Congressman Faison Charges
"Poor Service.
Hearing Here Before Interstate Com
merce - Commission Examiner onf
Transportation Facilities
for Truckers. - ..-' -
Having for its object an improve
ment of. transportation conditions -for
the truckers and fruit growers of this
section, a hearing was held here yes
terday in the Federal Court room be
fore G . P 1 Boyle, of : Washington, D
C, examiner and attorney for the Inter-State
Commerce Commission, and
today a hearing will be held at Mount
Olive and -tomorrow - at ; Newbern
These meetings , with the truckers
were arranged at the instance of Con
gressman John M. Faison,' of the. Third
district, who was here yesterday, 'and
will also attend the other hearings.
Congressman Faison was the first
to take the stand yesterday and he
aevotea tne larger part of an hour to
lambasting the railroads good and
proper. He traced the growth of the
trucking industry from its earlier
stages some 30 years ago until the
present. He declared that the rail
roads had effectually throttled the in
dustry by their inadequate service,
and that as a direct result of this
many had gone out of the business.
When he harked back to the days of
long ago Ueorge B. JSlhott, Esq., as
sistant general counsel of the Atlan
tic Coast Line .obiected on the.eround
that what had happened 25 or 30 years
ago or even m l9Uo was not germane
to the present conditions, but Con
gressman Faison declared his inten
tion to make his statement, and show
cause why he thought that the people
had not been given a square deal.
He called attention to r the .fight
which the Atlantic . Coast lane bad
made on the "Jim Crow." law and also
on the 2 1-2 cents Dassensrer rate, and
showed how botSi .iad . been .' to their
advantage as, he said, the last state
ment of their net earnings showed
their profits for the last year to have
been $10,500,000. While, this road had
been growing richer and richer the
people of his district,, he said, had
been growing poorer and poorer be
cause of the treatment they have re-.
ceived from the roads.
The doctor declared that he was go
ing to stand by the xpeople whom he
had served for 27 years as a physician,
and who had elected him to Congress.
He had been sent to the House of
Representatives, he said, because he
had stood by their interests, and he
was eoing back again on the same
platform. "
Wilmington, he declared, was bot
tled up completely and effectually by
the Atlantic Coast Line, and as a re
sult she is poor and far from being
the city that she should be. The rem
- edy needed is cheaper rates, he said.
The railroads and the people, he con
tinued, must co-operate in order to de
velop this section into what it should
be. . '
He saw little need in advertising
this section as the garden spot of the
world when it was impossible to get
the vesretable and fefruiti crops- to-mar-
ket in time to get a price that would
yield a profit. He cited several in
stances of long delays in snipment,
these being in 1907 and in 1905. He
also called attention to an incident in
Beaufort last Summer when fishermen
were unable to dispose of all their
cargo of fish because they could not
get them to market.
He was opposed to government own
ership of railroads because if this
were done they would pass into' the
hands of cheap politicians, and the
last condition would be worst than the
first. The government, however, he
declared, is goitfg to furnish relief, and
he said that he was going to stand
by the people until they, did get relief.
Following "Congressman Faison, Mr.
W. W. Pearsall, a shipper of Rocky
Point, was called to the stand. He
cited a dozen or more instances of de
lay in the transportation. In some
cases there had been loss on account
of improper refrigeration, but for the
most part he thought that the. great
trouble was the delay in getting tha
products to the market.' Many of .the
delays occurred North of Washington.
Ha was esnecially emphatic in his
condemnation of the express ship
ments which, were sent to Baltimore,
these in many cases being sent to New
York and then brought back to Balti
more. He said the express service
was "rotten."
Following Mr. Pearsall's testimony
a recess was taken until the after
noon when Mr. Z. W. Whitehead,
editor of the Southern Truckers' Jour
nal, was called to the stand. He gave
a thorough and comprehensive out
line of the trucking situation. He
was of the opinion that the conditions
had greatly improved within the last
several years, and said there had been
no serious shortage of cars since 1905.
Mr. W. E. Springer, president of
the Eastern Carolina Fruit Growers'
Association, was of the same opinion
as Mr. Whitehead. He went into the
matter fully, and was able to give the
examiner many important facts with
reierence to -the conditions" as they
exist and have been for the last sev
eral years. He was of the opinion that
the solution to the question was the
securing of proper marketing facili-.
ties. ,
Mr. H. T. Bauman, secretary of the
Truckers and Fruit Growers Associa
tion, also gave an outline of freight
conditions as he had found them in
his exuerience as an official of -the or
ganization. Mr. H. Dingfelder, a com
mission merchant of New York, also
testified as to conditions. The hear
ing consumed the whole of the . day.
It was noticeable for . its lack of
truckers in attendance. Congressman
Faison said that it was due to the fact
that they had been made so .poor by
the railroads that they were unable, to
attend. '
Congressman Faisdn and Examiner
Boyle left last night for Mount. Olive,
and there will be another hearing there
today. : Tomorrow tlfey will be at
Newbern. . . : ' . ; . ... , ' ;

CONSIDER FREIGHT RATES CALENDAR OF CIVIL GASES
Executive Committee of New Hanover
Just Freight Rate Association
. Met Yesterday Particulars.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the New Hanover Just Freight
Rate Association was held in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday morning for the purpose of
selecting a delegation to attend the
re-organization meeting of the State
Association to be held dn Greensboro.
It was found that the officers of the
local association could not attend the
proposed meeting Ion "Wednesday of
this week, and President Tate, of
High Point, was wired to, change the
date. "' ' v
Mr. J. G. McCormiek, a member of
the State advisory board, received a
message from Mr. Tate last night
stating that on account of the unabili
ty of some members to attend the
meeting at the time set the date had
been, changed until next Tuesday, De
cember 2nd. At this time it is ex
pected that all the officers of the lo
cal branch of the association will at
tend. Mr. J Allan Taylor, president of the
New Hanover oranch, was instructed
by the executive committee yesterday
to write Governor Craig a letter rela
tive to the proposed suit to be brought
before the Inter-State Commerce Com
mission for. the purpose of having
Wilmington made a basing point for
freight rates, and thus be placed on a
parity with Norfolk as a receiving
port for freight. It was also brought
out in the discussion that Cameron
Morrison, Esq., of Charlotte, and J. O.
Clark, Esq., of Wilmington, had been
appointed by Governor Craig as coun
sel for the State to represent Wil
mington in this fight before the Com
merce Commission.
It was decided at the meeting yes
terday to have a meeting of the asso
ciation at as an early date as, possible
to which all citizens will be invited
to attend. At this mass meeting
there will be a full and complete dis
cussion of the Justice Intra-State
freight rate bill, for the purpose of
defining the position of the New Han
over Association towards this act.
When President Tate first named
the advisory board for the North Car
olina Just Rate Association Mr. J.
Allan Taylor was appointed a mem
ber from this district. Later it was
decided that it would be best-to in
crease the membership of this board,
and Mr. J. G. McCormiek was added
as the second member from this district.
President Tate in a recent inter
view with reference to the re-organization
of the State Association, had
the following to say which will be of
interest :
"I again call upon all persons who
are interested, to send to me or to our
traffic secretary, Mr. Ryan, any and
everything bearing on the question of
reasonable and just intra-State freight
rates. It should be remembered, of
course, that the commission is to deal
with no other rates than those cover
ed by the Justice bill.
The Just Freight Rate Association
will be permanently organized at
Greensboro next Tuesday afternoon,
"after which time we hope to be in po
sition to be of vast aid to every agri
cultural and commercial interest in
theJState,- in the imatter-of - securing
tor our people generally, rair ana just
freight rates on aX classes, of busi
ness and from all . sections of the
country. There will always be a work
for such an organization to perform
and now when it has been-so clearly
demonstrated that by co-operation we
can. do things, there should never he
any question about being able to
maintain the association on a broad,
sound business basis."

WON'T PAY OVER TEN CENTS
Housewives' League Go on Record in
Opposition to Increased Price of .
Milk To Make Inspection.
To refuse to pay 'more than ten
cents a quart for milk was unanimous
ly voted by the ladies . of the House
wives League atr their regular meet
ing held in the Elks' Temple yester
day afternoon, at 4 o'clock. This ac
tion was taken as the result of a pre
liminary, report mader by a' committee
appointed at the last meeting to in
vestigate into the reasons assigned by
the dairymen for. increasing the price
to 13 cents a quart.
A comprehensive report was made
by the committee but the members
were not discharged as there are oth
er phases of the situation which the
ladies desire to look into. The resolu
tion made yesterday excepted the Echo
Dairy Farm, which, it . is "said, fur
nished milk especially prepared for
the use of invalids and babies.
Whiel the report of the committee
was not made public it Is understood
that they found from their investiga
tions that, although, feedstuff s have in
creased in price, they are not now
higher than they were- three years
ago, and they found further that there
is ah extravagant waste of labor, and
that in other ways the dairymen are
wasteful1 in their methodR of ...market
ing: v- r- 'it:-i:;-(
The president of the league, Mrs.
William Latimer, presided yesterday,
and there was a large attendance. -A
number of new members were enroll
ed. '- ''-''
Several committees1 were appointed
the most important of these being the
one on inspection of the markets, gro
ceries and all places handling food-,
stuffs and soft drinks.
Tried for Reckless Running.
Mr. Louis Bornemann had a hearing
before Justice Harrlss yesterday on
a charge of reckless running of , an
automobile on the night of October 2d,
when it was alleged that he ran into
Mr. Chas. Borkenhagen in Eiast Wil
mington ; as he was returning to his
home from Wilmington, causing Mm
serious bodily ; injury,-, breaking up the
wagon in which he was riding and
badly hurting the horse which he waS
driving. Mr. Borkenhagen v testified
that Mr., Bornemann was the man that
ran into hini. ' Messrs. Robert Reeves
and Ed Craft also testified in the case.
Justice iHarriss reserved his decision.
An unsuccessful effort to hold up
and rob Mr. Dan R. Ruark, manager
of the Cape Fear Cash Grocery Com
pany, was " made by ; a -negro highway
man at Eighth and; Orange streets a
few minutes of 1 o'clock Sunday; morn
ing as Mr, Ruark, who left his store
at , midnight, was oh "his way to his
home at No. 215 South Eighth street,
from his! mother's residence at No. 807
Orange street, a distance of about a
block. . : . . ::.i;;;ft " ' . -
As hecrossed -fronV the north side
of Orange street into J Eighth, Mr.
Ruark . observed a nian' lurking in ths
shadows' of a large tree ou the west
side. of. Eighth street, near the inter
section, of, . Orange. : Cutting diagonal
ly across Vthe street, the man came
upon the sidewalk on the east side
of Orange street about 10 feet behind
Mr. Ruark. Just before reaching the
sidewalk the man called to Mr. Ruark
to stop. Instead of stopping Mr.
Ruark, who was unarmed, started on a
run for his home, whieh was only
three doors away. The negro, for he
was a negro as far. as Mr. Ruark wa3
able to tell, started in pursuit with
revolver drawn ready for action. And
it was not the highwayman's fault
that the revolver did not act. Mr.
Ruark turned his head to measure
mentally the distance intervening be
tween himself and the highwayman
and just as he did the negro pulled the
trigger, and Mr. Ruar.k heard the pis
tol snap; He quickened his pace, and
a few steps brought liiin in front of
his home. . The negro i soon gave up
the chaseaf ter his revolver failed to
work, and;darted into an alley leading
from Eighth street. Itis thought that
the negro Continued through the alley
as dogs ' were heard barking at the
other end of the alleyra few minutes
later. Persons living" in the vicinity
were awakened by the dogs.- v
The plainclothesmeri ' of , the police
force are at work on 'the cage. Mr.
Ruark thinks he knows the man who
tried to hold him. up '-'and he has con
fided his suspicions to the city secret
service men. Evidently the purpose
of the negro was robbery. He would
not have gotten much, however, as
Mr. Ruark had only 20 cents in his
pockets at the time he was accosted.

Phillies Consider the Best Proposition
From This Town.
The following is from Saturday's
Philadelphia Record with, reference to
the decision of the management of
the Phillies to train here next season:
"The Phillies will train at Wilming
ton, N. C, next Spring. Business
Manager Shettsline, who is bossing
things around the Phillies , omce, with
President Baker and Boss Dooin out
of town, announced this to the world
yesterday. The world, up to the time
of the announcement, had sort of fig
ured that the Phillies-would train at
Southern Pines.
" 'Shetts' did business directly with
the Wilmington Board of Trade, who
offered the most attractive induce
ments the Phillies received from any
Southern town. They include a mod
ern ball ground, with a turf infield,
and a new grandstand seating 2,500.
The Phillies also are to receive the
gate receipts that may be taken in
for games played. The Phillies will
start for Wilmington on February
