tThe " Princess theater management
has had hard luck. Always striving
to' present pictures that may prove ot
direct local interest, the managers of
the theater made arrangements to
show the inauguration of Governor

terday afternoon the film was received
and this morning the theater adver
tised that the lilm would be shown to
day and tonight.
They always run the film through
the machine before it is shown to the
public by no means trusting to the

Transcontinental Convention
Got a Floundering Start,
but Is Was a Start.
A GENTLEMAN ; INSISTED
ON READING RESOLUTION
Others Insisted That lie Retrain
Out of Ortkx on General
Principles.
To the casual observer at the Na
tional Highway convention yesterday
afternoon It seemed that the dele
gates were having a hard time get
ting down to the actual work of de
fining the route for the Transconti
nental highway. At times it looked
as if the best of good feeling would
not prevail, s A delegate. from a . far
southwestern statu arose with a re
quest that the convention would re
spect his and his state's wishes In the
matter of defining the route through
his state. The, chairman gently ruled
that he was. out of order. The dele
gate showed a disposition to insist on
his point. The chairman (Irmly ruled
that he was out of order.
A delegate from one of the eastern
states then arose with the statement
that he wished to present resolutions
with reference to federal aid. The
document looked rather bulky, al
though typewritten. He also began a
dissertation on the subject of federal
aid, the Introduction of which Indi
cated that he would he talking some
time. Hut his remarks' were nipped In
the bud by some delegate who rose to
a point of order and with the explana
tion that the convention was there to
fix the route of the Transcontinental
highway and not to listen to resolu
tions on federal aid. The eastern del
egate came back with the declaration
that his resolutions had bearing on
the determination of the route. The
chairman interjected that if the reso
lutions had anything to do with fix
ing the route he must rule them out
of order at that time, for the reason
that the convention was not rightly
organized to consider the matter. The
gentleman of the resolutions re
torted that they had no direct bearing
on the route of that particular road
but would apply to the fixing of the
route of any road a road In New
England, In Canada, in Europe, or
anywhere else. Another delegate In
the vicinity of tine first objector sug
gested that if the gentleman would
read his resolutions instead of talking
so much about it, the convention
could judge for Itself what they were
about. The resolutions gentleman re
plied that was just what he was try
ing 'to 86."" Hot the 'Chairman - inter
posed that he must insist that tfle
resolutions were out of order if they
had any bearing on' the route; In fact,
he seemed to think that they were out
of order on general principles, al
though he did not say so. In the
meantime some one had unkindly re
marked that the road might not touch
the state of the resolutions gentleman
ut all, sort of Intimating that the gen
tleman would have nothing to do with
it, anyhow. He said he had. come
with the expectation of getting away
that night and if things were not ex
pedited he would not be able to do so.
The expression of the' resolutions gen
tleman plainly raid that nobody was
holding the other gentleman, but he
did not speak It. The resolutions
gentleman reluctautty sat down at
lust. In no wise looking discon
certed. ,
(Jetting Down to HuMln-sH.
The North Carolina delegates, segre
gated In a corner, had been very quiet
and orderly, but one now suggested
that It would be well to have a Cre
dentials committee one member from
every state to decide Just who had a
right to participate In the convention.
This appeared to meet with favor as
tending to nauow things down and
assist in the squelching process; be
sides, the delegates said that they were
going to want to vote on some ques
tions very soon and it was already evi
dent that votes "were going to count.
The chairman agreed with him but
felt that the naming of this commit
tee was going to place him In a very
embarrassing; position. The North
Carolinian replied that the Intention
of the motion was for each delegation
to elect Its own member. -The meet
ing then adjourned so the delegates
rould select the credentials commit
tee. This Vemed to take.-, at good
while, and the Hendersonvllle delega
tion, about 10 strong, left to eaten a
train. But over In one corner a dozen
men of various opinions gathered
about a big map and began arguing
about : the route. ' One man Insisted
that the road would have to go by
Memphis, since It couldn't get across
the Mississippi if It went by the south
ern route. This was a solar plexus to
his1 opponents. ?
AH the time the western North Car
olina delegate were looking tils-,
gruntiert. and In the Interim they'
gathered together and decided to have
! a convention of their own and take
jstcps to complete the Central 'high
way.

Gist of the Argument on Sub

.t itaieigii, r ei. 13. col. A. r. xnom.
general counsel for the Southern' Rail
JWay'company, began the discussion
for the railroads yesterday after Gov
ernor Craig and the commission, con
sisting of Representative E; J. Justice,
Senator W. B. Council and N. B.
Broughton, had limited the matter
for consideration to the long,' and
short haul clause and the state's pol
icy with reference to this, as declared
In a Joint resolution. The legislature
had expressed its conviction that the
long and short haul clause as In op
ertion by the railroads was . not a
sound, economic principle and went
on record as against the 1 principle,
also calling on the members of con
gress to vote to repeal the long and
short haul clause with reference to
interstate rates.
At the outset Colonel Thorn ex
pressed his regret that the matters
for consideration were so limited as
not to permit of the consideration of
many matters where there might be
a conflict of opinion and then, after
thanking Governor Craig for the spirit
In which he had welcomed .the offi
cials, proceeded to explain that a
strict compliance with the long and
short haul clause was not a sound,
economic principle. Colonel Thorn
explained, as did also President Fin-
ley, President Emerson and President
Harahan, that no one road is respon
sible for the rates Into a state from
the west for Instance and that no one
roail can change these. The rates of
a railroad are based on the density
of traffic In its territory and that ac
counts for higher rates in one aecli n
of the country than In another, he
said. . .
Mr. Flnley.
W. W. Flnley, president of ch
Southern, declared that the question
of rates was greatly misunderstood.
The Southern would be glad to 1 re-
vent higher rates at one point than
another if It could, but these rates, he
said, were based on conditions pre
vailing elsewhere. The railroad s
responsible for the rates In its terri
tory and Axes them so as to get a
measure of profit. One section i iny
have a lot of business, and its rattw
would be lower; another might have
a small amount of business, and Its
rates would be higher. .On joint '.mills
the road taking the shorter haul
would charge only Its own rate, It not
having anything to- do with the unrea
sonableness of the rate front Cincin
nati to Greensboro In view of the rate
to Lynchburp. President Flnley said
that the Southern w;ould gladly aban
don these hauls if it could. The buf-
dpn of hl' whole dlscuselon was h-
matter In Its last analysis was one for
constituted authority to determine, h
saying that he readily acquiesced In
the suggestion that the High Pohit
furniture rate cases be carried before
the interstate commerce commission.
Then he abided by the result. His
road hoped to make the other western
roads sharo In the loss resulting from
this decision. - , i
; Mr. Emerson. '
T. M. Emerson, president of the
Atlantic Coast Line, addressed himself
particularly to the question of the
long and short haul clause. ' He show
ed that a railroad to meet competition
is compelled to charge less" at a com
petitive point than It does at an Inter
mediate point; for Instance the) Coast
Line meets competition at Washing
ton. N. C, from Wilmington. Its rites
being lower there than at points be
tween those two cities where there Is
not competition. The' Coast . IJne
hauls stuff .Into South Carolina and
competes with the Seaboard at
Wadesboro, the Seaboard having a
direct line. - Mr. Emerson declared
that this question had vexed the rail
roads and thnt thoy had employed the
best talent to Work It out satisfactorily
to all. He' contended, as did the
others, that the railroads can thnt
promote their own Interests by serv
ing well the communities they cater
to. ' -
; ' Questions asked.
.Messrs. f Justice,' Council and
Proughton and Governor Craig asked
a number of questions with reference
to long and short hauls, but the re.
plies were Invariably that Que charges
are fixed by the conditions In the ter
ritory' In Which the. hauls originate.
Mr. Justice made It pain that the
policy of the state would be to em
barrass these roads for ' discrimina
tions by forcing them to comply with
the policy of the state as expressed
In the legislature. President Flnley
admitted that the nn flexible carrying
out of such a policy no greater
charge for a long than a short haul
would result In a loss In revenue of
$12,000,000 a year to the Southern.
W. J. Harahan, president of the
Seaboard Air Line, followed with an
address along the same lines, he de
claring thnt the Seaboard wanted to
serve the people' and that he had
come to Raleigh in the hope of ac
complishing something for aH con
cerned. " " ' ' '
