Advocates of ship sub Silly legislation were given a scare by a report circulated at the Capitol today to tha effect that. President Roosevelt will not send a special message to Con press urging subsidy legislation unless the Re. publican loaders In the House and Senate f 11 aret together and agree upon soma particular type of bill. The President's plan of calling oft the subsidy for tranp-Atlftntlc liners has not met with a pproval anions; Eastern Con (tressmen, and they appear to have little Interest In a bfll that proposes to sub sidize only lines engaged In Oriental and South American trade. On the other li h ti . many enthusiastic believer in sub sidy agree with the President that some aid should be. granted lines to the Orient and to South America a nd, if the Iresi d"nt withholds his contemplated message, irtus making the passage of a subsidy bill Impossible, theso men propone to offer an amendment to tha postof flee appro priation bill granting a liberal ".ubven- tion" to Ortental and South American lines that fly the American fla and carry American matL?, this In lieu of a direct subsidy. The House committee meets Monday to agree. If possible, on some form of uhJdy bill, but the fact that the Presf dnt has not sent in a subsidy meaxaga and cannot do o before the committee mrcts makes the outlook for subs'dy legislation darker than at any time this session.

INVESTIGATES BLOCK SIGNALS Croiiinif salon Propties Test of Wreck- Freventing Devices. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. An Inquiry Into the operation of the block systems of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway and of the Suuttiern Railway was instituted today by the Interstate Commerce Commission. S perl fl o instances of what appears to have been the failure of the block signal de- vice, or as one of the commissioners ex pressed It. the failure of the human end of the device to prevent accidents involv ing heavy loss of life, were afforded by the recent disastrous accidents on the Southern Railway at Lawyers, Y. and on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Terra Cotta. IX O. Officials of both the Southern and the 'Baltimore & Ohio. were subpenaed to an- pear before the commission. The com mission may call officials of other lines on w h I ch wrec ks recen 1 1 y have occ u rr ed on account ot the apparent disregard ot the block si amain or the failure of the system to accomplish its purpose. In view of several recent disastrous railroad accidents- seemingly due to the failure of the operation of the block sig nal system the Interstate Commerce Com mission has forwarded to Congress a rec- ommendation for(the enactment of legis lation that will enable either the com- miasion or some other Government body to conduct experimental tests of auto matic devices for the prevention of rail- voad accidents. The recommendation says the commission Is credibly informed that such devices have, been invented and ex press the opinion that they ought to be tested at the Government's expense.
