Sponsor for Plan of Public Ownership of Railroads Appears Before
 House Committee.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Leadin g directly from Wall street, and from the banking houses controlled directly by the Morgan and Rockefeller groups" information which has come into the possession of the railroad brotherhoods showed that there has proceeded a systematized plundermg of virtually all of the public trans portation highways in the United States" the house interstate com merce committee was told today by Glenn E. Plumb, of Chicago.
 MT. Plumb, who appeared in sup- port of the so-called Plumb plan for the reorganization of the railroads, said the information tended to show that the "wrecking and footing" of the New Haven, Chicago and Alton, Rock Island and 'various other roads were not Sporadic examples of the highway robbery to which the American nation has been subjected as to it's public transportation high ways"
 Glenn E. Plumb is Chicago lawyer who first presented the rail- road brotherhoods plan for public ownership and private operation of the railroads to the senate last Feb ruary and is before the house inter- state commerce committee to present arguments in support of that plan, which has been incorporated in the Sims bill now pending in the house. MT. Sims has explained that he intro duced the bill by request, as he would any other.
 Besides discussing the principles underlying his plans for disposition of the roads, MT. Plumb spoke on behalf of labor as holders of Liberty Bonds. He contended that it was not fair for the government to guarantee a return of per cent. on 10000, 100000 of outstand ding rail- way securities which now have a market value of not exceeding $13, 1000, 100000. while owners of Lib erty Bonds, many of whom mort gagged future earnings to aid the gov ernment in the war, received a return of only F to 41a per cent.

Attorney Murphy insisted that the jury be charged that only the common mean ing of the word Anarchist be con- sidered, and denied that the right of fair comment applied to the plaintiff because he was not a public official.

s. H. Riddle, Grocer, Refuses To
Aid H. C. L. Investigators.
Clyde Reed Checks Matter Up
to Attorney General.

Women canvassing the city today to
obtain grocery prices in the cam
paign to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing here met one man who refused to
give them any information, according
to Clyde Reed. secretary to Gov. Henry
Allen.
The information of the refusal of
s. H. Riddle, who owns a grocery
store at SOL West street and another
at s34 Monroe street, to give the wom-
en- any information regarding his
prices. first came from the women
themselves. Reed said. He stated that
he then called up the Monroe street
store and was informed by the mana
ger there that Riddle had given in
structions not to give out prices.
No Time To Bother.
Reed said he then called up Riddle
personally. The grocer told him. ac-
cording to the secretary, that he had
no time to be bothered, and asked to
know what business It is of the gov
ernor's what prices he is charging for
his goods.
Reed stated that the matter would
be checked up to the attorney gen.
eral at once.

CARED FOR WOUNDED KANSANs.
States Welcome Association in N. Y.
Looked After Needs of 600.

New York, Aug. 14.-More than 500
wounded Kansas soldiers have been
cared for in New York City by the hos
pital visitation committee Of the Kan
sas Welcome association in the past
five months. according to an official
report of the committees activities.
Most of these men spent less than
forty-eight hours in this vicinity be-
fore being shipped to other hospitals,
but to the men who stayed attention
has been given. Owing to the regula-
tionE at all military hospitals barring
visitors unless they had been sent for
by patients, the Kansas committee
adopted the plan of writing letters to
every wounded man from the Sun
flower state as soon as he arrived, sug-
costing that some one from home"
would visit him If he mailed the en-
closed postal card"
Many of these cards were returned
and to the wounded men the Kansas
committee carried flowers and Kansas
newspapers and anything else they de-
sired, tho most of the wounded mems
wants are filled regularly by the Red
Cross. Those soldiers who could get
outdoors were taken automobile
riding.
The report Is signed by Mrs. Mar
guerite F. Daley. chairman, the wife
of Clarke G. Daley, formerly of To-
peka To her the credit is largely due
for the success of the hospital COM
mittee's work. in the opinion OF Of
ficials at the Kansas headquarters.
