OFFICIALS HOPE TO
SETTLE RAILROAD
DISPUTE
Eleven Presidents Meet in Washing.
ington-Eight Hours of Confer
ences Failed to Bring IMAM
imous Decision From
The Men.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Presidents
Of II of the largest railroads of the
East met in conference here today at
the request of Chairman Clark of the
interstate commerce commission to
settle, as it were, out Of court the
controversy arising from the request
of New England carriers for q
greater division of freight rates in
terchanged with trunk lines west of
the Hudson river.
Eight hours of conferences con-
tinuing throughout the day and into
the night brought no unanimous de-
cision from the II presidents and B
M. Robinson, president Of the Amer.
lean Short Line Railroad association
who met with them but it was said
that the executives with two excep-
tions were agreed that the New Eng
land roads must obtain additional
revenues or be forced into bank
ruptcy.
The executives are expected to con-
tinue their conferences tomorrow,
and tonight it was indicated that
there were prospects that the large
Eastern roads through their exec
utives would reach an agreement that
would relieve the interstate COM
merce commission of the task of
settling the controversy which is
now before it and on which hearings
were resumed today.
The executives were said to repre-
sent not only their own lines bat
all railroads holding membership in
the Association Of Railway Exec
utives. The decision in the controv-
ersy as to the division of freight
rates at the Hudson river, it also
was said, will affect practically every
road of any size in the country.
At the conferences today attention
was said to have been given to the
recent statement of Howard Elliott,
former president of the New Haven,
that should the New Haven carriers
fail to obtain additional revenues and
be forced into bankruptcy the entire
railroad structure of the country
might fall.
None of those attending the con-
ferences would name the two exec
utives who had held out against a
promise with the New England roads
but it was reported that President
Loree of the Delaware & Hudson
was adverse to granting any conces-
sions to the New England carriers.
Mr.. Loree was said to have held that
his road occupied position different
from that of the larger Eastern
lines.

ATHENS SUFFERS BIG
LOSS By FIRE TUES.
Georgia City Loses Largest Dry
Goods Store and Many Business
Houses-Michael Bros. Es.
tablishment, Bank and
Many Smaller Build
ings Burn.

Athens, Ga, Jan. 25.-Flre that
for time threatened the entire busi-
ness section of Athens early today
destroyed one city block and caused
heavy damage to buildings on ad-
joining squares. The property loss
was estimated at approximately S2,-
100000 by Selig Bernstein, president
of the Peoples Bank land himself
owner of a number of the buildings
destroyed. The losses are said to be
well covered by insurance.
Chief George McGorman, of the
Athens fire department was-the only
casualty reported. McGorman fell
from a ladder in fighting the blaze
and is in a local hospital today in a
serious condition.
The blaze centered between Gay
ton and Broad streets, two of the
main business streets of Athens. 1t
wiped out the block bounded by these
streets, Wall and Jackson streets,
jumping both Wall and Jackson
streets for a short distance in adj
joining blocks.
Fronting on Clayton street, be-
tween Wall and Jackson, is the de-
partment store of Max and Simon
Michael. They own the entire prop
erty bounded by Clayton, Wall, Broad
and Jackson streets, except for the
corner at Broad and Jackson. Their
department store including both
wholesale and retail stores is one of
the biggest in the south.
Directly across Wall street from
them, on Clayton street, is the Max
Joseph building, a three story struc-
ture, with basement and it was in
this building the fire broke out.
This building is occupied by the
Denny Motor Company, a small res
taurant fronting on Wall street and
several secret orders which used a
hall in the upper story, these includ-
ing the Masons, the Odd Fellows and
the Woodmen of the World.
The origin of the fire has not been
accurately determined but it is be-
lieved to have started in the restau-
rant, reaching quickly to the plant of
the motor company and igniting the
gasoline.
The Athens fire department, which
numbers about 1S men was soon on
the job but the fire ragged too fast for
them to control.
In response to an appeal for aid
Chief w. F. Cody of the Atlanta de-
partment, with some apparatus ar
ried here this morning but he found
the fire practically out.
Hundreds of persons struggled to
save their property from buildings
threatened by the flames and the
streets adjoining the fire area were
soon jammed with wagons, trucks
and even wheelbarrows loaded with
merchandise and furniture taken
from stores and Offices.
Adding to the confusion and diff
culties was weakened water pres
sure at the fire plugs but this soon
was overcome when extra facilities at
the reservoirs were brought into use
Finally, after more than five hours of
battling the fremen managed to
check the flames and hold them to
the buildings already practically de-
stroyed. It was daylight, however,
before the confagration was safely
under control.

Some Other Measures.

An invitation to attend the meet
ing of the State Bar association
Thursday and Friday afternoons was
accepted.
A resolution from the house set
ting forth that the low price of cot
ton and general financial depression
should warrant the reduction of the
cotton acreage and the planting of
more food crops and carrying the
view of the general assembly that it
was the sense of that body that the
acreage in cotton should be reduced
was concurred in by the senate.

FIGHT IN SENATE
ON TARIFF BILL
EMERGENCY MEAS
URE RUNS INTO SMALL BUT
EFFECTIVE FILIBUSTER, THE
SUCCESSFUL MOVEMENT BE-
ING LAUNCHED BY SENATOR
HARRISON, DEMOCRAT OF
MISSISSIPPI

MISSISSIPPI
Washington, Jan. 25.-The Ford
ney emergency tariff bill was
brought into the senate for consid-
Grafton today but Immediately ran
into a small but effective filibuster.
Merits of the bill and reasons for
it's early enactment by the senate
had scarcely been outlined by Sena-
tor McCumber, Republican, North
Dakota, before Senator Harrison,
Democrat, Mississippi, launched, an
attack which continued until ad-
journment.
The tactics in forcing delay in
consideration at this time were con-
sidered sound by opponents of the
bill inasmuch as the postofice ap-
preparation bill is scheduled for to-
morrow and several other money
supply bills are expected to be
ready when that measure is out of
the way.
Senator McCumber appealed Tor
action on the measure on the ground
that it would affect more than co.
100000 pepole. The government, he
said, owed to those people imme-
diate action. which will protect them
and save from absolute bankruptcy
some of the producers of farm COM
modities.s
"You want to make the farm at
tractive," he said. "You know how
as we'll as I do. 1t is to make farm Z
ing worthwhile. It's the glow of the
dough that is attractive and that's
why this measure should be passed
quickly"
Many Pay Bill
Senator Harrison in his address
charged that the North Dakota SEN
ator wanted "to save few people
by making the rest of the country
pay the bill" Such a tariff as was
asked on wheat, he said, could do
nothing but increase the price of
bread"
The Mississippi senator inquired
whether-in the recent campaign it
had not been one of the chief argu-
ments of the Republican party that
the cost of living should be lowered,
and referred again to what he said
the tariff would mean in living
costs. The bill, he said, was being
used to "hoodwink" the farmers,
and he asked the Republican side
where then only two senators were
esated, if it were not wrong ITO fool
YOUR constituents so soon after
election"
"Why," Senator Harrison said,
"possibly the senator's who want
this passed are sponsoring blue law
reforms. They ask tariff on tobac-
co."
Not From South
Senator McChnlbsr Informed
Senator Harrison the tobacco
amendment had come from a Demo-
crat, but Senator Simmons, Demo-
crat, North Carolina, interrupted to
say it was intended only to cover
the kind of tobacco grown in Con-
necticut. He added that he knew of
no grower of tobacco in the South
who ever had asked for tariff.
"Well, that places the thing now
where no. one wants to accept re-
sponsibility for some of the items,'
said Senator Harrison.
Senator McCumber then asked
that adjournment be taken and Mr.
Harrison walked out of the cham

Not Quite Ready.

Just before adjournment, shortly
before 2 o'clock Senator Laney NOV
ed that the senate meet Wednesday
at II o'clock. Senator Wightm& 4
moved to amend this by setting the
date for 8 O'Clock last night, holding
that large number of pending mat
ters could be threshed out during the
night. His amendment was lost by q
vote of 32 to 5 and the original
motion of Senator Laney that the
senate meet Wednesday at II o'clock
was carried.
Senators Duncan and Marion in
troduced a bill changing the mem
bership of the board of commission
ers for the Confederate home from
five to seven and placing four OF

SENATE ADOPTS
TAX RESOLUTION
EXTENDS TIME FOR THE PAY
MENT UNTIL APRIL FIRST
ONLY SMALL PENALTY MAY
BE NECESSARY FOR FREE
CONFERENCE TO SETTLE THE
QUESTIONING NIGHT SES-
SIONS WILL BE HELD

The senate's passage of Senator
Wells resolution extending the time
for paying taxes until April with
70 penalties except the l per cent
for January and its decided refusal
to begin night sessions las; night
were actions showing the sentiment
OF the upper bl:.nch of the general
assembly yesterday.
The resolution of the Edgefeld
senator again brought forth consid-
cradle discussion. but when the meas
ure came to oIe it was passed
and sent to the house by an over
whelming majority. The senators
present took the position that the
measure had passed second reading
Friday by a vote of II to IA and
should be sent to the house. The
vote on final passage of the reso-
luton was 80 for and against.
The measure as finally passed calls
for the extension of the time for pay
ing taxes until April l with l per
cent penalty and 7 per cent penalty
after April /. Senator Young's a.
mendment exempting municipalities
from the provision of the resolution,
but allowing any city or municipali-
ty to use it's discretion in the matter
was carried in the final resolution.
The house resolution has been
passed with a sliding scale of penal
ties for January, February and March
and it is likely that free conference
will be necessary before the two
houses can agree on the resolution.
This was one reason for the big
|'yea" vote in the senate yesterday.

STATE OF TRADE BETTER.

Jobbing business shows expan- sion. West and south report more doing. Latter section benefited by jump in cotton. Improve ment very general, however, though tone is still better than is actual business. Retail trade show as summers end ap- breaches. Industry slightly more active. Basic industries, notably iron, steel, coal and lumber, show a slightly better pace. Great upward surge in cotton and cotton goods unsettles latter market. Late crops, except cot ton send better reports. Wheat turning out better in some sec- tions. Bumper corn crop pos- sible. Large August failure total. Indecision in stock market. For eign exchange firmer. Big totals of labor displacement. Not all of this unemployment, though lat ter is serious. Four cities show reduction this week. Bindings of labor troubles helpful.

GOOD NEWS.

Indications are that harbor will be constructed iu the near future at Rocky Point, in the north west portion of St. Georges Bay, Gulf of California, about 100 miles north of Guaymas, Mexico, according to report made to the foreign trade depart ment of the San Francisco cham Der of commerce by Bartley F. Yost, American consul at Quay mas.
 A group of harbor experts, divers. underwriters and railroad construction engineers recently were sent to Rocky Point by the Tucson, Gila Bend & New Cor nelia railroad to report on the feasibility of constructing a safe and convenient tidewater termi- nal at that place, to serve as an outlet for the products of the copper mines of Arizona, accord ing to MT. Yost's report.
 The consul was informed that the point had many advantages for a harbor, including deep water, anchorage, a good beach, protection from storms and cur rents, and particularly it's near ness to the places where miner als are produced in Arizona. Rocky Point, MT. Yost reported is only 1O5 miles from Ajo, to which point the railroad is al ready constructed.
 High railroad freight rates on copper to the markets in the eastern part of the United States have induced Arizona copper producers to look for means ol shipping by water, it was said. --ExchanGe.

CATTLE. LOSS NOT so SEVERE

Despite predictions of a cal amity for cattlemen in this coun- ty during the spring, when Yavapai was threatened with & drouth, reports of ranchers and stockmen made recently to the Prescott forest office say that there was only slight percent age of loss in range animals due to the lack of grass and water. It has had been predicted that loss would run high this year, but the highest percentage so far reported has been on the ranges bordering the desert, where a loss is to be expected, approXimating 10 per cent. Many of the ranchers of this county report no loss at all. w. H. Goddard, supervisor of the Tonto national forest, has re- ported a loss in his district of from 10 to 15 per cent.-Prescott Courier.

The news that comes to Ari- zona that Los Angeles bankers have purchased one million dol lars dollars worth of state bonds, six per cent, is one of the great est interest to great many people through the state. Al. though there has been levied a current tax of more than six million dollars the money has not yet been paid in and as result state warrants are widely distributed through the banking and business houses of Arizona. In addition to this the educational system of the state is practically without resources and for several months teachers in public schools of many coun- ties are going to be forced to teach without receiving wages regularly. The sale of these bonds release immediately one million dollars to the treasury of the state and even that amount will do much toward the better ing of the financial condition of the state.
