PRESIDENT SMALL

Portland, Me-, Sept. 13.-John H.
Small. of North Carolina. president of
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, reviewed the efforts made
to bring about development of the
waterways along the Atlantic sea-
board at the convention of the At
lantic Deeper Waterways Association
today. He said one of the great
needs when the system of canals has
been completed, would be a system of
pro rating between the ships and
railroads, like that which now exists
between the different rail systems.
He expressed the opinion that the
Interstate Commerce Commission had
been negligent in this respect. THE
shippers" he said should inform the
members of that commission that
they are the servants of the people
and that they should establish the
pro rata tariffs between ships and
railroads"

BOSTON BLAZE
HOLDS UP 100000
BOUND FOR HOME

Boston, Sept 13-Commuters to
points north of Boston to the num-
Der OF 100000 We're delayed three
hours and more on their homeward
journey and several hundred passen-
gers in a six car elevated train were
badly frightened tonight when fire
broke out in cable on the Wash
ington street North bridge leading to
Charlestown.
The congestion resulting from the
tieup of the trains was so heavy in
the vicinity of North Station that
fire apparatus was unable to pene-
trate the streets, damned with
thousands of trucks and automobiles
interspersed with pedestrians and was
brought to halt for several min
utcs.
A six car train was just climbing
the grade from Causeway street to
the bridge when flames rolled up two
hundred feet ahead. The motorman
brought the train to halt, and be-
fore the passengers could realize what
was happening they were listening
to impromptu speeches from three
elevated guards. While burning cable
and woodwork fell to the street and
the flames made their way slowly to-
ward the train, the passengers re-
manned quiet and calm until firemen
arrived.
About 1000 passengers of two
trains on the city side of the bridge
were locked in their train for more
than an hour and when released had
to walk back over the elevated struc-
ture to the North Station platform.
The fire gained some Roadway on
the wooden elevated Platform struc-
ture because Fire Chief Riley refused
to let his men turn on the water I'M
til he had been assured that the pow
err had been shut off from the third
rail-
Running rails which were warped
by the fire were replaced by emer-
gency forces as soon as the fire had
been extinguished and the first train
moved over the scene of the fire two
hours and 35 minutes after the tieup
began.
Surface cars recruited from all
parts OF the system assisted in the
work of relieving the congestion, but
IL was several hours before all the
commuters were again homeward
bound.

The track was slightly heavy with
few soft spots. A. H. Merrill OF

600 people were here. Every heat
was thriller with two of them so
close that the crowd wasn't sure
which horse won until the announce
ment was made from the stand. In
the pools the horses sold at about ev-
Ell in the auctions, Braden having the
best call in the Parish mutuals. The
first heat was the fastest clockng

Jackson Grattan second and Braden
outside. Roy Grattan hit up a fast
pace at the start with Braden on his
wheel to the head of the home stretch
when it was terrific drive to the
wire, Braden outracing Grattan in the
last few strides and winning by a
scant neck. In the End heat the
| horses got away on the first try and
took it easy to the stretch when there
was another terrific drive with all
three drivers using their whips. II
looked like dead heat but the

the better in an eyelash finish. Time

The third heat was thriller mark
ed by sensational drive by Jackson

TARIFF CONFEREES
TOLD TO CUT OUT
DUTY ON POTASH

Washington, Sept. 13.-Revolting
against the action of the conferees in
writing back into the administration
tariff bill a dye embargo licensing pro-
vision and duty on potash, the House
late today sent that measure back to
conference. Its managers were in
structed to accept Senate amendments
repeating the present dye embargo and
placing potash on the free list
Some Republican House leaders,
plainly surprised and disappointed,
were pessimistic as to what the ulti-
mate result of the House action would
be. Representative Mondell of Wy
oming, the floor leader. said he could
not say what the outcome would be,
while Chairman Fordney Of the ways
and means committee said it looked
doubtful whether there would be a
tariff bill.at this session of Congress.
Chairman McCumber of the Senate
managers took a more optimistic view,
however, stating that the Senate
would agree to another conference and
that the differences would be adjust
ed speedily.
The vote in the House for III to
100, with 102 Republicans, "A Demo-
Gratis and the one Socialist voting in
support Of the motion by Representa-
tive, Garner, Democrat, Texas, to re-
commit, and 1926 Republicans and four
Democrats voting against it. The vote
followed Gay of parliamentary
wrangling and sharp debate and an
nouncement Of the result by Speaker
Gillett was greeted by applause on
both sides of the chamber and with
loud cheers from many of the Demo-
Gratis.
Only twoa New England representa-
tives, Anderson and Andrews, Republic
cans, Massachusetts,, supported the
Garner resolution.
Most of the Republicans voting for
the Garner resolution are from the
western agricultural states and New
York, with a majority of them oppos-
ing both the dye embargo provisions
and the duty on potash. Other sec
lions of the bill, however, came in for
sharp criticism from the Republican
side and some leaders regarded pres
ent sentiment in the House as so di-
vided as to make doubtful the fate of
the measure.
Apparently the move by Representa-
tive Garner, who is the ranking DEM
ocrat on the committee which framed
the original tariff, to include potash in
his motion to recommit, took the man.
ayers of the bill by surprise. In an
nouncing that he would offer the mo-
ton Mr.. Garner declared the potash
duty was a scandal and charged that
it had been placed in the bill "in order
that certain interests in the state of
Utah may have an opportunity to rob
the farmers at the rate of $50 ton
for the potash they hold"
Chairman Fordney in replying de-
clared the potash duty was necessary
to protect the industry built up In
Utah, California, Nebraska and other
states during the war and charged
that DIR. Huston. the lobbyist for the
German potash monopoly" was in the
little alcove outside the House cham
ber." Both Mr.. Tordney and Repre-
sentative Green, Republican, Iowa, an
other of the House managers. said the
conferees had reason to believe that
France and Germany were in agree
ment to increase the price of potash.

trial machinery of the country is

tory"
Labor department officials said
that they understood that a total of
81 roads would be affected by the set
tlement.
The basis of the settlement as ur-
derstood here follows along the lines
or tentative agreement recently
worked out by B. NJ. Jewell, leader
of the striking shopment and Daniel
Willard, president of the Baltimore
& Ohio.
This plan has been understood to
involve briefly the return to work of
all strikers except those who have
engaged in violence, retention by the
carriers of all men now at work, and
adjudication of disputed questions by
committees representing the rail-
roads and their employees. What dis
position was made of the trouble
some seniority question was not
known here.
