In spite of sharp admonition from the chair, there were more hisses mingled with applause when Senator Hitch- cock, democrat, Nebraska, seconded Senator Williams’' speech. Vice President Marshall made no at- tempt to check the first’demonstration unt:l it had begun to die out, but later he twice threatened to clear the gal- leries unless order was preserved Senator lodge's address, itself un- interrupted, was aimed chiefly againet league provisions which he said would make the United States “a subject na- tion,” and ended with an appeal for the preservation of Americanism.

Washington, Aug. 12.—W: es to- day before the federal rail- way commission were - i ement that the financial situation o e com- panies was serious and probably would grow worse because of rising costs and motor vehicle competition. Remedies suggested ranged from the proposal of Mayot Couzens of Detroit for municipal ownership and operation of urban lines on the und that they were a social pmhlago vital to the health and well - . of citizens, to suggestions by ‘state ‘utilities commis sioners that revenues be increased. The commissions represented inciuded Connecticut and Rhode Island. “Mayor Couzens contended that only by sociological treatment of the mat- ter could any real approach be made toward furnishing the public with mfortable and decent” transporta- tion. For the present, the Detroit ma- yor said, he favored municipal owner- ship and operation at a reasonable rate of fare, but said ultimately he might easily come to believe that the street car lines should be as free as the highways and muintained at pub- lic expense as are the highways. Richard T.

Boston, “ Aug. 12.—Striking shopmen on New England railroads continued their balloting today on the question| of returning to work at once, pend- ing the result of the referendum vote on the question of a general strike that has been proposed foy September At Worcester 3 and Manchester and Nashua, N. H, 2 mall groups of sirik- ing shopment returned to work but in this city there was no indication of an immediate return. On the con- trary, leaders of the striking shop- men asserted that any sentiment at outlying points in favor of an im- mediate return would be more than counter-balanced by an overwhelming sentiment in Boston to remain out. There were several meetings of local organizations in this city today to vote upon the qu on of n im- mediate return but union leaders did not announce the results. It was stated tonight that more than seventy per cent of the vote on the guestion of returning to work im- mediately had been polled on the Bos- ton and Maine Railroad. The execu- tive hoards of the federations of the Boston and Maine, Boston and Al- bany, and New York, New Haven and Hartford railroads will meet here on Thursday night to tabulate the vote but i ‘it is found to be in favor of returning to work, it was announced, the men will probably not return be- fore Saturday morning. | CHARGES OF CORRUPTION IN .~ MANAGEMENT OF RAILROADS Washington, Aug. 12.—The railroad brotherhoeds ~ through their courcil Glenn E. Plumb, today laid before the house interstate commerce committee their. charges of corruption in the mandgement of the railroad under pri- vate control. The charges, announced as forthcoming a week ago, were that many of the great railway systems nad been plundered systematically by the financial interests and that. thé railroads illegally held millions of acres of public lands, Bighteen representative the \_';)ulnu', lhe‘ Lrotherhood attorney asserted, issued stcok aggregatin, $450,414,000 between 1900 and 1910 ap bonuses and paid millions of dollars in dividends on these bhonuses. These same railroads he furth charged were controlled in whole or in par by the Morgan interests, the Rocke- fellor interests and tne Fould in- terests.” Coupled with the charges which came just before the house committee closed its hearings on organized labor's bill for elimination of private capital from railroad ownership, was the de- mand by Mr. Plumb that congress make a thorough investigation of the matter so that “the American people may know to what extent it is sought to subject them to exploitation” under the other plans proposed for future disposition of the railroads. There was no.intimation as to what the course the committee might take in regard to the request for an in- vestigation. Chairman Esch, in half a dozen questions, indicated that te g0 into the charges would be traveling over old ground, as they h. d been threshed out long ago. Pre- sentation of the charges apparently failed to arouse much interest among members, as no one except the chair- man sought light through examina- tion of the witness. A. B. Garretson, former head of the Order of Railway Conductors, closing his statement begun Monday, declared with utmost frankness that if a vote were taken today thé country probably would reject organized labor's plan. He explained, however, that this would be due to general suspicion against new things, and he predicted that it would be endorsed and adopted in the no_distant future, rajlroads of ARRANGEMENTS FOR FUNERAL OF ANDREW CARNEGIE Lenox, Mass., Aug. 12.—The number of those “who will hear .the funeral rites over the body of Andrew Carne- gie at 10.30 o'clock Thursday morn- ing will be greater than was expected.
