BROKERS FAVOR
RATE INCREASE
INVESTMENT BROKERS THINK
RATES SHOULD BE INCREASED
BY COMMISSION.
Woud Have Psychological Effect
Upon Foreign Bond Investors, the
Bankers Claim.

Washington. Oct. 21.-Investment
bankers are intervening in behalf Of
the eastern railroads before the Inter
state Commerce Commission, urging
thai She carriers be granted a general
8 Ter cent Increase in freight rates
| because Il the psychological effecl
of "a change IT, the attitude Of the
commission toward the railroads
would Lave on foreign investors In
railroad securities. This was de-
clared today a. the commission s
hearing on the carriers application
| by Lawrence Chamberlain, a New
York banker who spoke for the in
vestmeEt bankers association.
Mr.. Chamntria said he knew
20 al. & aLCut freight rates; his test
mony was devt ted to a detailed dis
cuSsioa OF the railroad bond market.
This question ought TO be settled
not on the Lasis of the railroads and
shippers" he asserted, "but on the
contention of the bankers that the
country leeds saving. Raising rates
is the greatest thing that can be done
to relieve the situation phychologl-
cal3y.
The position OF the witness was in
stant'y challenged by Commissioners
Clements anu Clark.
Us it the general understanding OF
the bankers. asked the former, that
this commission has carte blanche to
do anything t v ants to do to meet a
psychological corcition? We had sup
posed this was Il government of law,
not of the capriCe of a commission. :"
We will not take any other posi-
tion IA any brief we file in this case"
hastily inle1po' ed Morris Rosenthal
clerk fer the Investing bankers. I'VE
make no other contention"
you will If yor follow the lead of
circulars these bankers have been
seading cut, ahsw cred Commissioners
Clark.
Comm ssiontr Clements added that
many such o.tCuiars had gone out
conveying the impression that the
commission only reduced rates. that
one statement OF such a circular, ne
had been informed, was that all the
bankers of the United States were ap-
pealing to congress to compel the
granting of increased rates.
Mr. Rosenthal hastily disclaimed
that any banking house represented
before the commission had sent out
such circulars
Tne entire day was devoted to hear
ing the testimony of bankers. The
cross-examination of Frederick W.
Strauss was concluded, the witness
reciting facts tending to show that
railroad bonds were the standard OF
American securities abroad and that
they were failing in favor because of
increased cost Of importation and tax
alton whicl made the margin of net
operating expenses too small to in
sure their marke; ability MIR. Strauss
| quoted Sir George Parish, the English
financial expert hc.e to discuss inter
national exchange with American of
[ ficials. as authority for his state
ment that English investors found
American railroad securities less at
tractive.

LECTURE.

Mrs. Lulu Loveland Shepard OF
Utah, who delighted a Wauseon audi
ence who gathered to hear her about
two years ago when she spoke at the
court house on Equal Suffrage is to
speak on Temperance and Equal Suf-
frage at the court house on Tuesday
evening, October 27th. All those who
heard Mrs. Shepard when she was in
Wauseon before will be glad to hear
her again and those who have never
heard Mrs. Shepard should improve
this opportunity of hearing one of the
most eloquent speakers on the Ameri-
can platform.
Mrs. Shepard is making an enviable
reputation as a temperance orator.
She was introduced as a citizen of
Utah, having exercised the right of
franchise. The opponent of women's
suffrage would have seer little evil
dence Of the coarsening effect of the
ballot in the hands of women in the
person of the dainty little woman who
arose to address the audience.-Even-

CONVICT LABOR.

c. F. Corbin of Jacksonville ad.
dressed a letter to Ed. Wakefield
President of the o. S. c., asking him
whether it was true that convict lab
or was being employed on public
buildings at Columbus. President
Wakefield, under date of Oct. 7, re-
piled that convicts were being work
ed on State jobs at Columbus-not
only at common labor but in taking
the place of ~plasterers, carpenters,
stone masons and other mechanics.
This was being done, he said, not only
in Columbus, but in other towns. And
President Wakefield went on to say:
knowing of these conditions, l
have along with the committee tried
to have these conditions righted. On
one occasion | went with the commit
tee to Governor Cox in regards to a
mechanical school that we understood
was about to be inaugurated in the
Ohio pe~nitentiary but when we met
with him he absolutely denied that,
and said he did not think there would
be one started, so we left him at that;
but later on we find that they were
doing worse, and that is by bringing
them out of the p~enitentiary and dis
tributing them throughout the city
and county on the different buildings
and taking the place of the men who
are walking the streets in idleness
who absolutely need the work"

OBITUARY.

Gotleib Beck was born in Switzer-
land, October IA. 1926, and departed
this life Sept. 80, 1914, at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. D. ]. King, with
whom he had made his home since the
death of his wife about six years, ago.
Grandpa Beck left this earthly home
at the age of 81 years, IL months and
16 days. He has been enjoying good
health especially this last summer,
although he had long days, and was
patiently waiting for that change to
come. On Tuesday forenoon grandpa
attended the funeral of his great
grandchild and after the funeral was
dismissed he said to one of the minist-
ers, who knows but what, next will be
me that will be laid low. And in about
two hours he took sick and was I'M
conscious until his death, he was sick
only twenty-three hours, then God
called him home, so we can all see how
uncertain our lives are, let US all try
and live such lives, that when the time
comes we are to leave this world that
we may be prepared to go.
There remain to mourn his de-
parture. Two aged brothers, John
Beck of Michigan, age SO and Peter
Beck of Archbold, age SO, 9 children,
6 sons, John, Christ, Samuel, Jacob,
Joel and Henry, 8 daughters, Mrs
Henry Rupp, Mrs. D. J. King and Mrs
Jonas Short. Seventy grandchildren
II great grandchildren and a host of
relatives and friends. Funeral was
held at central Amish Mennonite
church, conducted by Rev. Samuel
Greiser and Eli Frey in english, Dan.
lei Wyse in german, and the remains
were inferred in the Eckly cemetery.
Sad, sad, indeed were the words
That were sent to the friends abroad
Bearing the dire message to them
That father had gone to dwell with
God.
Oh! father and grendpa; how we miss
thee,
In every place and spot,
We can search but will not find
Your sweet and cheerful face.
A loved n is taken from our midst,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which only grandpa could fill.
His kind words and pleasant smiles,
Will u memory ever cherish,
For the love he showed to all
Surely will not, cannot perish.
Oh! Grandpa, just tell Him of your
loved ones below
And ask Him to send his Angels so
near
That we will be led in pathway so
straight,
That when we approach that heaven
ly gate
It's doors will be open and there we
may see
Our dear heavenly Master standing
with thee,
Then all will be joy and a reunion
there'll be
In heaven with God through Eternity.
