SWEDEN LOOKING FOR 4 HOME
Nation viii Probably Build a Le-
cation in American Capital.
Minister de LHEerCrHutE Impressed
with Idea of Locating in
City of Washington.

Sweden may eventually have per-
manent home in Washington TO- its lega-
ton
Herman de Lagercrantz. the new Minis
ter 10 the United States. who is pro-
gressive in more ways than one. is in
favor Of building here. Since their ar
rival Ia the city. last Wednesday, the
Minister and Mrs. de Lagercrantz have
been searching for "a home, and at the
same time a building that would be suit
able for Office purposes.
Several houses have been inspected, but
az yet none has been found that exactly
suited the Swedish representative.
Most OF the houses are too SMALL he
said yesterday. You see. we have seven
children that are soon TO join as in
America. making nine in the family"
Minister de Lagercrantz is impressed
with the idea Of buying a site in the
suburbs or In the country for his home.
He is particularly fond Of riding and
outdoor sports, and likes 20 be away
from the heart OF the city. once in a while
at least.
The question Of a building for the
American representative Of Sweden was
discussed by Minister de Lagercrantz
with several members of Parliament be
fore he left home. They seemed 70 be in
favor Of such a movement While moth
ing definite was decided. Mr.. de Lager
crantz has been thinking the proposition
over since he assumed his new duties
here.
Mr. de LagercTantz himself is in favor
Of the erection Of a home for the Swedish
Legation. However. he will consider the
suggestion thoroughly before he takes
the matter up with the government
officials in his own country.
In case Mr. de Lagercrantz and the
Swedish government decide TO build. and
should a tract of land in the country be
selected, il may be that a precedent viii
be established among the diplomats. as
theirs would be the first to be located
outside Of Washington.
Mr. de LageTcrantz has almost fully
recovered from a slight attack of br0n-
chitis, from which he suffered while on
his way 10 the jamestown Exposition
Thursday night. AT Hampton Roads i
physician was called, and he advised the
Minister 10 remain in his stateroom This
he did, and as a consequence missed the
ceremonies He returned to Washington
Saturday night, and was greatly improved
yesterday.
For the present Mr.. and Mrs. de Lager
crantz will remain at the New Willard.
while the legation offices will be at the
Benedick until other arrangements are
made

WILL INVESTIGATE SHIPPERS
Interstate Commerce Commission
Would Stop Underbilling.
Railroads 10 HeIp Tribunal I'm the
Prosecution of the Rate Law
Violations.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has started sweeping investigation into
charges that hundreds of shippers
throughout the United States. engaged in
various lines OF business, have been guilty
of undertaking and underweighing COM
modlties In violation Of the provisions Of
the new railroad rate act AS a result
an order has been made that in the
future all railroads shall keep a record
OF violations OF the law in this respect
that shall be accessible at all times to
agents Of the commission. It will thus be
brought home to shippers that the rail
road rate act regulates their operation as
much as it does those Of the railroads.
Undertaking. or underWeighing ship
ments offered in interstate commerce is
punishable by a fine and Imprisonment,
or both. In the case of two oil COM
panies doing business in North Carolina,
strong evidence was obtained that rail-
road companies were defrauded Of COM
paratlvely large sums by the underweigh-
ing Of shipments. The evidence collected
in this connection has been forwarded to
the Department of Justice. and proceed
ings are about TO be instituted against the
two concerns involved.
Complaint is made that the evil Of IN
derbilling and underweighing is steadily
growing. II is said that the railroads are
timid about reporting such violations Of
law to the commission on account Of the
trouble and inconvenience that such a
step causes The railroads. as a rule.
merely direct the attention of an Offend
ing shipper 10 an instance Of under
weighing and collect the damages. The
commission, under the new law. insists
that the railroads shall cooperate with it
in prosecuting offending shippers and
the investigation just set on foot was
planned for the purpose of getting at all
the facts

HADLEY THEN TAKES ACTION
State Courts Issue Restraining Order
Against 18 Roads to Compel

The Law.

st. Louis, June ia temporary
restraining order operative against
seven railroads centering in ST. Louis
was obtained Friday from Circuit
Judge Reynolds by Attorney Gen
eral Hadley as part of a move
ment instituted by him to COM
pei the RAILROADS of Missouri to obey
two-cent passenger rate law and the
maximum freight rate statute both OF
which went into effect Friday. The
action in st. Louis was simultaneous
with similar action in Kansas City
where Assistant Attorney General
Kennish obtained a temporary re-
straining order against other roads OF
Missouri. Eighteen roads are con-
cerned in the matter.

on June "a to how cause why the in
junction issued should no. be made
permanent.
Notwithstanding the injunction
tickets were sold Friday at the usual
three-cent rate at Union station and
at the city ticket offices. Ticket
agents said they had no instructions to
deviate from the usual threecent fare
rate. Many purchasers OF tickets de
manded receipts, hoping they might
obtain rebates if the two-cent rate
law is eventually upheld by the courts
and made operative.
When Attorney General Hadley
learned Friday that the railroads,
through Attorney Frank Hagerman,
obtained an injunction from Federal
Judge Mcpherson at Kansas City,
prohibiting the state officials from en-
forcing the two-cent rate and Maxi
mum freight laws he declared they
had violated an agreement with him

he had no official knowledge of what
