EASTERN RAILROADS
FREIGHT RATE HEARING
Pennsylvania Company President Be-

Wa Washington,

Washington, Oct. 12.-President
James AlcCrea of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company rendered iliuminat-
ing today's hearing before the inter-
proposed advances in freight rates by
the roads east. of Chicago. He was on
the witness stand all day. and, in the
judgment of the members of the COM
mission, proved an ad1nira BILE witness.
He urged the necessity from the
viewpoint of the railroads, of the pro-
posed Increases in rates on account of
the increased expenses in wages in
Cured by the roads during the last
ten years-a ggregating 35 per cent,
in the case of the Pennsylvania rail-
road-the increased cost of living
which bears upon every operative in
railroad service. great or small, and
the Increased cost of maintenance Of
railway service adequate to the wants
of the American people
In his estinIdIls- he sale ihatsthe re-
suits of the constant increases In the
business of the Pennsylvania railroad
through a long period of years. We're
distributed by reduction in rates or
increases in amounts paid for Wages
and material, or by re-investments in
the property not capitalized. He ex-
pressed the earnest belief that a
Pennsylvania railroad, rendering a
service satisfactory to its patrons, and
deriving, as it did derive in 1909, net
earnings to the amount of only sol
per cent. of the amount actually in
vested in the property was entitled
to fair consideration by the govern
ment and by the people, and he could
not understand how a system of rates
which secured such results could be
regarded as on too high q basis.
The hearing was conducted before
the full commission, Chairman Knapp
presiding, and was attended by rail-
road officials from all parts of the

SURPRISE IN NEW YORK
STATE REPUBLICAN CIRCLES
Resignation of William Barnes, Jr.,
from the State Committee.

New York, Oct. 12.-The resignation
of William Barnes, Jr., the Albany
! "old guard" leader, from the state
committee, was the chief event in re-
publican circles here today. State
Chairman Prentice acknowledged that
the Albany committeeman action was
a surprise, and leaders who visited
state headquarters seemed to feel the
same way.
Henry L. Stimson the nominee for
governor said that he had received no
intimation of Mr.. Barnes purpose.
Immediately on receiving Mr.. Barnes
letter of resignation saying that the
failure to reappoint him on the execu-
tive committee indicated either that
his services were no longer useful or
that he was "faithless" to the repub-
lican ticket, Chairman Prentice issued
a statement contradicting these sug-
gestions. Mr. Prentice said that Mr..
Barnes was not the only former mem
ber of the executive committee who
was not reappointed, for Herbert Par
sons and George w. Aldridge had like
wise been retired.
United States Senator Root, who
reached headquarters soon after Mr..
Barnes resignation was received de-
clined to say what he thought of the
"old guard leaders, step.
No action was taken today regard
ing the selection of Mr.. Barnes sue
cessor on the state committee.
Today Mr.. Stimson delivered his
first strictly political speech before
the students of Columbia university.
From this time on the candidate will
have little rest.
Next week Mr.. Stimson will begin
a two weeks tour of the state.
Mr.. Stimson commented today on
the statement issued last night by AL
ton 3. Parker, attacking Colonel
Roosevelt. Il think Mr. Parlxer's ac-
tive partici ipation in the campaign"
said the candidate, would be very
good thing for the republican party"

of demands for which they have been
agitating for some time.
The effect of the strike on the two
roads mentioned is not yet percepti-
