of the canine kingdom, will be present

John Otken, Of 33l West Forty-sixth
Street, is given Il hearing on charges
OF having used the mails to dcfraud
dog fanclers. Otkcn was given a pre-

Says Railroads Seek
To Discredit Control

Railroad employees arc deliberately =
annoying passengers and running
trains inefficiently, in order to disgust
the public with government ownership,
according to j. A. H. Hopkins, vice
chairman of the new National party,
who cited several instances last night
in an address to the 18th Assembly Dis
trict Woman's Suffrage party, at its
regular Wednesday night forum.
"CoE.uctors are waking passengers
in the middle of the night to demand
tickets, as they never did before he
said. "Ticket agents are deliberately y
selling the same berth twice, to cause
confusion aboard trains, and many
trains are being run late when there
is no excuse for it. The reason is that
they want the public to have enough
of government control, so that there
can be no question of government own
ership."
"This three year ownership plan is
fine business for the railroads" he con-
tinued. "All of them are in bad shape,
and at the expiration Of the time when
the government controls them their
roads will be returned to them in better
shape than they were. Twc-thirds OF
the engines of the Pennsylvania Rail
road have beer in the repair shop since
the government took them over"

Caluin Tomkins Appointed
To Waterways Committee

WASHINGTON, March 13. - The
membership Of the railroad aGminis-
tration's inland waterways advisory
committee was increased from three to
five to-day with the appointment of
Calvin Tomkins, former Dock Com
missioner Of New York, and a student
of port facilities and NJ. j. Sanders, Of
New Orleans, manager of the Leyland
steamship lines.
Other members of the committee,
which is investigating the use of canals
and navigable rivers to relieve railway
transportation, are Major General w.
NJ. Black, Chief of Engineers; G. A.
Tomlinson, of Duluth, and Walter S.
Dlckey, of Kansas City.
The committee has been at work for
ten days and has submitted a prelim-
mary report to Director General Nc
Adoo, recommending the increased use
of number Of canals to transport
coal this summer. Although it con-
siders inadvisable any extensive I'M
provements to the canals or rivers, the
building of additional terminal facii-
ties is recommended.
The railroad administration is tax
ing steps to consolidate city ticket Of
fees in scores of cities and expects to
save several millions of dollars by their
unihcation.
The government, as manager of the
railways, will not be responsible for in
dividual companies financing obliga-
tions, but will exercise a "benevolent
interest" in maintaining railroads
credit. This attitude was set forth
to-day by officials of the railroad ad-
ministration, discussing the New Hav-
ems prospective difficulty in meeting an
issue Of $43,000000 notes due April l.

Whisl<ey Sent by Mail
To Men in Camp Dix
Authorities Order All Parcel
Post Packages Opened in
Presence of Officer

CAMP DIX, N. j., March 13.-Mil-
itary authorities here have discovered
an extensive scheme TO use Uncle Sam
as a "bootlegger" and smuggler to
supply intoXicants to soldiers in his
own camp. With practically every
other avenue of access cut off by the
military police, daring ones have re-
sorted to the use of the parcels post
to deliver whiskcy to thirsty friends
in the cantonment. Officers are con-
vinced that "wet goods" have been con-
cealed in many mail packages camou-
tagged as clothing, candy and books.
Government postal inspectors will
cooperate with military authorities in
ferreting out the identity of the per-
sons sending whiskey by mail. Majo
General Scott put an end to the prac-
tice SO far as Camp Dix is concerned
this afternoon by issuing orders that
hereafter all parcels post packages re-
celVed by men in camp must be opened
by the addreosee in the presence of a
commissioned officer
When contraband liquor is found it
Will be easy for Federal inspectors to
prosecute the sender.
News from Washington this after
noon that Major General Hugh L.
Scott, commanding the 18th Division
helc, had passed the physical tests and
been pronounced by the highest medi-
cal board as eft for service" was re-
ceivcd with enthusiasm by thousands
of officers and men throughout the
camp.

New Jersey, Republican, against the
tax clause was upheld to-day by Vice
President Marshall and sustained by
the Senate, 81 to %.
Reinsert Tax Section
The bill was then returned to con-
ference, where the original tax section,
providing that state taxes and railroad
regulations shall not be interfered with
so far as. they are consistent with Fed
eral control, was reinserted. Other
principal provisions of the bill, re-
tanned as the conferrees adjusted them,
are those for compensating the rail
roads on the basis Of their net income
for the three years ended June 80, 1917,
involving an estimated Federal guar
antee of about S945, 100000 annually,
limiting Federal operation to twenty
one months after the war, authorizing
the President to initiate rates, subject
to approval by the Interstate Commerce
Commission; appropriating $500, 100000
for q revolving fund for the Director
General, and placing all "short lines"
within the Federal system.
In the final debate to-day Senator
Johnson. Of California, Republican,
said the bill was unfair and unjust

to the people and outrageously gener-
Gus to the railroads." while Senators
Townsend, of Michigan, Republican,
and Cummins, of Iowa, Republican, re-
iterated their criticism of some sec
tions of the bill. Some of the bills
principles, Senator Townsend said, are
"subversive OF good government"
Against Blanket Power
at is never proper for a Republic
to confer blanket power on an execu-
tive or a railroad director" said the
Michigan Senator. 81 sometimes think
we are towards. A bill is introduced,
and some one raises the flag Of
patriotism and says that unless we
support this bill we are not support
ing the President.
"I would rather be for my country.
] will support the President whenever
that is necessary for the successful
prosecution of the war"
Senator Cummins gave the Senate a
final warning that he believed the
compensation proposed for the roads
would "do more to SOW the seeds of
discomfort" than any other measure
ever enacted by the Senate.

Goods consigned to Russia and valued

cars they have been occupying for
months and stored in warehouses un-
til they can be disposed Of. This viii

Prohibit Brewing, Is
Demand in Commons
Governments Policy Under
Fire as Endangering Ma
tion's Food Resources

LONDON, March 12-Strong criti-
cism of the governments policy toward
the continued use of grain for brewing
and nalting was evoked in the debate
in the House of Commons to-day. The
criticisms were based on the enormous
tonnage employed by the traffic, the
small profit to the. government from
the expenditure and the waste of
cereals at a time when there is a pos
slblllty of a shortage of grain for hu-
man consumption.
Lelfchild Jones ridiculed the idea
that if the British workmen were
frankly told that it was necessary to
terest they would oppose such measures
or strike.
Richard Burning Holt said that the
question was whether it would not be
cotton for the Lancashire spinners
rather than materials for brewing.
Sydney Robinson, who referred to
Herbert c. Hoover's efforts to secure
every bushel of barley for food, asked
Tor beer ratlonlng and was certain the
workers would rise to such a demand
cn their patriotism with enthusiasm.
John Robert Clynes, Parliamentary
Secretary to the Food Control Depart
ment, expressed the opinion that to en-
force teetotalism would not make any
contribution to winning the war If it
ever becomes a question of choosing
between bread and beer, he said, there
VIII be no hesitation on the part of the
government, but that time has not yet
come.
The brewing materials for 1018-'19,
Mr.. Clynes added, would be equivalent
10 $1,000 tons of shipping, compared
to 100000 tons early in the war The
brewing material would amount to
something less than 8 per cent of the
solid food ration, and from one third to
one-fourth of these materials could be
recovered in the form of animal food.
In his remarks Mr.. Jones declared
the drink bill was too heavy burden
tor the country in times Of war. For
1914, he said. it had totalled 9164, 4,OOO,-
600; for 1915 it had been e182,OOO 900,
while for 1916 it had grown to GOA
100000, and, despite appeals for econ
omy, it had in 1917 amounted to $780,
