Railroads Trying
To Ruin Own Credit,
Says Max Thelen

Washington, Dec. 9.--Railroads
were accused of trying to ruin their
own credit and laying the foundation
for federal ownership by Max
Thelen, president OF the National AS
sociation of Railway commissions,
in resuming his testimony today be-
fore the congressional railroad in
vestigating committee.
THE railroads are in hysteria OF
pessimism," he said, with earnings
beyond all previous records and con-
stantly growing larger, the railroads
seem to be engaged in the absurd
task OF trying to ruin their own
credit. If they were really acting in
the public interest, as they claim to
be, they would stop complaining
about public regulation and would
devote themselves to supplying the
cars, equipment, terminal facilities
and extensions which the public ur-
gently requires.
THE talk OF the railroads about
forty-nine masters is simply Ian
guage to tickle the ears. No railroad
in the United States runs through
more than one-third of forty-eight
states. Although all other corpora
tons which do business in different
states are subject to regulation by
each state, nobody except the rail-
roads is complaining"

GROWTH SURPRISES
FORMER 0MAHAN
v. E. Liable of Union Pacific
Doesn't Recognize Streets
After Four Years.
CHANGE IS WONDERFUL

Victor f. Liable, travelling pasScn-
ger agent for the Union PACING. with
headquarters in New Orleans, is in the
city, enroute to Minneapolis, where
he goes to help out on the holiday
business, He expressed himself as
being surprised at the wonderful
growth OF Omaha.
Mr. Liable was located in Omaha
for long time and was transferred
to the south four years ago Since
then he has not been in Omaha until
now. When he rode up town from
the station the changes made during
his absence had been so many that
he did not recognize Sixteenth street
and he had to ask for directions to
the Illinois Central offices.
The growth in all parts OF the city
is surprise to Mr Liable and after
he had looked the town over he re-
marked, Il don't believe that there
is city in the country that during
the last four years has had such a
growth as Omaha

Bearish Tone in
Hgin Butter Market
Will Affect Omaha

Wholesale and retail prices of but
ter in Omaha will be reduced as a
result of the decline in the quotations
on butter on the Elgin market today.
Dispatches announce that the quota
ton on high grade butter had dropped
to 81 cents. At one time the quota
ton in Elgin reached AZ cents per
pound, but here the highest price
was 40 cents.
Although we did not advance our
prices to the high quotation on the
Elgin market the decline announced
today will affect the local market"
said an official of the David Cole
Creamery company. Just how much
this will be | am not in a position TO
state, but can say that the wholesale
price of butter here will be reduced
in accordance with the Elgin quota
ton, and this will affect the retail
price"

Food Pirates Are Worsted.

Chicago, Dec 9.-The corner in eggs and other produce appears to have been smashed, when prices, al- ready sharply lower, are expected to tumble still more. Widespread boy eotts on butter, eggs, and produce and the extension of grain and meat embargoes to include practically all foodstuffs were chiefly responsible.
 Eggs were down five cents below the high point and butter had de- clined six cents a pound Potatoes, banished from many tables when they became luxuries, have dropped ten to fifteen cents a bushel.
 Retail prices are expected to fol- low the decline in wholesale prices. closely following the summoning of 900 retail grocers to appear before the Federal grand jury here.
 Egg men are worried over the warm weather, which is expected to make thousands of hens on poultry farms to resume laying.

 The emperor sent a telegram to King Ferdinand of Bulgaria ex- pressing joy at tho achievements in Rumania, and the hope that w will succeed in the near future in convincing the enemy of the futility of further blood shed"
 A similar telegram expressing the
 lpe of a speedy and final victory was sent by the emperor to the tan of Turkey.
 Another dispatch from Amster- dam states that the Cologne Volks Zeitung says that the Germans can view political events in England with compOsure.
 The leading man it says, in the most powerful of the enemy coun- tries confirms by his resignation the failure of the war policy of the en- tente. If the strong men of England now come into power, this can only please us, for it gives hope that a decision will come all the earlier"

SUBMARINE ISSUE
 WEARS A DECISION
Basis for Action Reached by Ad- mission in Arabia Case-Germany Hints at Offer of ReparatiOn--
 No Warming Was Given.

Washington, Dec. S.-Germany's acceptance of responsibility for the sinking of the British liner Arabia with the explanation that her sub marine commander took the vessel for an auxiliary warship, has brought the issue over the suhma- rine warfare to a more serious and claar-cut basis than anything that has happened since the threat 6f the United States last April to break diplomatic relations after the tor pedoing of the channel liner Sus- sex.
 Such information as the American government now has tends to show
 hat the Arabia was passenger ship of the Peninsular and Oriental line passing thru the Mediterranean
 n a regular voyage. Among the many passengers was an American citizen, who was rescued.
 The German note, made public today by the State Department, says if official data is furnished showing that the vessel was an ordinary passenger steamer this, then, would be rcgrettable mistake, from which the German govern ment would promptly draw the ap- propriate consequences" It is as sumed here that the consequences would be an expression of regret and an offer of reparation for any injury or danger suffered by Amer jeans on board.
 The note has been referred to President Wilson, who is consider ing a review of recent German sub marine activities to which the Ara bia comes to a climax There prob ably will be no immediate action as the State Department first must clear up beyond question the exact status of the finer at the time of thc attack.

 Cranks Are Busy.

Washington, Dec i0.-Special grand jury investigations into the high cost of living will be started in Detroit, New York and Chicago the middle of the week, Special Assist ant Attorney General Anderson, in charge of the probe, announced yes terday.
 Attorney General Gregory gave his official approval to this plan. It is highly probable that grand iuries also will be called to act in the same line in the immediate future at Cleveland, Kansas, and Minneapo- lis.
 Anderson said that the grand jury work in New York will be directed principally against alleged coal price conspiracies. He was to con- fer this afternoon with Secretary Houston regarding the crop and food products output for the year,
 President Wilson is scheduled to pass personally upon Anderson's plans Monday It is anticipated that he will 0. K. them.
 The Cranks Get Busy.
 The food crisis is bringing forth a large number of threatening let ters from cranks in different parts of the country Several senators and representatives have received thru the mails threats of bodily harm if they fail to support an en- bargo measure or any other legis- ation designed to curb the soaring prices.
 The most rabid letters have come from the South.
 Gold Storage Houses Full.
 Reports to the department of agri- culture, which is investigating the high cost of living, show that great stocks of frozen and cured meat were in packing and cold storage houses December | In some in- stances the increase over the hold ing of year ago were 6S.S per cent. The report was forwarded to Pres ident Wilson immediately.
 Firms reporting frozen beef had i2,3S3,S76 pounds more on hand than a year ago. Those reporting cured beef had l2,930,636 pounds more. Frozen pork, salt pork, lard and frozen mutton show proportional in- cFCases.
 The north and central portions of the country disclosed the greatest evidence of possible speculation, oi- licials said With the wide diver eence of opinion among 3ovaiument departments, regarding the most practical means of curbing the soaring prices, the president will outline his ideas Monday on the course he deems advisable.

Deportations Continue.

Official information shows that Geportations are continuing, and it is the opinion here that whatever mOditications the Germans may have put into practice, the obnox- ious principle of deportation re- mains unaltered. Some of the state ments reported to be contained in the German reply. differ widely from the official information reach ing the department especially as to the severity with which the depor- tations are being carried out. The department has been convinced that the employed and those of indepen- dent means have been taken indis- crlminately with the unemployed and dependent.
 Officials do not desire to enter in- to a long argument with Germany as to the details and are satisfied with the accuracy of their informa- ton to date One official said today the department is ready to go ahead with that as basis if it is decided to take further action.
 The general failure of the repre- sentations of the United States, Hol- land, Spain and the Vatican is caus- ing increasing concern here for the continuance of relief work in Bel gium, especially in view of the statement from England that Ger many's action is threatening the whole foundation of Belgian relief.

No LeSsening of Tension.

Officials were not greatly en- couraged by press dispatches out lining the forthcoming German re- ply. The reply contains little, off, cials believe, that had not been said to Charge Grew before the formal American protest was sent.
 Whether Germany's reply will be made public or answered will not be decided until the attitude of the American public has been sounded out and the actual text of the Ger man answere has been examined. The State Department realizes that it already has exceeded the bounds of diplomacy in making several re- presentations in the case, but it is eager to emphasize its position in every reasonable way. The person. al views of President Wilson are yet to be laid before German officials by Ambassador Gerard, now on his way back to Berlin.
