WASHINGTON, Oct. ia new policy
for control and development OF radio
communications was laid to-day before
Congress by Secretary Daniels. 1t pro-
vides for maintenance OF both naval and
private stations. with the latter under
control of a national radio commission,
and proposes to open existing or new
stations to general public correspond
ence at rates to be fixed by the Navy
Department and Congress. General pub
lie transoceanic correspondence through
naval stations would not be permitted
however, except during temporary sus-
pension of private service.
Private radio stations would be IL
censed by the national radio commission
and their corporate affairs, apparatus
operators and transmission rates would
be- under supervision of the commission,
which would be composed of four MEM
bers and secretary appointed by the
President with representatives from the
Navy. War, Commerce and Post Office
Departments. The secretary would be
an active line officer of the navy.
The commission would be authorized
toSassist Americans in establishing radio
facilities with foreign countries and rep
resent the Government in international

board meetings of private companies.
Under the new bill aliens or alien in
terests could not obtain licenses from the
commission, and all officers and d.
rectors or private radio companies would
have to be American citizens. A ma
jority of stock of such companies also
would have to be held by. Americans.
In presenting the bill Secretary Dan
iels struck out a provision in his pre-
vious tentative measure providing for
acquisition by the navy or existing sta
lions or those under construction and
that giving the Navy Department ex-
elusive control OF all radio operations In
the future.
Private radio companies would not be
permitted to affiliate with submarine
cable or land telegraph or telephone sys.

commission, and private companies would
not be permitted to operate in the Phil

B. R. T. SYSTEM WILL
Be SPLIT TO-DAY
Judge Mayer to Enter Order
This Afternoon to Take
Effect Monday.

Judge julius NJ Mayer will enter this
afternoon the formal order severing
Brooklyn's twenty-eight surface lines
from the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany for separate operation by the
owner, the Brooklyn City Railroad, be-
ginring at midnight Saturday.
Discontinuapce Of transfer privileges
between the Il. r. T. and the surface
lines and increases of fares from to
10, 10 to 20 cents In some cases, will
DO the consequence of the severance IL
the order follows that issued when the
Eighth and Ninth avenue lines were
separated from the New York Railways
System. The changes probably will be
effective Monday.
Carl M. Owen. counsel for Receiver
Garrison of the b. r. T.. announced in
tho Federal District Court yesterday af-
ternoon that the order would provide
for adequate equipment enabling the
surface lines to continue running under
the management OF the owners. and that
most Of the legal obstacles had been
overcome.
Edgar j. Kohler, Assistant Corporation
Counsel, who appeared at the hearing
read n motion of the city, objecting to
the severance. and In any case, to fare
or transfer changes. While not specifi'
cally denying the motion, Judge Mayer
replied that the court had no power &c
dictate the fare or transfer schedules
to the Brooklyn City Railroad. To. the
city's contention that the B. r. T. should
not turn over surface cars which 1t hat
contracted for the court said that &c
serve the public interest 1t would b'
necessary to provide for adequate equip
ment TO continue the operation of th'
surface lines.
In discussing the city's attitude Judg
Mayer drew from Mr.. Kohler the ad
mission that so far as he knew cit!
authorities had made no attempt t
learn the facts OF the transit situation
by consulting the books of the b. r. I
There IS only one remedy, and
very simple one" Judge Mayer said
1T is that the proper authorities shall

themselves OF what this court has re
peatedly stated, namely, every paper

When that is done there can live n

is a fair and proper remedy.
"A plain incontrovertible fact-lack o

Is a gradual disintegration which pre-

The charge upon which the Indictment
was based was the theft of leather
goods consigned by Pfiester vogel of
Milwaukee to Copenhagen. The ship

City and was put aboard a barge for
towing to South Brooklyn, then to be
transferred to a transatlantic steam
ship. The barge and tug berthed toward

was reported to the Brooklyn police and
a search was begun that ended with the
discovery of most of the loot in a garage.
Mr.. Ross said the operatives had found
Chapman at work changing the tags on
the stolen goods when they raided the
place.
In asking Judge Chatfield for 100000
ball. The highest amount, it Is said. that
ever has been fixed in Brooklyn for
grand larceny charge, Mr. Ross said the
defendants seemed to be so we'll supplied
with money that he feared to let them
out on bail. He cited the big bond fur
nished by the men after their arrest by
the police, and said he wanted to make
sure there would be no slip In the case.
He told Judge Chatfield there have been
a series of plunderings from harbor craft
within the last few weeks. and drastic
action was required.
Chapman and Haugen were arrested
by Sergeant Morrison and Detective
William c. Ihlefeld of the Railroad Ad-
ministration Secret Service. and Detec-
tive Mayer of the Brooklyn police. The

THE mistake which seems to have

1T is difficult for US to give credit

the short and rough road built by force
when they have at hand the smoother,
