continue to bear the Onus of business
in general, so long as business de-
preston continues, Walker d. Hines.
former director of railroads. declared
today in an address before the Bond
club. But the problem will be solved,
he said, and not by government own
ership.
my opinion, before went into the
railroad administration, all the time
l was there and after l left there
he said, was that the government
ownership would be a bad thing for
everybody concerned-for the rail-
roads, for the employees, for the pub
lie and for the government"
Often, in the future, he continued,
the question of government owner
ship will be agitated, because the
railroads will be blamed, largely for
existing business conditions.
I'm times of great difficulty and
discoura cement and suffering" he
explained. ut is inevitable that the
discomfort shall be directed against
some object that it is easy to see.
Now the railroads are easy to see"
AS business develops. he declared,
railroad rates must be re-adjusted.
He said. however, that there will
be considerabl uncertainty as to the
rate situation for a good while to
come" factor which promises to be
IAN embarrassing circumstance with
respect to business"

By us. Agent

New York. Jan. 27.-Ignatius r.
Lincoln. international spy and former
member of the British parliament. was
taken into custody in lower Manhat-
ment of justice.
Ignatius T. Lincoln, officials Of the
department II justice said tonight, was
taken into custody at the request of
immi grafton service of the department
of labor for surreptitious entry into
the United States in November last.
Lincoln was arrested in Brooklyn
in 1915 at the request of the British
government but escaped. from his
guards. He was later recapturcd and
after unsuccessfully appealing to the
court, was returned to England as an

been in the United States. United
States Marshal James NJ. Power, in
Brooklyn. stated then that If Lincoln's
presence in this country was estab
l!shed he would request the govern
ment to deport him on the ground that
Lincoln served as an agent of Ger

war.
When Lincoln was arrested in
Brooklyn, Marshal Power said it hah
been revealed that he also had serv
cd as a spy for other countries.
f. Lincoln was charged by the German

he had been accused of spying in Eng
land. He was arrested in New York
City at the request of the British
government on a charge. of forgery

ject and a member Of parliament.
