RA|LMAN REVEALS
AIR Line PROGRAM
Maj. C. &. Mccullough Tells
KiWanis Club Land Con-
nection Is Near.

:, Definite linking Of rail and air trans
portation in the near future was fore-
cast by Maj C. E. Mccullough. general
passenger agent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. speaking before luncheon Of
the Kiwanis Club at the Hotel WASH
ington yesterday.
Air transportation is unlikely to
supersede entirely the railroads, he de-
clared, since 1t would be impossible to
dispense with the latter in the trans
portation Of heavy freight. The roads
are consequently inclined to regard
aviation as cooperative rather than
competitive. Under the new system,
landing fields will be established every
so miles along the main route and q
weather bureau will be organized at
headquarters to which railroad en-
ployes at all stations along the line will
report weather conditions for the bene-
fit Of the pilots. As time is one of the
most important factors in prosperity
today. Mai. Mccullough declared, the
effecting of speedier means of trans
portation would bind the Nation
still closer together and would be
great contribution to prosperity.
Upon the linking of rail and air
transportation, it is believed that the
length of time required to cross the
continent could be reduced from four
and one-half days to less than 48 hours.
The planes will be designed to carry
baggage in the wings. rather than in
the rear, as is done In Europe at pres
ent, and the interior is thus expected to
be more comfortable than any craft in
use in Europe or America today.
Announcement was also made at the
meeting that bronze tablet will be un-
yelled by the Kiwanis Club, April 80,
marking the site of the old State De-
partment Building. at the northeast
corner of the Treasury, In which the
Webster-Ashburton treaty. determining
the northeast boundary between Canada
and the United States, was signed,
August 8, 1912.

Washington, March 30.-When rival
sugar interests get to warning over
The tariff it's sweet fight. They're
doing that now and the ramifica-
tons are as thick as petals OH a
.lrysanthenlum.
The beet sugar interests, sup
ported by the Louisiana cane sugar
interests. demand higher tariff
on Cuban sugar The duty there now
stands at 176 cents pound and any
thing between 2 and 3 cents would
ratisfy the domestic producers.
American companies raising sugar
in Cuba, whence comes SO per cent
j. OF the sugar America eats. are work
ing with the Cuban government
against boost and have even APP
Piled for a reduction.
Both rival groups would like to
/, sock the Filipinos by restricting duty
free imports OF Philippine sugar to
100000 or 100000 tons a year. Con-
gresham Timberlake Of Colorado has
introduced bill to limit them to
100000.

 Delay. it k pointed out. Is . prime factor in the obstruction o1 justice.
 Fifty per cent of major crimes in which criminals were sentenced took ss days or more from arrest to final disposition. Cases where de- fendants waived grand jury hear ings averaged 1S days and cases tried and acquitted took so days. Many indicted persons must stay in jail until the final verdict. it Is made clear. and better organization of the couas' working time prob- ably could cut down the period of waiting one half. reducing hard ships of innocent people and prob ably increasing the number of con- victions.
 Throughout Pennsylvania only 31 per cent of cases reaching the grand jury were punished, compared with 29 per cent in Chicago. 3S pf cent in New York city and A. per cent in Milwaukee. The commission be- lieves the total number of arrests

 ''In cur opinion" says 'he con- mission. ''it would certainly be worth while to look more deeply into this class of crime (liquor law violations). which numerically Is now the most important with which grand juries have to deal.
 Astonishment smotc the commis- sion when 1t discovered that in the four cities where the subject was studied, 74 per cent of cases were eliminated in the preliminary hear. ing. Either the police were arrest ing on totally insufficient evidence. 1t decided. or the lower court were failing in their duty through inef- ffciency or political expediency.
 The commission thinks it Is worth study whether grand jury hearings ought not to be dispensed with except for inquisitorial pur- poses. It found that grand jurors eliminated 16 per cent Of cases coming before them and that dis trict attorneys had nol-prossed 1G per cent of cases passed on to them by grand juries.

 An investigation oyer the week. end dtsclosed the fact that this city has the honor of being the home of two descendants of the famous 'Eharter Oak" and not one as pre-. viously thought. School authorities discovered that there is 2 descend ant of the tree In. front Of the Israel Putnam school as we'll as the Val entine H. Chamberlain school.
 Like the Cham berlain school tree. this one was donated by Deacon David Camp in 1914. Mir. Camp gave the school two trees, one of which died. thereby leaving the im- preston that the Chamberlain school tree was the only one left in the city. The tree is in good condition due to watchful care. lts trunk is sh inches and its height is 25 feet.
 When the addition was built to the school. it was necesary to move the tree further out from the buiid- ing because it was within four feet of the structure. During the fire at the school last year fear was felt for the safety of the tree but by luck the wind blew the flames away from the tree. Like the Chamber lain school tree. boys have often climbed into it's branches but have done no harm.

al citizens and school patrons assem-
bled in the Courthouse last Wednes-
day night. A drawing was exhibited
by Mr.. Sutherland showing the ten

Practically all heads of families
present were heartily in favor of the
plan as outlined by Mr.. Sutherland
and also of the plan of financing the
building of the much needed inn
provements. Round table discussion
was held in which almost everybody
responded with short talk.
A committee of ten was appointed
20 work out details and present the
proposition before the school board,
which meets here tomorrow.
