ably be the plea Of Karl Hau. the
young professor formerly q member
Of the faculty of George Washington
University, Washington, who was
placed on trial today. Despite the
fact that Hau has been examined and
pronounced sane BY commission Of
alienists, the theory Of mental ire
sponsibility will almost certainly be
brought forward by the defense. This
is evidenced by the fact that Hau's
attorneys have engaged Professor
schaffenburger, Of Cologne to testify
in the case.
Sensational charges against the Ger

treatment since his incarceration in
the prison here have been made by
his American friends and may be aired
during the trial It Is alleged that the
officers have used every method Of di-
abolical torture in their efforts to make
the youthful professor confess to hav-
ing murdered his wife's mother at
Baden-B Baden last November.
Hau's chances Of being acquitted
have been greatly lessened BY the sui

Senator Patterson Advocates Federal
 Cantrol 0f Railfnmds.


 Washington. Feb. 27,--Senator Pat terson of Colorado. adressing the Sem ate today, made plea for Government ownership of railroads. He predicted that such a condition would be brought about within the life time of the pres ent members of tiie Senate, but did not anticipate any speedy action in that direction.
 The railroads, he declared. are grow ing more arrogant each year, and as he saw little or not relief in the new rate law. Government control of the roads would supply the only remedy. To show che value of his idea. Mir Patterson presented figures from hfty-nine eoun- tries showing the presence of Goyern- ment ownership in some form, and he saw a steadily-inereasing sentiment in that direction so far as the United States is concerned. sk
 American roads he valued al $ti,00o,- 000, 900 and SIP, 900, ,00e, ,000s They could be obtained by condemnation proceed- sngs, the financial end being covered by 6 mortgage backed by the Govern ment guarantee.
 Mir. Patterson rldiculed the idea that a vast political machine would be built up through Federal operation ef roads. As a matter of fact. he declared, rail- roads politics would be abolished. Among the benefits to be gained through ownership. Mir. Patterson men, tioued extension of the postal system. postal express are equitable rates.
