When the prisoner arrived here from | New York, the retired captain said, he! compieined of being sick and a police surgeon was called to examine and prescribe for him. “Wan's complaint was that he was suffering from stomach trouble and was on a diet” the retired captain stated, and was permitted to get the food which agreed with him. That was chiefly fruit. “At no time,” declared the former police official, “was Wan abused, threat- ened or beaten.

Citing the railroads’ complaint of in- creased taxation, Brenckman asserted agriculture is now paying taxes 226 per cent higher than before the war J. M. Davison, representing the com- mercial traffic managers of Philadel- phia, read a statement into the record saying the traffic managers would ac- cept an increase in freight rates with- out protest. He added, however, that they were opposed to any change in port differentials between Philadelphia and Northern seaports. The railroads’ crease was supported by C. J. Fagg, representing Commerce. Pagg said he considered the proposal an emergency measure to relieve an scute situation, and expressed the opinfon it would not stop the move- ment of traffic. Questioned by op- position_attorneys, he denied the rail- roads had solicited the support of his group. At the outset of today's hearing exhibits showing investments of $3.- 498,244,505 in railroad bonds by 55 in- ce companies and 187 mutual s banks was laid before the com- mission to bolster the railroads’ plea for a rate increase Phillip A.

Testimony of Eastern shippers in opposition to the plea was schedulgd for today, but Benson was permitted to place the exhibits in the record before the opponents got under way. Insurance companies and mutual savings banks have joined the railroads in their plea, claiming any further drop in railroad revenues wouid endanger investment of the companies and banks. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. of New York, with holdings of $708.- 177515, was by far the largest investor listed by Benson.

By remaining away from the polls and refusing to vote, the vast majority of Prussian voters were pictured as indulge in fireworks or a new political sampaign as long as the nation is strug- gling with the economic crisis.

Bruening and Curtius Return, In view of Saturday night's train wrecking mear Jueteborg, in which two passengers were injured seriously and more than 100 received cuts and bryises when expiosives derailed eight cars. the rallway police guarded closely the Mun- ish-Berlin line, on which the German officidfls returned from their conference with Premier Mussolini at Rome. They arrived early today. The speculation’ appearing in one Berlin_newspaper to the effect that the plotters belleved Bruening and mited was regarded as ridiculius by police. They pointed “out that men clever enough to handle high explosives so skillfully would hardly mistake the statesmens’ route or time of arrival. Both the Prussian governmenc of Otto Brown, Social Democratic premier, and Bruening’s rigid economy regime are believed now to be in a position to pursue a clear course for the mext fué/ months, certain that the vast majority of citizens are opposed to changing horses in midstream. Rightly or wrongly. the outer world, particularly France, would have Te- garded an opposition victory as at least unsettling, it is held, if not as a de- cidedly militaristic development in the natfon’s politics.

It is interesting to note that in the large industrial centers the retro- gression of radicalism is most marked Things move more siowly out in the country. the farms and in little com- munities. He said the plebiscite had assumed foreign political asvects far beyond its merits. and that while only loce! issues were involved, a victory for the Steel Helmets would have been interpr &S & vole against the government's policy of international conciliation. Its faflure, therefore, gave him new courage for the difficult months ahead.
