TARIFF REGULATIONS
HAVE BEEN RESTORED
CONTINUED from page u

and succeeded in having rates sus-
pended, the burden of proof is plac-
ed upon the carriers to justify such
changes, whereas, on the other hand,
if tariffs are permitted to become ell
fective the burden of proof is on the
shippers to show that the tariff or
regulation is unreasonable. Here IS
the advantage to the shippers and
receivers to have a Bureau which
can properly look out for their re-
spective interests and protect them
from unreasonable rules and regu-
lations, or increases in rates that
are not justifable."
Mr.. Gardner further stated that
after receiving advice that the sup
plements had been postponed, the
Bureau set about to obtain additional
facts and information and also to ar
range with witnesses from the points
affected so that testimony would be
available to go in to the record at
the hearing.
"The restoring of these points to
collect stations, Mr.. Gardner said,
prevents discrimination against
these towns and enables them to
take their proper places along with
the other towns on the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula. If they were rated as pre-
paid stations it would seriously in
terfere with their being able to in
terest any industries and in fact,
would be a severe handicap in all
future growth and development. 1t
would be difficult to estimate in dol
lars and cents the losses which those
communities might find had this tar
iff regulation remained as issued.
"The outcome in having this tariff
order reversed will clearly demon
strate the value of proper action
under organization and the service
which the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association is providing TO the en-
tire Peninsula. This is but one in
stance among many where substan-
tial results have been obtained by
the Association Bureau OF Traffic
and Transportation. Our depart
ment keeps in close touch with all
traffic and transportation problems,
cooperating both with the shippers
and carriers for adequate and et11-
cient service. Transportation is one
of the largest assets in any COM
munity and we stand ready and will
ing to aid or assist with any prob
lens that the individual Or commun-
ity may face in this line.

MILK PRODUCERS DISCUSS
PROBLEMS AT SMYRNA MEETING
Continued from page y

supply of milk will be put into eff
feet for the three months beginning
October 1 of this year. The assoc1a-
ton has decided to use the 1925 bas-
ic supply as the standard on which
to raise the price of milk 35 cents
hundred pounds to the farmers, IN
order that the dairymen throughout
the territory would not follow the
incentive this fall to increase their
production to take advantage of this
advance in price. The object of this
plan is to make it possible for the
farmers to realize more profit from
their milk, and at the same time to
not encourage them to stimulate pro-
duction to the extent that the mark
cts would be flooded with surplus
milk thereby causing the price to
greatly decrease as well as to huctu-
ate more according to the supply
and demand.
This basic and surplus plan was
also discussed by Clayton Reynolds
field man for the Interstate Milk
Producers Association, who is
spending several days in Delaware
and the Eastern Shore of Maryland
attending meetings of the various
local associations and discussing the
milk situation as it pertains to the
territory covered by the Philadelphia
markets.
At the business session, which was
presided over by w. D. Hudson, fol-
lowing the talks by Mr.. AlleDacn
and Mr. Reynolds, it was suggested
that new officers be elected for the
Clayton local assoclatlon'
and that a delegate be appointed TO
attend the annual meeting of the
Interstate Milk Producers Associa-
ton in Philadelphia on November ~
and %.
Howard c. Deakyne was elected
president; Malcolm Burrls, wee
president, and John w. Vane, secre-
tary-treasurer of the local organlza-
tion for the coming year. Edward
Downs was appointed delegate ana
John w. Vane as alternate to repre-
sent the Smyrna-C Clayton local aC the
annual meeting in Philadelphia.
The meeting last Friday evening
was called by E. H. Donovan OF
Brenford, who has served as one Oh
the directors of the Interstate MILK
Producers Association for three
wears. and who has devoted much OF
his time and efforts in behalf Of the
farmers of Kent county and the
state in aiding them to secure more
profitable returns from their dairy
herds.
Kent County Agent Russell p.
Wilson was also present at this
meeting and made an announcement
in regard to the field meetings which
have been arranged on the farms of
A. c. Darrah and William H. George
on September II and "a, respective
". to demonstrate the treatment Of
seed wheat for the control of stink
ing smut.

NEW YORK, October 5.-The liner

mort today With a menacing fire in
her after hold. which spread after it
was believed under control.
Two city fire boats were ordered
to her side at the quarantine station
and pumped tons of water into the
burning cargo.
officials of the line assured hun
dreds of anxious callers that there
was no danger to the passengers and
that no one had been injured.
The fire is believed to have started
from spontaneous combustion in hold
No. 5. The major part of the cargo
consisted of tobacco, rugs and rags.
Great clouds of black smoke belched
from the craft and attracted the at
tention of thousands of observers
along the shores of the narrows.
A number of tugs and a police
launch were standing by and no at
tempt was made to remove the pas
sengers. Apparently there was no
panic aboard, the passengers being OBJ
served on the decks watching the fire
boats.
officials expressed the belief that
the liner would be able to dock at her

POINCARE NOW SET
ON DEBT PACT 0. X.
French Premier Converted to
Original Terms, With "Oral"
Reservations,


PARIS, October 5.-Premier Potn.
care now believes that the Washing
ton debt agreement must be ratified
by the French Parliament as it was
approved by Ambassador Berenger
and Andrew w. Mellon, the American
Secretary of the Treasury.
The premier, who has always op.
posed the debt agreement because of
the absence of a guarantee clause to
protect France in her payments should
Germany fail to meet her reparations
obligations, is ready to accept ratifica-
tion, but with oral reservations which
would figure In the Official Journal
without being part of the act of ratifi-
cation. These oral reservations would
have no effect upon the validity of the
ratification as far as the United States
is concerned.
1t Is contended that while the reser.
vations will not affect the validity of
the ratification they will serve to off
set adverse criticism of the govern
ment by the hostile elements in Parlia-
ment.
The finance committee of the cham
ber, meeting yesterday, decided to
postpone action on the debt agree
ment until Premier Poincare can be
heard. probably within the next few
days.
There is doubt as to whether Am.
bassadOr Berenger will return to
Washington. His mission, which was
renewed in July. Is good until Janu-
airy /. but the impression prevails that
if the debt agreement is not ratified
the Senate will ask the government to
name a new Ambassador.

TRAFFIC AID URGED
BY CONDEMNATION
Park Committee Will Ask Ac-
quisiti0n of Takoma and
Manor Park Lands.

Immediate condemnation of parcels
of land in the vicinity of Manor Park
and Takoma Park for development of
additional traffic arteries will be
recommended to the District Commits
sioners by the co-ordinating committee
of the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. The committee. at
it's meeting today, after considering
several projects which have been be
fore it for some time. decided to ask
the Commissioners to act promptly
for the condemnation of the necessary
land to improve the streets.
The committee recommended that
condemnation proceedings be institut
ed for acquiring the necessary lano
for the opening of QuackenbOs street
from Blair road to Congress avenue
and for the opening of the latter ave
nue. from its present northern ter
minus at Nicholson street to the Dis
trict line. where it will intersect
Eastern avenue.
Would Change Blair Road.
1t is also recommended that such
proceedings be instituted for the &C.
QUESTION of land for changing the line
of the present Blair road from Pea
body to Underwood street.
The committee for the second time
rejected d request for. reducing the
width of RI street northeast aOrth of
Michigan avenue from 100 to 80 feet.
This matter had been reported against
at previous meeting. but certain real
estate interests, having subdivisions
in that section in mind. made another
request of the committee today.
The latter decided again that it
would be unwise to approve any re.
quest to cut down the width OF
streets In view Of the general effort
being made to widen them to meet
present-day traffic needs.
Market Report Approved.
Maj. Brown presented to the CO.
ordinating committee the report OF
the special committee of the commits
sion which has been considering the
relocation of the farmers market and
the commission market.
The committee approved the re.
port and recommendation. but Maj
Brown said it would be held in con.
fidenCe until it is presented TO the

Yet you see now that the same

each said he reached his decision aft

an oral transfer of stock.

The witness then became confused
by Buckner's contrasting present
testimony with that Johnson gave
here yesterday and before the grand
Jury last February.
johnson said that in conference on
the Merton claim between himself,
Golf and Williams, the question OF
ultimate beneficiaries was only one
Of the matters discussed.
