RAILROAD EXECUTIVES WANT 10 HAVE ROADS
 OEL|v RED TO OWNERS

New York, Dec 4-Executives eof railroads comprising more than ninety percent of the rail mileage of the country, in conference here today, adopted a resolution favoring a return of the roads to private ownership and expressing the hope that the re- !, maining period of federal control would be such as to leave the proper ties in the highest state of efficiency
 Government ownership and opera tion of railroads was characterized as conductive to the highest economic efficiency of the country, and it was suggested. that private initiative, en- thusiasm and responsibility in crea- tion, extension, improvement and op- eration, should, as a matter of nation al policy, be fostered and preserved" The meeting which was called by T. Dewitt Cuyler. chairman of the rail- way executive advisory committee, also voted that assurance be given to the director general of railroads and his associates of our earnest desire to cooperate in the performance of their important and difficult trust in the adoption of plans for the return of these properties. to private man. agementl and operation, . which plans shall be just, alike to the public. to the owners of the properties and to the employees engaged thereon
 This shows the railroad compan- ies want readjustment' of condt- tions,'' said Mir. Cuyler, after the meeting. "They do not wish or expect to escape adequate, responsible pub. lie regulations but look forward to . relation between rates, wages and dividends which will stimulate busi- ness. adequately reward labor and at tract the volume of new capital need- ed for expansion"

THREE MEN AND A
 CAPTIVE BALLOON

San Antonio, Tex, Dec 4.-Three men and captive balloon, to say nothing of the parachute, experience wild adventures, but no injuries, when a captive balloon at Brooks field broke way at noon yesterday. As the balloon was being hauled down the cable snapped and the balloon ascend ed rapidly to a height of 7,950 feet. In the basket were Lieut.. H. w. Reid, pilot from Camp John Wise and Lieuts Eldridge and Mackie of Brooks Field
 As the balloon threatened to go on upard indefinitely at this height, the valve was used and notwithstanding the fact that sand and coats and every available thing was thrown out to ease it's descent, it struck with such violence that two of the officers were thrown from the basket.
 It immediately began to ascend again and the third officer seeing that his only chance of escape lay in mak- ing a parachute descent, but his para chute was tangled in the cords of the balloon and at first could not be loos- ened. He climbed hand over hand up the cords, reached the parachute dis entangled it and made a perfect para chute descent from a height of 200 feet.

SENATE COMMITTEE STILL CHILLING
 THE BREWERIES

Washington, Dec, 4.-Alexander Konta, of New York, named by alien
 property custodian Palmer as an agent in negotiations through which
 the German government sought to buy newspapers in this country be- fore the United States entered the war, admitted to a senate committee today that he had communicated with Dr. Bernard Dernberg, German pro pagandist on the subject of the pur- chase of New York newspaper. The committee is Investigating brewers activities and German propaganda.
 Konta said he wrote to Dr. Dern- berg on the subject and that he was inspired by desire to help the Kali ser's representative carry out his plans to. get publicity for Germany; to get newspaper that would be hostile to prohibition and to earn a title.
 T desire to aid Dr. Dernberg to get the paper in order that he would have an opportunity to lay before the American people -"
 German propaganda" interrupted Senator Nelson. of Minnesota. "He wanted the paper, not for himself, but for the German government and he was a German agent. Isn't that Sruc?
 He must have been,' replied Konta.
 The witness who stoutly denied he ever had been disloyal to America, also said he had written in 1915 to Dr. Heinnerich, F. Albert, then an attache of the German embassy here and we'll known as propagandist, regarding an offer of $1 ,00 to be made to any person who could prove that misstatements were made in the Ger man general stag's daily official war Konta said his offer never was made.
 Other testimony before the commit tee today was that Count Von Bern storff. the former German ambassa- dor, had visited the offices of the American Association of Foreign Language newspapers in New York in March. 1915, and that immediately afterwards an advertising campaign to prevent the mnufacture of, muni- lions in this country floor the lilies was started.
 :; LOUIS f1ammer'luE, pTcsle'eHI 0l we association. which had $20.OO for the advertising campaign testified yes- terday that he did not know Won Bernstorff. It also was in. evidence today that Hammerling had directed that Captains Bov-Ed. and Won Pa non, navel and military attaches. at the Cermen embassy, be called on the te'ephone for him.
 The witness offering this testimony was Author Gabriel. former vice president of the association. Gabriel said it waas the general belief amorg the Poles that Hammer'ing was in the pay oof the Austrian gov ernment and that when he informed Hammnrling of this fcct,. the latter called him in end told him to keep his mouth shut, saving that "what people don't know won't hurt them"
 After that, Gabriel said. he receiv- ed $500. or ,00 extra in his pay en- velope. Such extra payments, he tes- tified. were not unusual.
