NO NEED TO
PUT RATES UP
Brandeis Argues Railroads
Could Save a Million
A DAY In EXPENSES
A Scientific Plan outlined-The Unit
Cost of Each Operation Should
Be Reached and Compare
son Made.
A DAY IN EXPENSES

Washington, Nov. o. Before the in
terstate commerce commission yesterday
was resumed the hearing on the ques-
ton Of whether the roads in what is
known as official classification territory
shall be allowed to increase their freight
rates.
The hearing is OF the utmost interest
to shippers, railroad men, and the gem
eral public for various reasons one of
them being that Louis ID. Brandeis OF
Boston is attempting to bring out, as
counsel for a large number of seaboard
shippers, that the railroads are not being
run as smoothly as they ought to be, and
that If their organization were more eff
cient they could effect savings that would
not make it necessary for them to be
demanding higher rates.
Mr.. Brandeis is especially well known
in Washington, by reason of the fact
that he was the attorney for Clifford
pinehot and T. r. CLAWS in the hearing
of the Ballnger Pinehot controversy be-
fore special congressional committee
last session.
The hearing in which Mr. Brandeis IL
taking a hand as counsel for interested
shippers involves increases in rates that
would impose an added burden OF about
S27 100000 annually The territory
known as official classification territory
lies east of the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Ship
pers in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and, in fact, al all the rail-
road centers on the east coast and in
the whole northwestern section OF the
union, are concerned Mr., Brandeis is
appearing as counsel for various organ
izations OF seaboard shippers, and in
that capacay he is tackling the job
OF convincing the interstate commerce
commission that the railroads are not
entitled to the increases they want in
an unusual and original fashion
The railroads have been heard before
the commission and have sought to show
that they are entitled to the higher
rates. The commission has now taken
up the shippers side OF the case. In the
hearings OF the railroads, in the questions
put to the railroad representatives by
Mr. Brandeis, good deal was heard
about the efficiency idea that is, the
idea that if the various phases Of rail-
road operation were worked out to their
highest measure Of efficiency the cost OF
operation would be largely reduced.
Mr. Braudeis is prepared to convince
the commission OH this point. He has
experts ready to testify in support OF
his proposition. and viii bring forth emf
nent industrial engineers who are pre-
pared to give even the railroad men some
information ON the most efficient and
economical processes OF doing the various
things that 90 to build or repair or i'm
prove or operate railroads.
Hitherto the public has heard little Of
the science OF efficiency engineering. Now
Brandeis is prepared to shed some il

FOUR PERSONS SLAIN,
HOUSE IS THEN FIRED
Missouri Farmer, Wife and Two Chill
diem Murdered, Three In Their
Beds--House Set On Fire to
Conceal Crime.

Maryville, Mo, Nov. % Oda Hub
bell, farmer near Barnard, Mo-, and
his wife and two children, were shot
and killed at their home Sunday night
by an unknown person, who set fire to
their house TO conceal the crime.
Hubbell and his wife We're each 80
years old and the children killed Were
girl aged and boy aged 1. This
constituted the entire family.
Early Sunday night, neighbors heard
shots at the HIubbel home, but no one
made an effort TO investigate. At mid
night it was discovered that the Hub
bell house was burning and all the neigh
bors hurried to assist in extinguishng
the flames. When this was accomplished
the charred remains Of the two chill
dren were found in bed in their room,
where it was evident they had been
killed, while sleeping Hubbells body
was found living ON the floor Of another
room and his wifes body in her bed,
where she had been shot,
1t is believed Hubbell had a struggle
with the murderer. A pool Of blood
outside the house indicated that he had
been shot there and his body was
dragged inside after he was killed
There is no clew to the identity Of
the murderer although one neighbor re-
called having heard Hubbell say that
a gambler from whom he had won mon
ey had threatened him.
Officers are searching for the muir
derer but they are as yet completely
bafIled.
