FILE NEW TARIFFS
PUT TING UP RATES
Railroads in Southeastern Terri
tory to Increase Charges on
Fresh Meats June 1st.

WASHINGTON, May 2-It appears like
~ that the anticipated increase in rail-
road freight rates is about to be made.
A few days ago a number of the inter-
state commerce commission expressed the
opinion that within three or four months,
unless a decided improvement in railway
conditions should take place 1t probably
would be necessary for the CARRIERS either
to increase freight rates or to reuuce the
wages of their employers. Personally and
officially, the commissioner deprecated the
taking of either horn of the dilemma
by the railroads, but he believed 1t to be

NEW CONTRACT FOR SAILORS
Regulation Adopted to Do Away
With Cause of Disputes.

a new regulation governing the ship
ping of seamen on American vessel: went
into effect October 1, and is expected to
be beneficial to shipping and to bring
about more amicable relations between
officers and seamen.
The new law requires that the master
of every vessel of the burden of fifty
tons or upward bound from a port in one
state to port in any other than an ad-
joining state. except vessels of the bur-
den of seventy five tons or upward bound
from port on the Atlantic to port on
the Pacific, or vice versa, shall. before he
proceeds on such voyage, make an agree
ment in writing or in print with every
seaman on board such vessel, except such
as shall be apprenticed as servant to him
self or owner. declaring the voyage or
term of time for which such seaman shall
be shipped.
The new law will compel every master
of a coastwise vessel that trades to
other than an adjoining state to either
sign on his crew at the United States
shipping commissioners Office or have a
written or printed contract to be signed
by each of the crew. On the other hand.
If any member of the crew violates the
contract or deserts the vessel before the
completion of the contract he forfeits all
the wages due him unless 1t Is mutually
agreed between the master and the sea-
man wishing to get his discharge.
The new law will do away with much
trouble that has heretofore occurred. par
ticularly among the crews of coastwise
vessels.

Hats OF!
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
For some years city ordinance in Bos-
ton has prescribed the removal of their
hats by ladies at public places of amuse-
ment. And in other cities where there
is no provision of the law on the subject
1t has become the general custom for
ladies' to remove their hats at evening
performances. But neither in Boston
nor elsewhere do women think it incum-
bent upon them to remove their hats at
matinees. 1t scarcely need be said that
persons sitting behind the two-story hats
now in vogue can see through them no
better in the afternoon than at night.
Therefore there seems no reason why
those who pay to see a performance and
the performers should be dnied thir I'M
doubted right, irrespective CT the time
This Is the view to which the MANAGE
ment of the Boston Symphony Orchestra
has arrived. At the first concert of the sea-
son in Boston last Friday afternoon large
placard was placed in a conspicuous posi-
ton bearing the following: Ladies are
requested to remove their hats during the
concert to obviate the cause of many
complaints by subscribers whose view OF
the stare has been obstructed." In addi-
ton after the audience was seated the
ushers passed down the aisle and handed
to each lady a card bearing the same
humble request. The Boston Symphony
Orchestra will give its first concert OF
the season in Washington on Tuesday
November 3. If the management will
follow here the example set in it's own
city it will receive the grateful apprecia-
ton of hundreds of sufferers

FIRE ESCAPES INCOMPLETE.
Principal of Central High School
Complains to Commissioners.

That the fire escapes on the Central
High School. which are being erected
under the supervision of the building de-
partment of the District. are in an incom-
plete condition, no work having been
done on them for more than three weeks.
is the substance of letter of complaint
written to the board of education by
Emory NJ. Wilson, principal of the school,
and received by the Commissioners to-
day.
Mr.. Wilson says the fire escape proper
appears to be complete. but the exits
from the second and third floor corridors
to the fire escape have not been finished.
1t is now impossible to leave the build
ing by the escapes. he contends. and he
urges that the completion be hurried.
When the complaint was referred to the
inspector of buildings he reported that
the delay is due to the firm which con-
tracted to furnish certain necessary parts
to the escape failing to deliver them. He
said word has been received that the de
livery will be made in a few days.

RESPOND TO ALARMS.
Companies Of Fire Department Elk.
tinguish Several Blazes.

Two alarms of fire were sounded yes
terday afternoon because of the burning
of brush and leaves in the woods One
fire was near Pierce Mill road, and the
other near Benning. The latter, 1t is
thought, was caused by sparks from a
railroad engine. Neither resulted in ma
terial damage.
The fire department received a call
from box 100 about 1:45 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, the alarm having been
sounded because of a blaze in the I'm
perial Film Exchange, Thomas Moore,
agent. 434 On street. The cause of the
fire could not be determined. 1t Is esti-
mated that the build ng suff cred about
5000 damage, while the damage to the
stock was considerably greater.
About noon yesterday q blaze occurred
In the building of tie Standard Material
Company. Gi.ard street F. L. Dimmick,
manager sustaining painful burns to his
hands. The fire started where small
quantity of gasoline had been spilled.
and had 1t not been for quick work by
Mr.. Dimmick there would probably have
been a disastrous conflagration. Mem
bers of the fire department responded to
an alarm, and the blaze was extinguished
before the property had been damaged.
A slight blaze occurred in the store of
the Elphonzo Youngs Company, 42S 9th
street, yesterday. A.Ie fire was near the
coffee rooster. 1t was extinguished be-
fore any damage resulted.
