NEW YORK THREATENED
BY A SERIOUS BLAZE

NEW YORK, June 30.-An early moru-
ing blaze which threatened to destroy
several blocks of valuable water front
property along the Harlem river was
stifled by the firemen after a hard bat
tie shortly before daybreak today. The
loss will not exceed 100000, although
the fire reached a dozen warehouses and
factory buildings, burned it's way across
the staff covered structures of big
amusement park, killed 20 horses and
caused the loss of 800 chickens in a
poultry farmers store The loss is d.
vided among about 20 firms. The blaze
was a spectacular one and was watched
by fully 100000 persons.
Two city blocks adjoining the poultry
warehouse are occupied by negro fami-
lies and the tenants were out in force.
Hundreds of negroes responded to a call
for volunteers to go in search of the
Waterman, who was missing. After ind-
ing the Waterman the volunteers, each
carrying heavy freight of live poultry.
scurried back to their homes. Eight hum
bred chickens were reported either killed
by smoke or missing.

FREIGHT RATE CHANGES
WILL NOT Be STOPPED
Commission Declines to SuS-
pend Classification, lnvolv-
ing Over 5000 Items

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Announce-
ment was made by the interstate COM
merce commission today that it would
not suspend official classification No. &c.
involving over 5000 items, which was filed
to beepme effective July l. This declin-
alton to act is regarded as a victory for
the railroads.
Permission was granted to the rail-
roads operating out of Buffalo, N. Y, to
advance their rates on -four and other
wheat products 1 cent per 100 pounds to
eastern destinations -e.. -.-
COMPREHENSIVE CHECK.
For nearly month the commission has
been overwhelmed with protests against
the proposed new Classification of freight,
many shippers seeming to entertain the
idea that the Encouragement of freight
classification would result in largely in
creased rates. The subject was consid-
cred very carefully by the commission,
a comprehensive check being prepared on
the entire classification. In the 5000
items and ratings involved there are
only IS changes, of which % are reduc-
lions and 30 advances, the latter includ-
ing II increases in carload weights. In an
official statement issued today the COM
mission says: .... r.t
WHAT COMMISSION SAYS.
1.-THE principal increases are the carload
minimum of horse vehicles from 10000 to
L, 900 pounds and an advance in the clas-
sifcation of automobiles from first class
10 per cent of first class. and the
commission is not satisfied that these
items should be suspended. This ruling,
however, will not prevent or delay the
hearing of any complaint which has been
made or may be made against the rea-
sonableness of these or any increases af-
fected by the new classification" s
Oficial classification territory includes
all that part of the United States north
of the Potomac and Ohio rivers and
east of the Mississippi river. 1t takes
in the cities of ST. Louis and Chicago.
