BLOCK |SOPPOSED
TO RATES PROPOSED
Attempted Increase Thwarted
by Suspension Order of
l.C. Commission.

The attempt OF about fourteen rail,
roads operating between the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers to resume ad-
vances in rates already condemned
from Washington was thwarted by a
suspension order announced by the in
terstate commerce commission today in
what is known as the Burnham- Hanna
Munger case of Kansas City.
The suspension involves long -stand-
ing fight between st. Louis and Kansas
City jobbing interests and affects an
immense traffic from the east. The ulti-
mate decision will be of vital impor-
lance to not only the immediate vol
ume OF business but as precedent as
to rate making by basic points.
The commission ordered the class rates
from the Mississippi to the Missouri ap-
piicable on shipments moving from points
east Of st. Louis to Kansas City and
beyond. The principle involved is that
the rates from the east to Kansas City
should be lower than the aggregate of
the rates from the east to st. Louis and
st. Louis to Kansas City.
F. Increase Contemplated.
The railroads appealed to the courts,
and when the Supreme Court Of the
United States sustained the commission
the railroads put into effect the decreased
rates. The litigation extended over al
most two years, and with the near ex-
piration of a fixed period the roads gave
notice of the contemplated restoration of
the rates which had been condemned.
The roads which filed these schedules
include the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe, Chicago and Alton, Chicago. Burling-
ton and Quincy. Chicago and Great West
ern, Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul,
Chicago and Northwestern. Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific, Illinois Central, Iowa
Central, Missouri Pacific. Wabash and
others, several hundred other carriers be-
ing made defendants. The Burnham
Company is Kansas City jobbing con-

Subject Of Criticism.

There has been much criticism Of the
cars fitted with the longitudinal seats and
demand for cross seats, on the ground
that the cars with the longitudinal seats
are much better designed to carry pas
sengers standing up and hanging to a
strap than to give the passengers seats
After the committee has looked into the
matter It will frame recommendations
which will be submitted to the Board Of
Trade.

WOMAN AIDS AT PUMPS
AS VESSEL GOES DOWN
Heroism Displayed Aboard
Schooner, Following
Accident.

NEW YORK, November 16-How hero
| ism and steadfast hope won in the face
| Of apparent disaster was told yesterday
| by the crew. whose rescue from the sink
| ing schooner Lucy E. Friend was re-
| lated briefly in dispatches. Capt. and
Mrs. Frank E. Lowry, Byron Wallace, a
steward, and four negro sailors. who
composed the crew Of the lost schooner,
arrived here on board the Livingstone, of
| the Atlantic Fruit Company's line. An
interesting member Of the rescued group
| was a French poodle, a pet of Mrs.
Lowry.
1.-THE Lucy E. Friend, a three-masted
schooner. lat feet long and registering
All tons, left Newport News last Satur-
day with a cargo q pig iron. bound for
Bridgeport. Conn. All went well until
and heavy sea rose. The schooner,
which was of the coast of Maryland, was
pounded heavily and her hull, more than
twenty-eight years old, sprang leak.
Woman Helps in Pumping.
Two steam pumps were set to work and
later two hand pumps, but these made no
Roadway against the water that steadily
was filing the vessel. Mrs. Lowry took
her turn with the negro sailors. Wallace,
the steward, although seventy years old,
also did his part.
When the water had risen so high that
1t put the steam pumps out of commission
kCapt Lowry ordered the pig iron thrown
overheard. Mrs. Lowry worked with the
others until her hands were SO torn by
| the heavy pieces of rough metal that she
could lift no more.
Toward evening two steamships passed
the schooner. but no attention was paid
| to her signals Of distress At midnight
Capt. Lowry set fire to several tar barrels.
An hour later the lights of the Living
stone were seen. But the schooner was
settling and Capt. Lowry ordered his wife
and crew to take to the yawl. Mrs. Lowry
| tied her pet cat and dog In separate bags
| and tried to take them with her. The cat
| jumped overheard, however, in its sack
| and disappeared.
Yawl Beyond Reach.
Before the captain and steward could
leave the schooner the yawl was washed
| out Of reach and they had to jump over
board in the darkness. although neither
could swim. By good fortune they caught
ropes thrown to them from the small boat
and were drawn aboard. Half an hour
| later the crew was lifted on board the
| Livingstone.
Capt Lowry is from Portland, Me. He
has been at sea for thirty-nine Of his
forty mine years The schooner was about
thirty miles east of the Winter Quarter
lights, on the coast of Virginia, where
| she was abandoned.
