I lean to the Individual idea rather than the collective. I believe in individual ownership excopt where competition is impossible.” Federal incorporation of railronds would lead inevitably, by its abuso, Mr. Bryan declared, to Government ownership. Questioned by Senator Newlands, Mr, Bryan sald: “Some railroads have been guilty of things that would bring discredit on an ordinary high- ‘way robber.” | A railroad, said Mr. Bryan, should be permitted just enough revenue to keep its stock at par “as stable as a Government bond.” “Don't you think the people Jove! and admire the ratiroade?” asked Representative Adamson. “You put it a little stronger than I would,” Bryan roplied, smiling. “I think they separate #ome officials from the ratiroads they love.” ‘ “There are 160,000 miles of road, Mr. Bryan continued Alfred P. Thom, representative of the railroads. “There are 250,000," responded @ committeeman. "The ratiroads’ revenues are moro than those of the government,” Bryan etated, “I don’t know just bow much.” “Three times,” the committeeman ald. Telling how ho saved 85 cents on one railroad trip by buying a ticket to an intermediate point and then getting another ticket instead of going right through, Bryan upheld naming of in- trastate rates by States. “Ratlroada are like people,” braskan went on, “selfish, looking after themselves, ‘roy are powerful enough to Influence Senators and members of Congress, With Fed- eral control the railroads would be Interested In the election of every Sen- ator from every State. “When I want to try to raise a man from the dead.” he remarked, “Vit try a dead man; I won't kill @ man to do it.” When the hearing adjourned com- mitteemen were not through with titer biased, ey | MTCHEL GORE | 1) WHITNEY INQUIRY | ON TRACK BURAL _e Declares He Will Not Answer. Call to Testify About West Side Improvement. Mayor Mitchel announced to-day that he would ignore Public Service Commissioner Travis H. Whitney in the formulation of plans for the west side improvement and the burial of the New York Central tracks along Riverside Drive. | Mayor Mitchel and Whitney fell out when Whitney blamed the Board of BDstimate, of which the Mayor is head, for delay in subway work, This was during the Thompson investigation, The bitterness was intensified when the Estimate Board, by a unanimous vote, decided to investigate conges- | tion in the subways following the big | strike. This was a direct slap in the | face at the Mublic Service Commis- sion, which pays five $15,000-a-year commissioners to look after the sub- ways. Commissioner Whitney wrote the) Mayor yosterday notifying the Board ot Estimate that it must be prepared to testify regarding the merits of the weat side improvement plan before the Public Service Commission. The request atated that it was made at tim instance of a number of Bronx residents who want better transit facilities. “Will you appear before the Public Service Commission in response to Commissioner Whitney's letters?" the Mayor was asked “L received Commissioner Whitney's letter to-day,” the Mayor replied, “and I took the trouble to find out | whether {t represented the sentiments of the Chairman of the Public Service Commission or the majority of the commission. I find that it did not.” “Then you will not grant Mr. Whit- ney's request?” “Twill Ignore Mr. Whitney,” the Mayor emphatioally replied “I may sony) MOTHER'S REMEDY FOR BRUISES Children’s Bu Sprains and Minor Hur ickly Relieved by SI Liniment.
