Jouett Shouse.

When Shouse resigned recently as
assistant secretary of the treasury, he
was taken into the management of the
Orient. Because of ShouSe'S official
position in Washington he was in
close touch with his chief, then secre-
tary of the treasury, McAdoo.
That Shouse because of his friend
ship with McAdoo had been able to
interest the latter in the completion
of the Orient, thereby greatly reduc-
ing the haul to the Pacific coast, was
the inference here, altho there was
absolutely nothing on which to base
the belief other than the mention of
their names together.
That their mission may have a fl
nancia1 angle was indicated by the
announcement that Jerome S. Hess.

agency of the Mexican government,
would also accompany the party FL
nance is one of the big problems that
must be solved before the road can be

President Obregon already has de-

to Laredo and held it there for some
time supposedly to take McAdoo to
Mexico City, but for some reason the

Railroads Deny Charges Made by Re

Railroads Deny Charges Made by Re
pairmen About Extravaganza.
The railroads of the country are in
dignantly denying the charges of the
repairmen that they have sent locomo
, tives out of their own plants to outside
factories for repairs, and committed
undue extravaganza in doing SO.
In d statement issued by Thomas
Dewitt CuyIer, chairman of the Assoc
citation of Railway Executives, the
presidents of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul. Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy, Chicago Northwestern and the
chairman of the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway company agree that on the
return of the railroads to private man
agement in March, 1920, there was an
abnormal number of locomotives and
cars in bad order and in necessity of
| imm ediatet repair: that it was impos-
sible to take care of all these repairs
within any reasonable length of time
in the company shops, and that at the
time the equipment was sent to out
side shops for repair, there was the
worst congestion of traffic in the his
tory of the country, and that the cost
of making the repairs in their own
shops was greater for the roads than
to send the locomotives and cars to the
shops in which they were built.
I'm the unexampled traffic conges-
ton in 1920 the railroads took steps
inal neglect not to have taken, for the
country's business was suffering great
losses" Cuyler says in the opening
paragraph of his statement
THE interstate commerce commits
sion is making a complete inquiry into
the reasons why the railroads sent cars
and locomotives to outside shops for
repairs, an inquiry which the rail-
roads welcome and will assist in every
/ way they can"
