A War Need for Public Good.

There has. of course, been much dis
cussion as to the fairness and justice
OF the proposed amount of the standard
return. 1t is plainly in the public in
terest, and. indeed, a war need The
rights of owners must be tested by
present conditions. not by some theory
OF Capitalization never made operative
under federal or state law or generally
followed by the courts"
chairman Smith explained that in
case OF controversy over compensation
the bl!l permits an appeal to the Court
of Claims. The committee recommends.
the report says. that improvements
made by the government while the car
rlers are under government control
should go to the railroads when they
are returned to the security holders
This should be arranged through an
agreement between the carriers and
the President.
IL Months Provision Explained.
Discussing the provisions inserted by
the committee providing for the ter
mination of government control eieh-
teen months after the peace proclama-
tion has been issued. the report says:
1t is possible that certain conditions
may arise from federal control which
will need adjustment before the prop
ertes are returned to their owners, and
a reasonable period should intervene in
winch these conditions may be met and
adjusted 1t may be that the nation
VIII be unwilling to return to the condi-
tons obtaining before the assumption
OF federal control. Legislation may be
demanded radically changing the rela-
ton OF the government to the railroads
from that now existing in the interstate
commerce act as amended. Your COM
rllttee has suggested a period of eigh-
teen months. and they believe it will be
found adequate for that purpose.
Ihere is also provision to the ef-
feet that the President may, prior to
July l next, relinquish control of such
transportation systems as he may deem
not needful or desirable, and NAV.
thereafter. on agreement, relinQuish ali
tation.
The section also contains a general
provision that the President NAV re-

OPENING ARGUMENT IN
 DEFENSE OF GRACE LUsK
Dr. Roberts Assailed as "the Man Who Might Have Prevented the Shooting of His Wife"

Waukesha, Wis. May 2S.-Assailing Dr. David R. Roberts as "the man who might have prevented the shoot ing of his wife. but did not,' Henry Lockney late today made the opening argument for the defense in the trial of Grace Lusk for the staying of Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts. Insanity at the time of the murder was the key note of MT. Lockney's argument
 "On the eve of the tragedy" MT. Lockuey declared, "the testimony shows Miss Lusk told Dr. Roberts if he cared more for his wife than he did for her that would would end it all but that he assured her that he did care more for her and promised to tell his wife that night
 What he really told his wife was that Miss Lusk was infatuated with him. If he had taken the right course even at that late date. the shooting might have been prevented as Mrs. Roberts probably would not have sought the interview with the defend ant which ended in her death"
 Five possible verdicts were indi- cated in the argument of the defense: Guilty of murder in the first degree with a life sentence, second degree murder with a sentence of from four teen to twenty five years in the peni- tentiary; manslaughter in the third degree with a prison term of from two to four years; not guilty; not guilty because insane with commitment to the state asylum,

This declaration was made to the convention by F. N. Hurley. the chairman of the United States Ship ping Board.

MAJOR GENERAL WOOD
 CALLS AT WHITE HOUSE
Disappointed That He is Not to Pro- eeed to France for Service at Front.

Washington, May 2s.-Major Gen eral Leonard Wood, former chief of staff, whose detachment from com- mand of the national army division he trained for service in France. became known yesterday, spent half an hour at the White House today in confer snce with President Wilson. The call was arranged at the officers request by Secretary Baker.
 No statement on the subject was made either at the White House or by General Wood. but the generals friends say he wanted to tell the pres ident in person that as senior officer of the regular army he had only one desire-to serve to the best of his ability in whatever post he was as- signed to fill
 There is no concealment of the fact that the general is greatly disappoint- cd over his failure to proceed to France for service with his division at the front. He also is disturbed over the idea of settling down to the routine duties of departmental com msnder, and Secretary Baker today confirmed the report that he had asked for a more active assignment than the command of the western department 10 which he has been ordered This request has been referred to General March, chief of staff. and it is said to be probable that General Wood will be given his old post at Camp Fun ston to train another division.

THOMAS J. MOONEY HAS BEEN
 RE- SENTENCED TO BE HANGED
Not Less Than 60 Nor More Than 90
 Days from Date.

San Francisco, May 2S.-Thomas J. Mooney, convicted of murder in con- nection with the preparedness day bomb explosion here in 1916, was re- sentenced today to be hanged on an in determinateN date not less than sixty days nor more than ninety days from this date, at San Quentin prison
 Sentence was passed by Judge Franklin A, Griffin, who presided at the trial.
 Judge Griffin did not amplify the statement necessary to sentence, merely saying that the law imposed a plain duty on him. Mooney showed little emotion.
 Todays developments take from the courts a case which has consumed much time for the last two years and has attracted international attention. Organizations as far distant as Rus sia have sought to intervene in Moo neys behalf
 Moneys fate now rests with Gov ernor Stephens, who has pardon pe- tition before him and a request from President Wilson for executive cle- mency, based on findings of a federal commission that questioned testimony contributed to Moneys conviction.
