Rail HEADS DELAY
ACTION TILL FEB. |.
Agreement Is Reached With Inter-
state Commerce Commission On
Proposed Increase in Rates.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1s--It was
announced by the interstate commerce
commission today that railroads In
oficial classification territory, includ-
Ing western trunk lines, and trans
Missouri and Illinois freight terri
tories, At the request of the commits
sion have again agreed to suspend
their proposed general increase In
rates until Feb. 1, 1911.
The action OF the railroads was due
TO their recognition OF the fact that the
Importance OF the issues and the vol
ume OF evidence presented made 1t
absolutely impossible for the commits
sion TO decide the cases on Nov. |.
the date on which the new tariffs
were TO become effective.
To further suspension until Febru-
airy followed conference between
railroad officials and the commission
and was declared To be In the inter
ests OF the general shipping public. as
much confusion would thus be avoided
statement OF the heavy financial
burden carried by railroads, thnt
makes an increase In rates necessary,
was made by Daniel Willard, presi-
dent OF the Baltimore Il Ohio. TO the
commerce commission.
He said that his company had TO
raise $4,000. 900 this year to pay for
equipment ordered and improvements.
In the fiscal year ended June 80,
1910. willard said, the company paid
q per cent dividend on the first pre-
ferred stock; 6 per cent on common;
devoted $1,500.000 to betterment and
$4.315,000 to a surplus fund.
In the last three months OF the year,
the company paid higher wages, in
terest and taxes. II those increases
had been spread over, the entire year.
he asserted. the total increase In ex-
penses would have been $4.445,000
and nothing could have been paid into
the surplus.
During the first three months of
this year, the earnings were $1,000
900 more than for the same period last
year, but the increased expenses ex-
ceeded that amount by 100000.

New rules which require street cars
to stop on the far side of all streets
except those where other lines cross
were put into effect by the Virginia
Railway and Power Company yester-
day, and while some confusion was
caused, conductors and motormen re-
ported last night that the public had
learned quickly. The change is really
made in order that the service may
be improved, which means that a pas
I.senger can reachA his destination in
less time when everything is working
smoothly.
Heretofore there has been no reg
ular system. a Main Street car going
west, for instance, had to stop on
the near side of Eighth, where line
branches to the right. Either q
switch had to be changed or else the
motorman was required to watch for
Broad and Main or a Laurel Street
car, running south, so as to avoid a
crash After he had turned on his
motor he would be stopped at the far
side Of the same street to pick up or
let off Messengers. BY that arrange-
ment much time was lost, this being
responsible in large measure for tho
slow progress westward, especially
around o'clock In the afternoon.
Under the now rules the Main Street
car will stop lust before crossing
Eighth Street, as heretofore, although
1t will not stop Just after crossing to
the far side. Tho same principle ap-
plies to all streets where another line
crosses. but where there is no cross
over, as at Main and Tenth, for IN
stance tho car stops on the far side.
While II was announced that this
plan would be given n fair trial the
chances are that 1t will stand. and right
here it is necessary for the public to
understand IT. 1T got a hard trial
yesterday. Main Street car, going
east, stopped regularly on the west
side of Seventh. Itdid not stop on the
cast. or far side. and 1t had to wait
while the motorman screamed to the
people to coEae on over. A few res
