TROLLEY LINES ASK
TO Be LET ALONE
Protest to Senate Committee
Against Being Included in
Any Proposed Legislation.

4 vigorous protest against the in
clusion of electric trolley lines in the
scope of any trust legislation, which
may be passed, was lodged with the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee
loday by representatives OF the Amerl-
can Electric Hallway Association. A
protest along similar lines for the
smaller telephone lines was made by r.
IS. Mackinnon, OF the National lnde-
pendent Telephone Association.
That less tnan l per cent OF the en-
tire business OF the trolley lines ot In
d'ana was interstate business was the
contention of Arthur W. Brady. OF
can Electric Railway Association. He
declared he believed II would be less still
in other States where the trolley sys-
TENS were not so highly developed.
He told the committee there we're
about $500 miles of trolley system now
in the United States. In 1907. he said,
there were 5000 miles, operated by sO4
companies, with an average capitaliza-
ton of si00,495 mile. His plea was
that all of these companies practically
confined themselves TO a local intra-
state business, and that they were very
much regulated by the States in which
they did business. Indiana, he said,
even regulated the security issue Of its
traction lines.
Others who urged against the in
clusion OF electric lines were Bernard
r. Weadoeck, Of the Detroit United
Lines; J. NJ. Barrett, of the Fort Wayne
and Northern Indiana Company, and
Charles L. Henry, president OF the In
dianapolis and Cincinnati Traction
Company.

BRYAN WATCHING
GERMAN SOCIETIES
Dash Into Dominion to
Cripple Canadian Pacific,
Said To Be Planned.
From Tie Tribune Bureau

Washington, Sept. 22.-Secretary
Bryan is again considerably worried
over the Vaccinations of certain Ger
man societies in this country, notably
the Saengerbund, with headquarters in
Cincinnati, which, IL is alleged, con-
templates grave violation Of the neu-
trality policy Of the United States as
laid down by President Wilson.
The British Ambassador. Sir Cecil
Spring-Ricc, called at the Department
of State yesterday and laid before Mr..
Bryan evidence he had received of the
activity of these societies-the Saen-
gerbund in particular-and Mr.. Bryan
has issued instructions that the closest
possible watch be exercised over these
organizations, TO the end that they
commit no violation of the neutrality
of their adopted country.
As was told in these dispatches some
days ago, certain Germans have been
seriously considering the feasibility of
gathering at some point in the United
States not greatly distant from the
line OF the Canadian Pacific Railway
and from there making sortie iuto
Canada and destroying a part of the
railway, blowing up bridges and tear
ing up the track, to the end that the
transportation Of troops, especially
those from India, to the Atlantic sea-
board may be stopped, or at least Sc
riously retarded.
Such step can be taken, however,
only in the face Of the utmost alert
ness oil the part Of American officials,
who have been warned by Secretary
Bryan to head off such an attempt.

rather than increasing, and the income
tax returns can show no increase I'M
der Democratic rule, the report con-
tends.
Discussing the refusal of the admin
istration to issue bonds in its present
emergency, the minority report says:
at will not do for the party In
mower to say that per cent bonds
cannot be fioated now, while they are
ready to force through Congress an
administration bill which proposes TO
issue 3 per cent bonds for $30,000,OO0
for the government TO buy ships and
enter on the perilous business Of navi-
eating them. If the government can
borrow money for this purpose-which
Is contrary to every Democratic prln-
ciple--it certainly can get into the
market for the aid OF the Treasury
and not levy additional taxes
The report declares, however, that
the available balance in the Treasury
is not so low as to justify either a
taxation law or bond issue. On Sep
TENDER 2, says the report, the balance
In tho general fund was 2S43 100 "A,
and of this amount about S75,000,OOO
is in banks subject to call. The MI
ror;tv saw they see no distinction be-
tween taking this money from the
banks or tie pockets of the taxpayers
as the Withdrawals would be quickly
put back into circulation.
The minority report continues:
"The true remedy is not in bonds or
in taxes, which will be burdensome to
the people. Rigid economy should be
the watchword of the administration
They ought not to use all the money
that is appropriated. They can indulge
in economy Of their own motion and
without any further legislation by
Congress"
