II THREE GIRLS !N A BOXCAR HAD
... ; NIGHT AND STEAL A RIDE
1 "j . Three girls wero discovered in the
far corner of a box car in the Ogden
H ! railroad yards last night by Detective
' Shoemaker and taken into custody,
fl u 'Two of tho girls, 16 years old each,
t ; evidently -were merely seeking cxper
pj ienco of an unusual and spectacular
( sort. Tho other, a child of about 14
years of age and daughter of a local
business man. Imagined sho had been
mistreated at homo and decided to
, flee. All live In the moro prosperous
sections of the city,
j . "Hey, there, pllo out. you bums,"
I said the detective.
When ho got no response, ho con
eluded ho would go in and throw them
.out. So he climbed Into the car filled
f with ore and mado for tho corner.
"Oh, please lot us alone." said a
scared, femalo voice as tho officer
w threw his flashlight upon the trin-
ity huddled in a single mass of forms.
u "Wo are running away from home"
fm r "Running away from homo, are you?"
jj said Shoemaker. "Well, here's where
you'll run back home. It's nearly mid -I
night and tho doors will be locked if
you don't hurry. Nice time a-nighl
to be riding box cars. Come, get out
Into the moonlight. I want to look
MMM j you over."
I The runaways obeyed. On the out-
side, thoy gave their names and the
Mm two older ones slated they were only
, seeking excitement and though it
1' would be jolly to travel hobo -fashion
R 10 Salt Lake City. They were not
afraid, they said, and had been very
tM , careful. They were allowed to go
home.
HU The youngest of the trio displayed
1 more spirit. She declared she was
IJ ' not seeking excitement, but was run
L ' ning .away from homo because- of a
1 misunderstanding and mistreatment,
i i Her case required more dexterous
i ' handling and Officer Shoemaker took
i her to the police station Sho was
MMM turned over to Police Chief Browning,
who notified tho father, and a session
followed in the police chiefs prlvato
offices. , i
It roqulrod a long session and di
plomacy to effect a peace botween
father and daughter. Each was deter
mined to place tho blame upon the
other. The application of good healthy
logic and a volume of forceful, direct
and candid advice from Police Chief
Browning, however, brought about a
reconciliation.
"I will go home and I will obey,
said tho girl, as she unclasped horsolf
from her father's embrace for when
thoy became reconciled thoy became
enthusiastically forgiving. "But I am
misunderstood. I may bo giddy, but
I am not bad."
Police Chief Browning declined to
make public the names of tho three
fugitives. None of them is booked
at the polico station. It was Just one
of those midnight episodes which tho
polico handle and then forgot, so far
as Identity Is concerned.

RAILROAD BILLS
ARE INT10DUCED
Both Houses to Consider
Measure Covering Operation
of Lines and Compensation.
GUARANTEES TO ROADS
No Extra Federal Taxes to Be
Assessed in Excess of 1917
Levy to Be Charged.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. Director
General McAdoo and heads of the four
railroad brotherhoods agreed today on
a plan for threshing out all wage and
labor disputes while government op.
eratlon prevails through an Investigat
ing board which will report recommen
dations to the director-general.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. President
Wilson laid before congress today his
recommendation for legislation to car
ry out government operation of rail
roads and administration bills to that
purpose vrere introduced immediately
in both houses.
Whllo the president, In his address,
laid stress on t"he importance of prop
erly preserving the properties for their
return, tho administration bill, specif
ically provides that government con
trol shall obtain throughout tho war
and "until c6ngress shall thereafter
order otherwise."
Many government officials and rail
road men made no concealment of
their belief that the railways never
would return to prlvato hands.
Tho president's program besido call
ing for a $500,000,000 appropriation
to be used as "revolving" fund with
railroad income for operation and
maintenance, calls for compensation
to tho roads at the rate of their not
operating lncomo for tho last three
fiscal years. And deficiencies would
bo paid out of the $500,000,000 fund
and meanwhile no railroad may in
crease its dividends, roads that skip
ped dividends may resume with rates
fixed by the president.
One section of the proposed law,
considered very significant lays a
heavy penalty on any ono who impedes
"possession, uao, operation or con
trol" of the roads. It is regarded as
precluding a strike.
All new railroad financing would
be under tho approval of the president
and the government would be author
ized to support railroad credit by buy
ing railway securities and hold them
for better markets.
Advances of money to railroads or
other expenses for other betterments
would be reimbursable to the govern
ment In the house the bill was Introduced
by Chairman Sims of tho interstate
commorco committee which will meet
Monday to consider It.
In tho senate it was introduced by
Senator Smith of South Carolina, and
will be considered by the senate com
mittee also on Monday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The admin
istration bill for government opera
tion of railroads proposes that tho
gnyemmont shall pay compensate in
at an annual rate as near as possible
to the nt.t operating incon'e for the
three years ended June 30, 1917.
Tho bill is entitled " a bill to pro
vide for operation of transportation
systems whilo under federal control,
for the just compensation of their
owners and for other purposes."
Section 1 provides that tho president
Is authorized to agree and guarantee
to the roads that during the federal
control they shall receive as just com
pensation an lncomo at an annual rate
equivalent as nearly as may be to
the roacs' averape net railway oper
ating Income for the three years end
ing Juno 30, 3337. This, the bill of
ficially calls, tho standard return.
The section provides that the net rail
way operating income is to bo com
puted from the returns to the inter
state commerce comissslon, excluding
debits and credits, derived from the
accounts which are called, In tho
monthly interstate commerco returns,
'leased, road rents and miscellaneous
rents."
No Extra Federal Taxes. -
No federal taxes in excess of taxes
assessed during the year ending June
30, 1917, are to be charged against
tho revenou in computing the stand
ard return. Any net railway operat
ing Income in excess of the standard
return 'Ib to be the property of the
United States.. The amount of the
standard return accruing during tho
threo-year period is to bo determined
by the interestate commerce commis
sion, whose certificate as to tho
amount Is to be taken as final and con
clusive for the purpose of tho agree
ment and guaranty. During the fed
eral control, adequate depreciation
and maintenance of the properties of
the roads would bo included as a part
of the operating expenses or provid
ed through a rcsorvo fund, in accord
ance with principles and rules which
the president will determine.
President Has Power.
Section 2 provides that if no such
agreement 1b made with a road tho
president may, nevertheless, pay, or
cause to be paid, to any railroad while
under federal control, not exceeding
30 per cent of the standard return.
Under this section the legal rights of
the railroad for prosecution of its
claim for the balance before tho court
of claims is provided for and any
amount found due abovo tho amount
that had been paid will bear interest
at 6 per cent a year and any excess
amount paid by the government will
bo rccovorablo by the government
with 6 per cent interest.
Claims May Be Adjudicated
Section 3 provides that any claim
for just compensation, which is not
adjusted under tho tormB provided
In section 1, will bo submitted to a
board of three auditors appointed by
tho interstate commerco commission
whoso members and official force will
bo eligible for that sorvlce without any
additional compensation. These aud
itors will glvo a full hearing to the
road and to the government and will
report to tho president tho amount
due tho road as Just compensation. A
sum not exceeding tho amount so re
ported may bo agreed upon by the
president of tho road. Falling this
agreement, either tho fcdoral govern
ment, or tho road, may file a petition
in tho court of claims for final as
certainment of tho amount of just
compensation, and in tho court of
claims proceedings tho report of tho
auditors will bo considered prima
facie evidence of the facts stated. The
Just compensation of any federal-controlled
road not making returns to the
interstate commerce commission will
bo dotormlned in accordance with
the3o provisions.
Section four provides that the re
turns of any carrier will be increased
by an amount reckoned at a rate per
cent to bo fixed by tho president upon
the cost of any additions and Improve
ments made while under federal con
trol by the carrier from its own citp
i.tal or surplus and by an amount
equal to the rate accruing to tho gov
ernment upon any advances made to
the road for the cost of tho additions
and Improvements.
Section five prohibits any carrier,
whilo under federal control, without
the president's prior approval, from
declaring or paying any dividends in
excess of its regular rate during tho
three years ending Juno 30, 1917. This
section stipulatos, however, that the
railroads that have paid no regular
dividends, or no dividends during that
period may, with the president's prior
approval pay dividends at whatever
rate the president may determine.
Section six provides $500,000,000
which, together with any funds avail
able from any excess earnings of the
railroads, may bo used by the presi
dent as a "revolving fund" to pay ex
penses df tho federal control, on a
deficit of any railroad below the stand
ard return and to provide terminals,
Improvements, engines, rolling stock
and other necessary equipment, to
bo used and accounted for as the
president may direct and to be dis
posed of as congress may hereafter
provide. The president may also or
der any road to mako any additions
and improvements. Ho may from this
revolving fund advance to tho roal all,
or any part of tho expense of the addl
Hons and Improvements so ordered
and constructed by the road, or by
the government These advances are
to bo charged against the road and
to bear interest at such" a rate and be
payablo on Bitch terms as the presi
dent may determine so that tho
United States may bo fully reimbursed
for any sums advanced.
toss Claims to Be Determined.
Any loss claim to accrue to any
road by reason of any of these addi
tions or Improvements may bo deter
mined by an agrement botween the
president and tho road. Failing this
agreement, the amount of the loss
will be ascertained under the termo
provided in section three. From the
revolving fund tho president may ex
pond whatever amount he may deem
necessary or desirable for purchase,
construction or utilization and op
eration of boats, barges, tugs and
other transportation facilities on tho
inland and coastwise waterways and
may In the acquisition, operation and
uso of those facilities create or em

House of Representatives provides
that persons with taxablo incomes of
$3500 and more must subscribe to the
war loan three times the total amount
which thoy pay in land tax and income
tax. There are also provisions for
penalizing peraonsi who had not sub
scribed to the previous war loan.

Newly Appointed Bolsheviki
Ambassador Concludes to
Await His Instructions.
HAS ENGLISH WIFE
I
Will Circulate Truth About
Russia People Not Pro
German. LONDON, Jan. 4. Maxim LItvinoff,
who has been appointed Bolshovlki
ambassador to Groat Britain and who
said yostorday that he probably would
return to Potrograd, haB decided to re
main in London pending tho receipt
of his instructions. His photograph is
printed prominently in the London
newspapers. It shows the intelligent
face of a highly educated and born
man. He Is said to be attached to
English institutions and England,
-where ho has lived for a decado.
M. Lltvlnoff's wife is an English
woman and ho is said to be an old
friend of Lonino. He is declared to
bo a whole-hearted supporter of tho
Bolsheviki, with whom he apparently
is in closo touch. The Daily Mail
quotes him as saying that until a
courier brings his formal appointment
ho cannot say whether ho will accept
the ambassadorship, but in a long in
terview in tho Daily Chronicle he
speaks as If he Is resolved to take it
Will Circulate Truth.
"My task as ambassador will bo to
circulate tho truth about Russia and
dissipate misunderstandings, false
hoods, character and intentions of tho
Soldiers' and Workmen's government.
It Is grossly mischievous to represent
tho Bolsheviki as pro-Gorman, anti
ally or as mere pacifists. Thoy realizo
as clearly as anyone that kaisorism
and junkerdom are the greatest ob
stacles to self-omancipatlon of the in
ternational proletariat but have dis
covered that Prussia Is not tho only
soil for the congenial growth of nox
ious plants. They oppose roplacing
Prussian militarism by Russian,
French or English militarism."
Downfall of Kaiserism.
M. LItvinoff declared his emphatic
bollof that by the present negotiations
and propaganda among tho German
soldiers in tho eaBt Trotzky and
Lenine are contributing to tho down
fall of kaiBerism more effectually than
tho allies fighting in tho west Ho
concludes:
"I am sanguine enough to imagine
that tho Russian and German armies
on the eostorn front some day will
march together against the common
foo of tho world's proletariat in Ger
many itself and perhaps in other
countries, too."
HEW DEPARTMENT
OF MUNITIONS
Bill Introduced in Congress to
Establish Bureau Under
New Cabinet Head.
SENATE BACKS MEASURE
New Secretary Will Control
Arms, Ammunition and All
Munitions of War.
WASHINGTON, Jon. 4. A depart
ment of munitions, under a now cabi
net head known as tho secretary of
munitions, is proposed in a bill intro
duced today by Senator Chamberlain
of the senato military committoo aB a
result of its investigation of war
operations.
The new department would operate
during tho war and one year there
after. Tho bill has the backing of the
senate committee and will be strongly
pressed. Tho now secretary of muni
tions would have power undor the
president's direction to control arms,
ammunition, food, clothing, equipment,
tentage, transportation and any other
materials tho president 3hall desig
nate as munitions of war.
Government bureaus, agencies and
factories necessary to a munitions' ad
ministration would be transferred to
tho new department which contem
plates naval as well as army mate
rials. t
"The bill is expected to expedite the
.supply of munitions of war," said Sen
ator Chamberlain. "One groat trouble
with tho war Bupplloa, as disclosed by
the investigation, has been a lack of
co-ordination and seeming impossi
bility of getting rid of circuitous
methods of doing business. Until there
can bo co-ordination and methods
more direct the United States will bo
groping in the dark for many months
before we can placo ourselves in
proper fighting trim.
"This measure places all Jurisdic
tion over munitions of war which Is
defined at length In tho bill and cov
ering everything in. ono person known
as the secretary of munitions subject
to tho direction, of course, of the
prosident It co-ordinaCos all tho bu
reaus, cuts red tapo, does away with
usoless decisions which had tended
,only to hamper direct action and gots
to tho heart of the whole situation.
"I bollove If congress can see Its
way to tho onactmen of this measure
and tho proper man is placod at tho
hoad of the department of munitions,
America will soon be occupying its
proper placo on tho battlo front It
will be noted that the measuro only Is
In force during the continuance of the
war which brings it into oxistence."

Theatres
AT THE ORPHEUM.
A bill of mixed merit Is presented
this week by Pantages at the Orphcum
theater. Some of the acts aro very
good and receive enthusiastic applause
from tho audience but others fall
somewhat short of what was expected.
The headliner for instance, Madame
Makaronko and her troupe of oriental
dancers in "The Dream of the Orient;'
has tho parts of a really high class
act but is cheapened by the Madarao
horsolf in ordinary by-play with tho
audlenco and common stuff of that
sort. Somo of the ladles are dancers
of ability but it looked rather odd to
Intersperse Cossack dancing with
harem dancing, specially without a
change or notice. An oriental atmos
phero, which is readily created by tho
first scone as tho curtain raises on an
ebalorately appointed harem, Is some
what shattered as ladles clad in harem
skirts go through the evolutions of a
whirling Cossack. The members of
thlB cast sing well, however, and espe
cially Madamo Makarenko herself,
who has a soprana voice of great
power. If this act were kept within
Its proper realm of oriental atmosphere
it would bo an act of distinction, be
cause the costuming and scenic effects
aro good.
The curtain-raiser Is an athletic act
of refinement. Tho Youngsters,
poseurs and athletes, appear first pos
ing in representation of marble statu
ary and then appear before the curtain
with Beveral novel feats of strength
and grace. The man Is marvelously

doveloped and the lady Is graceful and 'j
capable. Mr.
"Just a Llttlo Bit Off the Top" i5 M
the title of Goldberg and Wayne's
sketch. Goldberg plays tho piano r it
and thoy both sing and tell jokes! (r
Theso boys have a nico HUlc act and i i
get a good hand of applause. Thoy t
tell somo clever stories and sing some J H
good songs. Goldberg Introduces two I ?
now numbers, among which is "Long 1
Boy," a comic war song which will be j
heard everywhere In Ogden in a few r
weeks. f.
"The Musical DcLuxo Four," a quar- 1 P
tette of musicians, embracing a violin- I s
1st, harplBt, flutist and vocalist is an-
other act of entertaining quality. The S
young lady who sings has a pleaslnp I
soprano voice and also shows herself f I
to be a dancer of considerable skill.
Solo numbers and ensembles are ren-
dered very acceptably. A x,
Claudia Coleman has an act of a h p
distinctly individual typo. Mis3 Cole-
man uses a few hats and her artistry
as an actress and observer of human
types and moods, and entertains the :j i
audience In skilled manner for scv- '. j
oral minutes. She gets more charac- : 5

most millinery people know exists in )
It, "taklng-off" successively a bored .
matront, feminist, country girl, tired , t
woman of tho ordinary sort and sev- f,
oral other good characterizations. ,
Fannie Fraunholz anchFrances Brant
in "All Wrong" present a favorite
vaudeville act which receives lots of j-
attention. It is the story of a wife '.
who has tired of her husband's fish- 1
like character and has a dream In
which sho sees him as a desperate h I
burglar about to wring her neck and M
leave her for another woman. Even j
this hardly cures her. It is a surprls- J
ing act. j
There are two Yiddish comedians on J
the bill, Hoey and Lee, who present f
the sketch called "Tho Nominee."
They have some pretty good jokes and
good makoups, but they can't resist I
answering applause with a few little 1
songs which would be bettor unsung. I
Thoy seemed to be the kind that
tickled the audience, however, judging I
from the applause.
