RAIL BILL MESSAGE
DRAF FTED BY ROPER
Document to Accompany Co.
0rdinator Measure to Con-
gress Is Completed.

Secretary Of Commerce Roper and
his Committee on Rail Legislation to-
day expected to deliver to President
Roosevelt the draft of a message to
Congress on the administrator plan
for assisting the railroads through the
rail co-ordinator bill.
The committee completed drafting
the bill fortnight ago and submitted
1t to the White House. Mr.. Roosevelt
on Wednesday sent 1t back to Roper
with request that his committee draw
up message, which, administration
leaders said. will probably be sent to
Congress Monday.
The basis Of the bill, 1t was learned
authoritatively, calls for the appoint
ment OF a Federal rail co-ordinator to
work with railroads to effect economies
and eliminate duplicating services.
The measure also provides for three
regional co-ordinators to apply the
scheme more locally. These regional
boards will represent the Eastern,
Southern and western sections of the
country with a maximum of five mem
bers on each group.
With certain exceptions, the rail CO.
ordlnator would have power to waive
the application of antitrust laws, or
any other laws, State or Federal. Ger
tain provisions of the Interstate Com
merce Commission act would be waived,
The measure defines the powers of
the rail co-ordinator not only to enforce
economies. it was learned. but also to
prevent rate reductions which tend to
undermine the rate structure.
His Labor Powers Limited. ..
His powers, however, will be limited
in dealing with labor, according to ad-
ministration sources.
Railroads, shippers and other inter-
ested parties, 1t was stated, will have
right to appeal to the Interstate
Commerce Commission from the dect-
sions Of the co-ordinator.
The headquarters of the co-ordinator
are to be located In Washington. His
staff of technical experts and clerical
workers, it is understood, will not be
subject to civil service status. The
salary Of the co-ordinator will be the
same as that now drawn by a member
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion-$8,500 year. as against $4,000
originally. Reduction was effected by
statutory cut of $4,000, and the ap-
plication of the Is per cent Govern
ment pay slash.
According to a copy Of the bill, which
it was learned has met with few revi-
sions since it was drafted, the cost of
the co-ordinator administration is to
be borne by the railroads on 81 per-
mile-of-road assessment. The cost Is
expected to be comparatively low.
Full Hearings on Bill.
Full hearings upon the measure are
expected when the bill reaches the
Capitol. Senator Dill, Democrat, of

made today at the opening of the Sen

cial. If this point had been considered
by those responsible for delaying prose-
cution of Hartman for false entries tr

Frankly Acknowledged.
Delay in prosecuting Hartman was
frankly acknowledged by Parrish, head
Of the departments criminal division
and william H. Ramsey, department
attorney in charge Of the case, but both
defended 1t on the grounds that an effort
was being made to save the bank.
At the outset Of the investigation
Costigan told the judiciary Subcom-
mittee making the inquiry that 1.-THE
whole episode appears to be tainted
with oficial dilatoriness, as a conse-
quence of which substantial losses
have been suffered by depositors.
Presumably" Costigan added, "the
creditors of that bank would have pro-
tected themselves If official diligence
had promptly and properly advised
them of fraudulent bank practices Of
ficially known and long concealed be-
fore action was taken.
Full Investigation Asked.
"The precedent thus set, apparently
in part by the Department of Justice
under q former administration, Is too
grave in its legal and moral implica-

public reasons not yet disclosed may
be invoked to shield from censure

WASHINGTON, April B. The Daily Star says it has learned that the appointment of Major A. V. Dalrymple as Director of Prohi- bition, foreshadows a drastic shake up in the Federal Dry Forces which will result in the abolition of the Prohibition Bureau, as such.
 The Star says the Bureau will fade from the picture and be replaced entirely by new Bureau for control rather than prohibi- tion of the liquor traffic"
 Retiring Director Woodcock, now a member of the Attorney Generals staff, will assist in the proposed reorganization which calls for the return of the plan originally adopt ed by the Wilson administration for centralizing control of liquor, mar cotics and industrial alcohol under one head.
 The Star further said Dalrymple is expected to declare war at once on racketeers and other "big boys" in the illicit liquor trade with a view of especially protecting the legitimate beer manufacturers un- der the new beer law.
