Bryan appeared today joint congressional committee inves- tigating transportation problems. He opposed centralization of in| theefederal government in connection power with railroad suggestions for federal incorporation and the propbsal to lessen the power of state railroad commissions by lodging greater | power of regulation in the Interstate | Commerce commission, Mr. Bryan declared his opposition was based on the belief that to transe | fer regulatory power to Washington | would impose an impossible burden | on the authorities here, inject a tre- mendous political force into national | affairs which would enter into elec- | tions to congress and would be a most decided step in cengralization | of government. As a counter proposal Mr. Bryan suggested isting law be amended | to give the national government full| power to regulate wailroads and still | permit the states to exercise their| regulatory powers, Speaking of government owner- ship, Mr. Bryan said he had for a number of years believed it inevita- ble and “only because the railroads | will never consent to cffective regu- lation.” | He spoke for federal supervision |} of sccurity issues and believed there | should be legislation to insure divi- dends sufficient to keep stocks at par and provide a surplus fund _for lean years. Before such a meaSure was y'ihak’l‘ however, he said, capitaliza- | tion should be reduced “to an Inm(‘a(‘ i | basis where it represents the actual | physical property.” In some financial | operations, Mr. Bryan said, the xail- roads had been guilty of things “dis- creditable to an ordinary highway robber.” Mr. Bryan was cross-examined briefly by members of, the commitrec and will return later for further ex- amination.

When Hans was picked up, it was found that his neck had been broken, and for a long time his life was despaired of. Finally when the vettebrae of the neck knitted together, it left his head in a stooping position and the neck. perfectly rigid—and for 40 years it has remained this way, but he has come through with a cheery disposition and an earnest desire to do something worth while. In 1886 Hans Anderson began to make toys in his room in the county hospital, and after many failures he finally made them so- well that he has continued ever since.
