Department
THE POLICE CALL NO HALT

Banners Borne BY The Women Con.
taine What Purported To Be Quo
tations From A Speech Made
In Carnegie Hall.

Washington. Bearing banners in,
scribed with quotations said to be
taken from recent speech by Sec
rotary Colby, the Irish pickets trans
ferred their activities from the British
Embassy to the State Department.
During the busiest hour of the aft
ernoon the pickets presented to the
gaze Of homeward bound war workers,
banners bearing the quoted inscrip.
tons:
There is not even scintilla OF
legality in England's claim to rule Ire,
land"
"The death of your martyrs has
called into existence millions Of Irish
by principle" and
Il cannot stand by mute and pas
sionless while these votive offerings
are laid upon the altar Of patriotism.
The banner bearer said the state
ments attributed to Secretary Colby
were taken from his address at Car
negie Hall, New York, May IA, 1915.
At the end Of an hour the pickets
withdrew to their Headquarters. A
squad Of police appeared onkthe scene
as soon as the banners were erected,
but no effort was made to interfere
with the picketing.
Resumption OF the patrol in front
Of the British Embassy has been def
niteiy postponed until after the trial
of the four pickets now under arrest.
Arraigned before United States Com
missioner Richardson, the quartet was
released on $1,000 bail each, after
pleading not guilty to a violation of
Section 4062, Revised Statutes, in hav-
ing "feloniously menaced bodily and
by violence the person of His Excel
lency, the Counsellor Of the Embassy
and Charge d'Affaires of Great Britain,
the Hon Ronald G, Lindsay"
One of the four prisoners was pro-
rounced ''indisposed" after her release
from detention.
"Just an attack of woman's nerves, "
her colleagues said.
None of the women Offered any com
plant against the food and lodging
afforded them at the House of Deten-
ton. Plenty Of Irish potatoes, they
SAID, were offered them, besides Hun
garian goulash and New England fam
| lily dinner.
The State Department refused to
comment upon the new situation re-
sultfng from the transfer of the patrol
from the embassy to the doors of the
department.

Director Hines Asks Congress
For $500, 727, 341
CLAIMS YET UNEsTlMATED
Roads Owe Government 1896, 8oS, 1865
Advanced For Operating Elk
penses And Better
ment.

Waskilgt Congress was asked
formally Monday to appropriate $500.
727,341 to wind UP the affairs of the
Railroad Administration.
In requesting the fund, Walker D.
Hines, Railroad Administrator, placed
the loss resulting from the Govern
ment's experience in Federal control
at $90O,478,756. In addition the Gov
eminent has $966,S03,366 owing it by
the roads, the money having been adj
vanced for operating expenses and
betterments. Ultimately this sund
will be repaid.
Mr.. Hines explained that no allow.
ance had been made in his request to
cover any claims the roads might
have against the Government for
maintenance of the lines, because the
net amount for this purpose could not
yet be estimated.
Before the carriers were returned
to private operation last March Con-
gress appropriated $1,450, 100000 for
the expenses of the Railroad Admin
istration and the new request to Iqui-
date its affairs would bring the total
appropriations to $1,S70,727,341.
The losses incurred by the Govern
ment included s677,513,152 for the OPP
GRAFTON of the so-called class one roads.
Operation of smaller lines. sleeping
and refrigerator cars and steamship
lines caused a loss Of $43.011, 129, and
inland waterways s2,449, 739. The
American Railway Express was OPP
Grated at loss of $38,1l1,742, while
miscellaneous losses were listed as ag-
gregated 5,43S,014 In addition, the
expenses of the central ard regional
organizations of the Railroad Admin
istration were $13,954, $50, and $3,445,-
222 will be required for its expenses
from last March until next January.
Under the transportation act, s$270.-
OFFSETS of the $966,S0S.36s due the
Government by the roads will be fund
ed for period of 10 years. This was
advanced for improvements. An addi-
tional 1857, 1906 1858, advanced for equip
ment purchases, will be payable in is
annual installments. In addition, the
Government sold $144,422,526 of one
year notes of the carriers, $44,433. 664
of long term notes, $S5.221.199 Of
stocks, bonds or receivers certificates
and $90,258,305 as miscellaneous in
vestments." The inland waterways
owe the Government $14,581,126.
Mr.. Hines letter also showed that
the Railroad Administration expended
$765 ,821,450 for improvements on the
roads, but Of this amount he listed
SOCIALISTS as the probable deduc-
tons to be made under the Railroad
bill for debts owed to the lines by the
Government in the form of rent.
