The joint congressional committee In vestigating transportation problems resumed Us sessions today with Al fred f. Thorn, ciimsel for Hie rail road executives advisory committee again u witness, lie had completed his direct testimony and was ready to be cross-examined. This was the fourth day of Mr. Thorn's appearance before the committee Sir. Thorn was questioned at length by Chairman Xewlnnds, with particu lar reference to federal Incorporation. Railroad managers of the country, he said, are virtually agreed, although there is some dissent, that it is the best solution tor many of their prob lems. - '"I have no doubt." he said, "that congress can pass a law forbidding a railroad company to engage In Inter state commerce unless It is licensed or chartered by the federal govern ment." Police power of the state. Including the question of grade crossing, sepa rate cars for different rates and other questions should he left as fur as pos sible undisturbed. Taxation of physical properties, he said, should be left to the states. Gov ernment ownership "would not he impeded" it the plan were adopted, he believed. "Government ownership," ho said, is easy If you have got the money to acquire the property." Ho added i:ome men were getting anxious for government ownership. Limitation of G per cent on rail road dividends with a 3 per cent an nual surplus rate, unless a minimum dividend was also fixed nnd in effect guaranteed ho opposed on ' the ground that it would frighten away the investing public, which put up the money to build the 2o0,000 miles of railroad that now crosses tho Unit ed States. CAPTURE OF BUCHAREST AIM (Continued From Page One.) Fighting on the Macedonian front has been less general on account of had weather, but continued progress for the-Italians,, who i nro driving northward west of Monastir, is re ported by Paris. Sofia declares Ihe Italians were repulsed in this region. A Jiulgarian eonntei'-iitlnek north east, of Monastir in Ihe Cerna river region was repulsed, according to the French war. office. Quiet Along SoniimO Seemingly Ibere is no disposition on tile part of either the liritish or French to attack in force in Ihe Somme region just at present. Kx Ireinely bad weather has been re ported us prevailing on Ibis front, and such attacks as llerlin has re corded apparently have been local in character. London today in its re port on operations along the Franeo ilclgiau front, ignores the Soinmc and the Auere region, mentioning only artillery activity in the neighborhood of I. a ilassce to the north of Amis. Berlin today in its report on Ihe liiimiininu campaign announces the capture of Alexandria, forty-seven miles southwest of Hiicharest. It also reports a further advance of the Teutonic forces which crossed the llannbe aiol declares the Knmaninu resistance In the advance is break ing.
