RAILWAYS OF NATION RETURNED TO OWNERS AVIATOR FALLS OVER FIVE MILES AND LANDS SAFELY Uncle Sam Has Turned Linea Back to Private Control. Major Schroeder Broke World*! Rec ord When He Climbed 36.020 Feet. Washington, Feb. 29.—American rail transportation systems, operated as one great public utility since De cember 28, 1917, are again divided among their 230 respective corpora te owners. The government^ has re leased control. Director General Hines, as the agent of the president, hands over the prop erties and equipment, valued at ap proximately $20,000,000,000 to their •old direction, freeexceptfor the juris diction retained bjf the government in the new railroad reorganiiation bill. While all arrangements for formal restoration of the rails to their own ers were completed yesterday by Mr. Hines, instructions went out today to operating representatives of the rail road administration, informing them that they would “report to the proper Dayton, Ohio, Feb. 27.-»r-An airplane carrying Major R. W. Schroeder,; chief test pilot at McCook Field today fell over five miles after reaching an alti tude of 36,020 feet, said to be 5,020 feet higher than the world’s record. Tonight the major is in a hospital, suffering from shocks and temporary blindness. Instruments on the ma chine indicate that it fell .more than five miles in two minutes. While still 2,000 feet above the ground the airplane righted itself and glided to a graceful landing. When the plane settled attendants who rushed to ward it found Major Schroeder sitting erect in the machine, apparently life- lass. For a brief time residents of Dayton were sure a comet had ap peared in the sky.

Man Miller, colored, was shot and killed by Mr. Glenn T. Boylston, % merchant, in Blackville Tuesday after-, noon. According to reports received here, the negro got into a dispute with Mr. Boylston -in the latter’a store about an account. It is said that he had a pitchfork in his hand ^nd Mr. Boylston shot at him. Mil ler turned and ran, followed by Mr. Boylston. The negro entered the store of a Mr. Huffman and ran be hind the counter. Thinking that he was trying to get a pistol or a gun, Mr. Boylston shot again, inflicting a wound that caused the negro’s death. Sheriff Sanders was notified and went to Blackville immediately. Mr. Boylston la said to be a splendid young fellow, while the negro bore a very unsavory reputation. * t J MW amr he • wms UMsniahM mmm ithey hawuA Tv* ywnqg a**n lusa s *046*182 eaaafll sd vaaww as I an pnwgpam pmnn*y and in ui •s© mgaflaam nmg ume a# an n* mmaiiai snamsaanmt School Auditorium, March 9th. » ' * pM V % M • M • maMnIHBaTm « %n*Kix* ni>* Mittt Httaat %% I HI 1 > ann • - N0ER t wo*' MB ^Mi to «au j iwkk* Bee© m wa# tk* pae | Mo UBa toaad*d BkE m •aa ■ML Mb ^ dM«toa j ooaad dasaaSe tke woaton *% Wawd aCBeaa 1 aaB a* wk**k ka awa as dadAaBmaaE < *Ea*to© I auftooo*a toads Uto aEl mbhn l Igkac I ©f oeypau Bke© ©ou< to a twee *ltoo©4 • gBBto Eto amfB ka* ad mmtoto Mu* y aflavs | UEBB oaBaadtodL EBE u 4ai aw* oud w 9»'> mm4 ©■EBaC k*w af aiao BOWE ■ 0 m marnm «r ©as Ike *WU**dl tow to faR ttomi (Wafa FtoaC fltoeu af td hy FV ©oadwa U itooa | wmem W tko f* I'rifaa* j Rtoa. wkaak toga* 9 V CEMM MM n**J tomar-1 © rtoek Baaday asoaup toJ Wto* ■a rWafa All 1 aaaw ehoas Id ka a‘ci l oW aro to r© | au4 BaraaiM paapto a oeof . r© or* fee tto tBwkwg tka* Ik* lawa % ' wtll hs called pmwisn af railma-i lahoca^uMnde^l*^ Them was ae mdscatma tonight aa In sentiment among the leaders who had rend the prea»dent‘s statement in answer to their request that he with hold hta approval from the bill.

With the lines again under private control there will almost immedi ately a resumption^ of the “days of competition.** Corporation heads have been preparing for this for several months. The various roads will at tempt to divide again the business which has been handled jointly dur ing federal control, reports indicated. The roads go back to private control under largely new conditions. The railroad bill, signed last night by the president, gives the systems certain new privileges, but as an offset, it enlarges the interstate commerce com mission, both in powers and person nel. The corporations no longer are masters completely of their bond is sues, nor are they allowed to stand solidly against labor for labor’s de mands, if not met by arbitration and negotiation between the parties con cerned, go to the high court provided in the bill and on which sif in*ad- /iiV»n tu litlmr imi reprint. a M I Murry aa4 ike gruuM maimng aa • >(>« aad thi* awttad quickly under the lays of tko sun.

Mr. Hines has as serted that the corporations would have had difficulty obtaining the necessary credit had the government not extended its care to them during the war. This difficulty has been swept aside to some extent for the roads can obtain loans from the gov ernment in these days of strained credit, it was explained. The inter state commerce commission is also bound by law to consider the roads’ financial status in rate-making so the properties may always stand on a solid base. Water Transportation.
