RUSHING BUSINESS
DONE IN LICENSES
Maryland Automobile Per-
mits Bought BY Eager
Crowd Today.
"Oh. vniI victim" |"

"Oh, you victim"
II you had this epithet hurled at you
today It's long shot that you called at
the office of lie Roy Mark. in the Colo
rado building, between the hours of Il
and 1.
Mr.. Mark disposes Of automobile Ii
censes for the State of Maryland. Fol-
lowing the wholesale arrests of autoists
in Rockville, Md, yesterday, who were
WITHOUT licenses, Mr.. Marks office to-
day did the biggest days business in its
history. 1t required the services Of Cy
Cummins and two office girls to wait
on the applicants
AS early as 8 o'clock several appH-
cants were on hand. Licenses, however,
are only sold between II and ! o'clock,
which resulted in about fifty persons
being present when the Office opened
Several women were in the crowd.
"My," said one, who arrived breath
less and late, Just to think that we
motored within half a mile Of Rock
VILE yesterday, and without a license"
The amounts paid over ranged from
s6 to S18, determined by the size Of the
car. SO rapidly were the licenses is
sued that Mr.. Mark would not give an
estimate this afternoon of the probable
amount secured.
Printed copies of the Maryland law
relating TO automobiles were to be had
in Mr.. Marks office. Every caller this
morning took one. Several asked for
two.

FIGHT ON INCREASED
FREIGHT RATE BEGUN
Most Notable Case Ever
Fought Before Com
mission Opens.

The most notable battle ever fought
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission began today, when a score or
more Of attorneys, representing the
railroads and the people, opened argu-
ments for and against the recent in
crease in freight rates on practically all
the necessities of life.
The people demanded relief, declaring
the rates now effective to be exorbitant.
They charged that they were practically
being made the victims of extortion in
order that railroad stockholders might
receive swollen dividends. Long tables
OF comparative statistics were produced
to show that railroad earnings were
millions OF dollars in excess of their ex-
penditures.
1t was declared that the earnings
could be still further reduced by ''scien-
tific management" q system especially
advocated by Attorney Louis d. Bran
deis, representing the shippers.
Railroad attorneys denied every con-
tention of the people. They declared
past rate advances to have been neces-
sary in order to meet wage increases,
augmented operating expenses, and
road improvements. They argued that
their clients should be allowed to in
crease rates still further, declaring that
every advance would be offset by i'm
provements in service. Finally, they
denied that their clients were greedy,
declaring that thev wanted only a rea-
s0nable profit. which, without rate in
Creases, would he impossible to attain.
Hundreds OF thousands Of shippers To-
Gated between Maine and Florida, and
the Atlantic ocean and the Missouri
river, will be directly affected by the
decision Of the commission. Indirectly
the coast is vitally interested. If 1t is
held that the Increases have been un-
tustifiable, the people will save millions
OF dollars annually. If, on the other
hand, the contention of the railroads is
horne out, 1t is admitted that still fur
ther rate advances may follow.
