tlon for any alien convicted of any
Ieiony, are contained in two bills in

Presidents Right
To Initiate Rail
Rates Is Argued
Billion Dollars Added to
Operating Costs in Making
Change, Is Testimony of
Commissioners A. p. Thorn
NetD York Tribune
Wdehtn1tOn Buvsau

WASHINGTON, June 24.-That the
Senate's recent vote to deprive the
President Of the power to initiate rates
on the railroads while they remain un-
der government control and while he
still retains the power to increase the
costs of operation by wage increases
and other administrative policies
would, if made final, create an unde-
sirable situation, was one of the points
brought out in a hearing before the
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce to-day.
E. E. Clark, Interstate Commerce
Commissioner, and A. P. Thorn, coun-
sci for the railroad executives, were
the principal witnesses. According to
Mr.. Clark, the Senate's recent action
fails to give the President power to
fix intrastate rates, although it gives
him rate making power over interstate
rates. This legislation, it is stated,
is the beginning Of series of acts
which are expected to restore the rail-
roads to their owners.
According to Mr.. Thorn, to give the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
rate making power while the President
retained wage increases put IN force
by the Railroad Administration, added
approximately one billion dollars an
nually to the cost of rail transporta-
ton.
Mr.. Thorn recommended the enact
ment of several amendments to the
proposed law which would prevent rail-
roads from assuming liability for
claims which should, he argued, be
paid by the government. Commits
sioner Clark approved the provision in
the Senate bill for the payment dur
ing government control of judgments
obtained against the railroads.
Walter D. Hines, Director General
of Railroads, will testify tomorrow
upon the question depriving the Pres
!dent of the rate making power. He
is expected to Oppose that nlan.

of the people from participation in the
government" shall, upon being ascer-

ported.
A broad statute applying to any per-
son, citizen or alien, was introduced
by Representative Mays to protect the
United States government, its national
emblem, its securities, and its obliga-
tions, it's military and naval forces.
This resolution is designed primarily
to punish the propagandists operating
by speech or printed word to advocate
resistance to the United States gov
ernment, revolution, destruction by ex-
plosives, or the display Of the red flag.
The penalty for advocating such ac-
tions is set at maximum fine of $10,-
600 and ten years in prison. The same
penalty is set for bringing anarchistic
literature into this country.
Inciting mutiny and obstructing en-
listments would call for fine Of $5,-
900 or five years Imprisonment. OBJ
structing the sale Of government Sc
curities is punishable with a fine of
$4,000 and three years. Imprisonment.
Deportation in every case would be

election to membership, was alluded
to by M. Morizot tThibault, the presi-

address as the man who, despite the
hostility of a king, had succeeded in
placing Greece in a position to con-
tribute to the Allied victory.
Premier Ven'izelos in his address
paid tribute to the friendship of
France to- Greece and described the
attitude his country had taken toward
the war as one demanded by her good
faith and her traditions.
when the world war broke out"
the Premier said, 81 Immediately
realized that my country would not
preserve her neutrality to the end.
For many reasons, Greece could not
adopt a passive attitude. She could
not sit by and watch unconcernedly
the supreme struggle going on between
democracy and autocracy. Her best
national traditions prompted her to
side with France and England and
her defensive alliance with Serbia
made it her strict duty to stand by this
heroic nation if, as was almost Ger
tain to happen, Serbia should become
the victim of Bulgarian aggression"

Red may be the predominating tint

istrate Charles E. Simms, when Lizzie
Robitch, thirty-nine years old, of 1882
Beekman Avenue, The Bronx, was ar
raigned before him, charged with dis

arrested her in Madison Square Gar
den last Friday night during a So

Lusk committees raids. He testified
that she stood on chair and repeat

"Waving red hat is not a violation
of the law" remarked the court.

PARIS, June 22.-Departure of the
greater part of the American Service
of Supply homeward this month, and
the exaggerated statements of the
French press in the last few days to
the effect that the Americans were
burning up materials before leaving,
have given impetus to the negotiations
between the United States and the
Liquidation Commission of the French
government for the sale of the proper

Judge Edwin Parker, chairman of
the Liquidation Committee, is to meet
Paul Morel, of the French Ministry of
Finance, Thursday when, it is ex-
pected, final agreement will be
reached regarding the price the French
are to pay for the huge quantity of
material the American army brought
from the United States. Since France
is unable to pay cash this amount viii
be credited to the account of the
United States.
American business men in Paris in
terviewed by The Tribune correspon-
dent are generally favorable to the
deal, taking the view it is the only
possible arrangement whereby the
property can be proftably disposed of
Walter Berry, president of the Amer
lean Chamber of Commerce, said:
"This transaction is great step
toward cordial commercial relations
between France and the United States
1t is imperative that the United States
dispose of its property without delay
in order to speed the evacuation of it's
troops homeward and obtain some re-
turns before deterioration on a large
scale sets in. If the American gov
eminent profits the French people will
profit infinitely more. BY proper dis

should be able to reduce the high
prices now demanded. Meanwhile, the
