Hits Liberty Bonds.
When Glenn E. Plumb appeared
before the house committee on Inter-
state Commerce in support of the
Plum Plan, he raised the question of
what effect a governmental guarantee
of dividends to private owners Of
railroad securities would have on the
Liberty bonds issued by the go kern-
ment itself.
PUT yourself in the place of d man
owning $4,000 worth. of war bonds
which he purchased at par said Mr..
Plumb. HE notes that theEe are
pending before congress many propo-
sitions whereby the public is asked to
guarantee either in rates or returns
an interest of not less than & per cent
upon 100000, 100000 of outstanding
railway securities, which now have a
~aiarket value not exceeding $13,o00,-
100000. He hears it claimed by those
Urging this guaranty that "a return OF
not less than per cenE will place
these securities at par and provide a
market where many seeking invest
ments can be induced to serve the
public in return for the further is
suance of such securities. Such q
guaranty will mean an advance in
value of from $4,000, 100000, their
present value to $4,000, 900, 900
their par value.
Owners Must Decide.
would you not ask yourself what
effect this would have! upon the Bonds
which you held, on which, the same
government had guaE Eanteed only 311
to Az per cent? Would you not be-
lieve that such action merely trans
ferred from the market value Of war
bonds to the market value Of railroad
securities, six or seven billion dol
lars? Would you; not believe that
your government bonds, if the desire
of the railroads a nd the financiers
was fulfilled, would be quoted at the
average Of present railway securities
while the railway Securities would be
quoted at the present market value
of government bonAs?"
The government has floated ap.
sa.oximately $4,000, 10000 of Liberty
botds and Victory bonds, depending
for security upon(the good will of the
government. They stand in exchange
value at nearly par. There are also
in existence about $4,000, 100000 Of
railroad securities, with a percentage
of fictitious vallfe so great that they
are worth in exchange not more than
two-thirds of par. Owners of these
Yailroad securities ask that they he
redeemed, broug int up to par, by the
government-th9L It they also be made
government bor4 IDS, and bearing in
terest at hig her rate than Liberty
bonds.
1t is a question for the owners Of
Liberty bonds to decide.

RAILWAY OWNERS ANCERED AT GOVERNMENT
W0UCH! ANARCHY:RE|GNS! :
HURRY SOLDIERS! WHILE
PRESIDENT IS F|DDl|NG!

WASHINGTON, SPIT. II, - An
archy reigns! Soldiers are neces-
sary at every strategic point. The
President fiddles while Rome
burns!
The above epitomizes shrek
by former United States Senator
Bourne, head of the Republican
Publicity association, who demands
that 'army units should be distri-
buted through the railroad centers.
The ex-law maker is blind to ev-
cry effort by the President and
other citizens of all political creeds
and classes to adjust these differ
ences. He sees all the cOlOrs in the
rainbow and in his frantic plea for
troops charge the President with
sitting ''serenely in the White
House, apparently oblivious to the
danger that confronts the nation"
In the meantime the railroad
shop men are voting to postpone
their strike and the railroad BROTH
erhoods are not even discussing
strike.

of high prices, and low wages.

slaughter in connection with the Brlgh.
ton line wreck at the Malbone Street
Tunnel. The defendant will be the
last witness, and the case is expected
to be in the hands of the jury by to-
morrow afternoon.
Five civil engineers testified for the
defense this afternoon that the safety
brake, about which there had been
much discussion, could not have been
used OH the grade because the tracks
were being moved constantly John v
Davis, of Flushing, a consulting engi~
neer, said the curve where the wreck
took place was an excellent one, and
that train could take it with perfect
safety at twenty miles an hour.
Antonio Luciano, motorman of the
wrecked train, contradcted several
points of the testimony he gave at his
own trial, which resulted in acquittal

Harvard graduate and brother of John
W. McKinnon, New York broker liv-
ing at 343 Riverside Drive, committed
suicide by slashing his throat with a
razor at William Muldoon's hygienic
institute, it became known to-day
Secrecy surrounded the act. Will
lam Mudoon, proprietor of the sani-
tarium, said the minister had been
there for treatment, but had been taken
away by his brother and had not died
there The death certificate, filed by
the undertaken in seeking permission
to send the body home, gave the in
stitute as the pace of death The GER
tihcate was the first news of the sui

six weeks undergoing treatment for
nervous breakdown. Saturday night he
attended dinner given by girls clubs
at Purchase, N. Y, and retired at 10
o'clock, in apparent good spirits His

OF Flier as Fake Hero
Captain Chamberlain, of Marine
Corps, Boosted Of Marvellous
Prowess in Air Feat

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.--Sentence of
dismissal imposed by naval court
martial on Captain Edmund George
Chamberlain, an aviator in the Marine
Corps, on charges growing out of his
boast of having defeated vastly su-
perior force of German airships on
the Western front, was approved to-day
by Secretary Daniels.
Chamberlain, a native of San An
tonic, Tex, a graduate OF Princeton
and of the University Of Texas, boast
ed that on July %, 1918, on a trip over
the British front, he had fought twelve
German planes, destroyed five of them,
damaged two others, and, sweeping
earthward with a damaged machine,
scattered a detachment of German SOL
diers He said that after landing he
took German prisoner by pretend
ing that Il compass was q bomb, and
then carried a wounded French officer
back to safety.
Denial Of the exploit by British off
GERS led to an investigation. Cham
berlain contended that the failure of
the British flyers to corroborate his
story was because he had used a Brit
ish machine, which would have result
ed in their courtmartial
Cham berlain's case now goes to Pres
ident Wilson for his final decision
After the court martial trial at Lon
don Chamberlain was returned to this
country, and pending review was held

Postal Telegraph Official
Attacks Burleson Charge
Deegan Says Postmaster Cen
cral Makes False Statement
and Acts Like Cuttlefish

William J. Dcegan, secretary of the
Postal Telegraph Company, replied last
night to Postmaster General Burleson' 8
explanation why he had not made use
during the war Of officials "of one par
ticular telegraph company" which chad
In every way possible discouraged the
handling of government business"
He declared that the Postal Company
had not avoided transmission Of gov
ernment messages, although carried at
loss, and that it had been commend
ed by high officials of the War and
Navy Department for it's cooperation.
He added the company did not have its
manager running around to. the diff
ferent departments soliciting mes
sages" and charged that the wasteful
use Of such facilities by the govern
ment was "scandalous."
"Burleson's statement that we with
drew our operators from government
departments is absolutely false" said
Deegan. "All operators in the depart
ments are paid by the government and
are government employees. Burleson
has been thoroughly discredited and
now scandal looms up in connection
with the compensation he gave the
Western Union and Bell Company, and
so like a cuttlefsh he is trying to
darken the waters"

Hughes and Smith
Plead States Need
Of Reorganization
Republican Legislature May
Have Full Credit if 1t
Will Back Reconstruction
BoardPlan, Says Governor

Governor Smith and Charles E.
Hughes, at dinner at the City Club
last night, united in asking for nom
partisan support Of the State T.econ-
struction Commissions program of re-
organization and retrenchment in the
state government.
Governor Smith told the three hun
dred diners, who greeted his remarks
with cheers, that if the Republican
State Legislature would support the
reconstruction plan and help enact it
into law he would promise to give his
political opponents all the credit for
the deed.
The Governor urged that increased
appropriations be made for some Of the
state agencies, particularly prisons and
insane asylums, at the same time that
sweeping economies were made to off
set them by cutting down the number
of boards and commissions from 1877
to eighteen. For his own Office the
Governor asked for increased power of
appointment and removal, together
with the abolition of purely clerical
tasks, such as the signing of paroles,
minor appointments and permits.
Speaking of waste in the present sys-
tenn, he said:
From the standpoint Of economy
tHeAe is Ho uouOI ondI tne Waste u"
this state is due entirely to the dupli
cation Of effort by different depart
ments. Inspectors of all kinds are
constantly travelling through the
state The State of New York is the
greatest patron the New York Central
Railroad has. We probably pay out
more money for travelling expenses
than any five concerns in the state
put together A great many good pee
pie work for the state for nothing on
ommissions, but they have to have
what saving there would be, but l am
sure if you consolidated all the bust
ness of this state into eighteen de-
partments and fixed the constitution So
that hereafter every new activity Of
the government has to 60 into one of
these departments, you would material
ly cut down the cost Of the state
government"
Judge Hughes expressed his high
personal regard for Governor Smith
regardless of political parties" He
said, in part:
"Unless we are to go into bank
ruptcy, we have got to have economy
in this country. Anything that prom
ises even a slight measure of economy
must be attempted. We started wrong
in this state by giving the Governor
too much power and we never got
right
"I'd give little for simplification in
the state government in the interests
of economy unless we had budget con-
troll. This scheme Is not going to
bring about the millennium, but it will
help"
Judge Hughes also advocated giving
to the Governor the power to veto
items or parts of items, SO that no de-
partment could become an "almshouse
for political derelicts."

do just what l did sooner or later.
