Plumb. special attorney for the rail-
road labor brotherhood tonight told
the public ownership conference of

America
The roads have incurred financial
obligations of twenty billions of dol
lars" said Mr.. Plumb. They have
impoverished the public and after
being given $4,000. 700 of public funds.
say they must have more. That
shows them financially bankrupt.
The railroads entertain decisions
OF being possessed of great wealth.
They deny the existence Of the law
OF conservation of energy and affirm
they can take more out than they
have put in. They believe they can
repeal the laws of nature and thus
are mental bankrupts.
They are moral bankrupts be-
cause are trustees who disregard
their trust. This was shown when
they pursuaded Congress to pass the
Esch- Cummins act and then used il
as means of private gain at the ex-
pense Of those for whom they exer-
else trust"

STATE NEAR END
IN LANDRU TRIAL

Versailles, Nov. 19.-(By A. P.)-
The State virtually completed its
case against Henri Jandru, so-called
"Bluebeard Of Gambais," with the
hearing of evidence today concerning
the last of his alleged victims, Nine.
Marchandier.
On Monday the prosecution will en-
ter upon general evidence of experts
and chemists with respect to bones
found on the property of Landru at
Gambais. The prosecution contends
the bones are those of the human
frame, while the defense will bring
counter experts to swear they are
the bones of animals.
When the foreman of the jury arose
the days proceedings to ask several
questions, the chief counsel for the
defense, NJ. Moro Giafferi, objected to
the trend of the examination. He
said the juror showed signs of par
TALLY and had indicated his opinion
already was formed. The counsel re-
Quested that the court declare the
juror incompetent and grant a new
trial.
The bones of two dogs. which the
prosecutor said had been presented
to Mile Marchandier by b Mrs. Moore,
an American resident of Paris. were
produced in court.
The state charged that these dogs
were killed by Landru at Cambais at
the time of his alleged murder OF
their mistress.
