GREECE TURNS DOWN DEMANDS OFALUES
COMMITTEE IS TOLD
OE RAILROADS’ VIEWS
ON IHWOfIIiTION
A, P. Thom, Counsel for Ad
visory Committee, Discusses
Conditions Before Joint
Congressional Committee
(Sy Associated Brets
WASHINGTON, Nor. 33.—The rail
x»d view of what is the matter with
■he country’s transportation facilities
.▼ere presented to the joint conjressiona.
nvextigating committee today by Alfred
P. Thom, counsel for the railway execu
tives advisory committee.
Mr. Thom blamed the present system
jf •eorrective” regulation, divided be
tween the state and federal governments,
for most of the problems troubling the
nubile and the carriers, and appealed for
a discussion of necessary changes "not
upon any mere theory or jealousy as to
he distribution of governmental power,
-at upon the large issue ot what public
.merest requires." .
Rates, Mr. Thom declared, are less
mportant to public interest than "cer
taihty, safety and sufficiency of trans
portation.
“Under present condition under which
the railroad busines is largely controlled
by political instead of business consider
ations" he added, "railroad credit is so
poor and returns so small that adequate
extensions of lines Into undeveloped ter
ritory and enlargement of facilities are
impossible.” He said increased -trans
portation facilities would tend to reduce
the cost of living by opening up new
country thereby causing increased pro
duction.
ABUSES OF THE PAST. '
Mr. Thom pointed out that the present
system of railroad regulation had its
oegining in the abuses of the past and
was based on the principles of repres
sion. correction and punishment, rather
than on constructive principles.
'The railroads accept the view that
-emulation is a permanent and enduring
part of government in America and that
-.he first duty of the carriers is to the
public. That duty is to afford reason
aide facilities on reasonable terms and at
reasonable rates and this must be done
before any private interests can be con
sidered.”
In support of his contention that “the
first consideration of the public is to ob
tain transportation facilities” Mr. Thom
declared that when a nation wide strike
recently threatened to tie up the rail
roads, "business men would have been
willing to pay almost anything to get
their goods to the market."
“The present systems of regulation are
entirely adequate to protect the public
against exorbitant rates but are not ade
quate to Insure to the public sufficient
facilities for its present and future re
quirements."
"Less than 1,000 miles of new rail
roads have been constructed during the
past year,” he said “less than in any
year since 1848, except the period of the
Civil war, and yet the cost of living is
daily advancing owing to a shortage of
supplies which might be remedied by se
-uring access to new areas of produc
tion.”
RAILROAD CREDIT.
Among the conditions affecting rail
road credit which deter investors Mr.
Thom mentioned the following.
"Railroad revenues are not controlled
by investors but are fixed and limited
by governmental authority and not by
one but by several governmental authori
ties, which do not recognize responsi
bility for assured results to investors
and are entirely unco-ordinated.
"Railroads cannot control and the
government cannot and does not limit
the expense account.
“The present system of regulation is
based on a policy of regulation and cor
rection and not on a policy of helpful
ness and encouragement.
"The outstanding obligations of the
railroads have already exceeded the
financial rule of safety and involve a
disproportionate amount of
bearing fixed charges.
"The investor must accept a subordi
nate obligation or security with no as
surance of a surplus of earnings to sup
port it.
"Other competitive lines of investment
present superior attractions.”
. “Let us get a fair view of the prob
lew now under consideration,” said Mr.
Thom. "Let us attempt to define an
ssue that will be accepted by all as the
*ssue between those who advocate some
change in the existing system and those
who oppose any change. Those who op
pose any change must make their appeal
<->n the ground that the present system
assures the public of the continued ade
quacy of transportation facilities.
"If the public is not assured of ade
quate railrad service the question of
what are sometimes termed—l think im
properly—‘states’ rights’ are not involv
ed. for such a situation would necessari
ly mean either larger and better national
regulation cr government ownership.”

COMPLICATIONS
ARE POSSIBLE ON
SUBMARINE ISSUE
Germany’s Conduct of Under
sea Warfare Has Produced
Big Crop of Inquiries From
United States
(By Associated Brose.
BERLIN, Nov. 23.—(8y Wireless to
the Associated Press via Nov.
23.)— A period of complications may
again be impending in German-American
relations.
Germany's conduct of submarine war
fare has brought forth an abundant
crop of American inquiries, of which
Joseph C. Grew, the American charge,
recently has filed no less than ten—five
of them today.
Six remain to be answered, including
the cases of the Marina, on which a
number of Americans appeared to be
killed, and the liner sinking of
which the American government de
clares to be inconsistent with the prom
ises of the German government regard
ing the treatment of passenger liners.
The United States bases its attitude
in the case of the Arabia on the as
sumption that it was unarmed and tor
pedoed without warning and is unable
to see that there was justification for
forcing the passengers into the boats.
Washington believes the submarine
commander, on ascertaining that there
were women and children on the decks,
should have refrained from making an
attack.
Germany in the four cases in regard
to which replies already have been
made, was found to have fairly con
vincing answers, which It is believed
may put quite a different aspect on
affairs. It is pointed out here, for er
ample, that according to testimony of
her own passengers the Arabia was
armed and used her cannon; that the
sea was smooth and that other vessels
were near. It is argued that the Ara
bia, having on board a large number
of coolie war workers, should be re-,
garded as a transport.
Berlin Dispatch Stirs
Interest in Washington
(By Associated Preu.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The word
ing of the Berlin dispatch that “a period
oi complications may be impending in
German-American relations,’* aroused
much interest in official circles especial
ly as the dispatch was allowed to pass
a very stfltct censorship.
Officials refused to disclose details of
the inquiries sent to Berlin on the
around that they were only inquiries
'or fact and would have a very bad
effect on public opinion if an alarm
were given only to be shown ground
less. Many of the cases now being in
vestigated, it is admitted, may fail to
develop any violation of Germany’s
pledges, but some are known to be
serious.
In the Marina case American affidavits
seem conclusive, but no action will be
-aken until Germany's reply has been
received.

HIS BEEN DEFEHTED
G. 0. P. Candidate at Last
Concedes Wilsoil's Re-elec
tion and Sends the President
His Congratulations
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. —President
Wilson today sent a telegram to Charles
E. Jlughee, acknowledging his message
of congratulation received last night.
The president’s telegram read:
“I am sincerely obliged to you for
your message of congratulation. Allow
me to assure you of my good wishes for
the years to come.”
The White House made public several
thousand ’ telegrams of congratulations
from cabinet members, governors of
states. Democratic leaders and from
presidents of several Latin-American
republics. No messages were received
from any ot the belligerant nations.
Replying to the congratulations of
the cabinet, the president said:
"One of the best things awout the re
sult is that it means four more years
of active association in public service,
and in that we are genuinely rejoiced.”
This was taken by some to forecast
an invitation to the members of the
cabinet to remain tn office.
Former Secretary Bryan telegraphed:
“I am proud of the west. Including
Nebraska. The states beyond the Mis
souri have rallied to your support and
saved the day, and in doing so, have
honored themselves no less titan you.
They have been largely benefitted by
the great reforms secured under your
leadershi and they stand with you for
peace, prosperity and progress.”
Secretary Lane said:
“New York* may be a fuedal state but
the remaindei- of the country wishes to
be free.”
Many telegrams came from women
voters.
Text of Hughes' Telegram
Congratulating Mr. Wilson
(By Associated Press.)
LAKEWOOD, N. J., Nov. 23.—Charles
E. Hughes, Republican candidate for
president in the recent election, last
night sent to President Wilson a tele
gram congratulating him upon his re
election.
In his telegram Mr. Hughes said:
“Because of the closeness of the vote
I have awaited the official count in
California and now that it has virtually
been completed permit me to extend to
you my congratulations upon your re
election. I desire also to express my
best wishes for a successful adminis
tration.”
Willcox Also Admits
Wilson Is the Winner
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—William R.
Willcox, chairman of the Republican na
tional committee, issued the following
statement in reference to Mr. Hughes’
telegram to Mr. Wilson:
"Having conferred by telephone dur
ing the day with the Republican state
committee and the Republican national
committeeman in California, I am in
formed tiiat the official canvass of the
vote has been so nearly completed that
no change will result from the few
precincts not counted in the returns
thus far complied.
"This means that the majority for
the. Wilson electors in California ranges
from about 1,200 to 3,800 votes and
that this is the final result of the can
vass for which we have been waiting.
So far as any recount is concerned the
national committee is *not advised that
there are sufficient grounds to call for
such an application.”
Holders of some of the largest
wagers made in Wall street on
the presidential election began pay
ing the bets off today on the
assumption that there now was no
doubt President Wilson had been
elected.
Estimates of the total sura wagered
in the financial district range from $3,-
000.000 to $5,000,000.

MUN CIRRYING QUiRT OF
LIQUOR IS FINED SIUS
Luther Gloej; Pleads in Vain
When He Faces Re
corder Johnson
Luther Gioer of 441 Lee street, was
Thursday morning fined 510.75 in the
recorder’s court for violating the city
prohibition ordinance which forbids thte
carrying of whisky out of the original
package and unsealed.
Gioer, when arrested, had a quart of
corn whisky in his possession. He was
not drunk and told the judge that 1».
was for his personal use. The bottle
was unsealed.
Judge Johnson has been very strict
in the enforcement of this ordinance
and is doing all in his power to break
up whisky "toting.’ If a man is found
with a bottle of whisky out of a sealed
package he is liable to the penaltlea
under the city law.
Over $4,000 Needed
For Georgia’s Share
Os Campaign Fund
Thursday morning brought the
most liberal responses yet received
by The Journal for the fund being
raised to wipe out the 53)0,000 deficit
of the Democratic national commit
tee, while in adition to this John D.
Walker, of Sparta, chairman of the
state finance committee, reports more
pledges of subscriptions.
The amount in hand so far, how
ever, is still less than a fifth of the
55,000 asked of Georgia Democrats.
Over $4,000 more is needed, and it is
needed at once. Don’t procrastinate,
Georgians. Come on and let’s raise
our share of the deficiency and set a
precedent for other Democratic
states.
The debt incurred by the national
committee is an honest one—an obli
gation that should be met without de
lay. We have not the Wall street
millions back of us. It is a personal
debt. Every loyal Democrat ir»
Georgia should consider it so and
send in his dollar.

Railroad Lawyers and Attor
ney General Gregory Con
tinue Conference
'Bv A«Kcciat»d Press.'
WASHINGTON." Nov. 23.—Railroad
lawyers and Attorney General Gregory
continued today their conferences in an
attempt to agree on one suit involving
test of the Adamson act, to press for
early consideration by the supreme
court. The difficulty in reaching an
agreement arose mainly, it is believed,
from the anxiety of the railroad repre
sentatives to pick from the many cases
pending in federal courts, one covering
typical conditions faced by all roads.
Railroad lawyers thought the Atchi
son, Topeka and Santa Fe case, set for
hearing today at Kansas City, involved
all points at issue better than any oth
er, but departmei* of justice officials
were inclined to favor the Missouri,
Oklahoma and Gulf case, in which Fed
eral Judge Hook at Kansas City, yester
day held the Adamson act unconstitu
tional.
Selection of a test case would re
lieve the department from defending a
multitude of suits already filed, as it
Is uhderstood all railroads would agree
not to press individual suits or insti
tute new actions pending decision *in
the test case.
Adamson Law Board
Meeting in New York
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.3.—The Adamson
law commission, appointed to investi
' gate the operations of the act, held its
, first meeting here today and conferred
1 with more than a dozen railroad exec
utives for the purpose of discussing'
with them Informally the methods to be
used in the investigation.
i The commission, next Tuesday, will
hold a similar conference with the headti
of the railroad brotherhoods.
The commissioners are George Goe
thals, chairman; George Rublee, member
of the federal trade commission, and
Edgar E. Clark, of the interstate com
merce commission.
“The commission is holding an infor
mal conference with the railroad pres
idents,” said Mr. Rublee, “for the pur
pose of discussing methods as to how
our investigation of the operation of
the Adamson law is to be conducted.
I must emphasize the fact that confer
ence is simply informal. The proceed
ings will not be public. After our meet
ing with the railroad prtsldents we shall
also confer with the chiefs of the rail
road brotherhoods. The work of the
commission does not really begin until
January 1, the date the law becomes
effective, so that we cannot now say
what are our plans for the intervening
ptriod.”
• After the conference the railroad
presidents refused to discuss it and
General Goetjials said he had nothing j
to add to the statement of Mr. Rubl%e. |
