committee, which
Is endeaYoring to elect Republican can
dtdates for the Senate, one day addressed
9 letter to a progressive Republican Sem
mfor.
The letter stated that watson was hav-
4Eg a bad time in Indiana, that it seemed
he would be defeated and that If the tide
against him within the Republican party
could not be stOpped, the beating would
be in the nature OF landslide.
The letter then went ON, it is stated.
30 point out that Watson had told of
objections to his candidacy arising in a
certain element Of the Republican party
IN the State
In this element. It was said. there were
many friends OF the progressive Repub-
1ican Senator.
Il was added that Watson was com
planning about something" the progress
sive Republican had said about him.
Insofar as is known now, no answer

ever went back from the progressive Re-
publican Senator to the senatorial COM
mittee
The request, indirectly for Watson sup
port, fell on deaf ears.
The progressive Republican Senator
took the view that the success of any
one individual within the party was not
paramount; that rather the entire party
should be considered ana he could ao'
make any effort to assist Watson in his
effort to return 70 the Senate.
THE REPUBLICAN, SENATOR
is WORRRIED-NOT MUCH.
To be moee definite, the Senator
laughingly added to one of his friends
that "he would be greatly concerned II
Watson were dereated'
The manner In which he said 1t indi.
Gated that he was not losing any sleep
over Watson's difficulties and that he
would not turn a hand to assist the In.

Montgomery. June 25.-(SpeciaL )--Ask-
 ing for dissolution of a temporary in-
 Junction which prohibited the Southern
 Railway Company from being signed
 cars for coal for the roads consump-
 tion. arguments were presented to the
 United States court of Montgomery Fri day by attorneys for the Corona Coal
 Company and the railroad company. The
 case came to Montgomery from Birming-
 ham, because of the absence of Judge w.
 l. Grubb of the court in Birmingham.
 The arguments were heard by Judge Henry D. Clayton.
 The case originally came up in the
 Jefferson circuit court, but was trans ferred to the United States court by the railroad when the question regarding the power of the interstate commerce commission came up. The railroad is seeking to have the injunction dissolved. The railroad is alleged to have put into effect an order of the commission which assigned cars for coal. The coal com pany, alleging the act of Congress re- | lating to railroads does not permit as- l signment of cars, attacked the order, and 1 obtained a temporary injunction. Judge Clayton announced Friday after
 noon he had taken the case under ad- visement and would render decision at later date.

For the Good of
 the Community


 
 IN weekly periodical extensively read there have been two articles in which inland waterway transportation was treated to something less than faint praise
 It was particularly held forth that the rivers made a poor showing as traffic handlers during the war.
 Gen. Frank T. Hines, chief of transpor- tation service of the War Department, in his address at the annual convention of the Mississippi Valley Waterways Asso- citation, more than answered the criticism When the war came finland water ways were but ill-prepared to perform their proper role. Years of disuse had left us without any floating equipment to handle the freight that should have been diverted to our rivers and canals.
 The inland waterways had been criti- cised in the failure to do any great trans portation business during the war Gen. Hines gives the reason, an ample one.
 Gen. Hines sums up operations on the Mississippi-W Warrior thus:
 During the first year of the waterway operations, extending through 1918 and 1e19 the administration fleet (what there was of it) transported 109, ,218 tons of cargo on the Mississippi proper, while 124, ,648 tons were carried on the Warrior river"
 Alabamians, of course, note the great CT amount of freight transported on the Warrior in spite of lack of terminals.
 As to result of operations Gen. Hines says:
 ''In these operations combined deficit of over three quarters of million dollars was sustained; loss, however, which was relatively no greater than that sustained in railroad operations.
 Yet, Alabamians will again note, the railroads came to the war without having been put out of business for two decades and with the equipment that had been especially designed for railroad traffic and modernized and improved year after year ~s-s
 Then Hines further says:
 ''In fact, this deficit would in all prob ability not have existed had it been pos sible to secure deliveries of the equipment designed and contracted for
 This high authority makes two out standing claims for the Warrior
 First that the deficit in operations in the incompleted and unequipped stage of it's service as traffic bearer Wasno great CT than tl4at of completed and equipped railroad systems during the same period Second, that what was done with made quate equipment established that, with the proper and adequate equipment, there will be no deficit.
 It follows that the critics of inland waterway transportation, whose criticism was based on performance without equip ment, will soon be forced to revamp their deductions.
 It also follows that they will hesitate again to call attention to the deficit of an unequipped mode of transportation when simultaneous and equal deficit was piled up in the operation of completed and equipped mode of transportation. a The one thing that more than con- vinces Birmingham is the proof of the n11ddinor'' ir, tho crnat SavinoS in frniUht
