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.

only steps taken by the committee to

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
