Wazhington, June 19.—When the Ca
nadian reciprocity bill waa taken up in

discussion Of the Root amendment, ex
cluding wood pulp and paper. The ques
tion arose at to whether the amend
ment con/ermed to the terms of the Ca
nadian agreement. Senator Root In
sisted that It did and criticised Senator

nounced that he would discuss both
the measure and the amendment In full

ment be laid aside temporarily. Sena

Among the Missing
Proposed to Build Spur Across
Central-ave. on Street
Level.
Recommending that a railroad grade
crossing be established In the down*
town business section, the streets com
mittee of council Friday afternoon
agreed to favorably report a petition
of property owners and tenants In the
block bounded by Central-aVe. and
Pryor, Hunter and Alabama-sts., for
the extension of a warehouse track by
the Louisville aqd Nashville railroad
across Central-ave., thru Kennys al
ley to Pryor-st. This petition did not
come from the railroad, and one of the
petitioners states the road has not
agreed to build the track, but has Inti
mated it would be constructed if per
mission was scoured from the city to
cross Central-ave. The committee’s 1
report will go to council Monday after- j
noon for action. ;

out for an aftarnoon orulta with fiva persona aboard and sines that time
nothing hat been seen nor heard of it. It is feared that as a result of. th«
Storm which raged shortly after the y started that all have been loot.
t'K't the mcmbere..of the streets com
mittee havo consented to a re-refer
ence.
c* Kennys‘alley Is n private driveway
about twenty fee* wide, extending from
ntral-ave. to Pryor-st. Stores fac
ing the south side of Alabama-st. abut
this alley In the rear. Directly oppo
site the Cehtral-ave. end of the alley
, Is a warehouse track at the Louisville
and Nashville freight house. It Is now
three feet higher than the level of Cen-
tral-ave. It Is proposed by the peti
tioners to have the Louisville and
Nashville drop this track In Its yards
to the street level and make a grade
crossing over Central-ave, The peti
tioners say this track thru Kennys al
ley will enhance the value of property
In the block for use as jobbing and
warehouse purposes, giving merchants
hack door shipping facilities, which
those on the north side of Alabama-st.
have as the result of tracks In the un
ion depot yards.
Carroll Payne, whq owns two stores
»t Alahnma-st. and Central-ave., ap
peared before the committee as spokes
man for the petitioners.
The objection to the project Is that
the establishment of a grade crossing
at this point will begin a precedent of
Permitting railroad tracks In the busi
ness district outside the established
railroad yarda. At present there are
only two downtown grade crossings—
those at either end of the union depot
In Pryor-st, and Central-ave. But re
cently there has been talk of bridging
each of these and engineers have pre
pared plans for such projects. Fur
thermore, the proposed plaza or civic
tenter, over the railroad yards, contem
plates abolishing these two grade cross
ings. The proposed grade crossing in
necessary trf begin the elevation at a
point 300 to 260 feet south, or just
nbnut where this new track would
cross. To put the new track below
grade would mean to continue the ap
proach below Hunter-st.. carrying the
viaduct a block further south and add
ing, say, 50. per cent to Its coat.
Here Is another phase of establishing
a new grade crossing. Central-are. la's
heavily traveled street at this point.
All teaming to and from the L. A N.
warehouse for the north half of the city
must cross where It la proposed to lay
this track. Heavy hauling thru Cen
tral-ave. from the north to the south
sides must pass this point. Three car
lines now use the loop track around
this block, notably the South Decatur
and East Lake lines. These street cars
would have to pass over the grade
track. There would be a danger of
freight cars getting loose In the LIN.
yards and rolling down the sloping
track to the grade crossing. Also, cars
would be switched back and forth
across the street to and from the ware
houses abutting the alley.

The
Evening
Newspaper
A canvass of 135 department stores in cities
of more than 75,000 population elicited from
102 the unequivocal opinion that the evening
newspaper is a better advertising medium
than the newspaper published in the morning.
The reason is plain to see. N
Six days of every week the morning paper
is read by people on their way to their offices,
and either left in the street car or tossed to
one side in the office. The evening paper is
.carried home. The family reads it. Its con
tents are* likely to be the subject of dinner-
table discussion. When her day’s household
labor is ended, the wife sits down with the
evening paper to read the news and search
the advertisements for bargains.
The morning paper is a soft of casual caller.
The evening paper is a visitor, a friend, coun
selor and companion. Its influence is far
stronger with its readers than the influence
of the hastily-scanned morning paper. That
is why it produces so much better results for
the advertiser.
