Employers of Labor Attempt
to Prove Waste By
Roads.
WITNESSES OUTLINE
PROPOSED CHANGES
Michigan Manufacturers Deny Be
ing Favorable to the Suggested
Increases.

Expert testimony from a half dozen
employers Of labor was presented TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission this
morning by Attorney Louis D Brandeis
to show that the general freight rate
advanced proposed by the railroads
would be unnecessary II the carriers
would introduce scientific management,
thereby preventing the alleged waste
and extravaganza IN the present rail-
way operation
This was a part Of the general at
tack which the shippers are making
against the proposed increase in freight
rates in the classification territory
Later in the week an attempt VIII be
made to show that the carriers. as a
rUIe. do not need the additional revenue.
but that they are able to provide funds
for the higher wage scale and meet
their sther obligations at the same time
Today-s testimony. however, was de-
voted entirely to the economies possible
under the new methods OF handling
labor. Frank b GiIbreath. a contractor
of New York, told the commission how
he had saved money ia his business by
conserving the energy and strength Of
his men. He graphically detailed TO the
proved brickIayinE, using the books on
the commissioners bench as bricks

new methods IN his shop and had found

the practical employers Of labor.
Mr. Kent said that he had had an op-
portunftv 10 observe the working effect
Of the plan in its application 20 rail-
road operation He said that he had
visited the Angus shops OF the Cana
dian Pacific railroad at Montreal and

WORLDWIDE HUNT
FOR SUSPECT LEWIS
Man Wanted for Trunk Muir
der In Germany Two
Years Ago.

NEW YORK. Nov. 23--An interna-
tionaI search viii be started for William
Lewis, the waiter-suspect in the trunk
murder mystery, as the result Of in
formation which has reached the police
that he was seen Two years ago work
ing as a waiter in a hotel in Germany.
Evidence reached tie police today
leading them to believe that Albert Cal
Ier, the artist victim in the trunk mys-
terry, had been slain by Lewis in a
quarrel over the affections Of a young
woman
According 10 the police, this woman
was 4 sister OF Mrs Philip MeagheTTn. in
y hose home, at $50 West Fifty-fOurth
street. the body was found in the trunk
where IL had lain for years.
Mrs. Julia Alexander, at whose home
Lewis lived from 1888 until the fall Of
1902, told the authorities that Lewis and
Caller had frequent CuaTTelS. Once.
she said, she found them pummeling
each other When chey were separated
neither would say word about the
sight-
That Caller might have been slain
FOR money was another theory advanced
IN June, 1902, shortly before he disao-
peared, the artist received $1,000 from
his brother in Africa.

DIPLOMATS PLAN
AN ORGANIZATION
Pan-American Society Being
Formed, Announces
John Barrett.

John Barrett, Director OF the Pan
American Union, announced today in
the Novem Der number of tie Bulletin
issued by his bureau. that an oFgauf-
cation 10. be known as the Pan
American Society OF the United States
Is being organized by prominent dip
iomats In the United States and South
America The society will have head
quarters in New York city.
The need OF having an orEauiza-
ton OF this kind 10 show courtesies
to representative Latin Americans
who may be visiting the United States
is apparent" SAYS Mr. Barrett
When last summer It seemed prob
able that this country would ne hon
ored by visits from Marshall Hermes
De Foaesca. Presfdent-eIect of Brazil
and DR. Rogue Saenz Pena. president
elect Of Argentina, the lack OF a So
city Of this kind to show them hos
pitality on their arrival IN New York
impressed itself upon all those who
are Interested in bringing about c-oser
relations between the United states
aid her sister republics.
ct is now proposed therefore that
there be organized. with headquarters
in New York city. the Pan-American
society Of the United States. whose
object shall be, to paraphrase the pur-
pose Of the pil grims. the promotion
OF the sentiment OF brotherEo od'
among American nations and espe-
Cially the cultivation Of good fellow
ship between citizens Of the United
States and those Of its sister Ameri-
can republics
1T has been suggested that all men
interested in bringing about a better
acquaintance among the PEOPLES OF
Pan America should be invited 10 Join
and that its honorary members should
include the presidents OF the Ameri-
can republics and the ambassadors
and ministers Of Latin American cOun-
tries in che United States"
Mr. Barrett also suggests that Sena-
tor Elihu Root Of New York IS the
logical man TO serve as the first presi-
dent Of the new society, because OF
his keen interest in the development
