approving several contracts awarded

that they had been presented by the
former transit construction commits
sloner and therefore required the fur

Plot to Pawn Roads to
England Laid TO SHINES
Charge Seen as Development Of
Fight With Rathcnau. Which
Nav Reach Reichstag
Bv Wireless to Tho Yrioepe


BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE "Frankfurter
zeitung' charges that Hugo SHINES. or
his recent visit to London. proposed to
the British Government a plan for
transferring the German railroads to
group of private interests headed by
him and then pawning the roads in
England for 50O,000O0O gold marks.
which in turn would be used TO make
payments on Germanys war debt.
This is the latest turn in the row
between SHINES and Walther Rathenau.
whose appointment as Foreign Minis
.cr has bee vigorously attacked in the
SHINES newspapers.
The "Deutsche Allgcmeine Zeitung,'
stnnes's n,outhpiece, violently denies
the charge against him.
1t is said that the fight on Rathenau,
which threatens to cause Stinnes's po-
itlcal followers to withdraw their sup
port from Chancellor Wirth's cabinet,
is reflex from violent com petition be-
tween the industrial interests repre-
sented by SHINES and those directed
by Rathenau. Failing to agree on GER
tain big industrial schemes, these two
have declared war on each other
Fearing that Rathenau will take ad-
vantage of his government position to
promote his own economic ideas, St;n-
nes has unieashed the Peoples Party
aud its press agents on his rival. The
conflict promises to break out in the

Eleven former employees Of the Har-

road. one OF them yardmaster and
several OF the others freight conduct
ors or brakemen, were fined from 500
to $500 each yesterday by Supreme
Court Justice Frank L. Young in White
Plans after they had admitted par
ticipating in freight car plundering
which has been going on for years and
is said to have cost the railroad
S250,O00.
They were allowed to plead guilty of
receiving stolen goods. Their relatives
and friends interceded for them, say
ing that most of them had large fam
lies and would be blacklisted by the
railroad, the latter plea being one
which members Of their unions arc
said to have brought to Justice Young's
attention.
Everett I. Studlcy, one of the prison
crs. who turned states evidence. said
that many OF the men had to keep on
stealing once they had been drawn into
the plot, as otherwise they were called
"squealers" and were in danger of vio
lencp. His own life had been threat
cncd, nc said. Most of the men said
that although they were getting high
wages last September, when the indict
mcnts were found. they were not salts
fed and turned to theft to get more
money.

America must learn" said Justice
Young. "is to live within their means.
