Doubts Execution of Threat.

II do not take seriously the state
ment OF Mr.. McAdoo that unless some
thing is done at the present session
the roads will be turned back to their
owners" Mr.. Cummins continued.
THAT may have been intended as an
adroit threat to try to stimulate Con
gress into doing something. But I
do not believe that the Administration
seriously contemplates returning the
roads to their owners without some
additional legislation to change the
conditions under which the roads for
merly were operated.
"Of course. If Congress adiourns
March 4 without passing any legisla-
ton on the subject there is nothing TO
prevent the President turning back
the roads IL he should choose to do
so. am confident. however, that be-
fore the middle of next year Congress
will be able to legislate on the cues
ton and devise some form of control
which will be satisfactory to the coun-
try"

Committee Meeting.
Special Despatch TO The sux.

WksHINGToN, Dec. 13.-Agitation in
Congress for an independent Ireland
got a raking before the Foreign Az
fairs Committee of the House when
George l.. Fox OF New Haven, Conn.
charged that the proponents OF the
resolution were largely those who
favored Germany in the war.
The resolution before the committee
was introduced by Representative
Gallagher lll) and urges that the
peace conference go on record in favor
Of an Independent Ireland The ap-
pearance of Mr.. Fox was a surprise to
the free Ireland adherents, who
lined the walls of the committee ROOM
Il want to oppose this resolution as
a miserable insult to the United States
and to England" Mr. Fox declared. Il
have been for years a student OF the
Irish question. I protest against this
resolution because it is against the
policy of the United States and those
who now favor it were in favor OF Ger
many" Protests Immediately were
heard from the hackers OF the resofr-
ton.
They play two games" Mr.. Fox in
sisted. "A resolution adopted by the
Ancient Order of Hibernians in 1916 in
August expressed the hope that the
Germans would crush England ami
thus set Ireland free"
Hearing on the resolution ended with
the filing Of a mass of memorials and
petitions.
