swlNpLERs OF MEAN TYPE.

London Produces Horde Of Petty
Crooks-Prey on Soldiers Families
Correspondence of American Press)
London, Oct. 12.--London has pro-
duced the meanest crowd of swindlers
on record since the English troops got
into the fighting line in France.
Every day the London papers are
filed with appeals from the wives,
seeking information as to their fate.
Hundreds of officers are not accounted
for who are not known to be dead.
Swindlers have taken advantage of
the women distracted by failure to get
news of their relatives and are con-
stantly preying on them.
The mother of young officer who
has not been heard from since the
battle of Mons was recently APP
preached by swindler who repre-
sented himself as a valet and said he
had seen the missing officer in Brus-
sells and expected to return there the
next day. The swindler was short of
cash thru the failure to get remittance
and asked for money which he would
promptly return upon his arrival at
Brussels. The money was supplied
and letters to the missing son We're en-
trusted to the sympathetic courier who
never was heard of again.
These men have even represented
that they saw wounded officers in cer-
tain hospitals. near the fishting zone
and have delivered fictitious requests
for funds to supply delicacies to the
injured.

BASE DEMAND ON WAR
European Conflict Charged With
Bringing About Conditions Which
Make Freight Rate Increase lmpera-
tive-Bankers Conclude Pleas in Be-
half Of Roads.

Washington, Oct 21.-Cross exami-
nation of John T., Oldham. who spoke
for the Investment Bankers Associa-
ton at the interstate commerce COM
MISSIONS hearing today on the apph-
cation of eastern roads for higher
freight rates, developed that the rate or
interest on fixed charged had dropped
to an average of 4.44 in 1913 from an
average of Asa, the ten year average.
In examination of figures presented
by Mr.. Oldham, Louis O. Brandeis. the
commissions counsel, drew the con-
clusion that the amount of capital re-
quired by the road to earn dollar ON
years operation had decreased in
1913. Mr. oldham insisted, however.
that the falling interest charge did not
indicate the roads had borrowed money
at a lower rate.
Under examination by Clifford
Thorne, it was developed that the de-
cline in net income of the railroads
had been fractional and that the roads
had been maintained at q higher level
during 1919 than during previous years.
Mr.. Oldham agreed that would seem
to indicate the roads We're making
larger net revenues. He contended,
however, that they should have the
increase without delay. lie said that
while bankers were in complete accord
with the previous rate decision, that
by careful management and certain
reforms the roads could increase their
revenue. the European war had
brought about dire conditions which
made it dangerous to wait the WORKING
out of such reforms.
When Mr.. Oldham left the stand 1t
was announced that the bankers had
finished offering testimony.

Colorado Governor Says State Militia
Not Being Organized for Strike Duty.


Washington, Oct. ga protest from
officers of the United Mine Workers of
America against the proposed intention
of Governor Ammons to send the nation
al guards into the Colorado strike zone
was received today by President Will
son.
Governor Ammons. replying today to
Secretary Garrison's previous inquiry
about reports that the guard was being
reorganized to take the place of federal
troops said that a cavalry rifle team
returning from rife competition prob
ably gave rise to the story.
Governor Ammons added that q
Company of infantry recently has been
accepted from Las Animas county and
assigned to the Second infantry OF the
national guard and another probably
will be accepted from Huerfano county
and assigned to the Second infantry.
They will be equipped as all other ma
tional guard soldiers. Regular instruc-
tions have been conducted for several
years past for members of the guard in
Las Animas and Huerfano counties as
in al other parts of the state
There Is no other Significance to the
story, Governor Ammons reported.

the commissions hearing en- the re-
newed application OF the eastern rail-
roads. Stress on the psychological as
pect OF the situation was laid by
Lawrence Chamberlain, a New York

bankers association.
Mr.. Chamberlain said he knew
nothing about freight rates. his tes-
timony was devoted To detailed discus-
sion Of the railway bond market.
This question ought to be set
tied not on the basis OF the railroads
and shippers" he asserted. but on the
contention of the bankers that the
country needs saving, Raising rates

to relieve the situation psychologi-

DID NOT ALLOW REBATES
Counsel For United States steeI Cor
poration Declares Practice Was New
er Permitted-Warned Railroads
Against Giving Rebates to Repre-
sentatives.

Philadelphia, Oct 22-Resuming his
argument for the defense today in the
federal suit to dissolve the United
States Steel Corporation on the ground
that it violates the antitrust law,
Richard d. Lindabury, in the United
States district court continued to de-
scribe the conduct of the corporation
after its organization. He denied earn
ings of the corporation were excessive
and said they were quite ordinary.
Counsel told the court that the
record in the case does not show a
single instance of rebates having been
asked or received by the concern or
by any of its subsidiaries. In 1905,
he said, the finance committee. fearing
that some OF it's .subordinates might
resort to rebates sent letter to the
presidents of most of the railroads

ness warning them against giving re-
bates to any representative of the or
ganization. No competitor anywhere
has charged the corporation with un-
fair selling, he said.
The corporation has not attempted
to coerce consumers or dealers to trad
ing with it exclusively, he asserted nor
has it otherwise restricted their free
dom of action.
Mr.. Lindabury said the steel cor
poration was not monopoly and that
in its treatment of it's employees .it
leads the world"
He gave figures to show that since
the formation of the corporation the
wages of its employees have been in
creased on an average of 2S5 per cent
and that in 1908 it's employees numbered
221,O25 with total yearly pay roll of
$1S9,351 ,602 In 1913 the average yearly
wage was about 1920. The corporations s
method for compensation for injured
employees antedated the statutes of any
state on that subject and is now a
model for all of them.

Rockefeller were bound for Danish

been under American registry.

and is awaiting developments at Halt

1t has been reported that the validity
of the transfer was to be called into
question, but it is now intimated that
the charge will be that it's cargo OF
oil was eventually to reach German or
Turkish points.
In the case of the John D. Rookie
feller-as there is no question regard
ing its ownership and registry-the
state department today instructed Am
bassador Page at London to state to
the British government that it has
never been anything but an American
vessel and to request it's immediate re-

wIND-uP OF CONGRESS
Agreement Reached For Adjournment
at Days Close - Conference Repor.
Eliminating Increase Of War Tax on
Beer and Whisky Approved by
Aouae


Washington, Oct 22.-Adjournment
of congress at o'clock tonight was
arranged by administration leaders of
both houses today and a formal res
olution to that effect was prepared.
There were some rumbling of filibus-
ter by southern members who want
legislation to relieve the cotton stu
alton but democratic leaders seemed
sure Of their plan.
When the house met at 10 o'clock it
began killing time by reading the jour-
nal in full while awaiting the report
of the conference on disputed points
in the war revenue bill. The senate
was ready to follow action of the
house. Seemingly the adjournment was
assured.
BY rising vote of 156 to 50 the
house adopted the conference report
on the war revenue bill after but one
hours debate. Reduction of the senate
tax on beer and elimination of the 3
cents a gallon tax on rectified spirits
had removed practically all opposition.
The final test was by a strict party
vote. The conference restored the
house provision that the new taxes
should go into effect the day after the
passage Of the bill.
After the conference report had gone
to the senate Representative Henry, of
Texas. began mild tilibuster and Sc
cured consent to talee up the cotton
bill.
The congressman produced letter
from the president expressing the hope
that the bill would be passed.
