Revolt Crushed by Arrival Of
Loyal Troops Spreads to
Other German Cities.
.H|NOENBURC IN CHARGE.
Conflicting Reports Indicate That
Chancellor Ebert Has Obtained
Upper Hand In Teuton
Capital.

London, Jan. 11.-While the Sparta
can revolt in Berlin appears to have
been quelled by the arrival of loyal
troops rushed to the city by Chancellor
Friedrich Ebert, dispatches show the
rebels still on the aggressive in other
German cities. Reports were conflict
ing.
Spartacans, after seizing the reich
stag building and other public ediflces,
failed to take the chancellor's palace,
in which the Ebert government has its
offices, dispatches said. Later the Ebert
forces elected Liebknechts men from
most of the buildings they had cap
tured, according to these advices.
Fighting was especially severe around
the Silesian railway station. Sparta
Gus riots were reported dwindling in
violence after bitter machine gun
struggle, in which the civilian popula-
tion suffered heavily. i.
Outbreaks were noted in Essen,
Dresden and other centers. A Copen.
hagen dispatch said there was rioting
in Munich

together with the governments deci

the situation.

Executives of Railroads Advocate
Private Ownership and
Operation.
new CABINET OFFICER
Proposal Calls for Regulation Under
Secretary of Transportation, With
Guarantee of Adequate
Earnings.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Congress
now has before it three well defined
proposals for legislation dealing with
railroads.
Railroad executives presented to the
Senate Interstate Commerce commit
tee their plan calling for private own
ership and operation, under regulation
OF secretary of transportation, new
cabinet officer-with statutory guar
antee of adequate earnings; rates to
be proposed by the roads and subject
to review by the secretary of trans
portation and Interstate Commerce
commission and with the cabinet Off
Ger authorized to supervise pooling of
equipment, common use of terminals,
rerouting of traffic, mergers construc-
ton of new lines and issuance of Sc
curities
Previously the Interstate Commerce
commission had suggested policy of
private ownership and operation un-
der government regulation.
Director General McAdoo had advo-
Gated continuation of government con.
troll for five years and as an alterna,
tive early REIMBURSEMENT of the roads
from federal management.
Shippers to Present Views.
Shippers and representatives of
state railroad commissioners are the
two principal groups who have not
yet presented their views to the Sen.
ate committee.
Among the objections expressed by
senators to the railroads plans, out
lined by +. Dewitt Cuyler, chairman
of the association of railway execu-
tives, was that if government super
vision were vested principally in a
secretary OF transportation, politics
might play large part in railway
policies, and there might be no con-
stant policy containing through the
changes of administration.
These questions were raised by Sem
ators Cummins of Iowa and Smith of
South Carolina. Another objection
was if the railroads are guaranteed by
law an adequate return, they should
not also have power to determine
rates, even though these rates were
subject to veto by the secretary of
transportation and modification by the
| Interstate Commerce commission
| Senator Underwood of Alabama sug
| gested that the government SHOULD
have the authority to dictate details
| Of the rate structure.
