RAILROADS TO SEEK
FEDERAL REGULATION

Washington. Oct. 19.-The abolition
OF state control OF railroads. with the
substitution of federal incorporation.
will be advocated by railroad execu-
tives who are to appear before the
joint committee OF the senate and
house that is to investigate the sub
iect of interstate agencies of trans
portation, according to Frank Trum-
buH. chairman OF the railway execu.
tives' advisory committee.
In an address before the American
Association of Passenger Traffic Of
ficers Mr. Trumbull said the railroads
were opposed TO state regulation and
favored federal charters for railroads.
Probably s1O0000,000" Mr. Trum-
bull said is going over the dam
every yeac as a result of the lack OF
coordination in our present methods
of handling this important problem

LORDS DECL ARE UNITED
STATES UNNEUTRAL

London, Oct. 19 - Charges that tho
United States destroyers violated the
laws of neutrality when they stood by
and watched the U-59 sink British
merchantmen were made In the house
OF lords.
Baron Beresford said the appearance
of destroyers made it appear they
were present in accordance with pre-
vious arrangement.
Presumably he referred to a news
paper suggestion that the U-53's com
mander might have asked United
States naval authorities at Newport
to send out destroyers when he paid
a call few hours before the raid
Viscount Grey said the issue raised
by the presence of the United States
destroyers was important
The government, he said, would with
hold representation until II had gath
cred information regarding the state
ment that the destroyers facilitated
the operations OF the U-hoat by get
ting out of the way.
