RUSS CAPITAL IN SUSPENSE
Rojestvensky Keeps His Movements Sc
cret Even from Admiralty.

St. Petersburg, May l6.-The naval
game in the far east is watched with
intense interest. The Russian admiral
is keeping his movements and plans Sc
cret, not communicating even with the
home authorities.
The many wild reports emanating
from Toxic are attributed to the agi-
tated state of mind Of the Japanese
over the result of the coming battle.
The admiralty believes there is no
harm now in divulging the fact that
Rojestvensky's ships are overmanned
instead Of undermanned, as when they
left Libau there was still hope that
Chilean and Argentine warships could
be purchased, and portions of the crews
designed for such ships were carried on
board the Russian fleet.
Many naval men believe Rojestvensky
will pass out of the China sea into the
Pacific thru the Ballintang channel
north of Luzon, Philippine islands, and
give Formosa a wide berth.
Another division of reinforcements
for Rojestvensky is almost ready at
Kronstadt, and will be sent out under
Rear Admiral Parenago. 1t will con
sist of two fine new battleships, the
Slava and the Emperor Alexander II
two cruisers, a torpedo cruiser, a gun
boat, transport and several mino1
units. The division is now engaged II
speed trials and maneuvering off Kron
stadt The possession Of this division
naval men believe, may ultimately prove
Russia's salvation, in case the coming
battle is draw.

along the Red river are worried about
the spring food. The stream has risen
nine feet in eleven days and in some of

against high water this spring, but the

Gunboat in Port.

Toxic, May lett is reported that
Germany has dispatched force of
troops and occupied Hai-ehou, in the
southern portion of the province of
Sham ung, where they raised and sa-
luted the German flag.
Hai-chou is on an extensive bay,
north of the old channel of the Hoang
river.
Germany's object and intentions are
not clear. It is suggested that she is
seeking an extension of her interests
in China and is taking advantage of
present political conditions, but explain

It is feared that any changes in the
existing status quo of China, coupled
with the recent Indo-China incident
may seriously complicate the war stu

Reports Are Conflicting.
It is emi-officially announced that
the Japanese government has received
conflicting reports 9elating to the Hal

that the Germans occupied the place
and raised and saluted their flag, and
another to the effect that the German:

Berlin Denies Story.
Berlin, May l6.-The foreign office
replying to an inquiry of the Associate,
Press regarding the excitement at Toki
over the report that German troops hat
occupied Hai-chou, in the southern par
of the Shan-tung peninsula, says the re
port is wholly incorrect and one of sew
eral reports designed to make it appea
that Germany is attempting in Shan
tung what Russia did in Manchuris
The German government is doing moth
ing in Shan-tung outside of fulfilling he
treaty agreement with China, whic
fact has been communicated to both tn
Washington and Toxic governments
The foreign office regards these report
as spread to mislead the opinion of tn
world concerning German g aims an
acts.
Shanghai Is Skeptical.
Shanghai, May 16.-The rumore
landing of German troops at Hai-cho
and Kiang-su, near the southern borda
of the province Of Shan-tung, is yer
doubtful. The rumor possibly oriy
mated from the presence Of a Germa

Expert Tells Senators No Pro-
Railroad Shippers Come from

Washington, May l6.-An important
sidelight was thrown on the railroad
rate situation yesterday by a colloQuy
between Professor Ripley Of Harvard,
who was testifying as an expert on the
rate question, and Senator Keane Of
New Jersey, one Of the most pro-
nounced pro-railroad members Of the
senate committee which is conducting
the present hearings.
fore the Industrial commission several
years ago and is a master Of the phi
1osophy and details Of that question.
He was testifying to- the general eff
feet that the majority Of the shippers
who have appeared before the senate
committee are from the large centers
Of population and not from the smaller
places, where the determinations chief
ly exist.
He noted that the testifying ship
pers have, with few exceptions, said
that they were well satisfied with the
present condition and were against any
change in the law.
Witnesses Most Benefited.
These men, Professor Ripley pointed
out, by reason Of their living in the
large cities, have been enjoying the
benefit Of the favoring rates for years
and they enjoy them now.
Keane Tried to Reply.
Senator Keane undertook to reply tt
this statement by saying that the com
mittee had heard number of shippers
from the smaller cities and towns
among them one from GAINESVILLE, Wis.
and that they had agreed with the ship
pers from the large cities in saying thai
there was moo need for legislation.

PARRY DIPS INTO
RATE CONTROVERSY
National Association of Manufac-
turers Is in Session in At
lanta.

Atlanta, Ga., May l6.-Ihe tenth an
nual gathering of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers of the United
States, representing more than three
quarters Of the thirteen billions of in
vested capital of this country, assem-
bled in the grand opera house today.
The annual address Of President ID. M.
Parry Of Indianapolis was first in or
der.
In discussing the pending interstate
commerce legislation, Mr.: Parry ap,
and competition, as he did all thru his
speech. He declared that the question
of rebates did not properly enter into
the discussion Of the Esch Townsend
bill. as the leaders in the movement in
its behalf themselves declare that the
present laws are fully adequate to meet
that evil. The issue raised by the pro-
posed bill, he said, is whether the gov
ernment, thru a commission, shall es-
tablish inelastic legal rates to take the
place of the rates now fixed by compe-
tition
He quoted recent interview of
Representative Stevens Of Minnesota,
of the house committee on interstate
commerce, going to show he said, that
the substitution Of system Of in:
elastic rates for the rates determined
by competition would result in great
injury to industry in many sections Of
mission or any political body that
might be created would yield to the
most clamorous demand, and that, as
result, the rates between different
localities would be more inequitable
than the rates now fixed by competi
ton between these localities. In
maintaining that competitive condi
tions are still potent IN regulating
| rates, he said:
| AS under the continuous working Of free
competitive conditions rates may be ex-
pected gradually to decline, it remains 70,
the advocates Of the inelastic socialistic
| rates to show why any change from com.
Ipetitive conditions Is desirable, anc
whether socialistic rate-making would in.
sure lower rates in the future. The com.
plants coming from shippers against the
railroads are almost wholly complaints o.
discrimination in favor Of other ship.

Shippers Want Impartiality.
What the shippers want in this country

impartial treatment OF the public must

Written for The Star
If you We're your father
Would you like to have your habit of
smoking an evening pipe criticised by a
half-grown son who smokes cigarettes and
a daughter who chews gum?
Wouldn't you like to bring friend home
to supper some night secure in the thought
that your daughter will make herself es-
pecially agreeable to the guest, and your
son will not indulge in facetious remarks
about fathers bald spot?"
Wouldn't you like to be consulted some
times when the family is invited out FOR
dinner or to party? OF course you might
be very much absorbed in the factory or
the shop, but you might still feel that you
possessed your reasoning faculties in social
matters and might like to send your own
regrets or acceptance
Would you like to have your son correct
your grammar in the presence of guests or
your daughter signal across the table when
you commit some breach in dinner etiouet-
tie? Perhaps you really mean to sneak and
eat correctly. but yhen you were the age of
the son or daughter in college you were
pitching hay in the field or laying in some
dark warehouse the foundations of the for
tune which is now paying for their college
education.
Would you not enjoy telling an occasional
fefhlniScence Oh your boyhOod days on the
farm without having clear. youthful voice
interrupt with, ~Oh. don't ring in any of
those chestnuts on us?''
Don't you think that you would take gen
uine satisfaction in a little den of your
own, furnished according to your own ideas
OF comfort, even if they are a bit old-fash-
toned? To be sure, mother must have her
sewing room, pretty sister Isabel her little
b"udoir and the children q nursery but
isn't there some corner that might be turn
ed over to father?
Don't you think you would become rather
tired of being asked to sit on the side or
back porch in summer and in the dining
room in winter, so that the young people
may monopoliZe the more desira BILE qua
tiers. night after night to entertain their
guests?
Don't you think that you would be very
much surprised If you came home some
evening to find your evening clothes laid
out for you and pretty young daughter
waiting for you as an escort to concert
or a party?
Don't you think you would take more
interest in these same pretty daughters and
growing sons If they allowed you to share
their pleasures? Perhaps there would not
be so much talk about foolish extrava-
gances' if you We're in on the game" as
well as on the bills.
Don't you think you might almost drop
with heart failure if the older children sug-
gested staying home this summer and send

All fathers are not old and stupid az
they look and it's wise child who knows
enough to keep her father home nights.
