Washington, Dec. 0.-Resuming his argument in the senate today against the CumminS railroad bill destined to meet conditions when the railroads arc returned to private control, Senator La Toilette, republican, Wisconsin, declared the measure was framed in the interests of the railroad and not the people.

ACCUSED OFFICER IS
 PLEADING INNOCENCE
Counsel For Captain Detzer Attacks Reliability of
 Opposing Witnesses.

New York, Dec. 10.--Counsel for Captain Karl w. Detzer, charged Witn brutal treatment of American soldiers in France, questioned the reliability of the witnesses called against him when his court-martial opened at Governors Island today. He asserted that many of them had grievances against .Detzer and that their records would not bear investigation.
 GA detailed account of the allega tions against Captain DetZer is given in another column of this issue.)
 Objection to the trial was made by Lieutenant Thomas l.. Heffernan, counsel for Detzer, after the articles of war had been read. He contended that the accused had been arraignod on some of the charges on Noven- Der 25. The objection was not sus- tained, however, and Detzer pleaded not guilty.
 Major William E. Kelly, judge advocate, waived an opening state- 1nent, but Heffernan asked permis- sion to bo heard. He said that Le Mans, where Detzer is alleged to have maltreated soldiers, was a port of debarkation for many thousands of men and that among the mum ber were many criminals who were charged by the French with murders, highway robbery and other crimes.
 To curb this element, Heffernan said, a military police company was organized and DetZer placed in com- mand. In carrying out his work. counsel declared, Detzer incurred the enmity of soldiers who were arrested and others in his own company.
 Detzer had repeatedly given orders, use force upon another, and if force was used, he asserted, it was without the knowledge of the company commander.
