Federal Railroad Aid
Declared Necessary
In Coming Year
Southern Pacific Chief
Urges Action Despite
Traffic Increases
b. the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.-Al-
though the railroads anticipate in
cerased traffic in 1899, they will be
unable to make both ends meet un-
less some public action is taken to
help them, A. D. Mcdonald, presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific Co.,
said in a year-end review today.
Despite continuation in 1898 of
the improvements in operating ef-
ficiency and service to the public
that have marked recent years as q
new era in railroading," Mcdonald
said, "the American railroads face
the most critical financial situation
in their history as 1889 opens.
"The situation is characterized by
increased costs in every phase of
operation and by greatly increased
competition, while income has de-
creased and the degree of mana
gerial freedom to meet the new
conditions remains largely that of
the long past era when railroads
had virtually monopoly on land
transportation in this country.
"The most encouraging phase of
the railroad outlook is that the
country now shows definite DISPOSE
ton to take remedial action, real
izing that there can be no perma-
nent prosperity until the funda-
mental transportation problem is
solved"
Typical of the roads efforts to
speed up rail transportation to make
possible today's faster pace of busi-
ness, Mcdonald said, was the fact
that on the Southern Pacific lines
the average speed of freight trains
has increased more than Is per cent
in 10 years, merchandise schedules
are IS per cent shorter than a decade
ago and that heavy materials now
run on schedules formerly used ex-
clusively for perishables. This speed
up, he asserted, has resulted in
heavily increased expense.
The roads, he said, have done their
utmost to meet the added costs with
operating efficiencies and economies,
and concluded:
But with the great increase in
cost of materials and supplies, wages,
taxes and other expenditures of the
last few years and a decrease of 10
per cent in freight revenue per ton
mile under that of 10 years ago, the
increased efflciencies and economies
are insufficient to make both ends
meet"

runs through the house with = view
down rolling terrace to the most
delightful garden. A distinctive fea-
ture of this hall is that it is spanned
by double arch with no center sup
port. A graceful stair goes to the
second floor where q large window
gives view of woodland and fields
and the river in the distance. Up
stairs, from the wide hall. are de-
lightful bedrooms, one of them with
beautiful paneling, and all with
hearthS and overmantels.
The garden door is the most per-
feet bit Of the whole house. In fine
proportion to the wall of the house
it is covered by q shell-shaped canopy,
over which trail rambler roses. The
finest detail and exquisite design make
this the outstanding ornament OF the
whole house and the present owners,
recognizing this, have given it their
best thought and effort. The steps
under this canopy lead to . wide.
grassy walk bordered by Towering
shrubs and perennials to the end of
the garden and q gate to the field
beyond. From this lower gate looking
back at the house we are overcome
with satisfaction that we live in a
time which is bringing to life again
these fine old houses so that we may
find again the serenity that has al
most disappeared in the years Of con-
centration on city life.

lust around the bend in the river
from Tulip Hill is another delight
full house. It was built by James
Cheston in 1887 for his wife who was
Galloway. Unlike Tulip Hill 1t re-
mains in the hands of the fifth gene
ration of the descendants of the
builder. There have been some
changes made in the original house,
but the same acres are still farmed and
many of the original furnishings are
in their accustomed place within the
house. This family has held on to its
property. They have watched the
opposite shore pop up with little sum-
mer cottages and the crowd come and
60, while they have gently resisted all
offers, and in this way secured for
themselves a quiet little kingdom all
their own.
Tulip Hill will be open in connection
with Garden Week in Maryland on the
End and 3rd of May. Why not go ex-
ploring and see many of these lovely
old places? The gardens are especially
lovely this year and may help you
solve many Of your own garden prob
lens. and the houses which are opened
in most instances with tho garden,
because Maryland is the soul Of hospi-
tality, will inspire you to realize the
great Joy Of working on a house Of
your own.

homes, of which the great end CHM
neys are still visible today through
the trees on the top Of many q knoll.
Most Of these houses were made of
brick, Georgian in type, with a wide
center hall: one or more large rooms
on either side Of the hall. The two
and-a-half story house was balanced
by wings on either side connected by
q hallway, one of these the used kitch-
en- wing, the other as the Office, or
library. There were few architects in
this country at the time these houses
were built, but books of plans of the
best architects in England were avail
able, and the man who constructed
the house combined the abilities of
both architect and builder. English
countryside was not very different
from Maryland, and the country house
of England was made to fit into the
Maryland scene with few modifca-
tions.
Not far from Upper Marlborough to-
ward Annapolis is Tulip Hill It was
built by Samuel Galloway in 1755 and
named for the great tulip-poplar
trees which surrounded it. In plan
It is similar to the popular and fash

above, but Mr.. Galloway modified
these to suit his personal taste, and
his location. At the present time
Tulip Hill has been modernized very
.cleverly to make it liveable in the
summer time for family, but this has
been done without sacrificing any of
the charm Of many years ago.

spoil any party. So II you have an
enemy, forgive him and kiss him on
both cheeks, not for his sake, but
simply because 1t is making you un-
happy and uncomfortable to be stirred
up with wrath against him.
Seventh. Keep in circulation. Go
around and meet people. Belong to
clubs. Travel as much as you can.
Have as many interests as possible.
Have hosts Of friends. That Is the
way to keep yourself cheerful and
Jolly and thinking this is the best OF
all possible worlds. It is the little bird
that hops around that sings merry
roundelay, not the calm little bird
that stays shut up in its shell.
Eighth. Don't hold post mortems.
Don't spend your life brooding over
the mistakes you have made or the
sorrows that have befallen you. What
is done is done and cannot be changed,
but you have your whole future life in
which to make good. Not all our tears
can bring back those We have lost,
but We can make life miserable for
ourselves and those about us by our
unavailing weeping. Quit beating
upon your breast because you haven t
as much money as you used to have
Don't be one Of those who never get
over things. Have the courage to take
misfortune on the chin and come up
smiling.
Ninth. Do something for somebody
less fortunate than yourself. Minister
to other peoples troubles and you will
forget your own. Happiness is coin
that we keep only when we give 1t
away.
Tenth. Keep busy. That is the
sovereign remedy for unhappiness
Hard work Is a panacea for trouble
You never saw q very busy person who
was unhappy. DOROTHY DIX.

BRIEF H|TSU. s.
STOCKyARD FIGHT.
Wood Sees Ruling Protest
Based on T0taIitarian
Philosophy.
Fy the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Frederick H. Wood told the Supreme
Court today that the Governments
objections to the recent Kansas City
Stockyard decision were based upon
the political philosophy of totalita-
rian state and not Of free people"
Mr.. Wood, counsel for commission
agents at the Kansas City Stockyards,
made the assertion in a brief filed
with the court. The commission
agents recently won their fight against
an order by Secretary Wallace reduc-
ing charges they were permitted to
make for their services.
Mr.. Wood opposed a Government
petition seeking reconsideration OF the
April rs court decision. The ruling
condemned procedure employed by
Secretary Wallace, saying the COM
mission men were not given fair
hearing.
I'm its last analysis" Mr.. Wood
said, "the argument of the Govern
ment on the submission of this case
was that it was no business OF the
courts whether or not administrative
officers and tribunals accord what the
court has now aptly called the 'rudi-
mentary requirements Of fair play to
those over whose rights and liberties
they are given power.
Administrative convenience and
dispatch may not be put above the
essential requirements of fair play
and due process"
Mr.. Wood said, ~'There will always
be executive officers and administra-
tive agencies impatient at being COM
PEELED by the judiciary to keep within
bounds. There always have BEEN"
He disputed a contention by Sec
retary Wallace and Solicitor General
Robert H. Jackson that the court
had reversed itself, declaring that in
the recent litigation the court had
vital information it lacked" when
the case was before it two years
ago.
An announcement as to whether
the court will reconsider Its decision

KEYSTONE ELECTION
PROBE AUTHORIZED
Supreme Court Rules Dauphin
County Jury May Investigate
Bribery Charges.
BY TIE Associated Press.

by LIE ASSOCldteC fTeSS.
HARRISBURG. Pa, May as
Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruled
today that the Dauphin County (Har-
risburg) grand jury would be allowed
to investigate charges of bribery and
political coercion hurled in the recent
primary if particular crimes were
specified.
In a 6-to-1 decision the court al
lowed 20 days to amend the petition
for the investigation. If this were not
done the inquiry would be barred, the
court said.
The request for the probe, one of the
most spectacular moves of the bitter
campaign preceding last Tuesdays
primary, first came from Charles j..
Margiotti. who polled 175,0o0 votes
but ran third for the Democratic NOM
ination for Governor.
Mr.. Margiotti was attorney general
when he made the demand, but Gov.
George H. Earle, who later won the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator, fired him from the
cabinet because he would not make
public his charges.
Charles Alvin Jones, Pittsburgher
who ran with Gov. Earle on the Demo-
cratic State Committee-indorsed
ticket, won the gubernatorial nomina-
ton. Thomas Kennedy, candidate OF
c. I. o. leader John L. Lewis, and
United States Senator Joseph F. Guf-
