PRESIDENT SCANS
SUGAR QUOTAB|LL
Still Ponders Signing or Ve-
toing of PIan-Verdict
Expected Today.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, N Y. August 81
President Roosevelt continued today
to ponder the important question
whether to veto or sign the sugar
sterilization bill.
There was a possibility that he
might have something to say on the
subject during the day or at late day
press conference.
With the question Of an extra ses-
sion of Congress entwined in pos
sible rejection of the controversial
measure, = decision was regarded as
certain before the President leaves
Thursday for a five or six day cruise
on the Hudson and Long Island Sound.
He has opposed restrictions on i'm
ports Of refined sugar from Hawaii
and Puerto Rico, which the domestic
and off-shore quota bill continues in
effect until March, 1910, but pro-
ponents who talked with him before
he left Washington said they were
very hopeful the measure would win
his approval.
Some officials contend veto would
make a special session virtually GER
tain. The regulatory measure would
replace the existing Jones-Costigan
act which expires December 81 next.
Without an extra session to enact
substitute legislation there would be
lapse of at least several weeks before
the regular January meeting could
pass on q new bill
With this decision confronting him,
the President studied additional left
over bills today, after having ap-
proved the Byrnes measure for the
first attempt to ascertain the number
Of jobless in the Nation by volun-
tary registration.
Many Government agencies have
extensive data already on hand to
serve as q nucleus for the census"
which, under the act, must be COM
pleted by April L.
The census" bill was one Of five
disposed of yesterday. One other was
approved and three vetoed-all rela-
lively minor.
The President arranged for a mid
afternoon drive to the Dutchess Coun-
ty Fair at nearby Rhinebeck. It Is
an annual event for the President If
he happens to be at his mothers
home here at the time. No speech
was planned.

tives of the few now here awaiting the
opening Of the season, are shipped
here from New York.
Although the oyster tongers are
hard at work in Chesapeake Bay, they
are sending their catches to Crisfeld
Md, to be canned and shipped all over
the Nation. Boats of the oyster fleet
will not start to Washington until the
weather gets cold and the oysters
fatter.
In bygone days. before modern
methods Of refrigeration were per-
fected, almost all Washingtons oysters
were shipped here by boat. After the
weather turned cold enough to make
ice unnecessary, as many as so oyster
boats would be anchored at the same
time at the Fish Wharf.

HENDAYE Franco-Spanish From
tier, August 31.-Generalissimo Fran
cisco Frances Aragon forces have
broken through the Spanish govern
ment's lines on the Zaragoza front, an
insurgent communique said today.
Frances legionnaires, fercely re-
sSting government attempt to wrest
Zaragoza from them. were reported to
have started counter-advance in the
vicinity of Zuera, about Is miles north
of the one-time capital of the ancient
Aragon Kingdom.
Fighting ragged both north and south

government units have made smashing
attacks to drive wedge through
frances long Aragon salient and
shear of the lower end, pointed by
Teruel from which an insurgent
army for weeks has menaced the vital
Observation-Disclosures highway.
Government reports said Francois
men had been driven from their
mountain positions around Belchite
about 20 miles south of Zaraeoza. The
fall OF Belchite, these advices said,
was imminent.
While the insurgent communique
gave no details of the fracture OF the
government line, it was believed to
have referred to the front north OF
Zaragoza-not the Belchite sector.
While insurgent mop up columns

to get fat enough to be eaten in

RAIL DEAL BACKING
FOR c. & 0. URGED
!. c. c. Examiner Fayors Az.
provaI for Acquisition
of Two Lines,

BACKGROUND
A plan to group all the railroads
OF the country into number OF
major systems has been under CON.
stderdtton by the Interstate COM
merce Commission tntermtttentlu
since 1920. As at present contem-
plated four systems Uould be set
up in the East, the Chesapeake e.
Ohio-Nickel Plate being one OF the
number.
Proposed acquisition by the Chesa-
peake d Ohio Railway Of control Of
the New York. Chicago and st. Louis
nickel Plate) Railroad Co. and the
Erie Railroad Co. won approval to-
day of an Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiner. He recommended
that the commission itself approve
the plan.
The two roads to be acquired are
already controlled by the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railway Co. through two
wholly owned subsidiaries, the Alle-
gheny and Chesapeake corporations,
but under the new plan the carrier
would get direct control now vested
in the holding companies.
All the properties involved were
included in the former Van Swerin-
gen transportation empire, recently
purchased by a group of New York
capitalists, headed by r. r. Young.
The new owners recently proposed
merger of the Allegheny and Chesa-
peake corporations, but Baltimore
Circuit Court issued temporary in
junction on the plea of an institu-
tlonal stockholder there The Al
leghany Corp. controls the C. & o.
through the Chesapeake Corp.
More recently, the Interstate Com
merce Commission ordered an investi-
cation of the Van SUeringen system,
but thus far no time for a hearing
has been set. The Senate Railroad
Finance Investigating Committee
spent many weeks studying the system
last session.
Fayorably reporting the acquisition
plan today, the examiner, Ralph 3.
Molster, said the transaction would
be in harmony with the commissions
plan for consolidating rail properties
generally.
Under the plan, the Chesapeake &
Ohio proposes to take over from the
Virginia Transportation Corr,
wnolly-owned subsidiary, 25,l0 shares
of New York, Chicago e. st. Louis
Railroad Co. common stock, l5l.4o5
shares Of Erie first preferred stock.
60,l05 shares of Erie second preferred
and 10000 shares Of Erie common
stock.
1t proposes also to take over from
the Allegheny Corp 1900 shares of
Nickel Plate common and 2l5,ooO
shares Of Erie common
Taken together, these interests
would amount to 5702 per cent of
Nickel Plate and $3.50 per cent of
Erie securities, representing voting
control.

a law professor and disciple of Har-
Ian Fiske Stone. now general counsel
Of the Treasury and one of the few
survivors OF the Columbia University
group Of thinkers who dominated
the New Deal Intellectually in its
early days.
DR.. Oliphant's name appears in the
papers about once in six months, but
when Henry Morgenthau. jr., became
Acting Secretary Of the Treasury late
in 1888 at every press conference he
kept Oliphant by his side. asking him
often when the correspondents ques-
tions were flying fast:
How about that, Hermann"
Oliphant then was rhe Acting Sec
retary's own general counsel. AS
soon as Morgenthau was named Sec
retary to succeed William Woodin,
he appointed Oliphant the first at
torney Of the department., post
which in the Roosevelt administra-
ton has required his acting as chief
technician in the development OF a
financial policy built on high hill
of innovation.
DR.. Oliphant Prefers
Invention to Finance.
Despite his ability as legal adviser
for the fiscal pioneering of the New
Deal, Oliphant prefers invention to
law and finance For him his most
noteworthy achievement of recent
years has been not his perfection Of
the tripartite gold stabilization agree
ment but his construction Of q we'll
which brought and brings water to

he could as soon find gold as water.

hobby since. think ! was led to
study law by complete misapprehen-
sion as to what it was like, but once
into it I have enjoyed it thoroughly,
particularly efforts to relate it more
closely to the practical side Of life"
Oliphant was born a Democrat in
1884 Of parents who had moved from
North Carolina to Indiana. He be-
came lawyer when he was 80 and
already the father Of three children.
But besides his age and family he
had Phi Beta Kappa key and
membership in the Order of the

Government forces dislodged insur-

The insurgents have held the entire
length of the range, running west
ward from the sea behind Almeria,

The price of eggs, for example,
