NORRIS REQUESTS
PROBE OF GRAFT
IN RAILWAY BILL
Vast Sums of Money Raised to
Help Put Measure Through
Congress, Charge Made.
Washington, Dec. 13. The long
drawn out debate on the Cummins
railroad bill was interrupted Satur
day by a demand, putin the form
of a resolution, that the senate inves
tigate reports that vast sums of
jnoney had been raised to help put
the measure through congress.
The investigation resolution was
introduced by Senator Norris, re
publican, Nebraska, at the conclu
sion of a five-day address by Senator
La Follette, republican, Wisconsin,
who raked the bill fore and aft and
declared it was framed in the inter
est of the roads.
Funds for Propaganda.
Senator La Foflette charged that
the Railway Executives' association
and other interests had provided
funds for propaganda purposes.
Senator Norris, who said the pub
lic had a right to know if, sinister
nfluences were trying secretly to
bring about enactment of the Cum
mins bill, raised no objection to a
proposal by Senator Pomerene,
democrat, Ohio, that the senate in
terstate commerce committee, to
which the resolution was referred,
also investigate reports that advo
cates of the Plumb plan for railroad
control had $4,000,000 to expend in
an effort to force adoption by con
gress of the tri-partite system they
proposed.
Warning Issued.
Warning was given by republican
leaders that failure to dispose of the
railroad bill next week might force
abandonment of plans for a holiday
recess starting December 20. While
strong opposition has developed to
the pending measure, leaders claimed
its ultimate passage was certain,
even if by a narrow margin.
War Cripples Responsible
. For Fatal Riot in Germany
Berlin, Dec. 13. One man was
killed and three others were wound
ed in a riot at Spandau, when a
crowd of men, crippled in the war,
who are employed at .the govern
ment plant, attempted to enter the
administration bureau and protest
against a plan to shift them else
where. When officials refused to
see the employes they stormed the
building. The officials then opened
fire on them.
Fifteen hundred crippled veterans
of the war have been on the plant's
payroll although, it is said, they
have not been rendering service, and
have been the cause of continuous
rioting.
