week relative to legislative measures.
The President is known to favor
many features of the Cummins plan.
The belief prevails, however, that
little change will be made in existing
laws governing the railroads because
of the strong opposition from Senator
La Toilette, of Wisconsin, and eleven
other Senators forming the self-styled
"LaFollete bloc" Senator Cummins
believes that in consolidating the
railroads expenses will be lowered
and thus permit freight-rate reduc-
tons. In this connection it is inter
esting to note that a special report
compiled by the committee on the
readiustment of relative freight-rate
schedules designated by the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States,
recommended this week that "the
rate problem of the hour is one of
better adjustment of relative rates,
not of a general reduction of all
rates."
The President stated that his
speech would be a brief and contain
specific recommendations for legis-
lation. He made it clear that he had
no intention of presenting arguments
for discussion. The Cabinet studied
problems this week as
it is necessary to re-enact or revise
the present law which expires June
30th.

NORFOLK, Va, July 25.-
A live elm tree means more to
Norfolk city council than does
the dust of the city's founders.
A short time ago when Bank
street, a busy downtown thor
oughfare, was widened, council
refused to cut down a vener-
able elm tree in front of city
hall, despite the protests Of
many business concerns, and
today it projects out into the
fairway like a tiny Florida.
But when the Association for
the Preservation of Virginia
Antiquities, headed by Mrs.
Frank Anthony Wake, sought
to save a portion of Old St.
Pauls Cemetery, one of the
oldest and most historic Prot
estant burying grounds in the
