WITH NEW BODY
Democratic Leaders Virtually
Give Up Hope of Holding
Necessary Hearings
Washington, Dec. 5. The next
Congress, a Republican one, will de
termine the future of the railroads.
This was assured when Democratic
Senate and House leaders, aware of
the legislative task ahead of them,
v irtually gave up hope tf being able
to hold the necessary hearings In
rommittee to thresh the matter out
thoroughly In both branches of Con
gress and to pass a bill to cover the
railroad situation.
It was considered by these leaders
that as many big appropriation and
reconstruction measures as well as
Ihe revenue bill, on which there Is a
bitter fight, will have to be passed
upon between now and March 4, ma
ture deliberation could not bo given
to the railroad problem which it de
serves.
There Is a possibility that the Sen
to interstate commerce committee
will begin probing into the railroad
situation. If it does the railroad
question will go no further this ses
sion. So far as the House is con

the railroad matter rest until the next
Congress is called.
In their decision to let the railroad

statement made by the President yea
terday Indicating that he did not ex

until the spring. The present rail

When tho matter Is finally taken up
It Is expected to occupy attention for
several months. There la no opposi
tion discernible against giving the
railroad problem full consideration, as
the President, has virtually assured
Congress that he will approve what
ever couise Congress takes. It Is the
desire of Congress to hear the Rail
road Administration, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the railroad
executives and the railroad owners as
fully as possible.

that no general embargoes such as
those placed for many winters past

a statement Issued yesterday by Di

The Director General declares that
comprehensive plans made last winter
for freeing congested areas of addi

the heavy business this fall and that
there are not now outstanding any
general embargoes against the free
movement of traffic.

Bright Green Vest Was ,
Undoing of Man Wanted
to Face Murder Charge
How a bright green vest brought
Philip Goslin, colored, of Sykesvllle,
to the bar of justice to answer the
charge of murder which he is said
to have committed two years ago,
was revealed this morning by John
C. Metzheiser, police of the
Bethlehem Steel Company plant at
Steelton, who hired the negro to
watch the sweetheart of Willie Pal
mer, who is wanted for the murder
of Joseph Gordon, in Steelton, sev
eral days ago.
According to Metzheiser, Goskin,
I who was living at Locust Grove and
forking at the Steelton coke plant
under the name of Joseph Stillwater,
was standing at the Pennsylvania
railroad station resplcndant In a
bright green vest, watching for the
dusky maiden who was to lead him
to the lair of the hunted alleged
murderer. According to bystanders,
the Pennsylvania station itself wasn't
any more conspicuous than that
green vest.
Mr. and Mrs. John O. Brown en
tering the station on their way back
to Sykesvllle, "where they live, saw
the green vest, which riveted their
gaze, and then their eyes traveled
up the brilliant vest to the flare neck
tie, up the dusk> neck until—
"Why, that's J*hll Goskin!" ex
claimed Mrs. Brown. "And he's still
wanted for murder at home.
So Patrolman Hollands was called,
the negro was arrested and Sykes
vllle authorities notified. When
Sheriff Edward Miller, of Westmin
ster, Md., arrived at the Jail he iden
tified the man at once and took hint
back to the Westminster jail.

ROYER WARNS OF
GROWINGDANGER
Crowds at Christmas Time
Are Liable to Spread In
fluenza Abroad in Land
Shop early, avoid crowds and
nvert Ihe dunger of contract
ing Influenza, Is tho warning sound
ed to tho Christmas shoppers of the
state by Dr. B. Franklin Royer,
Acting Commissioner of Health.
With tho approach of tho holiday
shopping season, said Dr. Royer, too
much stress cannot bo laid on tho
necessity for tho public to avoid
crowding*, in the Btores, many of
which are poorly ventilated at best.
Tho influenza danger has not passed
and reports from various sections
of the state show that the disease
1B continually flaring up in many
communities and will probably be
with us throughout the entire win
ter. I doubt if there is a com
munity, large or small, in the Com
monwealth that can truthfully bnaßt
that it is absolutely free from this
disease.
Influenza is spread largely by
droplots caused by sneezing, cough
ing and spitting and it is a disease
spread in crowds and in poorly ven
tilated places. Therefore, the un
usual and unnecessary crowding so
common tn the stores during the
Christmas shopping season is sure
to result In an increased number of
influenza cases unless the people will
protect themselves. Let the Christ
mas buying begin at once. Those
persons who are habitually eleventh
hour shoppers will do well to re
member this warning. The store
keepers should co-operate by be
ginning at once to display their
special holiday goods and to hire
a sufficient sales force to handle
the Increased business without tax
ing the capacity of their clerks and
necessitating their Risies being
crowded with anxious people.
A recurrence of the recent terr
ible epidemic would be a sad \ end
for the approaching holiday sedson,
and this can be prevented if the
people will avoid conditions which
tend to spread the Influenza.
Show Little Desire
For Old Home Towns
Cnnip Meade, Admiral Md., Dec. 5.
Having failed to see France many
men ure acting upon an impulse to
try Baltimore, Philadephla and Wash
ington flrst as a .place for employ
ment rather than to go directly back
to their home towns. Of 600 who
bought tickets 137 decided to go to
destinations other than those from
which they came. By doing this they
had to pay the full rate. That so
many men, rejoicing in the opportun
ity to go hack home, should decide
to venture elsewhere was a surprise
to many.
There are men from every state in
camp now, many especially from the
far west and far south. It is certain
that many home folks are going to
be disappointed.
