THREATEN TO UNLOAD
English Stockholders Interested in
Outcome of Freight Rate Case
Statements of British Financial Ex-
pert Presented to Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Washington. Oct. 21.--Statements of
Sir George Paish. the English financial
expert. here to discuss with treasury
officials questions OF foreign ex-
changes arising from the European
war, were laid before the interstate
commerce commission today. in spite
of the plea of eastern railroads for a
general increase in freight rates.
Frederick Strauss, a New York bank
er testified Sir George had told him
today he was anxious that American
railroad securities held in England
should not be thrown on the market.
Mr. Strauss urged that railroad se-
curities must be paid by greater earn
ings for the road if they were to be
made so desirable to European in
vestors that they would not be un-
loaded when the stock exchanges were
reopened
Commissioner Clements. who pre-
sided today, associated with Commits
sioners Clark and Meyers, asked tho
banker If he believed the shipper
should be compelled to guarantees all
railroad securities by paying higher
freight rates altho it had been shown
many securities were issued for pur-
poses of negotiation without regard
ing the welfare of the property.

cRAzeo PRIEST STAYS
Rev. J. j. Mullen, Of Chicago, Goes In
sane, Kills Station Agent and Ter
rorizes Passengers on Train-7Iow
on Head During Row in Saloon
Cause of Insanity.

Chicago, Oct. 2l.-Rev. J. j. Mullen,
a Roman Catholic priest. who ran
amuck. in the suburb of Hillside last
night stabbing to death Thomas w.
Patterson, station agent, stepping an
express train and terrifying the pas
sengers before he was Cverpowered
and placed in Jail, is said by his
friends today to have been rendered in
sane temporarily at least by u blow on
the head.
Mullen recently was ordered to go
to Rome. He was enjoying a rest be-
fore his departure and yesterday with
Felix Scomini, friend. took an auto
mobile ride, which eventually landed
them in Hillside.
At saloon there Scomni said the
priest became involved in quarrel
over the European war and left the
place. He was cranking up his ma
chine, he added, when some one ran
from the saloon and hit Mullen on the
head
His erratic movements began at that
moment. He ran to the station flou-
rishing his knife and when Patterson
came out, Mullen drove the knife into
his heart. The railroad train ordi-
narily does not stop at Hillside. but the
engineer put on the brakes when he
saw the priest on the track. Mullen
threw away his knife when he entered
the train but is said to have assaulted
some of the passengers.
In the Jail Mullen fell into dazed
and fitfull dose. His hair was matted
with blood from the wound on his
head.

Their coming was heralded too late
for the defnders, who were bayoneted
in the trenches and beyond the trenches
as they ran. Four hundred German
prisoners were taken.
Mine Kills Many Germans.
One of the places where the French
had been most harassed is nearer the
elbow of the western line. The import
ant position there had been taken and
retaken frequently during the last three
weeks. Every time the Germans had
been obliged to abandon the position
they returned in greater force and
pushed the French by weight OF num-
bers.
The French took the position for the
twelfth time and held 1t ten hours.
Then came a shock of the human bat
tering ram. and the French gradually
gave way. The Germans began forti-
flying the place. but while they were
engaged in this task the earth heaved
and there was deafening explosion.
The ten hours the French had held
the point had been sufficient to mine
every rod of the ground. 1t is estimat-
ed that three German batallions-3,000
men-were annihilated.
Canal an Aid to Germans.
The strength of the German posi-
tions north of Roye which Facilitated
their movements toward Lille, is ex-
planned by the fact that they were oc-
cupying the unfinished canal extend
ing as far as Roisel. The Germans
found in the deep. broad cutting mag
nificent intrenchments. in which they
had only to install batteries Of artillery.
Officers of the allies say they have
noted that only about 40 per cent Of
the shells from these guns explode.
They also say that the prodigality of
the fire from them apparently has de-
pleted the Germans supply of ammun-
ition, as the intensity OF the fire lately
has diminished. = : r =
The French artillerynen are SO care
fnl in getting their ranges that they
waste few shells. In an artillery duel
near Armentieres the Germans fired
for half day into thickets- that had
been abandoned some time before.
When the French 3linch guns got the
range twelve shells from them silenced
the German battery.

U. S. Protests
Ship Seizures
By British

Washington, Oct. al.-The United
States has protested to Great Britain
against the seizure by a British warship
of the American tank steamer John D..
Rockefeller This was announced to-
day by Acting Secretary Lansing, Of
the state department.
AS the Rockefeller was American
owned and few the American flag and
no change of registry was involved. the
American government considered the
seizure Tunwarranted. She had an
America crew. The ship was bound
from Philadelphia for Copenhagen. and
carried illuminating oil, which Secre-
airy Lansing said had not been classed
as contraband in any notification re-
ceived from Great Britain. The vessel
was taken to the Orkney Islands.
Mr.. Lansing said that no representa-
tions or protest had been made in the
case of the steamer Brindilla, taken re-
Gently to Halifax, and that he was
awaiting further Information as to the
character of her cargo and the condi-
tions under which she was seized. The
protest was made to the British govern
ment thru Ambassador Page at London,
who was instructed to ask for the i'm
mediate release Of the Rockefeller. AS
the cargo of the Brindilla was the same
as the Rockefeller, it was taken to fore
shadow another protest and demand for
release unless some change in the Brin-
dilla's registry not yet developed comes

Washington, Oct. 21-The Mexican
national convention at Aguascalientes

Paris, Oct 21.-The outcome OF the
battle in the north, according to judg-
ment of observers in Paris, still re-
NAMED undecided this morning. The
furious contest in this part OF Belgium
and France is regarded here as now
having reached it's height. The Ger
mans who at first apparently yielded to
the offensive of the allies, are now
forcing to the maximum the lines OF
the, French and the English. In this
they have been assisted by troops from
Antwerp and all the other German
forces available in Belgium.
The allies, however, apparently are
fighting with the greatest ardor and
determination to take the important
city of Lille, in spite Of the extraordi-
nary resistance Of the enemy.
Attacks and Counter Attacks.
The attacks Of the allies, which have
been accompanied by progress. nave
been followed always by spirited coun-
ter attacks on the part OF the Germans,
who. in the opinion of the French, are
fighting to the limit of their energy
Around Lille. where the fighting has
been from house to house, the opera
tions are difficult and progress has been
slow. especially in the face OF ihe
barbed wire fences put up by the Ger
mans.
Those barbed wire distractions have
proved serious obstacle to the allies
advance. and many means OF sur
mounting have been considered. 1t is
realized here that 1t may be necessary
to make sacrifices to this end. and ii
has been suggested that the men Sc
lected for the task be armed with
bucklers such as were used success
fully in attacking the notorious auto
mobile bandits in Paris in their refuge
in the suburbs of the city.
All Attacks Rspulssd.
The French official communication
given out this afternoon, says that tnt
enemys attacks yesterday OH Nieu-
port, DiXmunde and Labassee ali yere

The text of the communication fol-
lows:
During the day of yesterday the
attacks of the enemy were particular
ly violent at Nieuport, Dixmunde and
Labassee.

lied armies with great energy.
