Staff Correspondent of the I. N. 8.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Follow
ing a lengthy conference at the White
House last night between President
Wilson and leading Democratic lead
ers, it was learned today that the so
called * ction” program of
‘the Republicans wi et stern
opposition. B .
The chief executive is understood
to have informed the conferees that
until the peace treaties are actually
completed any change in methods
might prove disastrous. As a result
it is expected an effort will be made
to cortinue the war trade board and
agencies of that character as at pres
ent and that there will be no recon
struction committee named to recom
mend iegislation changing existing
methods.
The President will outline his rea
sons for such action in his annual
message to Congress which will be
delivered at the opening of the short
session the first week in December.
At that time, on the eve of his
departure for Europe, he will make
plain the reasons that are compelling
him to make the trip abroad and in
cidentally he is expected to answer
the eriticism in his action in going.
The belief was growing here today
that the time consumed by the chief
executive abroad will be much great
or than had been anticipated when ho
let it be known that he was going
Administration officials, however, in
sisted again today that it will be in
no way necessary for him to delegate
any of his power to Vice President
Marshall. The arrangements that
are being made to keep the President
in complete touch with all that is
transpiring within the United States
all of the time he is away from
Washington are of the most elabo
rate character. The naval wireless
station will be in constant touch, In
addition a single cable line is to be
held entirely for executive business
There will be little need for the
President to be in Washington during
January or February, officials sald.
The short session of Congress will
be devoted entirely to the completion
of the revenue bill and completion of
the regular revenue measures.
AT )NP S . O T O o T P L
There will be no opportunity for
any radical legislation. Consequently,
it was pointed out, the President very
easl'y can remain in France as long
as it is necegsary to complete the
larges* planks of the peace treaty and
then can delegate his powers to
someone to remain behind to carry on
the work from the point where he left
off. Then he can get back here In
time to handle the work passed on to
him by Congress,
It is expected that a regular courser
system will be maintained between
Washington and France, What will
practically amount to a “foreign
White Honge” will be established
wherever the Chief Executive Is quar
tered, and messengers will make the
trip back and forth across the ocean
in fast vessels that will §o fu use by
the navy transporting supplies one
way and returning soldie-s tho. other.

3 Atlantans Caught
In Unique Raid on
.
Dawson County Still
According to W. Paul Carpenter,
Assistant United States District At
torney, J. A. (“"Russ’”) Hubbard, one
of the best known men of Dawson
County, and founder of Hubbards
ville, who was arrested several
weeks ago, charged with abetting
the sale of blockade whisky, will
be placed on trial before the end of
the present term of courf
Hubbard is a merchant and farm
er and is reputed to be very
wealthy. He was arrested following
a raid in which the revenue officers
under D. J. Gantt, revenue agent
for Atlanta, captured three Atlanta
men, Jim Thompson, Mangum Wil
son and E. J. McGill, the latter a
san of Detective McGill, of the At
lanta force.
The raid was one of the most ple
turesque ever staged in Dawson
County, famed as a rich hunting
ground for the revenue men. A
half dozen officers from Atlanta
stopped at Hubbard's store on the
afternoon of the raid long enough
to leave a false clew as to where
they intended to spend the night.
They then returned to the store and.
crawling beneath it. listened for
several hours to Hubbard dickering
with moonshine customers, they say.
From the conversation, the offi
cers say, they learned the location
of the still to be visited, and pre
pared an ambush. The three Atlan
ta men, a seven-passenger automo
bile and about 60 gallons of block
ade whisky were taken in the trap.
Following his arrest, Thompson
- made an affidavit baring the whole
- operation. All the men are under
indictment by the Federal Grand
Jury.

Food Violators To
Be Shown No Mercy
Violators of the Federal food adminis
tration regulations will be given no
mercy in future, nor will contributions
to various charities and war work bodies
save them from more rigorous penanres,
was the message heing sent out to coun-
Xtiy’; administrators Wednesday following
the conference at the State Capitol. The
administrators were belr_\y urged by Dr.
A. M. Soule, State administrator, to use
every effort toward further conservation.
Dr. Soule impressed upon the r'-my
officials the fact that the dawn of eace
by no means brings relief in the food
situation, for many millions of huniry
Europeans must be fed by America this
winter,
R. W. Boyden, representing the Fed
eral administration, declared in his ad
dress Tuesday afternoon that a greater
food problem faces the country now than
while the war was being fought, and
sounded a warning against a slackening
of the efforts for food saving.

luxpress Rate Increase
Ordered by McAdoo
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov, 20.—Increases
in express rat’s in the territory north
of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers and
east of the Mississippi River, nnging
from 16 to 17 cents per 100 pounds,
and inc.eases in the rates throughout
the rest of the United States, ranging
from 10 to 12 cents per 100 pounds,
were ordered today by Railways Di
rector McAdoo.
The Increased express rates were
inaugurated in order to raise an ad
ditional revenue of $24,000,000, half
of which will go to railroad revenue
and half to express revenue. This
amount of additional revenue is made
necessary hy the increase in wages,
aggregating $10,000,000, granted to
express company employees on July 1
last. This increase in wages entirely
exhausted the additional revenue de
rived from a 10-cent increase in ex
press rates authorized by Director
McAdoo on July 15, it was stated.
The increase granted today was au~
thorized by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, after officials of the
commission had closely studied the
urgent recommendations of Director
McAdoo. When Mr. MecAdoo an
nounced Government control of the
express companies, he said he would
seck an increase in rates,
Officials of the railway administra
tion today said that they expected a
trans’er of an enormous amount of
traffic from the express companies as
the result of the increased rates. That
was explained that the traMe lost by
the express companies will undoubt
edly go to the motor truck and freight
sevice, A rellef from an extremely
congested codition of the express sys
tems is also expected to follow the
increase, ¢
It was pointed out by oficials that
the low express rates in many sec
tions of the country had induced peo
ple to overload the systems with their
