ference will be held within a few days,
at which an attempt will be made to
bring the Massachusetts senator and
several others into agreement ON such a
plan.
It was understood the reservation
group felt they had good ground for be-
lieVing that their proposal would be ac-
cepted by Mr.. Lodge and that enough
republicans then could be lined up to
insure success Of the movement intro
duced by the democratic leaders. Sena-
tors who have agreed on reservation
program are anxious that the treaty be
disposed ef at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and 1t is believed they will try to
impress that sentimene NJ the forthcom-
ing conferences with Senator Lodge and
others.

1t was at this point that Kisses came
from the gallery and drowned the Mis-
sissippi senator's voice.
Senator Williams continued that SEN
ator Lodge 'has always attempted to
make a show Of himself as being nom

ed Mr. Williams, "to scorn and cast OBJ

REPAIR BURDEN PUT ON
U. S. ALSO ACCUSATION

Washington, Aug. 12.-The
railroad brotherhood thru their
counsel, Glenn E. Plumb, today
laid before the house interstate
commerce committee their
charges of corruption in the
management Of the railroads
under private control. The
charges, announced as forth
coming a week ago, were that
many of the great railway sys-
TENS had been plundered sys-
tematically by the financial in
terests and that the railroads
already held millions of acres of
public land.
Eighteen representative rail-
roads of the country, the broth
erhood attorney asserted, issued
stock aggregating $450,414,00O
between 1900 and 1910 as
bonuses. The same roads, he
further charged, were "con-
trolled in whole or in part by
the Morgan interests, the Rookie
feller international and the
Gould interests"
Demands Investigation.
Coupled with the charges was
a demand by Mr.. Plumb that
congress make a thoro investi-
cation Of the matter SO that "the
American people may know to
what extent it is sought to sub
ject them to plundering."
There was no intimation as to what
course the committee might take in
regard to the request for an investiga
ton, Chairman Esch. in half dozen
questions indicated that to 60 into the
charges would be like travelling over old
ground. as they had been threshed out
long ago.
Plumb's statement to the committee
embraced II separate charges. The first
was that the nearly completed survey Of
the entire transportation system contain
ed in the reports OF sne valuation dl-
vision Interstate Commerce commission,
showed that the actual cost of reproduc
tion now was but 80 per cent of the
aggregate property investment accounts
Of the railroads.
Any Padding Was by Directors.
Investigation Of a recent statement by
President Underwood. or the Erie rail-
road, that payroll expenses of the rail
roads had been increased under federal
control to build up a political machine,
would show. Plumb said, that if there had
been wastefulness Of money in swelling
payrolls, "it had been at the instance of
railway management to make expense
accf unit under government control ap-
pear extravagant and wasteful."
Plumb also charged that when the |
roads were taken over by the govern
ment, they were in such depleted condi- |
ton as to maintenance md repairs that |
it las required Hundreds Of millions Of |
dollars advanced by the government to |
place them in effective shape"

ated Press. Large, but orderly, de-.
monstrations occurred here, Monday,
being led generally by the social democ-
rat element in protest against the coup
by which Archduke Joseph became the
head of the Hungarian government.
Beginning with the Rumanian in

servative elements of Czcho-S -Slorakia
were insistent that Czech army ad
vance into Hungary to protect their in
terests President T. G. Masaryk and
members of the ministry opposed such
movement. declaring that they desired
to coordinate with the great powers and
vasion which was in violation of the
armistce.
Fears are expressed that the reaction
arv element in Vienna will soon join,
forces with those back of Archduke
Joseph and will amalgamate the Austrian
and Hungarian states into an autocratic
government which will become the center
of autocratic propaganda in central
Europe This fear is shared by Czecho-
Slovak officials who desire steps taken
to prevent the new regime from succeed

between the parties forming the COM

methods the student learns business
as evil as bookkeeping; they learn
how to meet one another face to face
and transact business in a business
way instead of copying theoretical
transactions from a text book as is
done in other commercial schools in
the state. 1t takes more teachers and
better teachers to teach our system.
When a student learns to do at thing

thoroughly, and with our practical face

possibly get the theory, or socalled
