RAILROADS Differ
REGARDING RATES
Committee Appointed to Revise
Schedules VIII Not Report
Until December |
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE difference
Of opinion among. the presidents of
the trunk lines as TO the eXpediency of
raising railroad rates is so great that
no concerted action viii be taken by
the railroads, at least for the present.
The meeting on Thursday adjourned
indefinitely and the committees ad-
justing the new schedules probably
viii not be able 10 report before De-
cember !.
BY that time many railroadmen be-
lieve that the business revival viii
have gone so far as to make either an
advance in freight rates or a reduc-
ton in wages unnecessary.
James J. Hill, who returned to his
Office today from q three weeks fishing
trip TO Canada, strongly supports Har-
riman in his contention that there
should be an advance in freight rates.
Hill said:
There is no alternative but TO raise
rates. The credit Of the railroads has
been seriously impaired. The way to
enhance credit is to increase rates. The
manufacturers who decry an advance
in rates fail 10 appreciate that without
an improved credit the railroads viii
be unable 10 expend the hundreds of
millions which hitherto have made
prosperity possible to themselves and
employees. Wages should not be cut.
Efficient labor is essential to success

Deny CHARGES OF
WHITTIER TRUSTEE
Superintendent Greeley Refutes
Statement of Trustee Des=
mOnd of Mismanagement
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LOS ANGELES. July 1.-THE sensa-
tional charges of Trustee G. G. Desmond
against Superintendent Greeley were
denied in detail in an answer filed at
the investigation by the state board of
charities and corrections, which opened
this afternoon at Whittier.
Testimony presented by Desmond at
the opening of the hearing was to the
effect that the officers of the school had
maintained a sideboard well stocked
with liquor; the,young women attending
Berkeley had sent their clothing to
relatives in official position at Whittier
by express to be laundered and returned
to them at the states expense; that
Greeley went driving frequently with
a woman employed in the girls school;
that many immoral practices prevailed
and that a grand jury investigation is
warranted into conditions at the hos
pitaL
This evidence was brought by w. AL
mont Gales of Berkeley, secretary of
the state board Of charities and correc-
tions. who was prompted by Desmond.
The cross. examination was conducted
by E. c. Cooper. private secretary to
Governor Gillett- Members of the state
board present were Rev. Charles A.
Ramm of San Francisco, DIR. j. X. Nc
Lean of Berkeley and DIR. E. c. Moore
of Los Angeles.
Desmond has been getting madder
since his charges against Greeley first
became known. He now has assailed a
brother trustee. T. E. Newlin, alleging
that Newlin drew expenses for attend
ing a charities convention in Virginia,
though he was not there. Newlin de-
nies this. Trustee Clark was assailed
for approving this warrant for Newlin.
Another day probably will be consumed
In the presentation of Desmond's case.
and the investigation is likely to con-
tinue for a week.

An attempt by four men to rob the
telephone slot machine in the saloon of
Henry Heines, Spear and Market

gagged John Swain, the bar tender, in
conversation the other couple entered
the telephone booth and proceeded to
get busy.
SWANS suspicious were, however.
aroused and he suddenly flung open the
door of the booth and caught the men
in the act of robbing the telephone.
Running out into the street, he fired
two shots in the air to summon the
police and two of the four were caught
by Policeman de Grammont and Morse
Patrolman Dathe. They gave their
names as Dennis Roche and William

Prisoners knowledge of
Guilty Persons

Il believe that we shall be able to
was not at the places dynamited at the
times of the explosions said Attorney
James w. Scott, who is representing
Claudlanes, last evening. Scott mad
been working on the defense of his
client all day and said that he was con-
fdent of what he spoke. While eX-
pressing his belief that Claudianes was
at neither the Schenck residence or
the Gallagher houses at Adams point
he remained silent when asked his be-
lief as to whether or not his client
might not know the identity of the
guilty persons, even though he person
sion of the crimes.
Stress in proving the alibi of the de-
fendant is laid on the testimony of A.
Ross, proprietor of the Gaiety oyster
house, 1922 Dupont street, and S. ID.
Tortaro, barber with a shop next
door to Ross place. About the time
of the first dynamite outrage John
Claudianes was in the employ of Ross
as a waiter.
Detective Dan Murphy also ques-
toned Ross and Tortaro yesterday. To
the detective the restaurant man and
the barber told story that does not
prove anything in favor CT the youth
full Greek.
John Claudianes was employed by
me about the time of the first Gal
lagher dynamiting, but he left about
that time; | cannot say whether or not
it was upon the day of the explosion,
or the day preceding it. He worked
all day and late into the evening while
he was with me. He left on account
of quarrel over wages. 1 also knew
Peter Claudianes, but not very we'll,
and do not know where he is now
S. d. Tortaro, the barber, remembers
distinctly that John Claudianes worked
for Ross, but he cannot tell definitely
why the Greek quit his employment
The detectives of the district attor-
ney's Office have been working the
Latin quarter ever since the Claudianes
disclosure was made. Ross restaurant
is near Hinkley alley. There is no
doubt about the identity of the waiter,
as the man under arrest, but the criti-
cal point is to determine the day that
Claudianes quit Ross place.

KATSURA'S POLICY
WILL BE PEACEFUL
Japan's New Premier to Inn
prove Country's Relations
With All Powers

TOKYO, July 17.-Marquis Katsura,
the new premier and minister of
finance of Japan, today granted an in
terview outlining the policies to be
carried out during the governments
administration. The entire tenor of
the interview showed a determination
to improve the political and CONNER
cial relations between Japan and all
foreign countries, to remodel the
finances of the country and to build
up the industries of Japan.
Marquis Katsura said: THE recent
change in the cabinet was caused sim
ply on account of the continued i'll
health of former Premier Saionji al
though there may have been other un-
essential reasons, necessitating q
change of policy toward foreign coun-
tries. 1 need hardly say that my poll
icy will be peaceful, the prime object
of it being to maintain peace through
out the world. With this end in view,
l will do my best to cultivate and in
crease the present good relations ex-
listing between Japan and the powers.
Japan must not be misunderstood in
her sincere desire TO maintain peace
Anything calculated in even the slight
est degree to disturb the peace of the
world shall be most scrupulously
avoided by me.
mand my utmost attention. The dis
'turbance of Japanese finances on ac-
count of the recent war between Japan
and Russia must be allayed within
the shortest possible time. Redemp-
tion bonds, more especially those that
are unproductive, will receive my first
attention. | hope to be able to read
just Japan's finances, and thus dispel
the abnormal condition now existing.
TO DEVELOP RESOURCES
The upbuilding of Japan's econom-
ical and commercial development will
be one of my most serious endeavors,
but in carrying out this policy | shall
be most careful to avoid anything cal
culated to disturb the peaceful rela-
tions of the powers. These are the
principal objects to be pursued. The
adjustment of the national finances
and the development of the national
resources are two inseparable meas
ures, and therefore shall command my
utmost attention, and the utmost at
tention of my government"
The entire tenor of Marquis Kat
sura's utterances showed sincere de-
termination to bring conditions in
Japan within the most practical scope,
and retrenchment will undoubtedly be

PETER CLAUDIANES FLEES
Suspect Believed TO Have De-
parted on Night Freight Train
SPECIAL DISPATCH 10 THE CALL

RENO, New, July l7.-Investigations
here today have led the detectives to
believe that Peter Ciaudianes has es
capped from his hiding place in Hazen,
where Miss Tiny Hall Ritter was &C
cUsed of having secreted him, and that
he has gone east on a Southern Pacinc
freight train at night. A search of five
hours at Hazen by deputy sheriffs and
police officials failed TO discover a clue

If Miss Ritter actually did have
Claudianes at her home her part could
have consisted OF no more than merely
concealing him until he could arrange

Miss Ritter was questioned, but she ab-
sOlUtely denied knowledge of the
Creeks whereabouts. She intimated
that relatives of Claudianes lived in
Reno and that they could tell more
about his actions than any one. Miss
Ritter. according TO the police and ac
Guaint8nces of both she and Claudianes,
is engaged to the fugitive.
