Railroad Boards
Financial Trouble
Explained by Hines

Pittsburgh, Pa, March H.
Financial difficulties faced by the
railroads and the railroad admins
tration were explained today by
Walker D. Hines, director general
OF railroads, in an address at the
Pittsburgh Chamber OF Commerce
luncheon.
Il take this opportunity" said Mr..
Hines, ito try to remove the impress
sion that the $753,000,00O appropria-
ton which was asked of congress
was needed to make up for losses
sustained by the railroad admins
tration. The appropriation was
needed and still is needed to enable
the government to carry expendi-
lures which will be gradually re-
funded by the railroad companies as
they are able to finance their re-
quirements otherwise.
when the appropriation of $780,
100000 shall be made, there will have
been appropriated for the railroad
administration q total of $1,250,000,-
900. OF this about $200,000,000 rep
resented the loss incurred in the
calendar year 1918"
The balance. Mr.. Hines said, rep
resents funds temporarily tied up by
the government in railroad opera
ton, distributed roughly as follows:
Working capital, $540,000.000;
loans TO be repaid by railroads,
540,000,000; estimated loans to be
made this year and later repaid,
$4,000. 900.

COUNCIL OF four
FIXES AMOUNT OF
WAR lNDEM NIFTY
French Frontier Question
Taken Up After Decision
on Reparation to Be
ExaCted From Huns.
BY Associated Press.

Paris, March 27.-The super.
council of the president and pre-
miers, now known as the council of
four, divided its labors today be-
tween the White House" and M.
Clemenceau's private Office, adjoin-
ing the war office.
The Franco German frontier was
the chief topic of discussion, this
following upon an agreement
reached last night on reparation for
war damages. 1t is understood that
this agreement includes the vital
point OF the total amount Of in
Cemnity, which will not be an
nounced at present as it is likely to
cause discussion and arouse hostility
in enemy quarters.
1t is noted as coincidence that
a German financial commission is
being chosen to come to Versailles,
where the settlement of this branch
may include all interests.
The frontier Question turns on the
disposition of the Saar valley coal
regions and the west bank of the
Rhine. The territorial experts have
said their last word and frankly de-
clare that it is question now of
political expediency, on which the
super-council alone can pass.
Marshal Foch and Gen. Tasker H.
Bliss were called into the council
during the afternoon, indicat ing that
military questions, including the
serious situation in Hungary and
Russia, were receiving attention.

Besides Bub and kirkmap, the
central figure in the sensational case
today is Herman Teschner, former
Omaha saloon man, alleged go-be-
tweent for the wMsky men and GER
tain officials, who turned states evil
dence to save himself from indict-
ment
That Teschner knows the work
ings OF the inside of the whole sys-
tenn of the bootleggiag traffic for
the last two years between this city.
Council Bluffs and Omaha, those in
a position to Know admit.
But how much he has told the
grand jury and whom he has -di-
rectly involved, besides Bud and
Kirkman. is what is worrying the
minds of the men~higher up in the
bootlegging traffic, particularly in
Nebraska and Iowa.
How far did he go and where will
it end?" is a question that is dis
cussed this morning in more cities
than St. Joe and Winthrop, suburb,
and the admitted fountain head for
the supply of bootleg whisky to the
large majority of dry towns in this
section of the country.
For years the people of Buchanan
county have been waging a hot fight
on Winthrop, the wettest spot on
earth" Many remonstrances have
been made and many hearings held
on the granting of the licenses. At
the hearing before the county court
last May, delegations were sent from
all over the county to demand a
cleanup" But as usual, and for rea
sons that indictments are expected
to explain, their efforts were i'll vain.
Those who opposed renewal OF the
dramshop licenses advanced the fol-
lowing reasons before the court:
That not sufficient names were
signed to the petitions.
That many of the signature"
we're forgeries, and obtained by
fraud.
That the names of school children
were used. -
That there appeared on the pc
titions the names of persons dead
at the time their names were signed,
including a soldier who had been
killed in France.
Winthrop Always wet"
That most of the signers were not
residents of the township in which
the saloons were situated, as requir-
ed by law. ..a.
That liquor was sold on Sundays
and that the proprietors were not
proper persons to conduct a dram
shop.
In 1884, when Winthrop, then a
thriving town with stock yards,
packing houses and other growing
business enterprises, was flooded by
the Missouri river and the entire
northern portion of the town went
into the stream, it little knew that
quarter of "a century later, with its
industries completely dismantled, it
would experience an endless wet"
season to which the inundation of
"a could not compare. For
Winthrop, now a village of IS build
ings, Il of them saloons, has for a
full decade enjoyed the name of be-
ing the "wettest spot on earth"
And no other place in all the United
States of America has ever deemed
it worth its while to challenge the
claim. Situated just opposite the
river from Atchison, gateway to the
great Kansas desert, this much-sa-
looned town has long been the Nee
ca of never-ending stream of pill
grims from the drouth country. As
many as 5000 automobiles have
been counted there on Saturdays
each departing, of course, with a
bullying cargo. Shootings and
fights are necessarily frequent,
although the public hears little of
these local affairs"
