Plea by Railroad Men Be-
fore the Interstate Com
merce Commission
INQUIRY ON A
GENERAL INCREASE
Cost of Living Much Higher
for the Rail-
roads

Washington, Nov. 25.-That the rail
roads of the country have felt the bur
den of the increased cost of living, like
all other enterprises or individuals, "bu'
unlike all others have not been permit
| ted so far to raise their prices or ad
just their charges in recognition of that
burden" was the declaration of DAME
Willard, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, arguing yesterday before
the interstate commerce commission foi
authority to increase freight rates APP
proximately five per cent in the territory
east of the Mississippi and north Of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
Referring to the refusal of the com
mission in 1910 to grant 10 per cent
increase and the promise to re-investi-
gate the rate question in the future
should conditions warrant it, Mr. Will
lard asserted that operation of the rail
roads during the last three years was
not such as to inspire confidence OF
private capital or encourage the sup
port of private enterprise.
1T is respectfully submitted" he con-
tinued, shat there is at this time, no
more important question before the peo-
pie. nor one the correct solution of
which will do more to stimulate healthy
commercial activity and promote indus
trial growth.
at is mistake to think that the
problem is merely a question Of diyi-
bends to railroad stockholders, although
that feature is, of course, involved. The
problem in broad and true sense af-
fects all interests, and the outcome OF
this particular case-whichever way it is
deeided-will mark an epoch. because
it will in effect very largely determine
whether we shall, as in the past, con-
tinue to look to private capital and pri-
vate enterprise for our transportation
requirements, or to be compelled finally
to accept The only alternative possible. =
Arguments on behalf of the Central
Freight association lines, which take in
lines from Buffalo and Pittsburg west
90 St Louis. were presented by Frederic
\. Delano2of Chicago, president OF the
Wabash railway.
"The evidence" said Mr.. Delano. "will
show that the lines in Central Freight
association territory are confronted With
the expenditure in the near future Of
millions of dollars in the separation of
grades in various cities on which they
will receive no adequate return and
many Of the lines have not the credit
TO raise this money.
"A five per cent increase in rates win
not be adequate to meet the demand of
the territory. The interests OF the PEG.
pie of that rapidly growing and develop
ing section of the country, to say moth
ing of the carriers. require in the near
future readjustment Of the rates, both
freight and passenger, TO basis which
win enable that territory to have good
roads and the people to have sufficient
and adequate service and to progress
measureaby with the ether sections of
the country

BISHOPS SCORE CARNEGIE.
Plan To Secularize Colleges Is Called
"Crime Against Civilization"

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 25.--Bishop War
rem Gambler of the southern Methodist
church and Bishop Allison Knight of the
Episcopal church denounce Andrew Car
negie and his associates for attempt
ing" to secularize the church colleges OF
the United States.
"The skilfully devised scheme of Mr.
Carnegie and those who act with him
to secularize education in the United
States is something worse than a blum.
der" said Bishop Gambler. at is crime
against civilization, or it would be if
the effort could be successful; but it is
absolutely certain that the efforts of
these gentlemen will never succeed. Car
negie will find he cannot bride religion
out of the church colleges; moreover,
the schools of the churches are going
to be more pronouncedly religious than
ever in their history. The antics of a
few pert professors who talk of broad
ness and liberalism will be stopped"
Bishop Knights sermon was on the
same lines, and he bitterly criticised
Trinity, Hobart and other Episcopal col
leges which have accepted Carnegie's
money.

SEEK WANAMAKER
IN CUSTOM FRAUD
Father Makes Four-Hour Explanation
of the Cases Settled for
100000.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Rodman Wanna
maker, son of John Wanamaker, wealthy
New York and Philadelphia merchant,
is being sought in the customs fraud
case which the Democratic administra-
tion recently opened, according to au-
thoritative reports yesterday at the de-
partment of justice.
John Wanamaker, it was learned yes
terday, made four-hour explanation
Saturday in an effort to show that there
was no personal guilt" in the cases
which he settled for 100000 in the clos
ing days of the Taft administration.
His son is now believed to be in Paris
and department officials think they could
CLEAN valuable information from him if
he could be located.
While believing that in reopening the
case it has found strong circumstantiai
evidence, the government admitted there
are few if any witnesses who can back
up it's claims. Evidence has come to
light showing that dutiable goods were
packed in cases of samples which, under
the law, were admitted free at Phil
adelphia.
The appraisers passed these goods
without making personal inspections and
relied upon the statements of the COM
pany's representatives because of their
reputation.
The attorney general admitted yester-
day that the case might be one merely
of book keeping and he declared that he
did not care offhand to condemn a man
without more thorough investigation.
John Wanamaker's extensive explana-
ton of transactions covering Is years
was part of the attorney generals plans
for getting the fullest possible explana-
ton before proceeding further with a
possible criminal prosecution.

STICKS TO STORY
SHE SLEW FIELD
Mrs. Vera Scott on the Verge of Col
lapse From Questioning BY
Police.

Los Angeles, CAL, Nov. 25.-As the
result of the long questioning she has
undergone since she told the police and
newspapermen Saturday that she had
shot and killed Marshall Field, jr., in
Chicago several years ago, Mrs. Vera
Scott, formerly Mrs. Vera Prosser, is
on the verge of collapse. Sedatives were
given her by the police surgeons.
The detectives who have questioned
her are admittedly puzzled. Although
she has constantly contradicted herself
regarding details of her story, she has
stuck to the essential assertion that she
slew Field during quarrel in notori-
ous resort in Chicago.
She is held under a charge of vagran-
cy. The details of her story have been
telegraphed to the Chicago police, who
have made no reply as yet.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Several more
DAYS of moderate weather with sunshine

PRIESTS RISK LIVES
IN CHURCH FIRE
Carry Out Sacred Vessels While 600
of the Faithful Pray in the
Street.

New York, Nov. 25.-While 600 faith
ful knelt in the emberstrewn street,
praying for theirsafety, five priests, one
OF whom had just risen from sick
bed, braved flame and smoke early yes
terday to rescue the sacred vessels
locked in the tabernacle in st. Mary's
Star of the Sea Roman Catholic church.
A great shout of joy went up as the
quintet, their sassocks and faces eharred
by the heat and flames, staggered out
Of the burning building with the sacred
symbols held high above their heads.
Heading the priests was Mgr. O'Con-
nell, so years old, who for two years
has been confined to his bed. The sight
of the flames whirling above the church
sent him from his ROOM tottering with
weakness, to lead the rescue.
The fire damaged the church to the
extent of $4,000.
