RAILROADS TO DEMAND STRONG RELIEF ACTION Executives to Ask Legislation Putting Curb on All Competition. By United press NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—With American railroads facing what they term the most critical situation they have experienced since the transportation act of 1920, the Association of Railway Executives, representing every class railroad in- the United States, plan to demand powerful relief legislation in congress. A curb on the competition of motor vehicles, coastal steamship lines and oil and gas pipe lines will be asked of congress in the legislation, according to reports. An outstanding provision is a proposal to compel the oil and gas industry to stop use .of S4OO 000.000 oil pipe lines. All forms of interstate transportation would be placed under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission, in the plan to be proposed by the rail carriers. Steamships Are Proposed This would include the subjection of coastal ship lines chartering to Issuance by the commission of cer- ! tiflcates of convenience and neces- i toit.y. It was stated that the railroads also will ask perimission to operate coastwise steamships and transports on the Great Lakes, which now is forbidden by the Panama Canal act. Overland transportation of freight by motor trucks, as well as passen-! cer service, is to be objected to in the proposal, tn the form of a re-1 quest for a higher and more strict j rate of license for busses and' trucking lines. Object to Free Operation Charles C. Paulding, vice-presi- i dent of New York Central, con- ! firmed reports of the plans, and! said: / "Competition by new and unregulated methods of transportation has brought about the present crisis in railroading." He stated that the railroads do not. oppose these new forms of transportation, but do obr ject. to their operation free from the v strict regulations i. iposed on rail i carrier.*. The first automobile which ac-! tually ran, and incidentally was j steam propelled, was built in j Prance between 1760 and 1770 by j Captain Nicholas Joseph Cugnot. ]

FULL STORY OF VICE FRAMEUPS WILL BE TOLD Two New York Lawyers Make Confessions in Graft Quiz. By United Press NEW YORK. Nov. 28—A full confession of widespread graft and extortion of a sensational nature in | the conduct of vice cases in the women s court has been made by I twp lawyers. It was learned today. : as the appellate division inquiry ’ into minor court conditions reI sumed private hearings. The lawyers, whose names were withheld, are among those mentioned in ti?e open hearing earlier this week by John C. Weston, process server who acted as a deputy assistant district attorney, and ad--1 mitted taking bribes from twenty- ! one lawyers over a period of years. They will repeat their stories when public sessions are resumed, probably next Tuesday, and are then expected to name prominent persons included in the ‘‘vicious cir,. cle” of stool pigeons, arresting officers, bondsmen, lawyers, district attorneys’ representatives and another who received and split the e ?- tortion money. The implication is that the unnamed party 4 to the system was the magistrate sitting in the case. Should this be borne out, it would mean that every person involved, from the time a woman was arrested until she either was discharged or convicted, profited financially from any money she might be induced to pay. The revelations were said to be more startling than those disclosed at the public hearings when “Chile” M. Acuna, a vice squad stool pigeon, told of “framing” immorality charges against women, Innocent and guilty alilfe, and implicated a number of members of the police force.

Lyle, leader of the campaign to rid the city of gangsters. met Saltts in a police station, allowed the gangster to sign his own bond and told him that he hoped the Saltis boy soon would recover. “Even a hard-boiled jurist must have a heart in a case like this,” Lyle said.
