Railroad Consolidation Measure However, Not Likely to Pass
 This Session
CLAIM IS MADE GREAT
 SAYING WOULD RESULT
According to Proponents ot Bill From 300 10 800 Million Dollars a Year Would bc Saved and Could he Utilized In R Reduction Of Freight and Passenger Rates.

Washington, April l3 lP -- The Cummins bill 10 enforce railroad consolidation after an experimental period, was reported favorably today by the senate interstate commerce committee. The outlook for passage at this session is dubious
 The Compulsory Clauses
 The compulsory clauses of the bill would apply to those roads which fail to consolidate within five years. At the end of that time the inter- state commerce commission would proceed to unity the roads into a limited number Of systems to be es- tablished in accordance with the public interest.
 Without taking into account the economies that may be secured through consolidation, said the committee report, "it is submitted as an inevitable conclusion that if process or "lSc tOflSOIOdLlOll IS HOL soon entered upon and rapidly car ried forward, not less than 60,000 miles, and it may reach 2O,000 miles, or our rail transportation system must be either abandoned or, at the best, will be rendering the most un- satisfactory and inefficient service.
 Savings Predicted
 These facts present the chief req son for the passage of the bills if the facts are fairly understood, con- solidation in some form is a foregone conclusion.
 Ut has been estimated that with the service now being rendered, there could be a saving or from $300,000,000 to 5000, 100000 annual ly, all of which could be utilized in reduction of freight and passenger rates.
 "The committee has not had In mind increasing profits for railway companies. Its attention has been directed solely to the highest eff ciency In service and the lowest rates at which service can be rendered."

SARGENT ATTACKS DRY LAW CRITICS Attorney General Also Plays
 Those Who Violate It WARNS U. s. PROSECUTORS
Doesn't Mention Buckner, But De- clares Government Prosecutor Ought Not Take Attitude That Law As It Is, Is Not Right.

,
 Washington, April 1S [4D -- A broadside against both violators and critics of the prohibition law was delivered today by Attorney General Sargent.
 Speaking before the Women's Ma tional Committee for Law Enforce ment, he declared purchasers of liquor are morally guilty Of bribery, warned government prosecutors not to criticize the law, appealed to the women of the country to ostracize those who serve liquor in the home, land promised those who foster vio- lations of the statutes that 'the hand of punishment shall fall as of- ten and as heavily as those snow charged with thes duties of admin istering the law can cause it to fall. .''
 Good Help the Bad
 "The real source of the embar- rassment to the enforcement of the iaw,' he said, is not that the law Iinterferes with personal liberty 'any law which has any effect upon the conduct of the individuals com posing society does that--must do that-but that so many well inten- toned persons, thoughtlessly, or fol- lowing some process Of unsound reasoning, join hands with those who intentionally violate the law.
 There is no right of personal lib crty to perpetuate an institution which the law condemns. That the liquor traffic shall be experimental is established by solemn resolution of the electorate.'
 Warns Prosecutors
 Without mentioning any names, Mir. Sargent said that so long as any man holds his place as public pros ccutor. he ought not to take the position that the law as it is, ought not to be he law"
 "Tf He go declaring in speech and in print that the law ought to be changed so that the acts which are of1enses against the law will not be OlfenScs," he said, i've thereby weaken our causes in the minds Of the tribunals before whom We must try thom."
 Insisting that the enforcement is successfully lighting the liquor traf- lie and can enforce the prohibition law, the attorney general asked for the help of the women.
 "Tou car see to it." he said, that at no social event in your charge shall your tables be disgraced by the presence of unlawful liquor.
 You can, if you will, make the serving of unlawful liquor at social of your acquaintances so that it will cease"

MAY MAKE SHRINE
 OF BURRITT HOME
Eddy-GloVer Post, A. L., Ex-
 peCted to Foster Movement
COMMANDER PETTS ACTS
Head of EN-SerNicemen Appoints Committee To Inyestigatc--Scce- tary Gould Of Chamber of Con- merce Promises To Bring Up Project

Commander Arthur Petts of Eddy Glover post. American Legion, has appointed q committee to look into the advisability of starting agitation to purchase the old Elihu Burritt home in Finnegans alley.
 Stirred 10 action by the recent pie lures in a Herald showing the Burritt mansion In it's heyday, and a picture of ii as 1t exists today mem her. of the Legion, who regard Elihu Burritt as a national hero, decided to have q speaker explain methods of restoring the building. The post luncheon club will first take the mat ter up. and if in the opinion of the members, the proposition warrants it, the matter will be submitted to the monthly meeting for action.
 Efforts to interest the civic com mittee of the Chamber of Con- merce materialized this morning when Secretary Ralph Gould con- sontcd to serve on the Legion com- mittoe to investigate the matter. It is practically assured, said Secretary Gould, that the civic committee of the chamber will cooperate in every way possible. One of the objections 10 restoration on the present plot is overcome by the fact that some day 8 new street may run directly past the house. and the value of a museum there would benefit the en- tl"e city.
 It is expected that Commander Petts will augment the Legion com mittee as soon as the matter is brought to a head at the Legion luncheon next Monday. There is a meeting of the civic committee of the Chamber of Commerce next Fri day and the matter will be brought before the chamber officially by Sec rctary Gould at that time. The re- port Of the committees deliberations will be given at the Legion luncheon club the following Monday.
 Both members of the Legion and the Chamber of Commerce report that there is a strong sentiment in town for the restoration of Burritts former home.
