RAILROADSARE
FINALLY FREE
Period of Government Guarantee
Under Transportation Act
Ended at Midnight.
(Rx Associated Press J

Washington, Aug. 31.-Estimated to
have cost the government one hundred
million dollars monthly for the past
six months, the clause of the trans
portation act which guarantees eIrn-
ings to railroads of the country ceases
to be effective a midnight tonight
and the roads again will be on their
own resources. Further loans from
the government however, will be avail
able from the revolving fund created
by the act.
Definite information as to the cost
to the government of the earnings
guarantee provision probably will not
be known for several months as the
various railroads face a considera BILE
task in balancing their books in order
to give detailed operation figures
The bureau of railway economics
however. has estimated that since the
carriers were returned to their own
ers on March l their earnings have
been six hundred million dollars below
their standard return.
Most railroads have certified to the
interstate commerce commission and
treasury that they have incurred de-
ficits during the six months period
and have asked for advances under the
guarantee clause, pending final report
as to their losses. Roads must make
application for advances before mid
night tonight, otherwise they must
wait the final compilation Of the sums
owed them by the government.

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
Palafox Wharf Sailors Discuss
Every Move of Boats and
Offer Expert Advice.
Official Time
(By Lucky Baldwin,

Fleet Captain James C. Watson
sailed the Scamp to victory over Capt.
Adrian Langford in the Snapper, and
Capt. A. C. Binkley in the Popeye,
rounding the long course in the
speedy time of l hour minutes, Is
seconds. The Snapper crossed the fin
ish line minutes. seconds later, and
the Poreye was l minute. 40 seconds
behind the Snapper.
Capt. Langford was first across the
starting line, followed by Capt. Blink
ley and Capt Watson in order All
rae shippers held their boats on the
port tack down along the north shore
towards the G. F. & A. piers. The
Scamp was first about and footed fast
across the bay on the starboard tack
toward the red beacon. Capt. Lang
ford followed the Scamp about 100
yards astern The POpeye held up
80 to the pier but on coming about
Capt. Binkley luf1ed and was several
minutes getting his sails to fill.
Once clear of the shore, all three
oats sailed well and at times were
.oeled over before the fresh breeze
which came out of the southwest.
None of the shippers were able to
make the buoy on this tack, however
apt. Watson crossed the bows Of
both contenders when he came about
and turned the first buoy a minute
ahead. Capt. Langford was second.
From the beacon to the second buoy
off the old marine railway it was a fair
N with the wind astern. The Scamp
out-sailed the Popeye and Snapper on
this leg and turned a last buoy a min
and half ahead Of the Snapper.
In the meantime the wind had shift
ed toward the west and Cap Watson
took full advantage of the change to
old the boat well up toward the stake
buoy. The other shippers sailed with
slack sheets and lost time.
Judge yesterday were Commodore
Cross, Capt. H. S. Merwin and Capt.
Dan Sheppard.
Capt. Watson had as his crew w.
A. Dunham and Lathrop. Witherell;
Capt. Langford's sailing mates were
John Engstrom and Harry Lurton:
Capt. Binkley was accompanied by
w. A. Leonard and w. F. Lee.
Frank Wells has almost decided to
build a grand stand on the end of
Palafox wharf. where all the experts
gather every race afternoon. Some
clubs have rocking chairs for this
bunch and call them rocking chair
shippers. but Palafox wharf doesn't
boast such stage properties. In spite
of this, however, the bunch is on the
job every afternoon and woe betide
the skipper who makes a mistake.
Every move is watched with keen
eyes and much expert advice goes to
waste because the skippHrs can't get
it. Interest in the races is high. Sew
eral business houses in the lower part
of town suspend operations during
the races and at least one gasoline
company never sells any gas while
the boats are out.

has been caught in his own trap is
evident
Governor Cox again referred to what
purported to be an official document
issued by the Republican committee
to prove his assertion. The document
referred TO by the governor is alleged
to have been issued two days after
Senator Harding's nomination at Chi
cago by Treasurer Upham.
The document, Governor Cox said

lating to money raising with them.

and it should be kept there intensiveIy
until election day. he added.
