BRYAN AWAITS REPORT
ON DETENTION OF ship.
State Department Expects Message To
day from U. S. Ambassadofto
Brazil Explaining Details.
CASE NOT BELIEVED SERIOUS

State Department ofiicIals expect to re-
ceiye today a report from Ambassador
Morgan. at Rio Janelro, on the case OF
the steamship Robert Dollar. reported
detained there by the Brazilian port au-
thorities because Of the vessels transfer
from British TO American registry.
Thus far. according TO State Depart
ment officials, no information on the case
has been received officially, the only facts
at hand about the case having been fur
nished by the Robert Dollar Steamship
Company OF California
The first report received from the
steamship company stated that the Brit
ish consul at Rio Janelro had objected
to Brazil recognizing the transfer OF the
steamer TO the American flag. Later adj
vices from the company state that in
formation has been received from the
company agent at Rio Janeiro that the
British consul has withdrawn his objec-
ton. Ambassador Morgan's report. which
Is expected today Is counted upon to
make clear the actual facts In the situa-
ton.
At the British Embassy 1t was stated
yesterday that no information has been
received here indicating that the British
government has any objections TO the
transfer Of American-owned vessels from
the British flag to the American flag.
According to reports received here from
the company, the Brazilian officials are
said to have feared that Brazilian neu-
trality would be compromised II they
recognized the transfer as valid and gave
clearance to the Robert Dollar.
Ambassador Morgan has been instruct
ed to ascertain IL the Brazilians took such
an attitude, and, II SO, to inform the
Brazilian government that the United
States does not see how Brazilian neu-
trality is in the slightest way involved,
and that II there is objection to the trars-
fer. that is a matter concerning only the
British and American governments.
Incidentally II became known yesterday
that State Department officials resent
very much the interview given cut
Wednesday by Representative Kahn, a
Republican. OF California, following his
visit to the State Department to ask .he
intervention OF the United States govern
ment in behalf OF the Robert Dollar

UNIFORM RATE
OF2l=2CENTSA
MILE PLANNED
BY BE-. N. R. R.

Concord, n. H., March 20-A uni
form passenger rate of two and half
cents a mile is planned for the Boston
& Maine Railroad in place of the pres
emit two cent rate. according to Edgar
]. Rich, the roads general solicitor.
Speaking today before the State Pub
lie Service Commission in the matter
of new maximum freight rates. Mr..
Rich made a prediction as to the rail-
roads future policy regarding passen-
ger rates, saying that if the needed
authorization could be secured it
would adopt the rate of two cent. and
half for it's entire system with the
exception of Boston suburban traffic.
He estimated roughly that such an
increase would produce additional rev.
enue of million or million and
half dollars year.
Members of the commission remark
ed that Mr.. Rich's suggestion present
ed question of so much Importance
to New England that it might be
deemed advisable to call together the
conference of Public Service Commits
sionS which met IN Boston recently to
consider freight rate problems.
MI Rich said the matter would be
presented formally in a few days to
the commission of this state and Mas
sachusetts.
