passed without a record vote.
Senator Tbwnsend, Republican,

the bill as passed by the housa
should be changed. lest confer
ence and ensuing- parliamentary
obstruction delay what, he de
scribed as action necessary to pre

railroads, but also among railroad

Debate was brief, barring a six

tacked it as designed to enlarge
the government's original guaran

Senator LaFoilette which would
have required the Interstate conj

ternational labor union heads and
their attorneys to J a tentative
draft of a bill to legalize the
rights of labor unions to trgan
iie all fields of industry despite
individual contracts between em
ployers and employes prohibiting
union membership.
The bill designed to offset the
effect of the United States sup
reme court decision in 1918 in
the Hitchman coal and coke com
pany case upholding the validity
of these contracts, will be sub
mitted at once to the executive
council of the American federa

heads were called in conference

ent of the American Federation

believed to be one of the opening
wedges in the proposed program
of the federation to counter anti

Indians Insist on their age old
Drerogative to have their herds
out on the open prairie even as
their fathers did. The Indians
also have about 2.000 wild burros
which they say they will keep.
"And when an Indian makes up
his mind," Mr. Symonds says,
"you've gt)t to have patience to
get him to change it. They are
proud of the horses and burros
for some reason and although
some of their leaders have tried
to persuade them to accept the
offers made, so far they have re
fused to Bell."
Sometimes in the isolated
mountain canyons horses . are
found running loose, but while
these might be termed wild, they
usually belong to some rancher
who has let them run loose. Wild
burros are frequent in various
parts of Arizona and occasionally
are found in Utah. But the wild
horse herds of the mountain
plateau regions have gone, prob
ably forever.

After considerable debate In
which the opponents of salary in

bill to increase the salary of the
governor. Senator Lachmund's bill

night. The increase is from $5000
to $7500. Thirty-six representa
tives voted for the bill.
Senator Moser's bill No. 24. reg
ulating Jitney lines and placing
them under the supervision of the
nubile service commission, also
passed the house. The opposition,
led by Chllds. Hubbard, and Belk

this law was intended to put auto

the control of the willing servants
of the Southern Pacific company,

Finally, it does not require a
great stretch of imagination to In
dicate that ocean vessels bound to

sengers in large numbers, as a
matter of economy in the case of
Immigrants and as a matter of
convenience, economy and pleas
ure for other passengers who will

passenger vessels bound to or
from the transfer harbor near the
state line will touch in passing

"The men who put Judge Lan

statement continued, "were de
termined that, whatever might
happen to their Investments, the

even If the whole existing organ

There never was a more serious
situation than that confronting

CHICAGO, 111., Feb. 18. As
suming that the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence waterway to the ocean
will be opened In the near future.
Col. W. V. Judson, United Dis
trict Engineers of the Chicago dis
trict has Issued a bulletin in
which he states that it does not
require a great stretch of the
imagination to picture ocean ves
sels bound to and form Chicago
carrying passengers In large num
bers, as a matter of economy in
the case of Immigrants and as a
matter of economy, convenience
and pleasure for other passengers.
In this connection he conceives
a huge harbor on the lake shore,
on the south side of this city's
present wharf.
Col. Judson's statement says:
"Port facilities to fulfill a num
ber of different functions are re
quired at any port of first Im
portance. At some great ports, as
New York, the primary function is
one of transfer from rail to ves
sel and vice versa.
"At the port of Chicago the
principal existing port facilities
may be classed as Industrial. The
Chicago industrial and commercial
district now has a waterborne
commerce of nearly 20.000.000
tons per annum (as compared
with New York's 4 5.000.000 tons),
the great bulk of which consists
of raw materials ot manufacture.
to-wit: coal, ore and fluxing
stone.
"Industrial port facilities exist
where large areas of relatively
cheap land are provided with a
reasonable amount of wharf front
and rail connection. Along: In
diana harbor canal and Calumet
river; on the lake front at Gary.
Indiana harbor and Calumet har
bor, and eventually in Calumet
lake, we have wonderful opportu
nities for industrial port develop
ment but a small fraction of which
are now utilized, although the re
sulting industrial district is one
of the greatest In the world.
"For transfer harbor purposes
involving the shifting of freights
between ocean vessels, lake ves
sels, barges, lighters, warehouses
and railway cars we need, of
course, to plan port facilities
adapted to such transfer func
tions.
"It may be plainly understood
from what precedes that industrial
port facilities and transfer port
facilities are not competitive in
their natures, but supplementary.
For example, the value of an In
dustrial harbor at Lake Calumet
would be vastly enhanced by the
presence, within easy lighterage
distance, of a transfer harbor
from which shipments could be
made to all parts of the world,
and, similarly, value is added to a
transfer harbor If materials for
water movement and export are
produced in large quantities with
in easy lighterage distance.
"When the Chicago district pos
sess In operation great transfer
port facilities where vessels will
deliver cargoes from all over the
world and receive cargoes similar
destined, it is readily to be seen
that the employment of lighters
will be upon a large and increas
ing scale, connecting the transfer
port facilities with great and small
industrial plants and with the
warehouses of merchants located

precinct of the Vanderbllts. Car
negies, Harrimans, Plants, Fricks
and other wealthy families.
One by one mansions which
housed International personages
and gave to Fifth avenue much of
Its glitter and fame, are surren
dering to commercial enterprise
and the rich are seeking homes
in new "exclusive" parts of the
city. Real estate men.who have
watched with interest this aggres
sion of trade say that another dec
ade will have wiped out the last
bit of residential excluslveness In
the avenue.
The change In Fifth avenue
was reflected in the recent pur
chase of property bordering the
tast Kiver at Fifty-eighth street
by Mrs. William K. Vanderbllt.
Sr.. where she intends to build a
home in a section known as Sut
ton square. This bit of property
is directly across from Black
well's island, where a city prison
Is located and Is almost under
neath the Manhattan approach to
the Queensboro bridge. Real es
tate men expect that Mrs. Van
derbilt's migration to the East
river will mean a new exclusive
district in a part of the city
where near-slums existed before.
Mrs. Vanderbllt; who a few
years back, helped to make Fifth
avenue history with her brilliant
social activities, said when she
purchased the East River proper
ty that Fifth avenue had "lost its
residential atmosphere, which
was its most valuable charm.
Traffic and crowds, resulting
from the trade invasion, she said.
had taken away He excluslveness
The fight to "save" Fifth ave
nue has been waged since the
late 90' when the real estate
men began to get options on pro
perty near the magnificent man
sions. Members of the Vander
bilt family and others owning
homes there expended millions In
buying up property in an effort to
stem the tide...
Much of this property was pur
chased at exorbitant figures and
after a lapse of years has fallen
back for business use. Hotelc,
banking housi. Jewelry store.
millinery and. fine tailoring estab
lishments have gradually crept
northward along the thorough
fare.

bllt is forsaking, at Filth avenue
