HINES DEFENDS
FEDERAL RAIL
CONTROL
Ownership Protected In
vestors- To Be Returned
In Good Condition.

Strongly defending the efficiency
Of government operation of the rail-
roads. Director General Walker n
Hines, in an open letter TO the Edl-
tor OF the Newspapers Of the Uni
ted States" yesterday declared that
investors in railroad securities have
been better protected than they
would have been without Federal
control
Charges that the railroads are to
be turned back to the private own
ers on March ! in a -dilapidated'
condition were utterly untrue the
letter states
Increa,e Less Than Business
Mr. Hines in his letter. lays par
ticular stress upon the fact that
had increased rates been placed In
effect six months earlier than they
were there would have been no
deficit whatever for the entire pc
riod OF government operations n.
points out that the entire average
increase Of freight and passenger
rates from 1914 to 1919 did not ex-
coed 80 per cent, while during the
same period private enterprise
charged the public from so to $50
per cent more for its products
- az instance OF this. the letter
cites the case of the United States
Steel Corporation. whose operating
costs increased from s4s4. 500, 900 in
1914 to $1.24o.8O0.OOo in 1918. or ISL
per cent
Great Difficulties.
The letter recites in detail the ex-
ceptional difficulties encountered
from the outset by the Railroad Ad-
ministration in the way of con-
stantly rising costs of material and
cipal of the eight-hour day as ap-
labor. The letter defends the prin-
piled to the employees of the rail-
ways, and cites figures to show that
increased wages paid them were not
as great as the increases granted by
industry in general.
The refusal of Congress to enact
legislation for increasing railroad
facilities and providing additional
equipment has compelled the opera
tion of the roads with equipment
that was insufficient. At the same
time. the letter concludes. the rail-
roads were compelled to carry, an
extraordinary volume of business,
including the transportation of over
100000 soldiers, sailors and Ma
rines.

COURT IGNORES

OF NEVBERf7
Merits of Candidates Not
Issue in Fraud Case,
Says Judge.
CHARGE HELM AS TOOL
Former Food Inspector
Used by Party to Split
Ford Vote.

Grand Rapids. Mich Feb. a.
Something suggestive of the turn
ing of the worm occurred today in
Federal Court just before the first
witness was called to testify
against United States Senator Tru-
man H Newberry and the 123
others. charged with conspiring to
expend unlawful sums of money to
obtain Mr.. Newberrys election over
his Democratic opponent. Henry
Ford
James W. Helme, one of the de-
PENDANTS. former State food and
drug inspector and for a long time
editor of a farm publication The
Patron appeared in the Demo-
cratic primary against Henry Ford
for the United States Senatorial
candidacy. The government has
charged-and the defense admitted
that Mr.. Helme was put in the
Democratic end OF the primary
race by Newberry politicians who
were anxious to divide the Demo-
cratic support of Henry Ford The
suggestion also has come from the
prosecution that Mr.. Helme may
have been financed in his cam
paign by Newberry supporters
HeIme Squirms
Mr. Helme had squirmcd in his
seat as Assistant Attorney General
Frank G. Daley eXcoriatcd him
during his opening statement to
the jury. And this evening Mr..
Helme had occasion again to wrig-
gle rather uncomfortably when the
leading counsel for all the defend
ants, James o. Murfin. admitted
candidly that Mr.. Helme had been
projected into the primary cam
paisn, a victim of spooiing.
THEY tthe Newberry campaign
generals) frankly did work Jim
Helme," the urbane defense at
torney told the jury. They put
him into the running in order to
force the Democratic voters to
vote in their own primary. But
Helme did not get any money. He
did have the pleasure of getting his
name on tie ticket"
Patriotic duty" drove the l2I men
on trial to do everything possible to
elect Newberry. James o. Murfin, at
torney for the defense. said.
Murfin's statement was in answer to
claims made by Prosecutor Frank c.
Daley, who pictured a campaign
where enormous amounts" of money
were used to purchase votes and buy
political support.
Judge HnIts Discussion.
In analyzing what these defend
ants did. the atmosphere under which
they did it must be considered" he
said.
when Henry Ford announced his
candidacy on June "a. 1915 the fate of
the civilized world was hanging in the
balance. The last German drive was
at its height; the advanced armies
were within thirty miles of Paris, and
the channel ports were threatened"
Judge Sessions warned Murfin to
avoid a discussion of the merits of
candidates when the attorney at
tempted to draw a comparison be-
tween the war records, of Henry
Ford and Newberry.
This is not time for such an ar
gument," Judge Sessions said.
II want to show the purposes Of
these mems activities" declared
Murfin.
IF they made Illegal cxpendi-
lures of money during the campaign
it makes no difference" the court
ruled.
