No Action Yet Taken to Meet Demand That Shortage Be Relieved at Once. Olds, Wortman & Kin: Reliable Merchandise Reliable Methods PRECEDENT IS FEARED Companies Contend They Can Work Oat Better Remedies Themselves. Association . Slay Try Again . to Accomplish Result. WASHINGTON, Jan; 29. The Inter state Commerce Commission's ultima tum to the railroads of the country. giving- them 10 days to appoint a com mittee vested with plenary powers tor the purpose of co-operating with the Commission in framing regulations to relieve the country-wide shortage of boxcars, will expire tomorrow without the appointment by the railroads of such a committee. In Its order of January 20 prescrib ing drastic regulations designed to re lieve the shortage in coal cars, the Commission notified the roads that un less the committee was named the Com mission would consider taking the sit uation into its own hands, as it has done with reference to the shortage'of coal cars. Remedial regulations, looking to the ameliorating of the boxcar shortage will be discussed tw the railroads, how ever, at a meetlrtfe of the American Hallways Association in New York next Friday. Efforts will be made at this meeting, it is said, to frame suitable requirements for relief of the situation and to obtain authority for the en forcement of heavy penalties against roads violating the proposed regula tions, i Worn Shortage ' Predicted. Tn this manner the railroad heads hope to satisfy the demands of the Commission and to retain control of the situation in' their own hands. The car service committee. of the as sociation conferred today with Com missioner McChord with reference to the order requiring the return of coal cars to owning lines and frankly told him that while the roads would bend every energy to obey the Commission's orders, they did not think the orders afford the relief expectea. - some mem bers of the committee were of the opin ion that obedience to the new order would result in a worse shortage of coal cars than has ever prevailed be fore. - - . Commission Means Business. Mr. McChord is understood to have ex pressed -himself as "meaning business" both with respect to the enforcement of the order designed to relieve the coal car shortage failure to obey which is punishable by a $6000 fine and with respect to the Commission's intention to act to relieve the boxcar shortage un less the railroads themselves should speedily enforce adequate measures. Failure of the railroads to appoint the committee designated in the Com mission's order is attributed to several causes, among which are the establish ment of what some railroad heads re gard as a dangerous precedent and the opinion that If the railroads were per mitted to work out remedial plans through their own experts and enforce them the situation could be met with out the Commission's supervision.

H. B. Miller, director of the school. says that only two memDers 01 mo committee which submitted the report ever visited him for the purpose of ob taining any Information regarding the work of the Scnool of Commerce, before making the adverse report, and that these two conferences did not represent more than ten minutes each. These two visits constitute, says Mr. Miller, as far as he is informed, the only steps taken by the committee to obtain Information on which to base their report on the School or Com merce. Report BrUisa Protest. Vhnmr, business organizations of the state which have developed close and valuable co-operation with the School of Commerce are protesting the report vigorously, and Mr. Clark's statement on the subject Is peculiarly pointed, in.imiich a his ofTice represents point of co-operation between the Fed eral Oovernment, the Chamber of Commerce and the School of Commerce r t t Vi ft iinlversitv.

Metropolitan Five Have Big Musical Number Two Wilson Brothers Have Spectator Convulsed. Redolent of the tan bark is the big topllne act of Pantages bill this week. There's a huge "effalent," so big he scares the audience Into fits when he picks his way carefully over the pros trated flguso of his trainer. There's a horse, a marvel ously trained animal which dances all sorts of steps and does team work with the elephant. A saucy Shetland pony, smart as the whip which is conspicuous by its ab sence from this act. and a beautiful big Newfoundland dog. sagacious and loving, complete the circus. Of course there are the trainers, the two Grubers, and to them must go great credit for cultivating the Intelligence of these big brutes. The elephant Is truly a wonder. He does tricks which we'd find amazing if a small dog did them, sitting up on his haunches, dancing, carrying the pony by a strap In his mout i, and per forming astonishing feats. After this big act. the most preten tious is the Metropolitan Five, two attractive girls in lovely frocks, and three men. One man Is a pianist of ability. His rendition of Paderewskl's Polonaise was exceptionally good. The other four present an artistic pro gramme, and one that pleases every variety of music lover. Miss Gilbert is the soprano. Silvia Filbert the con tralto. J. Thornton Flynn the tenor. Herbert Bailey the baritone. J. Arthur Nesbit Is the pianist. The two WiLaon brothers might bill themselves W ilson that's all, and folk would understand how valuable they are. They yodel, and chatter and sing merrily. They are effervescent Rhineland makers of fun and call their act "You Go Out." because every two minutes they have to request some convulsed spectator to leave.
