Bepreseatatlves from South Atlantic
tad Central weatera states, before the
railroad administration, Senator Sim
: mans made another appeal ia behalf of
giving to Wilmington aad other South

rlvea North Atlantic ports. After the
earing satisfactory assurances were
vea by the ' representatives of the
illroi AdiSlnWratttin before -whom
tha hearing held that these rates Would
be readjusted upon a basis of equality.

Ssaator Simmons maintained that this
was tot a temporary condition, although
H Irst became acuta during tba war,
but unless relieved would become per
manent, .retarding tba axpaasloa of in
' dustry and producing stagnation,, lie
- insisted tba only quick and efficient way
to relieve this situation was to open
tha Southern ports and allow this tea flic

Senators Call Oa President
Senators Bwanson, of Virginia, who
delivered tha keynote speech ia defence
of the treaty, held a rouferenee with the
President today, as did Seaator Cham
berlain, of Oregon, Senator Owca, of
Oklahoma, and 8enator Pomerene, of
Ohio. Each one of these extended aa
invitation to the President to visit bis
State upon some special occasion, and
an Interesting feature connected with
these individual conferences is the fact
that the President and Senator Cham
berlain, between whom there had been
a perceptible coolness, following a point
ed: statement by the President early
la the war, had evidently reconciled
their differences aad that tliey are now;
