AGAINST FEDERAL
RAILROAD CONTROL
Bryan Points Out That II
Make Elections a Battle
with Railroads

Washington, Dec S.-Classing some
railroads of the past with "highway
robbers" former Secretary of State
Bryan today declared federal control
of railroads will bring into national
politics "a eorruptive force greater
than we have ever known
Bryan was testifying at his own re-
quest before the Newlands Joint con
gressional committee investigating
public utilities.
''The fact that the railroads ask for
it is conclusive proof federal control is
not intended for greater regulation, :"
Bryan declares, land every congress
man would be subjected to it. The
means to secure nominations and elec-
tions would be given TO him. -
Bryan said federal control would
tempt congressman, would make every
election fight between the railroads
and the people and would break down
state lines.
Bryan came out flatly for govern
ment regulation of railroad capitaliza-
tion-including bond issues-but op-
posed government ownership.
"T, personally, can't say I desire
government ownership" he said. 81
lean to the individual idea rather than
the collective. | believe in individual
ownership except where competition is
impossible. "
Questioned by Senator Newlands,
Bryan said:
"Some of the railroads have been
guilty of things that would bring dis
credit on an ordinary highway rob
ber.'
A railroad, said Bryan, should be
permitted just enough revenue to keep
its stock at par, "as stable as govern
ment bonds" If its dividends raised
the value of the stock by ten per cent,
he said the revenues ought to be de-
creased.
"Don't you think, Mr.. Bryan, that
the people love and admire the rail
roads," asked Representative Alan
son.
"You put it a little stronger than l
would" Bryan replied.
'1 think they separate some officials
from the railroads they love-"

Admit Smiths Employment.

San Francisco, Dee. Counsel for
the defense in the trial of Franz Bopp,
German consul general here, and his
associates charged with violating the
neutrality of the United States, sprang
a surprise here today when they open
ly admitted that both Louis j. Smith
and Charles G. Crowley, alleged plot
ters, were employed by the imperial
German consulate here.
Theodore Roche, attorney for Bopp,
declared that these two men were
hired as confidential agents to secure
information on shipments of munitions
to enemies of Germany. Roche admit
ted that the two alleged plotters were
sent to Tacoma to secure information
which was later sent by the German
embassy to the state department to
show that the neutrality of this coun-
try was being violated.
At today 5 session of the trial the
government continued its effort TO
show that the activities of Crowley
and Smith were not confined merely
to getting information but that Smith
was responsible for The explosion of
the bomb which wrecked a barge in
Seattle harbor which was laden with
powder for Russia.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
DfPLORES SUFFRAGE
Says Women's Rights Women
Are the Greatest Enemies
of the Sex

Washington, Dee S. A "condemna-
tionh message from Cardinal Gibbons
and deunuciation also of suffrage for
women by Elihu Root, marked this af-
ternoon 3 session of the National Asso-
citation Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
The cardinal IS message was read by
Monsignor Russell, recently appointed
archbishop by the pope.
"The paramount influence which wo-
man cxerts as queen of the domestic
kingdom, +" read Cardinal Gibbon S mes
sage, "where she reigns, not by force,
but by persuasion, not by statute law,
but by the law of love engraved in her
heart, forces me to believe her coGdi-
tion would not be improved if she en-
tered into the arena of politics.
The cardinal said insistencc of the
right to vote would "rob woman of all
that is amiable, tender and attractive
and give her nothing in return but mas
culine boldness and effrontery."
"Woman is queen" and "her en-
pire is the democratic domestic king
dom, the cardinal held.
"The gdeatest political triumphs
should pale into insignificance compar-
ed with the glory she radiates from
the domestic shrines and she illumines
and warns by her congual and omther-
ly virtues"

and leaders of the new school of female
progress, as the worst enemies of the
female sex -

San Francisco, Dec. THE possible
connection of Louis j. Smith, star
government witness, with the explosion
at Seattle of barge of dynamite in
tended for use by Russian soldiers, was
dramatically traced today during the

that in May, 1915, man giving the
name of Walter Brown appeared at his

Tacoma, and sought a room.
SIS this the man?n asked United
States District Attorney Preston, point
ing TO Smith.
''It is," Engcn replied.
This Identification is considered i'm
portant by the prosecution, as it traces
Smith to the vicinity of Seattle just
before the barge explosion.
For the first time since the trial
opened, c. C. Crowley, former detective
for the German consul, Mrs. W. w.
