A "MERELY TO LIVE REQUEST.
Missouri Pacific Says All Rates Posi-
BILE Will Be Advanced.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-That sit is the
policy of the Missouri Pacific railway
to advance all rates that can be ad-
vanced" in addition to the proposed in
creases in commodity rates now under
investigation by the interstate COM
merce commission is announced
frankly in the brief filed with the COM
mission in the western rate case by
James c. Jeffrey, interstate commerce
attorney for the road.
''It is our contention he says, that
in order to exist it is absolutely neces-
sary to have not only the slight reve-
nue. ($94,000) involved in the present
proceeding but there must be large in
creases in the rates on all classes and
commodities hauled by that company.
This necessity arises from the single
fact that the increased cost of opera
ton (due principally to enormous in
creases in wages to various classes of
organized labor) is outstripping by
leaps and bounds the increase in gross
earnings.
I'VE believe there can be no dissent
to the legal proposition that a COM
mon carrier is entitled to a fair re-
turn on the value of the property de-
voted to transportation purposes, and
therefore we direct ourselves in this
brief to the broad question Of fact as
to whether, upon the evidence intro
duced by this company, it is rot con-
clusively shown that there is need for
an advance in rates sufficient to allow
the reasonable return upon the value
of the property to which it is legally
entitled, but not now receiving.

"While betrayal Of any position of

Cumberland Md. Jan. 14-The
mystery surrounding the death of

couple were apparently in the best

Tor of the girls home cannot be ac-
counted for from any of the usual mo-
tives of crime. Whether it was a
double suicide. double murder or sui

mined. Jealousy may have entered
into the matter, although suspicion
points to the supposition that the girl,
on the very eve of her wedding to
Twigg, administered poison to him
and then to herself. and died with her
face turned smilingly to his, but with
her mind on another man-her former

LOWER RATES ON MOUSE TRAPS
Railroads Will Make Tt Cheaper tt
Kill OF Pests.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Rat and mouse
traps probably will be sold at a re-
duced price in the near future as a
suit of the action of railroads through
out the territory north of the Ohio and
east of the Mississippi rivers, in reduc-
ing the cost of transporting them.
Among nearly two score of changes in
the classification of various articles of
merchandise traps for the killing of
mice and rats have been shifted from
their old place to new class, which
admits of lower rate for carrying
them. The changes in classification
made by the various railroads include
fourteen advances and twenty-five re-
auctions. The advances affect shelled
corn, oats, rye and wheat, not other
wise specified in, published rates;
range boilers and soda water cylinders.
The reductions affect such commodi-
ties as asphaltums, cement roofing,
certain varieties of desks and tacks,
freless cookers and automobile engine
hoods.
Some time ago a plea was made on
behalf of a number of shippers to the
interstate commerce commission to
prevent these changes being made, but
the commission declined to interfere.

RAISES TAXES AND HADEs.
These Are Two Things Which Are
Raised on Railroads. Is Said.

These Are Two Things Which Are
Raised on Railroads., Is Said.
Chicago, Jan. 14.-Some new
angles to the newest railroad question
of the day-that of efficiency-are
furnished by Cy Warman, whose views
are epitomized in the statement that
'only two things may be raised on a
railroad-taxes and hades." Speaking
of recent testimony before the COM
merce commission Mr.. Warman says:
"Mr. BrandeiS can we'll afford to
deal in these vague generaHtieS be-
cause he does not have to make good.
He makes no reference to the fact
that wages have gone up % per cent
in the last ten years. while the price
of transportation, which these work
men helped to produce, has rather
gone down than up.
1.-THE man charged with saving ST.
100000 a day could dismiss all the
freight and passenger solicitors. let
ting each line take what came to it.;
he could cut off half the sleeping cars
on the through lines which are now
operated on less than half their ca
pacity. He could pitch tents instead
of building expensive stations. He
could slow the express trains from 60
to 40 miles an hour, thereby saving
half the fuel and the energy. Run
ming all the railways, man might
compel the live stock shippers to pay
to the railways mileage instead of col
lecting mileage from the railways. But
in the long run this saving of $1,000
900 a day would be taken out of the
travelling and shipping public. It is
the keen competition between Ameri-
can lines that makes travel swifter and
cheaper than most other countries,
that moves freight cheaper per ton
mile than it moved elsewhere, and at
the same time our railways pay better
wages than do the railways Of any
other country
