Question of Returning the
Railroads to Owners.
UNIONS PRESENT LETTER
pampers Urges Lines Be Given
Fair Test Under Govern
ment Peacetime Control.
Washington, Dec. 17. President
Wilson's mind is still open on ttie
question of returning the- railroads to
private control, Secretary Tumulty
odaj told a delegation representing:
anion labor and some of the farmers'
ionizations, which called at the
ttTiite House to present a letter ask
ing the president to delay the return
of the roads for two years. This was
he first authoritative expression on
Jie subject since the president an
jounced last May that he intended to
return the roads January 1.
The president, Tumulty - said, would
be glad to get the views of the dele
gation, which insisted on a fair test
of government operation In peace
time. - ' ;-
Protesting against the' enactment of
tiie Cummins railroad bill, now ; be
fore the senate, Samual Gompers,
president of the American Federation
ot Labor, and representatives of the
railroad brotherhood, .. together with,
spokesmen for some farmers ' -rgan-intions,
today urged Chairman Cum
mins ,of the senate interstate com
merce committee to withdraw . the
measure and give government opera
tion of the roads a fair and thorough
peacetime test.
The brotherhood representatives an
nounced they planned to go to the
White House during the day to urge
President "Wilson to use his influence
against the passage of the bill.
Senator Cummins said he had no
autherity to withdraw the bill but ex
pressed his intention of laying the re
ouest before the full committee
Mr. Gompers declared that organ
ized labor wanted the government , to
etain control of the, railroads for two
years, tor tne purpose 01 lesnug ui
he best method for their continued
operation." , v " "
Referring to the . anti-strike provi
sion of the bill, Mr. Gompers said:
I do not know whether we are drift..
in? and on that point I am apprehen
sive. This proposal is filled with the
rarest consequences. It will not top
strikes, but will make respected citi
zens law-breakers."
The injunction against the coal
miners. Mr. Gompers aeciarea aiu
not produce an ounce of coaL"" ,. .
'Injunctions - cannot . make . men
work." he added, "and it is well to re
member that if men cannot get justice
in otherways they will stop work and
laws which seek to prevent that can
not accomplish their purpose."
Senator Cummins replied he fully
agreed with the statement that people
could not be made to work by injunc:
George P. Hampton, managing direc
tor of the Farmers ; National , Council,
declared that the people of the coun
try and even senators and representa
tives did not understand the railroad
bill. The senate, he said, was attempt
ing to rush it through because of the
tenet that -- the. president' would turn
the roads back January , 1. A two
year time extension was what the
fanners wanted, Hampton said. .
Fred J. Chamberlain, - head of the
Washington state grange asserted that
federal operation of the railroads, had
-failed," because men in the service
were not loyal to' the government, but
to "interests that desired to get back
the roads." c;
Four-fifths of the people of the
country, he declared,, were opposed to
'rushing through the Cummins bill." ;
H. E. Willis, representing the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, and
i number of other speakers : pleaded
tor the two-year control extension and
fcfeat of the Cummins measurer.

Attorney General Outlines Ad
- ditional Plans for Combat-
ting High Cost of Living
"Washington, Dec. 17. Sugar relief
legislation passed yesterday by the
house, met a temporary set-back to
day when thev senate voted 41 to 23
against supplanting the railroad . bill
with a proposition to concur in the
house bill. It now goes to conference
with prospects of enactment befor
the holidays, dubious. .
Chicago, Dec. 17. Conservation anl
economy meetings in every community,
use of influences of mayors and pros
ecutors to stabilize Industrial condi
tions, remobilization of ; the "four
minute; men," and buying by women
who "represent 90 per cent of the
nation's Purchasing power," of noth
ing' but actual necessities until prices
come down, . are some of the steps
advocated by Attorney General Palmer
to meet the high cost of living.
; The. attorney ' general outlined- his
plan to 400 state and county officials
and representatives of women's clubs
of Illinois at a metting called by Gov
ernor Lowden last night, and today
the .steps recommended were launched
in Illinois.
Formation of fair price committees
in every community was stressed by
the attorney general and his plan for
reduction in the cost of necessities
jincludd enactment by congress of
laws extending government control of
food and food prices Tor six months
after the peace treaty is ratified. ,
"Go after the profiteers with all the
power in your command, Palmer told
the mayors, "and. hang them as high
as Haman before : you ' get through
with them. .
MOVING AROW
Despite All Predictions and
Preparations No Jinx : Ar-" ;
rived to Jam the Works. ;
Indianapolis, Dec . 17.- One ' long
weird, shrieking whistle, then others
less strident, finally practically all
sirens in the city, mingled with the
ringing of a number of bells, broke
the stillness of the early morning in
Indianapolis today.1 This was followed
by the continual jangling of telephone
bells in a local newspaper , of f ice.
. "I - guess its . notice of the end of
th world, said one woman tremulous
ly. "The whistles are calling the people
to church and I'm going,'
- It developed later that valve on a
whistle at a railroad house had become
stuck, starting " the, din, in which. ' the
other " whistles were joined, without
knowing exactly -why.
New York, Dec. 17. Astonishment
was expressed by the superstitious !
when the earth did not come to an end
today. " . j - : .
The ominous position of the planets
had. been well press agented and some
astrologers and persons versed in
witchcraft had maintained that at the
precise moment when the :. major .lea
guers of the solar system formed them
selves in a straight line with Neptune,
Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and ' Mercury on
one side of the-sun and Uranus on the
other, the earth, which had moved
four or five solar paces to the front of
the line, would behave like the one
horse shay. : . ' .
Scientists had scoffed the idea, but'
the superstitious ones recalled having
lighted three cigarettes with one match
or having walked under a ladder or
having done in recent historic times
one of the thousand and one other
things known far and wide as omens of
evil days. . '
Students in Porto Rico are reported
to have been unfavorably impressed
with their chances for continuing life
yesterday that they asked for a holiday
to prepare for the worst. Harold
Jacoby, professor ' of astronomy . at
Columbia intimated their actions might
have been due to the desire of youth
everywhere to have a holiday. He and
many other scientists maintained that
the effect upon the earth of the plan
etary alignment-would be nil.
Astronomers have predicted the end
of the world on somewhat similar oc
casions for centuries. As early as 1186
the world escaped one of their threat
ened cataclysms. :
Dlssapointment at the escape did not
prevent Stoffler from predicting a uni
versal deluge lor the year . 1524 a year,
as it turned out, which was disting
uished for drought. ;: ;V . -; r.
' Mother Shipton. witch" of Tudor
times, was credited with being equally
sure that four hundred years after her
time in 1881 to be exact the world
would come to an end. The prediction

said the committee statement, which
was prepared by Chairman Steener-

if the publishers ! carried out the vol

tion on the Anthony bill to " limit the
size of newspapers and neriodicals
using the second class mail privilege
would be postponed for the present, at

representatives - of newspapers- from'
over the country as to whether a vol-'

problem and almost without exception j
the publishers said such a plan would
meet with their approval.' 1
Testimony of President Glass,- of
the American Newspaper Publishers'
Association, and representatives ; of
paper mills and paper brokerage firms,
indicated the ' prospective shortage for
1920 - was t slightly less- than 10 per
cent and the committee decided a gen
eral reduction, of 10 per cent by every
publication would eliminate the necesr
sity of enacting legislation opposed by
practically every large daily in the
country and some : smaller . publica
tions. i:V.:'..:
The committee made no recommen
dations as to methods of ;placing the
plan into effect, leaving the details to
the publishers themselves. Objection
was made to the plan, when first pro
posed on : the ground that while the
large newspapers . would meet little
mechanical - difficulty in placing it. in
effect, the smaller dailies, semi-weeklies
and weeklies printing 8 -pages an
issue would find it impossible to cut
down the required, ten per cent. It was
agreed by, the publishers, : however,
that-this objection could be overcome
by printing only four pages every fifth
issue. ' , .

I ASSERTS CASE IS SETTLED
Concludes, However, that Amer
ican Belief in His Innocence'
Should Not Foil Law,
Mexico City, Dec.-16. (By Associated
Press) The release of William O.
Jenkins, American consular, agent . at
Puebla, under bail, has removed all
motive for misundei standing between I
the Mexican and United States gov-
ernments regarding the Jenkins issue, J
according to the reply of the Mexican j
government to the second : American
note. The Mexican reply was handed
to tirte American charge d'affaires this
evening.
The note declares the Jenkins case
has taken on an altogether different
aspect since the American agent's re.-
leese. In polite' terms, it differs with j
the American objection .to former i
legal technicalities, reaffirming that
the Jenkins case is entirely a legal
one. Moreover, , the Mexican answer
points out, the American' government's
belief in Jenkins" innocence . of the
charges against him is not enough to
warrant setting aside Mexican laws.
The text of the reply follows:
"With reference to the jrote No.
1,556, dated the 30th of last Novem
ber, which your excellency trans
mitted to the Mexican government,
acting on Instructions of the Ameri
can government relative to the case
of Jenkins, I have the honor of saying
that, under instructions of the presi-
dent of the repubiic, the Mexican gov
ernment in replying to this note will J tne co"ne or warden ana i-aiarox
confine Uself to considering some ofistreets- tynton was removed to the
the principal points of that note Pensacola . Hospital where it was
without taking up and examining its .s.tated that his Wies were not se-
arguments, trying only to establish
certain necessary " precedents in in
ternational law. and in order to make
clear before the people its official
conduct for, since Jenkins has been
released under, bail: deposited in the
Puebla court by an American citizen,
the Mexican government thinks that
any motive for misundesatandlns-
tween the two
peai-ed and that the Jenkins case has
taken a .very different form than it
previously presented.
"The United States : government
says that it refuses to enter into any
judicial discussion of the different
points - brought forward by the Jen
kins case, but , the Mexican govern
ment, on the contrary, thinks that a
discussion of legal questions in a mat
ter which is essentially ludicial ami
from any other point of view is not
1 improper or inadequate, and if this '
. ministry referred verv rrtmiclimi,,
some points related to th .Unttn,
case, it was due to the fact that the llis duties within the next few days.

procedure. - .
''The last Paragraph - of the not-2
which I am answering and whieh in
sists on demanding the immediate r"
lea.se of Jenkins, is based is founded
on-the.. belief bf the American govern
ment that the charge of false testi
mony against Jenkins Is ynfounded.
Nevertheless the belief of the Ameri
can government,: in the Innocence . of
Jenkins is not sufficient, according to
Mexican laws, to establish . such in
nocence and avoid legal consequences,
and the Mexican government cannot
accept this point of view as a sound
base to remove a foreign pitizen from
ths Jurisdiction of Mexican tribunals.
The belief of the American government
is founded on reports received about
the case, reports whlcn, aside from
the value which they might have and
which this ministry does not deem it
convenient to discuss, lack-the proofs
of impartiality which are demanded
by Mexican tribunals ana consequently
do not constitute plain proof, accord
ing to Mexican penal laws. The
Mexican government cannot admit that
American citizens can be tried and
absolved on simple reports from the
state department nor on recommenda
tions or suggestions from the United
States instead of trying them by Mexi
can cours and , according to "Mexican
law. - ' . . ''
"Jenkins having been granted free
dom by the Puebla court, which case
now is being considered by the highest
court of the republic in order to de
termine which "judge is competent to
try him, ' the Mexican government

case Shall no longer disturb the good
relations which it sincerely hopes ex
ist between the American and Mexican
