RUMOR GIVES ROADS 3 P. G..
Decision on June 20 Predicted
to Protect Stock Markets.

kN Telegraph 20 inc il'uh-.I
Washington, June S-Thc Interstate
Commerce Commission has decided to
hand down its decision on the increased
freight rates demanded by the rail-
roads on June %. according 10 a rumor
coming from an authentic source.
1t is entirely probable the decision
will be handed down on Saturday af-
ter II o'clock. when the decision can
have no effect on the stock markets
here or abroad.
II Is understood the railroads will
not get the fiat = per cent increase
which they demanded, and that the
commission will order increases on GER
tain classes or certain goods and will
exclude other classes or commodities
from the increase
The best opinion is that the net re-
suit to the railroads will be an increase
of about to 3ia per cent.

VERA CRUZ MADE
NEW CITY BY ARM3
Their Benevolent Dcspotism Richard Harding Davis Finds
Has Given the Mexican Port the Most Effective
Physical and Moral Bath in Its History
BY RICHARD HARDING DAVIS.

Vera Cruz. June 81 have paid taxes
TO governments Of several foreign coun-
tries. and my experience Is that the
most desirable form of government is
A benevolent despotism-especially II
you are friend OF the despot.
That Havana is a healthy and beau
tiful city is because General Gorgas
was backed by tho benevolent despot,
General Leonard Wood. That the
Isthmus of Panama Is health resort
instead of a graveyard, and that the
canal is finished are again due to Cen
eral Gorgas and to that other pre-emi
nent despot, General, now Governor
Goethals.
Here in Vera Cruz We are enjoying
the blessings Of despotism. For exam
pie. the other morning the waiter was
a half hour longer than usual In bring
ing my coffee. When 7 asked why. ne
said he had been in Jail. He explained
that he had been slow in serving an
army officer at the next table and the
army officer had called policeman 10
the sidewalk-every one here eats on
the sidewalk-and had locked the
waiter in a cell.
So now when | sit down to breakfast
first beckon a policeman to my table
and then beckon a waiter. II is the
only satisfactory method OF handling
the servant problem. When | get back
to Westchester County, II, after read
ing this, any Of my servants still re-
main I will put all of them In jail.
Funston Benevolent Oespot.
General Funston is the benevolent
despot of Vera Cruz, and the city Is
governed by martial law. Under or
ders from Funston is the provost mar
shall Colonel T.. II. Plummer, or the
2Sth Infantry. Under his orders are

the Mexican police. They are not Gl-
lowed TO arrest men wearing our uni
form. So. also. under Colonel Plummer
are the infantry and naval marines,
who patrol the streets and preserve
the peace between too jovial sailors
and too obstreperous soldiers. How
quickly peace obtains at the mere sight
of a man with a fixed bayonet is a
psychological fact some of those az
Washington should study.
Also under the provost marshal is
the Department OF Public Works, COM
manded by Major Paul Wolf. OF the
4th Infantry. The Department OF
Health Is in the hands of Major T. {.
Lyster and Major Noble, Of the medical
corps. These two departments, though
under separate commanders. are de-
pendent on each other and work in
harmony and TO the public benefit.
Majors Lyster and Noble work in
side houses and Major Wolf outside.
Major Lyster points out unsantary
markets. kitchens and laundries. Major
Wolf sends men TO make them clean.
Lyster says that a field OF weeds is a
breeding place for mosquitoes. Wolf
drains the field and sprinkles pools
and swamps with crude oil.
These officers are picked men and
experts. Major Noble served as right
hand to General Gorgas for five
years in Panama and accompanied him
when, at the invitation of the govern
ment of South Africa, he went there TO
suggest improvements in the care of
natives in the diamond fields. Major
Lyster was five years in charge of he

work of the same sort in the Philip

Mneola, Long Island, June S.-Knox
Morton, the young Baltimore doctor

this morning, when his engine stalled

old ground used by Leo Stevens and
Captain Brown. and adjoining the
Hampstead field. For the first 500 feet
Of his drop he was in command. then
the machine careened and fell with him

the accident, but Morton told a graphic
story of the fall
Morton tried to bring the biplane
safely to the ground. He volplaned
skilfully until within about 800 feet
from earth, when the aircraft by
strange freak scared aloft again for
100 feet before it began TO dip danger
ously.
All this time Morton was still in
control and the machine continued to
respond TO his hand until back TO with
in 900 feet Of the ground. Then it
rocked and pitched and dropped like
a cannon ball Morton was pOWerless
TO prevent the crash. He was only
stunned, but the arrival of an auto
mobile party saved him from death

as the gasolene ignited when the ma
chinery smashed.
He was dragged out and taken to
McLaughlins Hotel here. An hour
later he was on his way to New York.
His parting shout to-day was that he'd
be flying again as soon as he could get
a machine.

First Workout Saturday-Chiefiy Bat

The crack of baseball striking bat was heard for the first time this spring Saturday afternoon at Trinity when over thirty candidates for the Trinity team responded to the call of Coach Burns for the first outdoor practice of the year. Although the diamond on Trinity field is not in condition for use, Capt. Murray led his horsehide ath- letes to the south corner of the field just beyond the gridiron where the brisk drying winds of the past two days have put the field in fair con dition for batting practice. Two or three more days like the past will fix up the entire field in fine shape so that Coach Burns and Captain Murray will be able to get some line on the ability of the infield candidates.
 During the past four weeks the base ball men have been working like beav- CTS in the baseball cage to get in the best of condition for the first outdoor practice and the excellent condition of the men as they stepped up to the i'm provised plate, was very evident. The ed to bring out a large amount of pep field was full of ginger.
 Batting practice was the order for the day. While the first day out is insufficient to get an accurate line on the hitting ability of the men Coach Burns watched every man closely as he stepped up to the plate and took a swing at Captain Murray's offerings. It was not so much yesterday as to how far the ball went into the outf1eld, but the way the men went at it that counted

The Sachems are going to Woonsocllet for a return game early in June. The dia- mond will be leveled in good shape and home plate moved fifteen feet north. This will give the infielders a chance to play deep. Also a new backstop 35 feet long and 10 feet high will be added to the improvements. The management has begun to book games with the following teams: Nor wich State Hospital, Emeralds of Will limantic, Rovers of MiddIetown, Rock villes, South Manchesters, Royals of Hartford, Fort Wright, Fort Terry White Rocks, Stoningtons and New London, which will give the people of Norwich some first class baseball this season.
