While only 15T of the Austrian pris-

RAILROAD BILL
SURE TO PASS
is PROPHECY
Administration Forces Are
Confident of Success
in House.
Considerable progress was made in

Considerable progress was made in
the House yesterday in the enact
ment of the administration railroad
bill Every indication is that it will
pass the lower branch in the form In
which the Presidents friends put il
through the Senate Friday night.
The only amendment OF consequence
adopted is that which the Senate &C
cepted directing that short line rail-
roads of a 100000 investment or
more be taken over by the goven-
ment. 1t was adopted overwhelming
ly without a roll call.
All efforts of the radicals Of the
House to put through amendments
looking 70 government ownership
after the war, were voted down, as
they were in the Senate.
Representative Dowell. Of Iowa,
leading the radicals, proposed one
after another the amendments
which Senator Cummins Of the
same State espoused in the upper
branch.
Final passage OF the bill is ex-
pected tomorrow or Tuesday
The only changes in a day Of hard
fighting, made more favorable to
the roads the terms under which
they are to be controlled.
One such change brings all short
lines under the Federal system on
a basis giving a more iron-bound
guarantee than the Senate proposed.
So overwhelming was the viva voci
on this amendment that Chairman
Sims. representing the administra-
tion, did not ask for a roll call.
Another amendment, by Represen-
tative Montague, Of Virginia, provides
that roads which spent annual
amounts in rehabilitating their sys-
TENS in the three-year period. may
make separate agreements with the
President for larger compensations
than the three-year average.
All other proposals, including at
tempted amendments by government
ownership men, were defeated de-
cisively.
There still remains however. the
contest on how long the roads shall
remain in government hands after
the war-the point on which govern
ment ownership men will make their
hardest fight They will attempt TO
have the carriers retained a mimi
mum of three years after the struggle
TO give the country an opportunity to
test government control in normal
times.

who knew him as the most liberal and

Upon Thrills After
Plain Joyride.

Of the British Royal Flying Corps,
here yesterday afternoon. 1t was the
first time that either one Of the three
had ::been up in an. airplane.
Not satisfied with his first joyride,
the blind Representative asked for
more thrills.
Fine! F'iner' he exclaimed as the
machine came to a halt. But, Col
Lee, II you wouldn't think me a
nuisance, I would like to go back up
and turn over"
The biplane was wheeled into posi-
ton again. and OF 1t shot on a trip of
real sensations Climbing rapidly to
about 1000 feet, Col. Lee started the
machine into a series OF dips and
dives. calculated to make ones hair
stand on end. The airplane was made
to roll over sideways and then drop
into a beautiful nose spin.
The passengers aghtiess eyes were
blinking with delight when his wife
ran out onto the field to assist him
from the machine.
Senator New, the first passenger OF
the afternoon, was taken to various
points over the city. circles being
made over the White House, Capitol
and Washington Monument.

Businessman Mistaken
For Hun Spy--ApoLogies

and when Harman breezed in Thurs
day afternoon, the eyes OF two Sc
cret Service men were fastened on
him from a position near the door.
Harman again failed to present
credentials from his firm. 1t is said.
He had only Letter from Mai.
Sterret, detailed to the Council of
National Defense. Lieut.. Dickey
grabbed the phone and got into
communication with the major. who
said that he had met Harman and
described him.
Harman was taken into a small
room, Lieut.. Dickey stated yesterday.
and put through the mill. He asked
to be allowed to telephone to his firm.
Hello. Brandt" he said. This is
Harman. They think I'm q German
spy. Tell them who am. and who IN
the name Of Caesar are the other
two?'
so We were told that Harman was
the real man and that the other two
were also %. r., tae mistake being
that Harman had come to Washington
without the knowledge Of those who
sent the others. 1t has all been

CENT
REGISTRANTS
HERE GASSED
1874 District Men Nov
Classified Through Siren
uous Work.

The total number OF registrants
classified in the District of Columbia
to date is 25.S74, which is 76.s Of the
registrants.
Glass four, with $50 registrants.
contains only ss4 less than class one.
with s,sO6. Class I'VE contains 3,2s2
registrants, in contrast with 1,521 and
1,925 in classes two and three, respec-
lively.
The total actually classified by To-
cal boards. not listed as finally
classified because the time limit for
appeals from classification have not
yet expired. Is 1850 This means that
there are less than s.ooO .fegistrants
awaiting classification.
The great saving effected in the
District. according to Mr.. Donovan,
has been largely due to the prefer
ence Of volunteer service on the part
Of about fifty employees Of the Dis
trict service, who have worked for
the District during the day. and the
United States army at night, assist
ing in the draft work. Many Of these
employees have worked from ten to
fourteen hours a day.
Another large economic factor was
the refusal Of members of local
boards to accept remuneration for
services rendered. Because of the
volunteer services of these local
board members, $500 was saved dur
ing this draft, and an additional 81
900 was saved by volunteer services
Of physicians Of local boards who
volunteered to examine registrants
without pay.
Under the supervision G. r. De-
witt and Charles Hart, 264 school
teachers of the District have COM
pleted industrial classification of
$4,000 of $4,000 registrants of the
District. All Of this work, which
Is almost as intricate as that of
classifying registrants for service,
both tasks being done by question
naires. has been accomplished with
out the expenditure of one cent,
in the way of remuneration to
teachers by the District. Teachers
working on questionnaires in Lo-
cal Boards Nos. 4, Z, and IL have
already nnlshed. Late last night it
was expected that those at work
on Local Boards Nos. l and s would
complete their tasks before going
home.
Too much praise cannot be given
these teachers" declared Mr.. Dono-
van. They and their supervisors
have worked with remarkable
hdelity to their duties and with a
spirit Of cheerfulness which cannot
be described. They have certainly
done much Of their bit in this war"
Capt. Raymond o. Wilmarth, who
has worked side by side with Mr..
Donovan also came In for praise
from his chief.
| Capt. Wilmarth has worked
night and day, from or 10 in the
morning to midnight, on many oc-
casions. to get details Of the draft
out OF the way" said Mr.. Donovan.

DUTCH CAPTAINS
PAPERS STOLEN
May Aid German Raider to Prey on
Allied Commerce.

Baltimore, Feb. 2s.-Naval intelli-
gence and Secret Service operatives
are securing Baltimore, and, in fact,
the entire country. in search of the
papers Of the Dutch steamship Clio,
which left this port for Norfolk on
Thursday. after her master. Capt.
Mesdick, had been robbed on in
valuable documents while in the call
room of the local customhouse.
The Clio, which is operating under
the direction of the United States
government, through an agreemnt
with Holland, Is now held up at Nor
folk, prohibited by all the laws of
the sea to leave American waters be-
cause she lacks any official document
which might assert her indentifica-
ton.
Capt Mesdick's portfolio would
come in very handily to Germany.
The spy who stole it might easily go
to Mexico or some other nearby neu-
trail territory and mail Them to Kiel
or Bremen. where they would be
placed aboard German raider.
which might then sail the seven seas
with perfect immunity under identi-
fication of the stolen papers.
1t was pointed out by government
officials tonight that IL the matter
were kept a secret, a German mer-
chantman, after having appropriated
the papers, could sail as THE Clio"
and easily get by the British and
French patrol boats in the barred
zone, in either direction, and carry
on a trade with neutraIs under the
same false colors, and at intervals.
