and to receive divisions of such rates.
The change in the attitude Of the
commission, particularly as it is stated
in the decision of today, affects not
only the industrial railways controlled
by the steel corporation, but hundreds
of other short line roads, which origin
ally were constructed as plant IA
cilities of great industries.
In a dissenting opinion, Chairman
Harlan held that the Birmingham
Southern was merely plant facility
of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Co., and
that allowances or divisions made to
it were practically only concessions to
the Tennessee company from the regu-
lar freight rates and constituted dis
elimination against other shippers.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 9.-More

"Statistics show that the larger
number of girls who go wrong are not
alone in the world" she said. Nor
are they all wage earners; girls come
to us from all conditions of life. IN
most of the cases the minds are pol
luted in early childhood Home con-

Siegel, bankrupt banker and head of
a New York department store that
bore his name, appeared in the SUI
preme court here today to stand trial
Tense was committed in New York, but
Siegel succeeded in securing change
of venue SO that he might be tried
away from the host of New York
creditors.
Because of minor court business
the local officials wished to get out of
the way before starting on the case OF
Siegel, it was considered probable
that the first of the extra panel of 100
>talesmen might not be examined until
this afternoon.
Arthur G. Train, assistant district
attorney of New York, and corps OF
assistants, brought into court a great
quantity of documents and books tax.

and the private bank conducted in
connection with it. Siegel is to be

theft of less than $500.
The attorneys for the defense
headed by John B. Stanchfield of New
York, and Charles D. Newton of
Geneseo, arrived in court shortly be.
fore Siegel, who came here from New
York at midnight.
Every hotel in this place was crowd
ed with witnesses, attorneys, talesmen
and others having an interest in the
case. 1t was expected that two weeks
would be required to complete the
trial.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 9.-Three rail

The injunction was directed against
the officers of the Order of Railway

The court ruled, however, that the

BERLIN Bellies
WAR HARDSHIP

normally, while in the case of certain
trades, which require men of excep-
tionally good physique, there was
actually shortage of labor.
The bills of fare in the Berlin hotels
and restaurants now may be read by
the German whose knowledge of
French is limited. The "speisekarte"
is no longer menu" There has
been little reduction in the quantity
and no deterioration in the quality of
the food offered Nor are the prices
materially higher. Many of the big
restaurants have made no change
whatever in their prices since the war
began.
I'VE must win is the slogan of
everybody in Berlin. To make this
possible everybody accepts resignedly
whatever sacrifice has to be made.
While the army has the hard work in
the battle line, the women, including
the empress and the ladies of her
court, knit socks, wristlets, gloves,
sweaters, abdominal bands and even
calf warmers"
Innumerable packages are dispatch
ed to the front, containing mostly
cigars, small bottles of spirituous bev-
erages and chocolate, for whose nutri-
ment values the German soldiers seem
to have the highest respect
Comment heard In the street, public
places and official quarters is not such
that one could say that the war is
popular in Germany. That term would
hardly describe the feeling. A better
definition of the sentiment prevailing
among all classes of Berlins popula-
ton and it is claimed, the empire is
that the war is very disagreeable
business, which must be disposed of
thoroughly and with whole hearted
ness.
In the crowds may be seen many
women in mourning. While the spirit
of the Berliner is such that the sight
Of them does not leave him unin-
pressed, it also reminds him that what
happened to one today may happen to
another tomorrow. Press and public
alike express this Spartan sentiment.
Berlin does not seem to fear an in
yasion by hostile air craft. For this
reason no limitation has been put on
street lighting, and there are many
electric signs which glare and flash
everywhere and which would guide
m aviator for miles. A plentiful sup
ply of fuel has made economy unnec-
essary.
Owing to a general communicating
Of horses and wagons the streets are
not as clean as they were formally.
That, and the conditions already re-
terred to, are the only indications that
Berlin is not in the midst of peace.
There is so little excitement in the
capital that even the war bulletins
Of the newspapers get but half the at
IGNITION they do elsewhere.

favor of strike had asked that their
votes be changed.
The difficulty between the railroad
company and the engineers arose out
of the discharge of a conductor on the
grounds of intoxication. The union
leaders insisted that he was not intox-
icated.
The railroad company invoked fed
eral mediation which was accepted by
the unions The matter has not yet
been adjusted.

CARSON ARRIVES AT BELFAST
Leader of Unionists Consulting With
Colleagues at Capita!-Home
Rule Debate in Commons
Causes the Crisis.

Belfast, March 21.-Sir Edward Car
son, the leader of the unionists of
Ulster, made dramatic entry into
the capital of the province. His pur-
pose in coming here is to consult with
the other Ulster unionist leaders and
with the commanders of the Ulster
volunteer forces.
Great Army Activity.
The great activity displayed at
unionist headquarters and in the army
barracks has caused much excitement
among the people of Belfast who, for
days past, have been momentarily eX-
pecting some decisive move on the
part of the unionist chiefs or the gov
eminent.
Before landing Sir Edward Carson
received on board the steamer on
which he had made the passage from
England, Sir George Richardson, a re-
tired lieutenant general of the British
army, who is communicative chief Of
the Ulster unionist forces, together
with his chief officers.
Guard of Honor Drawn Up.
AS the party came down the gang.
way from the steamer to the pier they
found drawn up as a guard of honor
the emergency force of picked men of
the Ulster volunteers, who had been
summoned to the unionist headquart-
srs at late hour last night. A big
crowd gave them a noisy welcome,
cheering wildly and firing into the air
from their revolvers.
Precautions of a. rigorous character
have been taken at the Victoria mill
tary barracks here. Extra guards are
on duty day and night. Urgent in
structions have been sent to the mill
tary authorities in the south of Ire
land to dispatch reinforcements i'm
mediately to the garrison stations in
Ulster.
Ships and Troops Sent.
In response to instructions from
army headquarters, a detachment of
200 infantry arrived at Newry from
Curragh, and another 800 from Null
lingar. The garrion of Londonderry
also was reinforced by 300 men from
Mullingar and two warships arrived in
Dublin bay.
Feeling among the public in Belfast
has become tense since the debate
in parliament, when Premier Asquith
rejected the unionists' proposal to SUBJ
init home rule to referendum vote
of the people.
Soon after his arrival here, Sir Ed
ward Carson iSsued an annoal IN hio
followers to preserve calm.

gram from Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
charge Of the American embassy at
Mexico City, the state department had
no news from Mexico. O'Shaughnessy
confirmed press dispatches as to his
illness from an attack of sciatica,
which seemed to require his descent
from the high plateau where the CAPT
tai is located to sea level for temper
airy relief. If there is any political
meaning in this movement of the
charges the fact is unknown to the
state department officials.
Secretary Bryan said that the only
information he had regarding the
presence in Vera Cruz simultaneously
of John Lind, personal representative
of President Wilson, and Senior Por-
tillo Rejas, Mexican minister OF
foreign affairs, had been derived from
the newspapers, which had left him in
doubt as to whether there had been
any meeting at all between the two
