SEE WILSON sop
FOR RAILROADS
President Accused in Senate Of Using
General Inquiry Plan to Sidetrack
Securities Legislation.

Washington. d. G., Jan 25.--The fat
charge that President Wilson believes
the interstate commerce law is breaking
down and that he wants the railroads
left "untrammelled" was made on the
floor of the Senate yesterday by Senator
Townsend, Republican, a leading mem
br of the Senate commerce committee.
This charge and other attacks on the
administration attitude toward the rail-
roads was made in the course of hot
debate over the Newands measure for
a joint committee to investigate the
problem of interstate and foreign trans
portation.
Senator Norris of Nebraska assailed
the Democrats for violating the Balti-
more platform in not enacting legisa-
tion to control railroad securities. He
alleged the real purpose back Of the
| Newlands measure was to enable the
Democrats to get before the country in
the presidential campaign and excuse
their failure to fulfil their pledge made
at Baltimore to enact railway securi
ties legislation. He piled Senator New
lands with questions to find out whether
the interstate commerce committee had
any intention to report bill for con-
troll of railroad securities. Senator New
lands at first said he had no control over
the committee, but admitted later that
he did not favof enacting any impor
tant commerce legislation until the in
vestigation as proposed had been made.
Senator Newlands stirred up the de-
bate when he arose to advocate his BILL
The president in his message advocated
such an inquiry. This brought forth
criticism on the ground that it was
pro-railroad move. Under the crcum-
stances the Newlands measure is es-
teemed of first-elass Importance.
Senator Newlands said he thought the
investigation should deal with rogula-
tion and not with government owner
ship.
Senator Borah opposed this view The
debate was lengthy and animated, and
Senator Norris charged politics ana
nothing but politics was back of the |
proposed investigation"
Discussing failure to enact railway |
securities legislation, Senator Norris |
cited the stock watering and other
abuses connected with the New Haven,
the Rock Island. and the Frisco. To this /
list Senator Poindexter added Union Pa
cifc.
Senator Newlands sought to crowd the
measure to a vote, but was blocked by
Senator Norris, who served notice that
he desired to speak at length on it.

Most Pathetic Incident in Commissioner
Bingham's Experience.

In the February Woman's Home Com
panion Emily Barton Reid quotes Gen
eral Hiram Bingham, former police com
missioner of New York City, as saying
that fifty thousand girls disappear an
nually in the United States.
Nothing in his whole department
service. General Bingham confesses, filled
him with greater pity than the fol.
lowing single incident:
1T was dusk in New York, the hour
girls hurrying from work. The crowds
streamed across Union square toward
the subway in a great tiood-the whole
population of an average country town
passing the corner every minute. Sud
denly around the corner whirled a great
express wagon. The driver whistled
shrilly, and the crowd, made wary by
long experience, scattered in all direc-
tions. All but one girl. A single mo-
ment she hesitated, glanced both ways,
dropped back a step, and then, changing
her mind, dashed forward in an at
tempt to gain the other side.
AtoiNabith was W.
much The frightened horses rushed on.
Ten minutes later her lifeless body was
borne away in an ambulance to the city
morgue.
"There were no marks of identified
ton on the girls person. The police
we're reduced to the necessity of publish
ing description in the newspapers,
hoping that relatives would come to
claim the body. And in answer to that
description. which was made as detailed
and accurate as possible. more than
three hundred mothers and sisters wrote
or appeared at the morgue. More than
three hundred women within reach of
the New York papers confessed that
girls whom they loved, corresponding to
the description Of this girl, had disap-
peared! Not one of them was able TO
IDENTIFY her. She was buried after a
time at the city's expense.
@Three hundred women returned TO
pursue their fruitless search elsewhere.
What had become Of the three hundred
girls for whom they searched;"

was divided after the 1912 convention.
None of the committeeman would say
that the harmony plans would extend to
the nomination OF Col. Roosevelt as the

be quoted as saying that such nomina-

Intoxicating liquor when it was shown

his premises for religious purposes.
The trial of Hester Mastopoules fol-
lowed that of Pearlman. The stock

quor was accounted for in the follow
ing manner: That Louis Pappadeas,
of whom Mastoupoulos rented the
store, left the liquor in a room which
Mastoupoulos thought vacant. In
other words, he didn't know the stuff
was there
Charles N. Heiden was the third to
be tried. He was charged with selling
whiskey at his place of business, Ill
Congress street, west. Detectives Nc
earthly and Fleming testified they had
entered his place and that Heiden, be-
hind the bad, had tipped into sink a
pitcher containing whiskey. Fleming
put his finger into the hole in the sink,
stopping the flow of whiskey, and the
detectives baled out what they said
was whiskey and water. City Bacte-
biologist V. H. Bassett testified from
the stand the mixture contained 80
per cent. alcohol.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
TO BE USED BY CHURCHES

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 17.-That news
paper advertising can be used with as
much propriety and efficacy by minis
tiers of the gospel in getting results as
it can in commercial business is the
view to which practically all the pas
tors of Atlanta churches have been
converted.
The local newspapers are now car
rying regular departments in their
weekend issues devoted to church ad-
vertisements, and the preachers are
patronizing the department, as they
should, with enthusiasm.
Going on the theory that a church
cannot accomplish much unless it gets
the people to attend religious services,
the pastors have decided that the best
way to get them out is to tell them
What the church has to offer in the
way of music, sermon topics, etc, and
that newspaper advertising is the best
of all mediums for conveying this in
formation.
The organization of a central church
bureau in charge of a paid secretary
who will promate various enterprises
in which all the churches join is an.
other typical business method just
adopted by the churches of Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 17.-That the

speech recently delivered at republican
headquarters in that city by Peter
Click, who is assistant solicitor of the
city of Pittsburg.
According to a report of the speech
in the Pittsburg paper, Click, among
other references to the Frank case,
said:
when a Southern state, harboring
within its borders the lust for riot, out
ragged the nations sense of fair trial
for condemned man, who was the
man on the United States Supreme
court bench who said to Georgia: I

sent of a terrorized jury. 1t is our
duty to declare lynch law as little
valid when practiced by regularly
drawn jury as when administered by
the elected by a mob intent on death :?
Charles E. Hughes was the man. 1t
was his sense of justice that spoke
forth. 1t was his heroic spirit of
righteousness that rebuked Georgia for
her barbarous treatment of an Ameri-
