HOW RATE DECISION
WILL HURT ROADS
Spence Says Loss by IntermOun-
tain Ruling Depends on
Carriers Themselves.

L. J. Spence, director of traffic Of the
Southern Pacific, which was the first
road to the Pacific Coast to acquire
leadership in the making Of transcon-
mental rates, said yesterday that
whether the decision of the Supreme
Court i'm the lntermountain case causes
the railroads any immediate loss de-
pended upon themselves.
"The immediate effect Of the deci-
sion" said Mr.. Spence, ''is largely with
in the control of the carriers, because
the Interstate Commerce Commission IS
expected to recognize the propriety OF
the transcontinental lines advancing the
rates to Pacific Coast terminals which
are less than reasonable, wherever they
desire to do so, to a basis that will pre-
serve the rates to intermediate points,
the majority Of which have been pre-
scribed or found reasonable by the
commission.
"The unfavorable feature of the de-
cisioR is in the serious restriction
which IL pats upon the transcontlnental
lines in theiE. future efforts to meet
sea competitiOn-Whic in the near
future promises to become more acute
than it has ever beenVby requiring
them to choose between making rates
20 Pacific Coast terminals 10 retain
business against the competition OF the
sea and reducing rates to intermediate
destinations TO conform TO the pre-
scribed formula of the commission, or
abstaining from making rates to hold
business against the competition OF
the sea and thereby surrendering a
volume of traffic in which they might
have otherwise continued to engage
with a measure of profit"
Reports as to the prospective action
bv shippers to obtain refunds estimat-
ed as high as S10,000,000, representing
overpayment in the last three years
since the Interstate Commerce Com
missions zone rate order was issued
arc not taken seriously. Railroad men
pointed out that the commission gave
the railroads the choice of establish,
ing the percentage relation ordered
between interior and coast rates either
by cutting the interior rates or raising
the coast rates. As the railroads tool
the matter to court, they have not unit
now been called upon to decide which
horn of the dilemma to choose. There
| fore il is impossible for the shippers
TO calculate any overpayment.

M'ADOO MUST EXPLAIN
Relations with Kuhn, Loeb d
Co. Subject to Senate Inquiry.
From The Tribune Bureau ]

Washington, June ga close
scrutipv of the relations between
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. and Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdoo, with reference
to the financing of the McAdoo tun-
nels, is ander contemplation by mem
bers of the Senate Banking and Cur
rencv Committee, who are consider
ing the nomination Of Paul NJ. War
burg, a partner in the banking firm,
to be a member of the Federal Reserve
Board.
1t was said to-day by members of
the committee that Warburg will rot
be confirmed until the committee mas
learned what basis exists for the re-
ports that Kuhn, Loeb &, Co. had close
financial relations with Mr.. McAdoo
before he became Secretary Of the
Treasury.
In response to an inquiry made by
Senator Owen, a reply was received
by the Banking and Currency Com
mittee to-day from T. c. Jones, of
Chicago, the confirmation of whose
appointment to membership on the
Reserve Board was urged by President
Wilson a few days ago.
Mr.. Jones explains that he became
connected with the international Har-
NeSIeI Company az the itQuCoL VI otf
eral friends in the directorate, and
that he had purchased only one share
of stock to qualify for the position
He had no pecuniary interest in the
trust, he said, and since his election
to the board nothing had been done
by the officers of the company which
could be made the subject of criticism
Mr.. Jones does not say, however, as
the President did in his letter, that
he went on the board to reform the
company and lead it from its evil
ways.
Despite the criticism Of both War.
burg and Jones, it is probable that
both appointments will be confirmed
by the Senate without serious diff
Guilty.
Balloting on nominees for director.
shin in the twelve Federal Reserve
banks was completed to-day, but it is
expected that il will be several days
before the returns are canvassed.

diately following the burning of resi-

picnic mob.
The massive castle, where "Big Tim
Sullivan spent many a weekend with
Krause, had been vacant for months. 1t
was built by Colonel 0hler, the ice
king. The story had gone around that

heard there st night the building was
haunted.
While a crowd of 5000 exeursionists
from Manhattan were at Rocklsnd
Lake, across the road, some one set fire
to the castle 10 drive the GHOSTS" out.
The flames had not gained great head
way when Chief Caffeine and the vol
unteer fire department arrived. While
they were playing water on the fire
roughs cut two lines of hose and as
saulted two firemen who were operat-
ing the hydrants. The castle burned TO
the ground. The loss was about $4,000
