ASKS RELEASE
OF $600,000000
TO RAILROADS
Interstate Commerce Commis
sion Says Money Is Due
Lines of Country.
VITAL TO OPERATIONS
■WASHINGTON, Pec. 9 Passage of
Inflation which would release to the
railroads of the country approximately
f6OO 000.000 due them from the United
States treasury as guaranteed during
Federal control and for the six months
thereafter, was recommended to Congress
today, by the Interstate Commerce Copi
misslon In its annual report.
“The immediate payment to some of
these carriers of the amounts or parts
of the amount* which we can now deem
to be certainly due them under the guar
antee precisions of the transportat'on
act is vital to their meeting operating ex
penses, fixed charges and other obliga
tions,” the commission declared.
Doubt as to the ability of some of the
roads to “properly serve the public as
common carriers unless the payments are
made,” also was expressed.
MAKE IT UNT.ATVFTJL
TO BCY INFLUENCE.
The commission nlso requested Con
gress to pass legislation which would
make unlawful any offer to pay any em
ploye of a railfr>a<l money “to influence
his action,”' with respect to car allot
ments.
Efforts of the commission to rid itself
of the power to grant reparation to ship
pers are to be continued The commis
sioners contend that their duty should
end with the determination that there
has been an overcharge or unjust or dis
criminating rate levied.
Use of steel cars on passenger trains
would be required by law If the' recom
mendations of the commission are car
ried out. The commission asks that in
the event of the failure of such a law
It should be made necessary at least for
roads to discontinue placing wooden
coaches before or between steel cars.
OUTLINES RAIL
ACTIVITIES.
The commission outlined the activities
of the roads during and since Federal
control, with the view of showing in
creased officiency in operation under the
transportation act. Rules governing the
consolidation of roads are in the process
of creation, the report stated.
The railroad revolving fund is being
distributed to the roads as fast as plans
for the proper and most Judicious use
of the money can be presented. The re
port shows that loans from the fund
were made to the amount of $115,767,710
up to the time of the drafting of the
report. About one-half of this amount,
or $57,790,750.’ was loaned to the roads
to meet maturing indebtedness.
Traffic carried on the roads of the
country during the first seven months
of 1920 exceeded that of the same mouths
in 1919 by 17.1 per cent, the report de- i
dared.

Butcher goes
BACK TO JAIL
Refuses to Accept Suspended
Sentence bu Court.
By declaring that he did not want
people to point him out as a man who
Was out on a suspended sentence, Alonzo
Hoyt, 1616 East New York street, a
butcher, today was In the Marion County
jail because he refused to accept a sus
pension of a six month’s sentence In Jail
at the hands of Judge Frank Lahr of
the Juvenile Court.
Hoyt was arrested recently on a charge
of neglect of his children. Bridget Van
Arsdale, SSO West New York street, was
arrested as one of the principals in the
delinquency of Hoyt's children. She was
released on withheld Judgment.
The evidence showed that Hoyt and
Bridget Van Arstlall have “kept com
pany” for three years nud the evidence
was conclusive that Mrs. Van Arsdall
thought that Hoyt was divorced from
his wife.
To convince Mrs. Van Arsdall that he
no longer lived with his family, Hoyt
moved his family from a house occupied
by them to another section of the city
and he then took Mrs. Van Arsdall i
the empty house to prove that he nc
longer lived with his family, the evidence
showed.
Hoyt's refusal to accept a suspended
sentence came at the conclusion of the
hearing and Judge Lahr accommodated
Hoyt by ordering him to jail Immediately.
“M-en who do things like you Lave done
are Just the ones who should be held up
for scorn by the public," stated Judge
Lahr.

The reiterated prediction of Mrs. Den

fied last night when the missing pastor
walked into a meeting of the church
consistory, which wus Just about to de
cide on a minister to replace him.
It was reported that Miss Trlna Han
nsnberg, 26, who disappeared almost at

“I have made a mistake, a terrible mis
take.” Dcmgel was quoted as saying by
Henry Dross, secretary of the consis
tory. lie handed in bis resignation as
p. stor of the church.
Members of the congregation were very
anxious to lenrn whether Mrs. Densel
would take back her husband. For days
following hts disappearance she refused
to believe rumors that he had gone away
with Miss Hannanberg. and consistently
assorted her firm belief that he would re
turn.
Today, when she learned that her
missing husband had returned to the
city, Mrs. Dense! shut herself up in her
room and refused to unlock the door to
anybody.
“Father Is home again and everything
is all right,” one of Densei's daughters
said. “Mother Is sick. He is in the
house.” \
“God brought my father home.” Benja
min Dense!, one of the preacher's eight
children said. “Mother is very happy and
she has forgiven father,” he added.
It was reporteii, however, that Dense!
and his wife had locked themselves up
in separate rooms.
When Densel nppeared at the church
last night one of the members slammed
the door in his face. Later he was ad
mitted. He made a statement, during
which he wept and told such n pathetic
story that several other men in the room
burst Into tears.
There was no decision last night on
Densei's resignation.

WAR AGITATION
Holds Demagogues Responsi
ble if Conflict Comes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—“lf the states
men, the publicists, the politicians, the
agitators and the demagogues of Japan
really want war with the United States
they will be the ones to bring it on and
not the Americans,” Representative Kahn
of California declared in a speech in the
House this afternoon, discussing the
{Japanese problem.
“We want peace,” Kahn continued, |
“but. the world has only recently learned !
that we are not too proud to fight; nor
aro wo afraid to light when we are forced
Into war.
“I have no fear that there will be war
between Japanese and the United States
In my lifetime. And, I am thoroughly
satisfied, if any country remains meas
urenbly prepared there will be no dif
ficulty between the two nations at any
time.
“There is going on In Japan an agi
tation and a propaganda to instill among
the masses a pronounced hatred of j
America and Americans that may result;
in grave difficulties between the two !
nations." Representative Kahn warned, j
Kahn explained and defended the Cali- j
fornia .nti-Japanese immigration and
alien law. In doing so he commended
the Japanese for their progress, and de
clared it an insult to their intelligence,
their pride and their civilization to class
them as Inferior to the white man.
“Many public officials in Japan, us
well as their political agitators and
demagogues, have tried to make the '
world believe that the opposition to the
entrance of Japanese laborers into the
United States mainland is based upon
racial prejudice.” he said. “We of the }
Pacific coast deny this is the ense. 1
contend that the objection Is purely an
economic one. Japan is doing to the
laborers of China and Korea what she
claims is racial hatred or prejudice when
done by us to Japanese laborers."
Kahn said there lias been no friendship |
for the United States In Japan since
1904, when the then President. Roose
velt, induced the Japanese statesmen to
conclude peace with Russia without de- i
manding indemnity. This angered the!
Japanese people, he said.

net, following custom. Would resign.
An effort to taka the Initiative away
from the government's critics was made
when the House agreed to debate a motion
to bring Lords Northcliffe and ttother
moro before the bar of the House to
apologize for tbeir campaign against the
appropriations, especially the supple
mentary appropriations asked.
The two lords, both publishers of
newspapers, have fought vigorously
against the bill. Northcliffe'* papers
threatened to blacklist suppporters and
to publish their pictures. Tbe campaign
wus having its effect and coalition whips
were anxiously rounding up many of
their voters who had resolved to absent
themselves duriug the Vote rather than
face the publicity.
Col. Archer Shee, who moved the de
bate on bringing the publish*: a before
the house, charged the campaign was a
gross breach of privilege.
A technicality In rules caused a post
ponement of the debate with the chance
the advantage might be taken from the
government.
