WADOO TAKES NEW SLASH AT R.R.RED TAPE Railroader’s Dream of “One Waybill” Becomes ‘Real- ity on May 1 BY MILTON BRONNER Special Staff Dispatch. Washington, D. C., ‘April °15.--Be- ginning May 1 a revolution will occur in ‘American freight railroading. ‘A car of goods can be shipped from New York to San Francisco or from Cleveland to New Orleans, transferred from railroad to railroad and from tetminal to terminal, ALL ON ONE WAYBILL. or years railroad men have dream- ed of this, just as they. dreamed of Standandiobal freight cars and en- 8. And jus tas it took govern- ment control cAdoo to bring about the latter, 20 i it “e eri ‘McAdoo ito put and ‘Director-General | i improv it. ‘a; as @bip-| delegate to the g aapaots Oe Papp BY PAUL PURMAN The classiest array of colts that has faced the barrier for many years will take the word in the classic Kentucky Derby to be held at Churchill Downs, May 11. This race, over a distance of a mile and a half. always brings out the great three-year-olds, but the field entered this year rivals that of any former year. In training.at Churchill Downs and at Douglas Park, the other Louisville running track, some of these colts have shown early evi- dence of great speed. When it is| ern it might be handled by four different railroads. ‘Fhat would mean four dif-j ferent waybills. Each waybill -held! good until the car reached the freight | terminal point of that particular road. | Then the car was shunted around the! terminal yards, until the clerks made! out a new veapbill and delivered it to the yardmater. ‘The latter then set his ‘forces to-work picking out this car and delivering it to the next road that was to ‘handle it. “So on along the route. % McAdoo and ‘his experts have in- vented a universal inter-line waybill, and a standard form is to be used by all roads under government con- trol. The waybill is made out in full practically once for all and travels| right with the conductor handling the ear. The. only.addition to it are stamps placed upon it by ‘junctton agents. Freight handling is thus simplified, the cost of printing many waybills is abolished and considerable clerical forces in the various terminal yards | can be done away with. | -PRESBYTERY MEETS Steele Man Named Delegate to ‘Genetal Assemibly Wilton, N. D,, April 15.—Rev. 5. A: considered that these colts are being pointed for the Derby and have not yet nearly reached their | top form, some of the trials have been remarkable. The great war is reflected in two of the favorite entries of the race. Sun Briar represents the allies. He is an English bred colt, was foaled in France and is| owned by an American. Escoba represents the Red Cross and the American army, as his owner, A. K. Alexander, a Kentuckian, is in the aviation service in France an dbecause the last purse won and Rev.

He is owned by Willis Sharpe Kilmer of Binghampton, N.Y. Last sea- son -he won °$59,500 and proved his superiority over’ every horse he ‘met.

This restraint “has been exhibited in several ways. .If.ex*Rremiier ‘As- quith had translated his judgment a- gainst conscription into a motion to reject :the government's proposal last night he might have arracyd a ma- orityj of the members of the house against it. -This would have meant w.change of government. ‘But Mr. ‘As- quith .considered that an impossible thing :to propose under the present vcireumstances, and confined himself to registering his conviction that con- serjption in Ireland would be a great mistake. /As.a:result.the minor- ity which voted ;against.. conscription. wag composed of Ixjsh nationalists and a few liberals, most of them pacifists and those generally listed as :faddists. John Dillon and Joseph ;Devlin, who have-been jointly filling John Red- mond’s shoes -as leadgrs of the Irish party, might have made.a much more troublesome fight ‘than they did. But they. refrained ‘from parliamentary ob: ‘struction and limited their ofensive to.strong words. + GOPHER VARSITY TEAMS HIT HARD BY SELECTION Minneapolis. ‘‘Minn., April 15.—An- nouncement :has been made that ‘but few. of the memhers of the ‘University of Minnesota track.and football teams will not be hit hard "by ‘the calling of the second draft.
