INVESTIGATION OF RAILROADS HAS DWINDLED IRREGULARITIES IN FINANC- ING WHICH U. S. SENATOR WHEELER REPORTED WAS NOT SO CLEAR By PRESTON GROVER (Ry Associated Preas) WASHINGTON, Jan. Senator Wheeler’s railroad inves- 23,— tigation, which was expected to Be so hot, has gone into the dold- rums. : The irregularities in railroad fi- ‘nancing which the Montana sena- tor told about before the hearings began don’t show up so clearly when. dribbled out in testimony. The first day of the hearings, weeks ago, brought a fair to mid- dling burst with the disclosure that an Indiana bottle-maker and an} Ohio ship operator bought control j of a three billion dolar rail em- pire for a quarter million dollars and sold control again to the Van {Sweringens for about $8,000. Showmanship Lacking People gasped at that because } ithey have managed to keep empty they thought somehow they ought to gasp. But it couldn’t compare with the comic opera sensation un- covered by the lobby committee —strings of telegraphic protests to congressmen with fake signa- tures out of a telephone direc- tory and some off tombstones, | The difference is partly show-, , manshi Wheeler, seriously mind- ed and sometimes a little bitter, lacks the lightly sarcastic touch of that ace inquisitionist, Senator Black of Alabama, But the main difference is in subject matter.

Ornate glass chan- deliers diffvse lignt over two long tables. Around one sit reporters !with banks of yellow paper in front of them. The other, in the center of the long mahozany-fin- ished room, is lined by senators and witnesses, Wheeler, sharp: ;faced, at the head. His questions, written out on a pad beforehand, are long and in- volved. He reads them accusingly, as if each was an indictment. Isn’t it true that the Guaranty company overlooked a $25,000,000 write-up in the value of Van Sweringen col- lateral and later took a $15,000,-; 000 loss on a $30,000,000 loan? Yes, a pair of bank witnesses jgoncede. Do that out in Montana, jibes Wheeler, and we would take your clothes. Well, retort the wit- nesses, Montana bankers made about as many bad loans as we did. Everypods, laughs, reporters scrib- {ble a few, notes, and Wheeler be- ; gins reading another long ques- ytion,, pyepared, like the others, a jday or so in advance. i No Front Pages What’s the result? The stories that Wheeler expected would hit page one of the big New York dailies are tucked instead back in the financial section where the readers who haunt those columns jean understand what it is all/ jabout. | Second result is likely to be that |the reform lefislation Wheeler ex- pected to whoop across ‘on a high- way of sensational headlines must be pluged through by heartbreak- ing debate while one senator after another is-educated in the ways of railroad financing. | } { APPRECIATION At this trying time it is good to know that the judge had so many fine friends in Key West, and I want in this way to thank} | yard grimness. “Think of me as withdrawn into the dimness, 1 “Remember all the best past moments, “And forget the rest.” FRANCES L.
