MATERIAL INCREASE IN
 IN: PASSENGER FARE
Trunk Line to Advance Rate to 2 1-2
 Cents Per Mile

Washington, Nov. 19.-MateriaI in- creases in passenger fares, virtually throughout the country, except in southeastern territory, will be caused by advances announced by railroads in trunk line territory, between New York City and PittSburg and Chicago and St Louis. Virtually. the basis for re- adjustment is 2 1-2s cents a mile. the present basis generally being IA cents.
 With Central Passenger association territory. the new fares will become ef- fective on December l, and in trunk line territory and between the two territories, they will become effective on December Is.
 An analysis by interstate commerce commission experts of the tariffs filed by the railroads shows the advances between specific points by comparing the present with the, proposed fares. The rates of the standard routes in all instances are n triile higher than those of the so-caIled difTerential lines.

Chicago. Nov. 19!-John Lind, per sonaI representative of President Will son in Mexico, during the Huerta ad- ministration. declared today in an ad- dress here to the Industrial club, that the land question was the cause of the revolutions in Mexico and that lighting there would never cease until the workers there were able to own their own farms.
 Mir. Lind pleaded for kindly feelings toward Mexico. asserting that Med- can distrust of the United States was vanishing and that thereafter the Mex jeans would be our steadfast friends forever

President May Ask British Government for Courtesy of It's Wireless in Case of DeIay-Matter Not Regarded as Serious by Washington Officials.

Washington, Nov. 1s. = President Wilson conferred tonight with Secre- tary Daniels of the navy department and Acting Secretary Lansing Of the state department on the situation pro : duced by the firing by Turkish land forces on the launch of the American cruiser Tennessee at Smyrna, Asia Minor
 The president summoned the two secretaries to learn if there had been any word from Turkey shedding light on the reasons for the firing, but found that neither the cables nod the wireless had yielded a syllable of information The European war has virtually para lyzaa cable communication to Asia Minor and such messages as are re- ceived come by roundabout routes abouesfive days late
 May Use British Wireless. If there is continued delay, it is probable. that the American govern ment will ask the British admiralty for the courtesy of it's wireless in the Mediterranean to reach the American ships.
 assuming that the shots fired at the American launch were merely a friendly warning, giving the customary notice that the port was mined and closed. Even if the shots were fired with hostile intent, the Washington
 
 government would render apology promptly for unauthorized acts of sub ordinate officials.
 Not Regarded as Serious.
 Tn no quarter here is the incident or it's consequences regarded as serious, for the United States has no quarrel with. Turkey. The American govern ment is caring for Turkish subjects and interests in France and Great Britain and there has been every indi- cation of friendliness in the relations between Washington and Constantine pie.
 Anxious to Have Incident Closed. In the absence of definite informa- ton, however the president is anxious to have the incident cleared up and is awaiting with much interest the ar rival of messages explaining in detail Just what occurred
 When tonight's conference ended both Secretary Daniels and Mir. Lan- sing said no further inquiries had been directed to the American cruis- CTS or the American ambassador at Constantinople, the talk being largely a detailed review of previous messages covering the general situation in Turkey and Asia Minor.

$71.ooo COLLECTION WAS
 OBTAINED BY ExToRTIoN
By Government Officials from Holders
 of Crown Lumber Lands.

St. John, N. B., Nov 19.-sThe royal commission which investigated charges that $100.000 was extorted by govern ment officials from the holders of $71, 900 collected from this source was obtained by extortion, according to the commissions report made public to- night.
 Having in view the testimony given by the different contributors. says the report. the only conclusion that seems possible to us is that the money was actually extorted.
 The charges, which were made in the New Brunswick legislature by l.. A. Dugal. specifically named T. K F7emming, premier of the province, as responsible for the alleged extor.ion. The premier was also accused of the diversion of money in connection with the construction of the St. John Nal- lev railway.

 FOR pEMuRRAGE CHARGES
On Account of Delays Caused by Land
 Slides.

Washington, Nov. 1s. = Governor GoetnaIs has held that the Panama canal is not liable for demurrage charges on account of delays caused by earth slides in the canal The point arose in the case of the big steamer Arizonian of the Americans Hawaiian line. which was held up at Pedro Mi- gueF lock for a week by the second movement of the new Culebra slide on Oct. 31st.
 Because of her dimensions, the Ari- zonan was deatined three days longer than the other vessels which had been stopped by the slide It is possible that the case will figure in the courts, as the company lost about $450 a day by the detention.

BANKS ASK PERMISSION
 TO LOWER THEIR RATEs
Although Rediseountins Operations Have Amounted to Only a Few Millions.


 Washington, Nov. 1s.-Afthoueh re- discoInting operations by federal re- ser,sZ banks in three days have amounted to only Q, few million dollars, several of the banks already have sent requests to the federal reserve board for permission to lower the rates. No information was given out tonight by the board. but it was understood the districts which ask lower rate are in the south and west.
 There is no present intention on the part of the board to change the rates, and such action isf not likely to be taken until all the reserves of member banks required at this time have been transferred to the reserve bank vaults. Reports today indicated that nearly S200, 100000 already has been transferred in the twelve districts leaving between s50,000.000 and $60,- 00o, 900 to be received. The greater portion of this sum is believed here to be due from country banks and delays in transportation probably account fol it's failure to pt in an earlier appear ance.
