MAJOR GARDNER TO BE Bra IN ARLINGTON Former Congressman Died or Pneumonia at Camp Wheel ; y - er Lafc Monday Macon, . Ga., Jan. 15. Preparations ' were complete today to take to j Washington the body of Major Au- j gustus Peabody Gardner, . former Represeatative-ln Congress of the i Sixth " Massachusetts district, who i died of pneumonia at Camp Wheeler ( here late yesterday.

Federal authorities having to do with transportation and distribution of raw materials and fin ished products are seeking every available way for relieving congest ed conditions on. railroads, .arid , nat urally they are turning toward fwa ter routes as' the solution of the problem. Nort h Carolina's Con gressmen are co-operating with rep resentatives of the city of Wilming ton in bringing the advantages of this port to the attention? of gov ernment officials, and this is meet ing with a considerable degree of success, according to reports sent out from Washington within the last Lweek or 10 days. In connection with what' has already been' published, tbe4 following . from S. K. Winters, Wash ington correspondent;; Sunday's News and Observer, is of some inter est: ' '::') "Secretary tWilliam McAdoo v has intimated to Senator' 'F,V U. Sim mons that Wilmington, N. ' C, ' r wljl be named as ah. important port tp relieve the congestion of freight in the country. In . an exclusive inter view with the l?ews and; Observer representative today Senator Sim mos indicated the result of his con ference with Secretary McAdoo as to the availability of Wilmington and the lines along which the Di rector General of Railways is pro ceeding to handle the country-wide problems. - "'Secretary McAdoo is securing dataabout the matter,' said the Sen ator. 'He is conferring with the shipping board, and he finds the problem of freight congestion a se rious one. We have to use our own ships to move the freight at the ports of entry. We cannot divert foreign ships for this domestic purpose. "Secretary McAdoo is working with the shipping board with regard to port facilities. And whjle the fa cilities at Wilmington and other port entries may be ! ample for the present, the future demands .have to be anticipated somewhat. " 'The Secretary is lending his en ergies to work out the problem of re lieving the congestion through the utilization of these ports, and no doubt in a very short time some thing tangible will be adopted look ing to their use. "In this matter, as In all otlher things, the scarcity of ships is oriNe of rthe troublesome factors of the problem. Another element of diffi culty is the lack of adequate facili ties -at many of these ports for quickly loading, unloading and coal ing any very large number of ships.'
