EXPLAINS u. S. CONTROL

WASHINGTON, Feb. Railroads
were in better physical condition at
the end of the period of federal con-
troll than they had been when taken
over during the war, William G. Nc
Adoo, former secretary of the treas
ury, and war time director general of
railroads, today told the senate inter
state commerce committee in giving
an accounting of his guardianship of
the properties during 1918. The COM
mittee, which is inquiring into recent
railroad conditions, was unable to
hear all of McAdoo's testimony today,
and he will continue tomorrow.
McAdoo contended railroad labor
had been loyal, remaining at its post
when more lucrative employment was
offered in other industries and that
wage increases made while he was di-
rector general were not excessive but
subsequently we're further increased
Given New Equipment
The railroads, when turned back to
their owners. he declared, with zoos
more locomotives, 26,S15 more freight
cars, and 1,051 more passenger cars
than they had possessed at the begin
ming of federal control. were in con-
dition to meet the heaviest traffic de-
mands in their history"
"The credit of the railroads was de-
stroyed before the war;" he said,
quoting statements by railroad execu-
tives. The executives. he added. did
not produce under federal control the
results as to revenue and operation
they had brought about prior to that
time.
The railroads were permitted to con-
tinue for four months after federal
control was established with little in-
reference in the way of management,
he said, but the regional re-organiZa-
ton, he contended, was necessary in
May. 1918, when he became convinc-
ed that the managements of the rail-
roads by the railroad corporations
could not produce desired results"
Millions Were Saved
Unification of the railroads, he con-
t:nued, saved S1S,000,000 in operating
expenses in 1918. Throughout federal
control, experienced railroad execu-
tives were in charge of the properties
under his direction, he said denying
"the deliberate attempts made to Gre
ate the impression that | made immed-
late drastic changes In the manage
ments OF the railroads and disregard
ing the experience and ability of the
railroad men of the country, attempt
ed to run the railroads upon new and
uEtried theories of my own"
Replying to a question, McAdoo de-
clared he did not advocate pooling Of
business by the railroads under pri-
vate control, but favored assisting the
roads in competing for traffic.

Ready To Give Up Lease
When Japan's intention to with
draw from Shantung had been def
nitely stated, the British announced
formally for the first time that their
government was ready to hand back
to China the lease hold OF Wei Hal

SAN FRANCISCO, ~ep. 1.-The
case Of Roscoe c. (Fatty) Arbuckle,

today, after a tria; covering three
weeks. 1t was his second trial on the
charge, the first having resulted in a
jury disagreement.
Mrs. Estelle Baumeister, one of the
two alternate jurors who were ex-

in her opinion Arbuckle is not guilty.

declined to express an opinion, al
though he congratulated the defense
on its showing.

into the proceedings by announcing 1t

argument by the prosecution as, un-

can only be a rebuttal of the final de-

In Arbuckle's first trial, the defense
made an offer to submit the case
