TORONTO, September 29.—“We are on the job and prepared to go the limit in assisting the moving of the western grain crop. We will cut our rates to the bone, so far as consistent with good business, but it must be remembered that we are not philan- thropists.” Such is the summary of the atti- tude of the Canadian National Rail- ways toward the situation which has arisen out of the refusal of American ship owners to come under the Cana- dtan tarift-filing regulations, ex~ plained last night by Sir Henry Thornton. “Alive to Situation.” After the deadlock which resulted at the completion of the conference between the American shippers and representatives of the grain commis- sion yesterday Leslle Boyd, repre- senting the commission, conferred with Sir Henry. “We are really allve to the present situation, declared Sir Henry, “and are prepared to do everything in our power.” y: It is understood that several Amer- fcan ship-owning firms have given assurance that they will be prepared to handle Canadian wheat, with the result that more than 27,000,000 busbels will move eastward in American bote toms before the close of navigation. ——— PROBLEM OF NEGRO BEFORE COOLIDGE President Urged to Act to End Migration of Race to Northern States. The appointment of a committee of representative colored men to con- duct a campaign of education to keep the negro in the south and cut down the emigration of the colored people from the south to the north was recommended to President Coolidge today by H. L. Remmel of Little Rock, Ark., republican natlonal com- mitteeman from that state. Mr. Remmel said that it was to the advantage of both the negro and the south to curtail emigration. He said he had been told that In the last year from 150,000 to 200,000 negroes migrated north. It is understood that the President promised to take the proposal under advisement and that he was interested in the matter and requested Mr. Rem- mel to disouss it with the Secretary of Agriculture. ; Others who called to see the Presi- dent today included Senator Cameron of Arizona, Senator Harrold of Okla- homa, the minister of Switzerland, who_was presented to the President by J.

Two-thirds ‘of this distance is over flat. beautiful country, with landing fields in abundance, but the remain- ing lap Is rolling terrain covered with trees. A high-speed plane flying at a few feet above the ground would stand little chance of complete re- covery in this location in the eyent of a’'crash. In making the turn: Lieut. Ramey showed it was neces sary to cock the De Haviland over into a vertical position in order not to overfly the turning mark.

The scene of the alr meet is seve enteen miles from St. Louis on a field speclally built and filled in. Rain played havoc with the ground up until yesterday, and unless it is sufficlently hardened and dried the little Curtiss and Wright racers will not be put through speed trials uncl Sunday. West of the large area of ground are located the Army and Navy camps, comprising two hangars, each housing the spe- clal planes for the races. In the Navy hangar in addition to the Wright and Curtiss planes, ail of which will be piloted by Washington flyers—Lieut. L. H. Sanderson, Marine Corps; Lieut. 8. W. Calloway and Lieut. Harold J. Brow—is the Cur: tiss trl‘plnn!. known as the “Wasp.” Much interest has been formed in Army and NAVK circles as to the per- formance of this plane in Monday's observation race, especially in view of the fact that the Curtiss pursuit i plane, used by Lieut. R. L. Maughan in his attempted cross-continent flight of a day, has been made over into @ two-seater, and will be flown by Lieut. Wendall H.

Glading today ask- ed the District Supreme Court to pre- vent his wife, Sarah B. Glading, from selling premises 34 Rhode Island avenue northeast, which he claims he paid for, but which by mistake was placed in his wife's name.

Deviny and Charles Fahy, says he bought the property in 1906 and paid the monthly payments entirely out of his own funds. He is a laborer, he s, and did not look after the de- tails of the title transfer.

NEED OF FIVE NEW U. 5. JUDGES URGED Conference Presided Over by Chief Justice Taft Would Clear Docket Jams. Need of five additional federal judges to handle expeditiously the business of the federal courts throughout the coun- try was stressed at the conference of senfor circuit court judges, presided over by Chief Justice Taft, which ad- Journed yesterday after five sessions. Through the reports of the circuit judges, supplemented by those from th district judges and the Attorney G eral, the conference gained a compre- hensive view of the conditions prevail- ing in the federal courts. It also ar- ranged for the transfer of judges from one circuit to another for the coming year, where judges are -needed for crowded dockets. The conference found that the circuit courts of appeals were, in general, up with their dockets. With respect to the district courts, it found that the new act increasing the number of djs- trict judges, passed in 1922, had not had a tull opportunity for effective op~ eration because of the necessary time taken in filling the new judgeships. Local Rules Considered. Considerable time was taken in the consideration of recommendations to the district courts for local rules in the expedition of business, one sub- ject relating to abuses by the con- tinuance of cases by consent of coun- sel, another to undue delays in crimi- nal cases growing out of the pro- tracted examination of jurors on their qualifications to serve and a third relating to the importance of elimi- nating from the dockets of the dis- trict courts the dead cases. In each of these cases the conference formu- Iated a remedy for the evil and urged the adoption of rules by each district court to bring about a reform The conference reached the conclu- sion that there should be two addi- tional circuit judges authorized by Congress to serve in the eighth cir- cuit, which now has four. There are seventeen district courts in the eighth circuit, which covers thirteen western states. The conference was of the opinion that two additional circult judges were needed there. Equity Rules Operation. A report was submitted to the Su- preme Court by the conference on the operation of the present equity rules, for determination as to whether a commission should be appointed by the Supreme Court to amend them. The conference found the equity rules, on the whole, had worked with great success, Criticisms of the enforcement of the bankruptey law and of practices un< der it, made bar assoclations, in« €luding the American Bar Assocla- tion, and by credit men and merchants assoclations generally were referred to a committee consisting of Judges Buffington, Rogers, Baker and Bing- ham, within whose circuits are Phila- delphia, New York, Chicago and Bos- ton, respectively. The committee was authorized to confer with represénta- Itives of associations making com- {plaint, to examine the evidence and | to recommena to the Supreme Court such changes in the general rules of bankruptey and local rules of the'dis- trict courts as would remove the abuses.
