Phonograph Even John Philip Sousa, the reat bandmaster, who has no use for Phonographs, lias been forced to recognize the Phonograph as a for midable competitor. The two-step king says that people will no longer go to concerts if they can have music in their own homes so easily and so cheaply as they can with the Phonograph. This is an unwilling tribute, but it is nevertheless a tribute. The man who has a Phonograph has a concert in his own house. Even a king could not have more.

NOT READY TO OUTLINE POLICY Chief Executive is Making Inquiries on Points Pertaining to Federal Su pervision and Control of Carriers and is Studying the Question. Washington, March 20. Tho inter view between President Koosovolt and Charles S. Mollen, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, lor tho purpose of discussing the railroad situation, lasted not more. ihan thirty-live minutes. No state ment of the questions discussed was made at the white house, and Mr. MolUn declined to tall;. During the past three weeks Presi dent Roosevelt has had visits from half a dozen well known llnaueiers and railroad men, with all of whom lie has discussed various phases of tho railroad situation. These Include J. P. Morgan, .lames Spcyor of New York, President Stickney ot the Chi cago Great Western, IJ. F. Yoakum, chairman of the board of directors of the Chicago, Rock Islund and Pa cific; E. 11. Hurrlntan of the Unlou Tactile and Mr. Mellon. "All of theso persons have made speclllc recom mendations Incorporating their ideas on tho question whether tho president should lecommend additional railway legislation, and most or them liavo urged him to make a statement donn ing his attitude in explicit terms, with n view to allaying public apprehen sion. Generally, there has been but little approach to unanimity in these recommendations. He has referred his callers who want Information as to his attitude to his public declara tions on this general sttbjoet and has told men -that ho means to be consist ent with what he has already said. Tho president says frankly that ho is learning all he can regarding the railroad situation and that he intends to continue to consult with railroad people and others on tho subject. It 1h understood he is making Inquiries on some points pertaining to federal supenlslon and control of the rnil toads, to tho question of an appraise ment of tho physical valuation of such properties, mid to tho matter of Issue of various lorms of Indebtedness. As to the last named, he regards it as perfectly pioper, and ho sees no ob ! jection to a pioper issue of obligations for equipment, termlnnls and better ment, but thinks' there should ho a careful scrutiny to see thnt stocks or bonds are issued for such purposes. ! The president has not reached any , final determination as to whether he will make any recommendations to voumress for legislation on any of theso matters. The president has made It plain to his rollers that ho cannot be expected to outline his policy in Informal talks with them and that Inferences as to his attitude must not bo drawn from what ho sa's In these casual talks. "When ho has made up his mind and Is ready to tell tho public just what his attitude Is on particular questions and specifically on tho rail road Issue, ho will do so In a speech or In a mossago to congress. Somo expressions from him nro expected on tho railroad question during tho next few months. Tho president Is scheduled to make four speeches be tween now and the middle of .luito, and It is expected that ho will have something to pay on tho railroad ques tion In one of theso speeches.
