Private Ownership Has

BY UNITED PRESS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The
strongest argument ever presented
for government ownership OF rail-
roads Is the threatened paralysis Of
railroads iue to an employers-em-
ployes controversy. Senator Norris,
of Nebraska. declared today.
Should the impending disaster
fall, he announced, he will seize the
opportunity 10 advance tre doctrine
that private ownership OF a pubiie
utility necessarily is opposed 10 the
public interest.
Norris will introduce bill cali
ing for the construction or purchase
of a nationwide system--a line from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific and from
the Gulf to the Lakes This he
will propose 10 operate as a model
utility. both as to treatment OF the
public in rates and 10 employees in
pay.
'Watercd stock is the great evil
OF railways" said Norris. Many Of
them must earn interest and diyi-
dends on from two TO FIVE times
their actual value.
Nothing, therefore, is more I'M
fair and unintelligent than to 'cuss'
railroad managers. Simply hired
men, they must operate with such
economy toward their employees and
with such a make-it-pay regardless
attitude toward the public that the
surprise is that the blowup has not
come sooner.
"This strike is as inevitable as
summer or winter Possibly the
situation may be patched up.
Far more important, it would b.
in the public interest. A manager
would not ask: How high a rate

STRIKE SPREADS
TO PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA. Aug 5.-Ofl.
Gals of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Co. were today given 30
hours in which TO grant higher pay
and recognition of the union or as
sumo responsibility for a strike on
all lines. Should Thomas f. Mitten,
president OF the company, to whom
the message was delivered, grant
the union officials an interview they
will extend the time OF decision.
Mitten has consistently refused even
20 talk TO union men on the ground
that the company recognizes no
such an organization.

To Sell No Horses
 To Belligerents

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 16.-The state humane society has resolved that hereafter this state will not sell horses to representatives of the nations of Europe. The society has full power in such mat ters, said power having been given it several years ago by the legis- lature. Horse dealers of the state Ire therefore downcast, as the reso- lution of the humane society com pletely destroys business which, since the opening of the war, has proven to be very lucrative.
 It Is stated that the resolution oI the society was passed after let ter had been read before meeting of the examination. The letter was from a girl 13 years of age, who had evidently visited in the vicinity of some of the battlefields of the great European war and had seen some of the hardships endured by animals in the service.

 The lobby ists and others in terested point out that the pas sage of such a bill will work great hardship on the operators They state that the film manu- lecturers association already has a board of censorS called the National Board of Censorship. and that that board regulates the manufacture and reproduce tion of films from a moral stand point as well as can be done by any censor They also point out that it is next to impossible to regulate the moral question by law in a manner which will

Only 30 mem bers of the party will remain here, and they will form nucleus for the permanent peace board which Henry Ford is organizing.
 The permanent board will undoubt- edly hold it's meetings at Stock holm The reason is that Germany has refused to allow the Scandina vian members of the party to pass through Germany on their return trip home.

WESTERN STATES FAVOR SONS -BORAH TALK DYING

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. l6- From information received at Re publican headquarters here. it Is evident that, when the Republican primary elections shall have taken place in the states of Minnesota, North Dakota South Dakota, Ne braska and Kansas. it will be found that the names of Senator Albert B. Cummins. of Iowa, and Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, will head the ticket as the choice of the people Of those states for the Republican presidential nomination in 1916. However, it is also as serted that the name of Senator Theodore F. Burton, of Ohio. will also be well toward the head of the lists.
 All of the senators mentioned are rational figures. Senators Cummins and Burton both have a large fol lowing in the east as well as the west, but the so called Borah talF in the east is dying out to con siderable extent.

 That will be the chief request contained in a petition which will soon be forwarded to congress from this state, the petition being signed by the state officials of the National Wool Growers Association. who just ended their annual convention here The reason for such a request is that the state is overrun with coy otes. many of which have rabies They are therefore a danger to hu- man beings as well as to sheep, cattle and dogs, the result being that the disease will surely spread unless the rabid coyotes are exter- minated in some manner.
 Other matters voted upon by the convention were non-partisan tar Tiff commission and grazing legisla- tion It was the sense of the con- rention that these matters be pushed in congress and. in order that they may not lack the proper support from the state, the association vot- ed the sum of $100O0 which will be used in lobbying them through

MAXIM ON OUR
 PREP PAREONESS

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 16.- Hiram Maxim, the great inventor and the man who has probably done more than any other in the world toward the invention and man. ufacture of the death dealing engines of destruction being used in the present war in Europe, is strong believer in President Wilson's poli- cy of national preparedness on the part of the United States. He made a special preparedness address here today in which he set forth many reasons why the United States should prepare to defend itself in case war with a foreign nation proved to be inevitable.
 Like Joseph H. Choate, MT. Maxim believes that the end of the war in Europe will see the starting of war on the United States. He predicts danger, no matter which side wins in the present great conflict, the tenor of his remarks being that this government should be prepared fo! the worst
 He expects that there will be new federation of European nations formed if there is a war. Those who are now enemies will be allies, according to his prediction, and it will be possible for them to land at least 250,O00 seasoned fighting men on our shores every two weeks if necessary, unless we are >prepared to repulse them. And unless we are prepared to receive such force in a manner in keeping with such a visit, Mr Maxim predicts that the first month of the war would see the capture by our enemies of all of the munition plants of the Unit ed States.

Jury Didn' t Obey
 Wishes of Attorney
DIDN'T HANG MAN AS PER IN STRUCTiONS OF THE
 PROSECUTOR.

OMAHA, Nebr., Jan. 16.-The Jury in the case of the State O. Nebraska vs Arthur Young, the defendant in which was charged with murder. returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree into court last night. The verdict car ried with it the re1omme ndation that, when he sentences Young tomorrow morning, the judge give him a life sentence at hard labor.
 The verdict of the jury meets with popular approval eX cept in the case of Prosecuting Attorney Hauser. In his address to the jury Attorney Hauser pleaded for an acquittal or a verdict carrying with it rec ommendation for hanging stat ing that Young was either guilty or he was not But that the prosecuting attorneys wishes and pleading had no effect on the action of the jury is eyi- dent. Prosecutor Hauser now says that, while he does not ap- prove of the recommendation of the jury, there never was a time when he was not certain of an absolute conviction
 Arthur Young, who had just been released from the peniten- tiary, murdered the cashier of the state organization of Wood men of the World in this city last fall. The crime was par ticularly heinous one. The con viction was entirely upon circum- stantial evidence.

 FL PASO, Jan. 16.-Advices re ceived here from Casas Grandes are 10 tho effect that the Mormon pop ulation of that city and vicinity will remain there and not come to the United States as was expected Their friends here are of the opini- on that there is reason in their decision, feeling that the Mormons are much safer in the homes they have made than they would be tray cling through the country unpro- tected.
 However it is also stated that word has been received from Pro yisional President Carranza asking the Mormons to remain in Mexico and guaranteeing them protection if they will do so, therefore it is thought that his assurances ma have something to do with their decision to remain in Mexico.
