DATE OF RETURN
OF ROADS MUST
Be POSTPONED
Legislative Situation Will
Not Permit Government
To Let Go Jan. |.

Return OF the railroads to their
private owners, originally scheduled
by President Wilson for January 1.
will have to be indefinitely deferred.
This Is now believed to be inevitable
because of the situation which has
developed in connection with the
preparation Of regulatory legisla-
tion necessary to meet conditions
arising with the termination Of
Federal control
Leaders in both the Senate and
House have given up hope of pass
ing the bill during the present ses-
sion and are now making plans for
it's consideration early in the regu-
lar session that begins in Decem-
ber. Representative Esch. chair
man of the House Interstate Com
merce Committee. stated yesterday
that it will be impossible to report
out the measure until late in Oc-
tober.
A subcommittee OF fve has been
charged with the task of studying
the testimony submitted by several
score of witnesses and analysing
the various plans which have been
presented. The subcommittee then
will draft a bill for consideration by
the full committee.
Most of the members of the House
are looking forward to an adjourn
ment by November / that they may
spend a few weeks at home before
the grind of the long regular ses-
sion begins. They will be in no
mood to go into a tedious fight on
such an important problem.
With this sondition confronting
the country and universal recog-
milton of the fact tnat return to
private ownership without adequate
legislative safeguards will precipi-
tate an industrial disaster. 1t is vir-
tually certain that q resolution will
be passed asking the President to
defer the date for terminating Fed
eral control. There is little doubt
that the President will comply with
the request, members Of Congress
assert.

Last night. at police headquar-

William Henry Ford. former soda

the murder mystery.
In a series of inconsistent state
ments. detectives say, Sylvia en-
deavored to switch the crime to
Ford. who had no trouble in estab-
fishing an alibi.
Information in the hands of the
detectives shows that Sylvia is max
ing a premeditated attempt to throw
the responsibility upon Ford.
