Regarding the railroad securities bill a difference of opinion has arisen in the minds of democratic members s to the extent of authority that hould be given the cimmission over Some think hat compulsory publicity of railroad issurances would be sufficient, while others believe the commission should Lave direct regulations of the suance of securities, As a result of this difference of opinion, together with the unusual | conditions brought about in regard to transportation requirements during the war, there is a movement among leading democrats in congress to turn the whole question of railroad securi- ties and the enlargement of the in- terstate commerce commission over to a joint congressional committee for thorough investigation and report.

Judge Hunt after listening an hour and a half of argument, an- nounced that he was unable to decide the relevancy on the evidence with- out further study and excluded it for the time being. Argument of Defense. The defense argued that the New York, Westchester and Boston was not projected for carrying on inter- state commerce and was not acquired by the New Haven for that purp<se. If the evidence is definitely excluded it will bear out testimony which rie government proposes to introduce in connection with steps taken to am :nl the charter of the road which might bring out sensational revelation of political activity. Some of the West- chester stock sold to the New Haven at prices alleged to have been exces- sive is said to have been held by prominent politicians. This company had a charter for a eighteen mile road which was built by the New Haven at a cost of $35,- 000,000, of which $11,000.000 was expended in acquiring the stock of the company, the government charges. Prevent Dangerous Competition. Although its route does not extend beyond the limits of Westchester County, New York, the government it | was projected into Connecticut for the purpose of operating a through line control was sought by the New Haven to prevent dangerous competition. R. V. Lindabury, for the defense, argued that the route set forth in the charter was re-located and that not only was the road not built be- yond the' New York state line but was not so projected when the New Ha- ven acquired control. Therefore, the road was an intrastate corporation and they did not come within the purview of the interstate application of the Sherman law. Route Was Relocated. Frank M. Swacker, of federal coun- sel, said the government would show that when the charter was filed in 1872 the Westchester was projected to connect with both the New York and New England and with the Ridgefield and New York roads. These roads were some years later taken over by the New Haven and when, in 1904, the attorney said, “the ‘Westchester began again to show signs of life its route was relocated in order to get another en route into Connecticut.” “We will show,” he added, not only was the Westchester pro- jected for interstate commerce but that it is doing interstate commerce now. It has an express contract for carrying on commerce anywhere in the United States and there is through ticketing of passengers.” After an hour and a half of argu- ment, Judge Hunt reserved decision, requesting the government meanwhile to pass on to another phase of the case. “that DON JATME ARRESTED.

ATTACK ON AMERICANS BY INDIANS FEARED All But Fifty Carranza Troops Withdrawn from Yaqui Valley.

ALLIES VIOLATED GREEK TERRITORY Overseas News Agency Says Greece Was Asked to Re nounce Her Sovereignty. Berlin, Nov. 30, (By wireless to Sayville).—The position taken by the entente allies, as reflected in the semi- official statement issued in Paris to the effect that the landing of troops at Saloniki was not a violation of Greek territory, is contradicted by the Overseas News Agency. “Reports from various sources con- cerning French and British threats against Greece fail to clear up the sit- uation,” the agency says. “However, the general tone of the news from French and British sources indicates clearly that Greece has been asked to renounce her sovereignty. “Attempts to justify this course are all in vain. M. Venizelos, the for- mer premier, had, not the right under the constitution to sanction the land- g of troops at Saloniki.
