BUREAUCRACY HIT
BY RAILROAD HEAD
Cole Says Trend viii Soon
Have Half of Nation Sup
porting Other Half.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-If the
present trend toward the establish
ment OF governmental bureaus keeps
up, lit won't be long before half of us
will be working to pay the salaries
OF the other half of US, who are pub
lie officials OF one kind or another
National, State or local"
Such was the statement OF White
ford r. Cole, president of the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad. which
will be published in the New Orleans
States tomorrow.
When Marshall was Vice President
of the United States he said he had
seen a bureau grow into a whole set
Of furniture. He was right.
Tends Toward Ownership.
There are two paragraphs that
any one can always write in advance
in the annual report of any Govern
ment bureau and knew that you're
a good prophet. The paragraph ask
ing for a larger appropriation and the
paragraph asking for an extension
and enlargement OF powers.
How 1t will end nobody can pre-
dict. If the situation with regard to
railroads, for example. gets complicat-
ed by more bureaus with greater
powers, 1t probably would end with
the worst thing that could happen for
America ownership Of
the railroads.
Sees Use OF Busses.
Its annoying to hear. people say
that railroad earnings are guaranteed
by the United States Government.
They are not. A guaranty implies a
guarantor. IL railroad earnings had
been guaranteed by the United States
Government since the close OF Gov
ernment operations after the World
War ended, the United States Gov
ernment would have bill Of more
than billion dollars to pay"
Mr.. Cole expressed the belief that
the probable answer to the bus com
petition problem would be for the
railroads to use motor busses for
shcrt-hauI trafic wherever possible.

LEGATION RUM MYSTERY ENDS,
BUT POLICE SHIELD SOLUTION
So Public Still Wonders Who Stole Truck,
Who Burned It. and Who Valuable
Cargo Belonged To.

District has never been determined
by the courts.
The hi-jacking angle of the case, 1t
was established by police investiga-
ton, was without foundation. For
the police later were told that this
had been merely a tale created for
the interest of the police. Police OBJ
tanned the admission later that the
truck was actually stolen while the
attendants were away getting cup
of coffee.
Reed talked just enough after get
ting "out" to assure interviewers that
he was not interested In taking any
further action in the case. He said
that connections between him and the
Big Four Transfer Co. had been
severed and he had got a better job"
and he thought his two friends were
in equally comfortable prospect. But
he did admit coming all the way from
Bryn Mswr Pa, with the consign-
ment and he did admit having a liquor
permit to move the cargo. Then he
stopped talking
So the mystery story is ended. The
mystery is cleared. SO far as the
police are concerned.
But who stole the truck? And who
burned it? Who will stand the loss?
And who owned the cargo?
Boy! Page Sherlock Holmes!

Trapped by "Peonage Ring" on TriT
to Texas.


The sentences imposed in Corpus
Christi on three officials and former
officials and two farmers OF Wfiiacy
County mark the closing chapter in a
"peonage ring" Of which two plucky
Washington youths obtained first-
hand evidence through narrowing ex-
periences, and by their testimony con-
tributed largely to the arrest and con
viction of the Ave men on January ZS.
The youths, Allen H. Nichols. 17Sl
Church street, and his buddy. y
Leonard Swanson. had visited rela-
tives in Houston. Tex, and were about
to return to Washington when they
encountered an employment agent,
who assured them Of employment In
the cotton fields that would net them
about ss a day and keep" The boys
accepted and were taken to Lyford,
in Willacy County, and put to work:
They soon found that the promise or
keen meant they would have to
nav their own subsistence bills, so
they left.
Taken to jail.
While walking into Lyford from
the cotton fields they accepted a
lift" offered by a friendly" car. and
when the automobile stopped, the
boys saw they were in front Of the
Jail. A magistrate gave them their
choice: Repay the farmer who paid
the railroad fare Of $7s5 for their
transportation to Houston; work out
the debt in the cotton fields, pay
fine of $3.50 or go to jail.
The boys decided to work 1t out,
but discovered their job was TO be on
the farm of the magistrates brother.
Friendly lawyers intervened and the
boys were freed. The attorneys ar
ranged a legitimate cotton-picking

as "vagrants" This time the law
yers got them free after a trial and
then Clarence Kendall, assistant dis
trict attorney for the southern dis
trict of Texas, interested himself In
the case of the boys.
On their stories, he ordered the ar
rests of IA men, including officers OF
the county and plantation owners,
and charged them with "peonage.

CHINESE THREATEN
ATTACK ON BRITISH
Native Forces Train Guns on
Shanghai Settlement,
But Avoid Firing.
BY tn. Associated Press.


SHANGHAI, March 17.-An incl
dent that for a time threatened trou'
BILE between Chinese troops In Shang-
hal and the British defense force oc.
Cured today when q large BODY OF
armed Shantung soldiers twice tried
to enter the international settlement
without necessary permission and
were turned back by the British
forces.
The Shantungese in attempting TO
enter the settlement were breaking
British regulation that troops must
be disarmed before being allowed TO
enter.
Firmness and tact on the part OF
the British officers averted trouble,
and II is believed the affair was mere
ly the outcome OF a nisunderstand-
ing. Extra precautions, however, were
taken tonight. while the British popu-
lation in general took the viewpoint
that the incident was justification for
the presence OF a large defense force.
Chinese Request Refused.
The incident had it's genesis in ap-
plication by the Chinese authorities
for permission to march 1900 troops
through the settlement, hut this re
quest was refused. Later a force or
200 Shantungese sought 10 march
from the northern boundary OF the
settlement TO the Chinese arsenal.
When permission was refused by the
guards, the Chinese marched on and
then returned later, 100 of them cross
ing the boundary. These were turned
back by military police.
The second attempt came when 500
men with machine guns threatened to
cross. Upon being refused permission
they loaded their rifles and machine
guns, but eventually retired peace
fully.
Hitherto the relations between the
Chinese and British troops have been
most friendly.
Cantonese Progressing.
II was reported meanwhile that the
Cantonese still are making progress
in their drive on the northern forces
and that they may occupy Marking
within the next few days. This city
is an important strategic place, since
il is one of the main centers OF COM
municatIon for Gen. Chang Tsung-
Chang. leader OF the Shantungese, be-
tween Sha anghai and his base
Commemoration today of the sec
ond anniversary Of the death Of DIR.
Sun Yat-Sen, first president ~-of the
Chinese republic, excited strong feel
| ing among the dissident faction of the
Kuomintang. or Republican Revolu-
| tionary party. In one case there was
an exchange of shots and man was
wounded.
The city of Shanghai remained
quiet, and the railway strike, which

| developed at only a slow rate. Unrest
among the Chinese workers In cotton
mills, however. grew more intense.

scene of antiforeign riots Tuesday
and Wednesday after its capture by

there was easier and that the foreign
