Washington, May 15.-Urging an in
crease of > per cent in freight rates on
eastern railroads, representatives. Of
hfty-two com panies are here to pre-
sent their claims 10 the interstate COM
merce commission. The announcement
that such application for a general in
crease in that part Of the country lying
east Of the Mississippi and north O;
the Ohio rivers would be made was
given out by Daniel Willard, president
Of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. He
yook leading part in preparing the
application. If It should be found by
the commission that there is prina
facie reason for a consideration OF the
application it is likely an order for an
inquiry may be issued. If the COM
mission should conclude to hold pub
lie hearings upon the application the
probability is that the proceedings
would not be held before next autumn,
IS the commission now has before II
more business than it possibly can dis
pose Of before the summer recess.

"Aeropetomanie.n

Some months ago learned profess
sor at the Sorbonne wrote to the Paris
ian papers proposing that the word
"petomane" be used as term to des-
ignate the aviator. the word petomane
being based, he explained. on the
Greek root pet" to fly. Another
learned person says that the word
hanks back to the earliest days Of aer-
ostation. and quotes from Der
Deutsche Merkur (the German Mer-
cury), published by Wieland at Wei
mar, IN October, 1888, which speaks
of "Aeropetomanie," or the latest pro
gress in flying.
