 RAILWAY BIL

NEW YORK, Feb. 2I-ApprOYal of the railroad bill, now awaiting action by the president, was expressed at a meeting here today of executives rep resenting approximately 90 per cent of the country's railways, who discussed the provisions of the bill in connection with the resumption of private owner ship on March l. In a statement is sued at the close of the meeting. the executives predicted that the proposed legislation would be successful if the credit of the carriers is made sufficient to enable them to perform their pub- lie duties"
 According to the executives, the rail ways are approximately five years be- hind in operating Equipment as whole. and sufficient credit must first be established before the carriers could begin the task of overcoming that deficit. It was estimated that the roads are three years behind in pass enger cars, two years behind in loco motives, one year behind in freight cars and two years behind in Pullman cars.
 With the resumption of private con- trol, and under the provisions of the bill every agency connected with the operation of railways is upon trial, the statement said

 DRAF I EVASION
Worlds Heavyweight King, With Manager, Conspired To Evade War Service, Says Grand Jury Report; The Second Indictment Against Dempsey Charges Actual Draft Evasion
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27-William Harrison (Jack) Dempsey heavyweight champion of the world. and his man ager, Jack Kearns, were indicted by the federal grand jury here today on a charge that they conspired to have Dempsey evade the selective draft. A second indictment against Dempsey charged actual evasion of the draft.
 Warrants were sworn out for their arrest and their bonds fixed at S1.O00 each. The conspiracy charge provides for a maximum penalty of two years in the penitentiary and S2.000 fine and the evasion charge one year in prison.
 Follows Thorough Probe
 The indictment followed weeks of in- vestigation conducted by F.. NJ. Blan- ford, chief of the department of justice bureau of investigation, and Colonel C. NV. Thomas, assistant United States district attorney here- The investiga- tion was prompted by public charges by Maxine Dempsey. divorced wife of the pugilist. that she had been com pelled to attest Dempsey's claims for exemption
 Subsequently Mrs Dempsey, pre- sented an affidavit to Colonel Thomas in which she retracted the charges. saying they had been caused by pique against Dempsey. This affidavit figures in the grand jury inquiry. Mrs. Dempsey. Frank Spellman, a rep resentative of a moving picture com pany. number of characters promi- nent throughout state sport circles and executives of the draft board, which exempted Dempsey, appeared before the jury.
 Federal officials said they were ad- vised that Dempsey and kearns would arrive here tomorrow to surrender themselves.
 Say Support Claims False
 Dempsey was charged with having falsely sworn that his father, mother. widowed sister and her two children were dependent on him. that he had contributed s20 month each to their support during thes year 1917 and that they were receiving support from no other sources.
 Dempsey's statement to the draft board that his wife had lived with him for s months previous to his appear auce before the board and that his parents and widowed sister had made their home with him for four years, were false. according to the indictment.
 Say, dear, if 1 ask you would you, if l wanted you to, swear to an affidavit that I was supporting you tsee)." Dempsey wrote his wife, Maxine Dempsey, in August, 1917, the indict- ment asserted.

 Tn subst tance, that MT. MaNnus had some time in the fall of 1917. after the deportations, said to her that it was wrong and that it ought not to be allowed: that was the substance of it. I cannot give you the exact words"
 RosIke questioned the defense law yer concerning his employment and checking up of prospective jurymen and witnesses and then called MT. Beaten to the stand.
 Denies Visit by Attorney
 Do you know Bruce Stephenson ?" asked Roake.
 Well, l used to know him, about five or six years ago, about the last time I saw him."

 ''I haven't seen him: this is the first time I have seen him in five years that I know of" ute or two. The defense did not cross ute or two. Teh defense did not cross examine him and he left the witness chair after making the statement flat 1y contradicting the one of Stephen sons, in which the defense attorney testified he visited the Beaton home
 After court adjourned Roarke called Beaton into his chambers and the in- formation charging perjury was drawn up and sworn to.

 Major Schroeder lost consciousness when his machine had reached a height recorded by instruments as 36.O2O. or 5,020 feet higher than the worlds rec ord established by Roland Rohlfs last summer.
 His senses numbed and his eyes frozen shut in a temperature said to have been 67 degrees below zero, Schroeder regained partial conscious ness when 2,0O0 feet above the earth in time to right his machi.s and pre- vent it from crashing to the ground out of control.
 Major Schroeder was temporarily blinded and his limbs were numb, de- spite the electrically heated suit in which he was encased He was suf- fering from the effects of a lack of oxygen. When nearly seven miles above the earth, his oxygen tanks be- came exhausted and it was this which robbed him of consciousness, causing the fall.

REVENUE BUREAU HEAD ANNOUNCES HE WILL RESIGN
Republican A. P. Leased WireJ


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of internal reve- nue, has informed governmental offi- cialS of his intention to resign shortly. Although his formal resignation had not been received tonight at the white house, the matter of his successor is understood to be under consideration.
 Beyond the fact that he plans to re- turn to private life, no information as to the future plans of MT. Roper was available here tonight, as the corsAnB- sioner was absent from the city The resignation. however, it was aScer- tained, will not become effective for several weeks, MT. Roper having con scented to remain at the head of the revenue bureau until after income tax returns for the past year have been filed and the collection of such taxes, the first instaIlment of which is due March 15, is well under way.
 In returning to private life, MT. Roper will end a long public career as the administrator of the greatest tax collection agency ever organized, which last year gathered approXi- mately sS,O0O, 100000 in government revenues. He became commissioner of internal revenue in September, 1917, just as the war emergency caused ab- normal increase in all federal taxes and necessitated the expansion of the bureau from small peace time affair, concerned chiefly with imposts on all cohol and tobacco, into a tremendous machine reaching into the pockets of millions of citizens for increased in- come taxes and into the records of corporations and partnerships.
 MT. ROper'S bureau was given the task of enforcing nation wide prohibi- ton by the Volstead enforcement act, and he utilized the personnel and ma chinery formerly devoted to collection of excise taxes to establish a prohibi- tion enforcement section, with bra ncheS in every state.
