Return to Private Hands Discussed.

The Senate Interstate commerce COM
mittee yesterday completed hearings on
the administration railroad bills. Argu-
ments were presented by the railroads
and shippers. G. W. Anderson, member
of the interstate commerce commission,
who had much TO do with framing the
bill, further explained certain features.
Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel for
the railway executive advisory COM

the provision giving Congress the right
to determine when the roads should
be turned back to private ownership
and to vest that right in the President,
with the provision that it should be done
within year after peace has been de-
clared.

OPEN LETTER OF APOLOGY
TO THE '1W0MAN'S PARTY
Women Opposing Suffrage Acknowl-
edge Mistake Regarding Presi-
dents Attitude on Subject.

AS the result of the open support
given by President Wilson to the fed
eral suffrage amendment resolution. re-
Gently passed by the House, the Ma
tional Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage last night made public an open
letter of apology to Miss Alice Paul,
the woman's party and to socialists for
accusing them of circulating mislead-
ing reports as to the Presidents atti-
tude on the question.
The letter. addressed to Miss Paul.
chairman Of the woman's party, said
the truth of the statement that an
emissary of President Wilson visited
Miss Paul in the Occoquan Jail and
promised that the President would Sc
cretly assist the passage Of the reso-
luton, and added:
"That the President of the United
States would, under cover. assist a
proposition which he had publicly and
unqualifedly repudfated seems to us
unworthy of his high Office. and we felt
jutified in defending him from what
seemed an unwarranted and unbe-
lievable accusation.
However, the Presidents subsequent
public support of the federal suffrage
amendment, his announcement coming
on the eve of the vote in the House of
Representatives, indicates the truth of
your original assertion. and we, there
fore, deem it incumbent upon ourselves
to apologize"
Copies of the letter, the association
announced, were sent to the President
and to members of Congress.

Gently convicted by courts-martial of

viewing the records of the trials, Secre-
tary Baker of the War Department re-
turned them to the trial courts with
the suggestion that sentences of dis
missal be reconsidered and that mort
severe penalties be imposed.
One case was that of First Lieut..

soldier in the advanced stages of pneu-
monia who reported for treatment was
reprimanded for failure to salute and

double duty.
< The other case was that of First
Lieut.. Charles w. Cole, Camp Beaure-
gard, in charge of the base hospital
An ambulance loaded with sick men
came to the hospital from the regi-
mental infirmary, it was shown at the
trial. and the officer kept the men wait
ing for nearly an hour outside in the
cold and rain before he went out to
look at them. When he did go out. it
was brought out that he ordered them
taken back to camp, as he had no room
for them. The ambulance driver told
the doctor that one man in his car was
delirious and might hurt himself or
others. The officer instructed him to
tie the patient up and take him back.
Two of the patients later died.
1t was shown also that while the base
hospital was crowded. the nine patients
could have been cared for.

The fear of famine. of coal tie-ups

felt on all sides.
Unlike its predecessors. which swept
over the middle west on the wings Of
sub-zero gales. today's storm, forecast
a. probably the worst yet experienced
by the city. came almost unheralded.
No Signs of Abatement.
The driven snow quickly effaced the
work of q hundred thousand shovelers.
The weather bureau held out no hope
of relief until tomorrow. Early tonight
seven inches of snow had fallen and
there were no signs Of abatement. The
temperature was 10 degrees above zero
Since the last blizzard the railways
have managed to clear their lines suf-
hciently to enable cars to reach the
coal mines in southern Illinois. Pend
ing the return of these cars. numbering
several thousand, the city has been on
almost q famine basis in it's coal supply.
Fuel officials Alarmed.
Fear that the new storm would clog
up the roads and prevent return of
these empties. thus precipitating a
serious situation, alarmed fuel and rail-
way officials. They declared that a
heavy snowfall Would tear down the
snow walls which are now piled along
the tracks and would make the work
of clearing them twice as difficult as
before.
From the railroads came the word
that tho situation was little less than
dfsheartening.

the entire central west> was swept by
