AM. EX. CO. SEEKING
CANCELLATION OF
SHORT HAUL ORDER

Columbia, May 17.-The Ameri'
can Railway Express company has
requested the South Carolina Rail-
road commission to annul its recent
order requiring the two express com
panies to handle freight for each
other, so that express shipments can
be handled over the shortest route
between points served by both COM
panies. The commission has set
June / date for a hearing in the
matter, the American company hav.
ing requested hearing.
The American company inserted a
clause in it's tariff, following the for
nation of the new Southeastern
company, to take the effect that
freight must be handled, between
points served by both companies, en-
tirely over the lines of the company
receiving the freight. The railroad
commission took the position that in
many cases this would necessitate a
long, roundabout journey, and so
an order was issued ten days ago,
requiring the companies to use the
shortest routing between two points
reached by both companies and to
charge a through rate. The Ameri-
can company has complied with the
temporary order, but has asked that
it be annulled.
The outcome of the situation will
depend on testimony taken at the
June /, hearing.

MANNING BECOMES
NEW YORK BISHOP

New York, May 12.-The Rev.
William T. Manning, D. D., rector of
historic Trinity church today was
consecrated tenth bishop of the Pro-
testant Epicopal Diocese of New
York and outlined his stand as sue
cessor to tke late Bishop Charles
Sumner Burch.
In the morning, before an assem-
blage of prelates from all parts of
the land, he was elevated to his new
station with cordial ceremony in
the cathedral of St. John the d.
vine, and late today at the 136th an
nual convention of the New York d.
ocese delivered his first address Of
assuming the bishopric.
Outlining the church's attitude to-
ward industrial and social problems
the new bishop said the church must
be "not a mere ympathetic onlook-
er but great loving influence and
power"
"But the church must include all
within her sympathy" he continued,
"to all alike. She must sy1npathize
with the problems of the Ia borer and
the wage Garner but she MUST recog-
nize also the problems Of the capi-
talist and the employer, and she
must call upon all equally for hon
esty, for right dealing, for the spirit
of good will and brotherhood.
Wherever there is proved wrong
and injustice the church of course,
may and must, speak. But the
church not commissioned nor en-
dowed with special wisdom to pro-
nounce upon specific political and
economic programs,

WILLARD GIVES
CHEERFUL VIEW
Has Hope for Railway Future-Fac
ing Crisis Now-In Spite of the
"Hard Times" Baltimore &
Ohio President Speaks
Optimistically.

Washington, May 17-Private own
ership of railroads in the United
States can not continue if railroad
operating costs, when fair return on
capital is considered, continue to ex-
ceed revenues, Daniel Willard, pres
ident of the Baltimore & Ohio, tes-
titled today before a senate investi-
eating committee.
At the same time Mr.. Willard said
the railroad situation in so far as
depression and lack of earnings was
concerned differed "only in degree"
from that being encountered in
other industries. General economic
conditions and the difficulties encoun
tered in federal war time operation
of the carriers, he added, were, in his
opinion, largely responsible for pres
ent difficulties and he expressed
confidence that private ownership
would justify itself financially and
work out under present law and gov
ernment policy.
Chairman Cummins of the senate
committee previously had expressed
the opinion that the railroads can
not last" if 1920 returns from opera
tions are to continue, an opinion
agreed in by julius Kruttschnitt,
chairman of the Southern Pacific
board, the first witness. heard. The
latter was temporarily excused, while
Mr.. Willard, whose testimony was
left unfinished at the days adjourn
ment, took the stand.
The Baltimore & Ohio chief, al
though remarking upon the unfavor-
able returns from present railroad
operation, said the government pol
icy of insuring 5 1-2 per cent re-
turn had given investors confidence
m the ultimate outcome" of opera
tions. He defended vigorously the
increased freight rates now in eff
feet, citing. statistics on compara-
tive costs of moving wheat from Ar
gentina and from Kansas to New
York.
Federal operation had resulted in
turning back 40 per cent. of the
freight rolling stock in bad order, he
said, due to, under maintenance or
ders, which were necessitated dur
ing the war, but continued there
after. The allowable percentage Of
bad order cars should be about 4 per
cent, he explained.
Statistically Mr. Willard undertook
to show, that private operation dur
ing the last nine months of 1920 and
down to date had justified itself by
the expeditions movement of record
breaking quantities of freight. He
had not touched the subject of wage
costs when the session adjourned,
but this is expected to bulk largely
in further examination.
Frank P. Walsh, attorney and W..
J. Lauck, statistician, were formerly
entered on the committee lists to-
day as representatives to be heard
for the railroad unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.

WILSON AND HARVEY
Their Last Interview Nearly Seven
Years Ago.

cuCe III GiiS OOSIOu 11ohSSAiPt./
According to some New York
friends who have recently been en-
tertained at dinner by the ex-Presi-
dent. DIR. Wilson told the story of
the last conversation he ever had
with Harvey. It took place in the
White House the last Sunday in Oc-
tober, 1914, just before the Con-
gressional elections. Harvey, to the
surprise of the Democrats and in
particular of the White House,
printed an article entitled, "Stand by
President Wilson," In this article
he urged the necessity of the Demo-
Gratis holding the next House. The
President felt that the least he could
do, Notwithstanding his quarrel with
Col. Harvey, was to invite that gen.
tleman to call at the White House
at o'clock the following Sunday.
Harvey said at he time that an invi-
tation from the President of the
United States to visit the White
House must be regarded as COM
.mand by any true American. He
kept his engagement to the minute
and as he greeted the President the
situation was slightly embarrassing.
Probably both of them were think
ing of the last meeting they had at
the Manhattan Club, New York,
when Mars Henry Watterson was
present. That was when Mr.. Wilson
asked Col. Harvey not to give him
any further support in his publica-
tions. The quick mind of Harvey is
always ready for any emergency,
and noting the Presidents hesita-
ton, he remarked: "Mr. President,
you would be surprised if you were
aware of the few men who seem to
know anything about the characters
of Mark Twain"
"You surprise me-" said President
Wilson.
81 was surprised myself" return
ed Col. Harvey. "While hanging
around the Willard Hotel this morn
ing to keep this engagement which
you solicited, I made a number of &C.
quaintances, and IN order to kill
time more than anything else, I ask
ed each person what was his favorite
character in Mark Twain's books.
The first four or five could remem-
ber the name of any character. To
others to whom I put the question /
first repeated the names of Tom
Sawyer, Col. Sellers, Huckleberry
Finn, and others, and like the other
people I had already interviewed,
they knew almost nothing about
the characters of Mr.. Clemens.
Finally I accosted man who look
ed like Southern gentleman, in ap-
pearance and dress. I named those
characters to him. He had never
even heard of them. I was about to
give up in disgust when I asked him
if he had ever heard of Puddin' head
Wilson.
eyes," replied the man, 81 know
all about him. He has kept me here
for two years waiting for an office
until I am broke"
President Wilson's laugh was
spontaneous and hearty and there
were no further embarrassments to
the conversation.
