MAY CHANGE PRESENT SYSTEM Official! of Roads Prepared to Advocate Federal Incorporation, Supervision of Securities and Extenaion of Authority of Interetate Commerce Commission. Washington, Nov. 20. Ten members of Congress, fire Senators and five members of the House of Representa tives, began here today an inquiry Into the subject of public control and su pervision of railroads that may lead to the revolutionizing of the whole scheme of governmental regulation of the coun try's transportation lines. Incidentally the committee is to look into the ques tion of government ownership of rail ways, telephone and telegraph lines and express companies. The members of the committee which will couduct this important In vesication are Senator Newlands of Nevada, chairman; Senators Robinson of Arkansas. Underwood of Alabnma, Cummins of Iowa and Hrnndeuee of Connecticut, and Representatives Ad amson of Georgia. Sims of Tennessee, Culjop of Indiana, Esch of Wisconsin and Hamilton of Michigan. The in quiry was recommended by President Wilson In his message to Congress In December of last year. He described as its purpose to determine what could be done "for bettering the conditions under which tlie railroads are operated and for making them more useful serv ants of the country as a whole." Prominent Men at Witnesses. In order to obtain the views of all Interests affected by the operations of the transportation lines the committee has Invited prominent shippers, bank ers, representatives of commercial or ganizations, railway executives, econo mists and others to appear before them. The first to bo heard are railroad commissioners of variousstatos who began their evidence today. Their testimony is directed chiefly to oppos ing any enlargement of the federal authority over commerce that would detract from the powers now exercised by state bodies. They will lie followed shortly by ollicluls of railway labor organizations who are expected to reg ister their opposition to the Increase of governmental authority over wages and conditions of labor. I Chief Interest Ui the hearings cen I ters in the proposals that will be put ! forward by representatives of the rail roads, for It Is reported that they will advocate an extension of federal au thority over rates and securities to the practical exclusion of state control of these matters. It Is understood also that they will go on record in favor of fed eral incorporation of all railroad lines. Legislative Program of Railroads. From an authoritative source Is ob tained the following outline of the leg islative program which the railroads will ask the committee to consider In Its Investigation: They will endeavor to demonstrate to the commission that one of the principal defects in the pres ent system of railroad regulation Is the lack of coordination resulting from the simultaneous and conflicting regu lation by the federal government and by the 48 states. They will, therefore, ask that entire governmental control of the rates and practices of Interstate carriers, except purely locaV matters, be placed In the hands of n federal body so that Interstate traffic mny be regulated without reference to state Hne9, leaving to the state commissions jnrlsdlctin-i rniy over local mutters and local public utilities. As a part of this plan, a compulsory system of federal Incorporation is to be recommended, accompanied by federal supervision of railroad stock and bond Issues. A reorganization of the Interstate Commerce Commission will be asked. In order to enable the commission prop erly to exercise Its Incrensed powers. It is also proposed that the preparation and prosecution of cases against the railroads shall be delegated to some other agency of the government, possi bly the Department of Justice, so that the .commission may devote Its ener gies to Its administrative functions. With the commission thus relieved of some of Its present duties and equip ped to handle Its business more prompt ly, the rullnlnds will urge that the pe riod during which the commission mny now suspend proposed Increases In rates be reduced from ten months to 00 days, with provision for reparation to be paid to the shippers If the ad vance shall lie declared unreasonable. They will nlso ask that the commls slon be given the power to prescribe minimum as well ss maximum rates so that In meeting complaints of dis crimination the commission may order the advance of a rate which It consid ers too low. One of the most Important recom mendations for which the railroads will ask favorable consideration is that the commission be specifically authorized to take into account In rate regulation the effect of rates upon total earnings In the light of ex penses. While the Newlands Committee Is required, under the resolution creat ing it, to submit a report by January 2 next. It Is tiot anticipated that the Committee will have come anywhere near completing its labors then. Artists Thrill An Audience of 300 Great Dane, Contralto, Baritone and Mrs. Skovgaard Especially Favor ites of the Company. Through tho enterprise of the L. D. S. church m Grande has again been refreshed musically. When the Skovgnurd company last cvoning edi fied a 1 4i Grande audienco of approx imately 300, musical ears were thrilled as they haven't been for a long time. Among the singers Mary Maiben Allen, contralto, and A. N. Engle, baritone, stood out above the rest. One of the gems of the evening was the skilful way Miss Allen sang an aria from Donizetti's "La Favor ita." JJer full, melodious voice found great opportunity to show itself in tho opera selection and she displayed that she possesses musical culture and a voice of rare quality. The bari tone's biggest number was the pro logue from Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" always a difficult thing to handle even by masters few others dure under take it. Sweetness and music in his not robust but melodious voice best came out in a duct from "Don Giovan ni" with Miss Heynes. Mr. Engle is a young man, comparatively new in opera 'but that he has a bright fu ture, none will gainsay who heard him last night. The very best in him is shown in moderately low tones where there is charm in his singing. Then tho Dane! Well, comment aries upon his playing are out of pla. He interpreted more than n dozen selections which only those who are more than ordinarily proficient can handle at all. His unostentatious manipulation of tho violin, bringing out the qualities only an inspired player can on a Stradivnrius can, ha swayed his audienco with the delicate strokes and shadings. It is entirely out of place to analyze his playing. He is a genius, an artist, and th'.it suffices. Alice McClimg-jSkovfenand was greeted vociferously when she came out to render her number and she hus lost none of her genius with the pi ano. She is an artist, a true artist.

The audience was very appreciative j extremely so and the performers woxii equally responsive; but many wanted to hear the great Dane play some simple things familiar to all of j us. In that particular, alone, was the program aught but one of the higheit typo of perfection.
