There are still those who believe that
we would have had better railroad SER
vice during the war had the roads re-
NAMED altogether in private hands, ev-
en- though it is fact that the roads
could not meet the demands made up
on them. In relation to this r. Il.
Ashton, formerly president Of the Chi
cago and Northwestern and the region
al director of the Northwestern region,
who was recently elected president of
the American Railroad association, in
a speech at Atlantic City said: ''What
has held the railroads together during
the last 10 monthss It has been the
railroad Enthusiastically has been the
central authority that said what ought
to be done, and how to do it, that has
held us together. We have made mis-
takes in the railroad administration,
dots of them-who has nqkf-they made
mistakes in all the allied countries
they are free to admit that they made
many mistakes in the condnct of the
war-but, on the whole, if it had not
been for the centralized control Of the
railroad administration, I doubt if we
could have gotten through the job as
well as we did. In fact, I know we
could not have done so.''

were evoked by such prophecies as that

Given Copies of Testimony
Gathered by Committee
Moss Is To Be Witness
He Will Be Forced to Give
Source of His Informal
ton, Investigators Insist

Criminal investigation by District
Attorney Swami and by Harry B. AL
exander, chief prosecutor of Albany
County, will be started shortly after
the Senate Judiciary Committee fin
ishes it's inquiry into the charges of
Senator George f. Thompson, of Mag
ara, that the Governorship and a cam
raign fund of s5O0,oo0 was promised
him if he would support the Carson
Martin increased fare bill
Senator Alvah H. Burlingame, jr., of
Brooklyn, declared that copy of the
minutes would be placed in the hands
of District Attorney Swami for his con-
sideration. Others connected with the
investigation say the same procedure
will be followed with respect to Dis
trict Attorney Alexander.
Members Of the committee are frank
in admitting that the mass of con-
Trajectory testimony is of such a
nature that further investigation is
advisable. Former Governor Charles
S. Whitman and Richard Fl. Burke, the
seller of street car supplies, who were
named by Senator Thompson, will be
called again as witnesses, it was said
yesterday.
Others who probably will be called
include Senator Henry M. Sage, of
Albany, and Major Theodore Douglas
Robinson, who quit politics temporarily
to join the colors. Major Robinson
was a member of the Senate in 1917,
when George W. Perkins was nomi-
mated by Governor Whitman as State
Food Controller. He and Senator Sage
made charges during the debates which
ended with the Senate rejecting the
nomination.
Both Sage and Robinson declared
during the debates that improper meth
DDS were used in the efforts to confirm
Perkins.
Ex-Governor Whitman, while being
cross-examined on Friday by Frank
Moss. counsel to Thompson, denied that
he had suggested to Senator N. Mon
roc Marshall, of Malone, that Mar
shsll's campaign would be financed if
he would vote for the nomination of
Perkins.
Members of the Senate Judiciary
Committee said yesterday that Moss
will be called as a witness and asked
to reveal the source of the informa-
ton he purported to have on which he
grilled Ex-Governor Whitman.

PrOgressives Balk
On Plan to Fight
PenrOse i'm Senate
NetU York Tribune
Wnsh;1, Ofo,1 Rure0n

WASHINGTON, May 10.-A fight for
an open caucus of Senators on May IA
was inaugurated here to-day by q
group of the so-called Progressives,
headed by Senator Borah, of Idaho.
The movement, which is intended to
align the Progressives against Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, as chairman
of the Finance Committee, and Senator
Warren, of Wyoming, as chairman of
Appropriations, created stir in Senate
understood that the fight against Pen
rose and Warren was practically over.
The following Senators agreed to
make the fight for an open caucus:
Borah, Jones, of Washington; McNary,
of Oregon; Johnson, of California;
Kenyon, of Iowa; Mccormick, of Hi
nois, and Norris, of Nebraska. Two So
called Progressive Senators, Gronna, of
North Dakota, and La Toilette, of Wis
consin, did not attend the conference
and were not parties to the agreement.
Borah Speaks for Progressives
The Progressive group authorized
Senator Borah and Senator Johnson, Of
California, to confer with Senator
Lodge, Republican leader, and inform
him that the Progressives had agreed
to oppose Senators Penrose and War
rem. In q statement made subsequent
to the conference Senator Borah, who
said he had been authorized to speak
for the Progressives, stated it was the
intention to make the fight on Penrose
and Warren both in the caucus and on
the floor of the Senate.
''1t was further agreed" said the
Senator chat we did not recognize
seniority rules as binding in these in
stances against the best interests of
the country and the party.
"The objections to Senator Penrose
are we'll known. Senator Warren was
at one time before chairman Of the
Appropriations Committee, and he was
not economical of public funds. More
over, he is not in touch with the needs
of the country now"
Borah Changes Statement
The Borah statement to the effect
that the progressives would carry the
fight on Penrose to the floor Of the
Senate was repudiated by the entire
group, although none of the Senators
wished to be quoted. In consequence
Senator Borah later amended his state
ment to say that "it was my under
standing" that the senators would take
the fight to the floor Of the Senate.
In Senatorial circles tonight there
was much adverse comment on Senator
Borah's statement. 1t was said that
he sought to pledge publicly the pro-
gressives to a fight on the floor of the
Senate in the hope that home political
influences would compel them to make
good on this programme.

$1,000 FOR EIGHT OF
OUNCE OF MORPHINE
New York Illicit Traffickers Doing
Business and on Profiteering
Basis.

New York, Aug. 25.--Health Com
missioner Copeland said yesterday
that an alarming illegal traffic in
drugs is being carried on In this city
and that he has information of prof
iteeling in narcotics greater than in
any othergline of merchandise.
A woman Of the highest social
stSndng, he said. recently had asked
him to visit her and had told him and
shown Him good proof that she had
paid $1,000 for an eight of an ounce
OF morphine within week. The
health scommissio explained that
she had sent for him in order to sec
ii there wereAa possible cure for the
habit. When told that there is, the
woman promised to be one OF the
first to take the treatment.
The health department has made q
table OF half the addicts who have
registered with undertakes to show
from what classes, trades, professions
nationalities, etc, the addicts come,
The table indicates that in this city
United States citizens are in vast
majority.
IN preparing the table questions
were asked regarding the reasons for
addiction Out of 1886 addicts treat
ed at the health department clinic at
No, 145 Worth street. 30 gave as the
cause the pleasure of the sensation.
Bad association was the leading
cause, 1928 addicts naming it, 9th
ers were curiosity, ~, insomnia, 6;
family trouble, u; pain, 1872: smok-
ing opium, so; Ilne1s, 2SS; discourg-
ed, 3, and alcohol I.
Nearly all OF these addicts, accord
ing to Or Copeland, are eager to be
cured and he does not expect any
difficulty in controlling those he win
soon send 20 hospitals for the last
part of the treatment, which win con
sist of buildings them up physically at
ter they are Off the drug altogether.
Out of 2776 addicts registered, the
health commissioner said inquiry
showed there are 9S actors, three
brokers', II buffers, "A chauffeurs, 1870
clerks, 10 conductors, Is cooks, 2S2

vendors, 1876 walters, three authors
and one newspaper reporter.
There is no doubt" continued Or.
Copeland, that many Of the automo.
bile accidents on the city's streets
are due to the fact that drivers are

drugs they are not dependable, and
if they have not had a sufficient

LAW OF SUPPLY AND
DEMAND MUST PREVAIL
Forced Release of Products VIII Not
Solve Problem of Higher
Living Costs

Washington, Aug. 25.---11ilat the in
exorable law OF supply and demand
will eventually find solution of the
high cost of living, and that the sale
of stored foodstuffs will have no per-
manent effect in bringing relief from
present conditions is the assertion of
the Republican Publicity association
in a statement given out today from
its Washington headquarters through
its president. Hon. Jonathan Borune,
jr The statement says:-
There is fundamental fallacy in
the theory that forced releases of
stored foodstuifs will have any mater
ial or permanent effect toward lower
ing the cost OF living. In the first
place, the amount Of food stored is
inconsiderable as compared with the
normal monthly consumption. In the
second place, while stored food tends,
to limited degree. to keep prices
up, that same stored food is con-
stant check on rising prices, for when
prices reach an abnormal stage the
stored food is released by the holders
in order to realize the profit. With
the stored food gone, there will be
no reserve supply to act as an auto
matte regulator, and holders of food
constituting the daily rations of the
country can then name their own
price.
"The grave problem of cost of liy-
mtg will be solved in accordance with
the universal law of supply and de-
mand--the scarcity of food inducing
or forcing many city people to aban-
don occupations of a non-productive
character to go back TO the land to
produce the fod they cannot buy at
famine prices. Moreover. the scarcity
and high prices of food will force
leaders of organized labor to aban
don their policy of limiting prodct-
ion Of manufactured commodities. For
several years there has been a move
ment for more pay and less work. With
the demand for more pay no fault can
be found, provided there be 70 class
favoritism. Neither can there be any
criticism of reasonable limitation OF
hours of labor limitations designed
to promote the health and welfare OF
the country-provided these limitations
are applicable to- all
But there is rank injustice, for
which the country must eventually
pay in a plan o. raising wages and
limiting production for the benefit of
Anly a small proportion of the popula-
ton. When raildoar and few other
limited classes of employees force ar
bitrary increases in their compensa-
