ROADS HOLD UP
REPRESENTING CAR
PIERS AND KNAPP AGREE.
Pact Entered Into With Eastern
Lines May Be Followed by
Western Roads.

Washington, July 21.-Important
advances in freight rates recently
made by the railways in eastern class
fication territory will be suspended
voluntarily by the railroads until No
vember 1 next. This agreement was
made by committee representing
the carriers and by Chairman Knapp,
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion.
Chairman Knapp authorized the
following announcement concerning
the voluntary action taken by the
railroads:
at being understood that the COM
mission would exercise its authority
under the new law and suspend all
general important rate advances
made for the purpose of increasing
revenue, the principal carriers in Of
fetal classification territory pro-
posed today voluntarily to postpone
the effective date of such advanced
rates until November next, and an
arrangement to that effect was made
after a conference with the commits
sion.
"This will not delay investigation
and decision as TO the neasonableness
of the proposed advances. but will OBJ
viate the necessity at this time for
numerous suspension orders which
otherwise would be made"
1t is not unlikely that a similar ar
rangement may be made before the
end of this week between the com
mission and the carriers in the West
ern Trunk Line Association territory.
The carriers have taken this attitude
in order to facilitate the work of the
commission.

NEWLY DISCOVERED DOCU.

Prof. Wallace Unearths Papers In an
Old Lawsuit That Suggest
Poets Resources.
GLOBE THEATERS PROFITS

Every age has had It's own concep-
ton OF shakespere. but We of today
are enjoying a nearer approach TO the
man and his associates than has been
granted at any other time since his
death. For nearly half a century
scholars have been saying that we
should probably never learn anything
more that was definite about the per
sonal SHAKESPEARE. but In the last six
years have had the privilege OF
finding among documents preserved
IN various English archives. and OF
reporting. numerous records relating
To Shakespeare. his colleagues and
dramatic rivals. and the contempor-
airy theaters, which supply materials
that enable as TO a considerable ex-
tent to reconstruct the life OF the
poet.
Our FIRST definite knowledge OF
shEKesperes financial Interests in the
Globe and Blackfriars comes to us
from the Osteler-Hemynges records
(which made public In 1907 and
from the documents, now for the
hrst time revealed, In the suit OF
John Witter versus John Heminges
and Henry Condell. Previously We
could draw only general differences
from .neXact data and conditions.

set going that shakespere must have

he may have retired TO Stratford II

itiyely IN most biographical notices
on the basis OF that mere Inference.
that he had no shares IN the theaters
az the time OF his death This notion
arose from the fact that In his will
shakcspere does not mention any the
atrlcal interests. and from the err
roneous supposition that a will de-
vlses al the property specifically.
But the fact Is that Wills rarely
enumerate all the testator's posses
sions.
shakespcre's income from HIS the
atrlcal shares Is a perennial subject
OF debate which these documents re-
move from speculation. In publish
ing the OGteer-Hemynges suit last

Innate OF $500 annual profit for
Shakspcre's share. and game warn

that sum by fourteen. We shall know

from e33 TO $50 for different periods
from one-slxth OF the Blackfriars
prior to zoos, when Shakspere's com
pany took that theater and divided II
into seven shares. After the Globe
was rebuilt in 1914, the profits were
greatly Increased. Witter says, and he
now offers to accept half share, in
