Gougler homo and at the end of that
lime her mother fot urgent word to
Fome to see her. Gougler, however,
decided to take the child home and.
It was charged, he arranged to meet
her a few days later in this city.
The mother followed the child to
Harrlsburg, saw Gougler meet her
•daughter and then notified a police
jnan. With the policeman she saw
•Gougler and the girl hurry across
Market street from the Union station
■entrance enter the hotel in question
and hurry upstairs to the olfice.
The Arrest
Gougler, according to the witneses,
laid a dollar on the counter for a
room and was standing with pen
poised over the register when the
policeman tapped him on the shoul
der. And when the officer told htm he
was under arrest he said he "wanted
his money bank."
Later in the police station he de
clared that he had no sinister purpose
in taking the child into the hotel—-
he said he only wanted give her
"fatherly advice."
In relating her story Josephine de
clared that she went to the hotel in
obedience to Gougler's request, as he
i, e " wan t e( i tell her some
thing-
bugler in his own defense inti
mated that Josephine's conduct was
not what it should be and he wished
to "talk to her like a father," as he
thought well of her.
"Couldn't, you have given her the
"fatherly advice' on the street? Was
It necessary to take her to the hotel to
give her this 'fatherly advice'? snapped
Mr. St roup.
"Well, 1 thought it was too sunny,"
explained the prisoner.
Furthermore, he explained that he
only intended renting the room for
the little girl, as she had no place
to go.
Wants 'His Money Back
"That was your only reason for tak
ing her to the hotel, was it—that, and
to give her 'fatherly advice'?V de
manded Mr. Stroup. "You only want
ed to get. a room for her?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then why did you ark the clerk to
ive you your money back?"
It was then that Additional Law
Judge McCarrell had to gently suggest
that the witness answer.
The case was given to the jury late
this afternoon.

gators indicate, officials said, the wide
spread existence of combinations of
brokers and dealers in foodstuffs and
coal to force prices upward. Most of
these alleged combinations were said
to be local in character. All data
concerning thern will probably be sub
mitted to grand juries.
Activities of alleged food and coal
speculators are said to have extended
as far south as the Mexican border
and to have included virtually every
section of the country.
The plan of procedure approved by
the Attorney General probably will be
placed late to-day before President
Wilson.

Accuses Railroads of
Trying to Ruin Their
Own Credit by Pessimism
Washington, Dec. 9. Railroads
were accused of trying to ruin their
own credit and laying the foundation
for federal ownership, by Max Thelen,
president of the Association of Rail
way Commissioners in resuming his
testimony to-day before the congres
sional railroad investigating commit
tee.
"The railroads are In a hysteria of
pessimism," he said. "With earnings
beyond all previous records and con.
stantly growing larger, the railroads
seem to be engaged in the absurd
task of trying to ruin their own credit.
If they were really acting in the pflb
lic interest, as t+iey claim to be, they
would stop complaining about public
regulation and would devote them
selves to supplying the cars, equip
ment, terminal facilities and exten
sions which the public urgently re
quires. Federal incorporations of the
railroads as proposed by the carriers
has for its avowed object the taking
from the people of the States their!
power to regulate the purely fjtate
rates, service, equipment, and facili
ties of practically every railroad In I
the"United States. The railroads' plan
brazenly provides by direct compul
sion to be exerted by the Federal gov
ernment new securities equivalent to
j all the outstanding securities, includ
| ing all the excessive fixed indebted
. j ness and all the watered stock, to
jbe issued. The railroads apparently
j are laying the foundation for the ultl
i mato purchase of their property by
| the Federal government.
1 "The talk of the railroads about
j forty-nine masters is simply language
Ito tickle the ears. No railroad in the
| United States runs through more than
I one-third of forty-eight States. Al
though Sll other corporations which
iJ do business in different States are
J subject to regulation by each such
i 1 State, nobody except the railroads is
complaining."
