Wilcox for Municipal Lines
Advocates Public Ownership of
Street RAILWAYS Before MAYORS

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, June IL
Delos F. Wilcox advocated public
ownership of street railways in an ad-
dress before the State Conference of
Mayors here tonight. He said the
foundation of the electric traction
structure was rotten" and declared
that the companies were courting per-
mancnt ruin by pursuit of rate
policy that tends to diminish useful
ness to the most profitable sort of
traffic.
at seems strange indeed" he said,
chat the Legislature was unable to
bring itself to the point of passing an
act that would put the municipalities
in the position, theoretically at least,
where they could take hold and help
solve the street railway problem.
The chief defect of the present
system, according to the speaker, was
the constant struggle of the private
operating companies for bigger CAPT.
talization or a bigger capital value.

% Some DishOnesty''
To Be Barred i'm War
Probe, Says Clark
Ex-Speaker Urges That Some
Faults BE Excused Be-
cause of Fine Job Done
in SSWhaling'' Germany
Ne,p York. Tribune
Washington Bureau

Nep York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Some ex~
travagance, some proftecring and some
dishonesty will be uncovered bv the
House investigation of the War De-
partment, Champ Clark, Democratic
floor leader, predicted in the House to-
day. However, the President. the
Senate and the House all were green
as gourds" when it came to making
war, he added, and for this reason
some faults should be excused, in view
of the fine job that was done in
"whaling" Germany.
The former Speakers remarks were
made in connection with a resolution
authorizing the special investigating
committee to employ attorneys for ex-
amining witness and expert auditors to
go over the books Of the War Depart
ment, which later was adopted without
objection.
II tell you what believe will be
found out when this is all investigated
and that is that there was some ex-
travagance, a good deal of it growing
out of the hurry with which we did
things, and that incompetents were
found here and there" Representative
Clark said
There are good many profiteers
and l wish every one was in the peni-
tentiary. do not care whether he is
big or little fellow l would not
be at all surprised if somewhere along
the line they found some absolute dis
honesty-not much, but some with
some underlings. 1t has been that way
in every war we have had, the Civil
War, and even in the brief war with
Spain.
What we want, and l suppose what
you Republicans want, is a fair deal
in this examination; but my suggestion
is that everybody quit nagging and
criticizing and lampooning until we
ascertain the truth as the result of
this investigation"

Federal Judge Erwin S. Thomas de-
cided yesterday afternoon that the
books Of the Coastwise Lumber and
Supply Company, on trial in the Brook

sp'racy to defraud the government.

SION was severe blow to the govern
rents case. which had been built up
largely on matter found in the can't
urcd documents.
Judge Thomas's opinion, the read
ing OF winch took hour and 25 min
utes. declared that, as the affidavits on
which the search warrant was obtaine
were based on suspicious rather than
lacts' the constitutional rights of the
defendants had been invaded, and the
evidence obtained could not be used
against the company.
Alter the reading of the decision

that the government attorneys could
determine whether to continue the
case on other evidence. Judge Thomas
ruled that some of the documents
wanted might be obtained by a process
OF duces tecum. The case was resumed
IN the afternoon without the seized
papers and under the restricted testi-
moNy.
James T. Lynch, lumber inspector,
fofmerly with the Army Transport
Service, testified that he had inspected

ant company, and that there were dis
crepancies between his measurements
and the measurements of the company.
