(By AngelOmaria Peunella)

An industrial boom has revolu-
tionized the cities of northern
Italy; and a food of emigration
to North and South America has
entirely changed the situation in
Sicily and the South The tall
ans are now thoroughly alive to
the opportunities Of science and
trade. The recent Milan EXPOSE
ton was ample evidence of this.
Especially in the development of
wireless teIegrapny and the max
ing of high-class automobiles,
Italy is now on the firing line of
modern progress. More than
three thousand Italians crossed
the ocean to visit our st. Louis
exposition and our business with
Italy, passenger and freight, has
grown 50 fast that it is making
eleven steamship lines prosperous.

FEDERAL OFFICERS

Belief Exists That Proceedings Should

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE plan of

cation between the Pennsylvania Su-
gar Refining company, and the Ameri-

view to ascertaining whether there is
any basis for criminal prosecution
against the latter company. or its Of
ficers, was the reported subject of an
extended conferepce today in the office
of United States District Attorney
Wise.
Two special assistants from Attorney
General Wikersham's office, detailed to
cooperate with Mr. Wise, were pre-
sent.
The Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
company's suit against the so-called
trust, was brought under the Sherman
antitrust law, claiming damages in
triplicate for the closing of the form
er's plant, for which the American COM
pany was alleged to have been respon-
sible.
The suit was compromised, but the
federal authorities here believe that if
any evidence was presented tending to
show violation of the Sherman law, it
should be followed up.

Interstate Commerce Body to Meet in
Los Angeles in Fall to Determine
Schedules to lntermoun-
tain Points

The entire interstate commerce COM
mission will come to Los Angeles next
fall to consider a railroad rate ques-
ton far reaching enough in its possl-
bilities to put a majority of the job
bers of the Pacific coast out OF pusl7
ness should it uphold a revolutionary
change in rates now before the COM
mission. This change, in effect, would
throw open intermountain territory TO
the jobbers of Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
sas City and other large interior points,
while erecting a barrier between 1t and
Pacific coast jobbing interests.
The question was involved in the
famous Spokane rate decision concern
ing which the interstate commerce com
mission has reversed itself far enough
to grant postponement until fall,
when the interests of the entire coast
will come up for consideration. west
ern jobbers consider the consequences
of more far reaching Importance than
any other matter that has ever IN

traffic authorities believe that it con-

roads to reverse rate standards in
most revolutionary manner before the
completion of the Panama canal and
it's effect on water competition.
Want Proportionate Reduction
Coast tobbers would not object to the
proposed reductions from interior points
to intermountain territory providing
proportionate reduction could be had
from the coast terminals. The stand
ard has always been to make rates to
the western interior points on the basis
of the competitive sea rate. to the coast
adding the rate between the coast ter
minal and the interior. This was re-
a fNTinninla thar
suggestion to change it bv cutting rates
To the intermountain cities and ignoring
the sea rates was regarded as move
omen TO suspicion. Los Angeles, San
Francisco and other Pacific coast job
bers and manufacturing interests came
to the conclusion that it means that
their market in the mountains was TO
be taken from them and handed over
to Kansas City and other central cities.
The matter crystallized in the famous
Spokane decision, originally to have be-
come effective June l. In this material
reductions were ordered in freight rates
from eastern cities to Spokane, but
without corresponding reductions on
rates from coast terminals to that city.
Ry force of competition the order would
have compelled similar reductions in
eastern rates to Reno, Phoenix, Salt
Lake and other points, and the coast
iobbers and manufacturers were
aroused to the Importance of the move.
AS a result of their protests. the COM
mission postponed the taking effect of
the order until July l, and this week on
