SAYS REVENUES Of
ROADS INADEQUATE
Louis D. Brandeis Concludes
Argument Before !. c. c. on
Rate Advance Case.

Louis D. Brandeis, special counsel for
the per cent advance rate case. con-
cluded his argument today. in elaborat-
ing his conclusions that the net. and OPP
Grating, revenues of eastern railroads
are not adequate to afford the roads
assured prosperity or for the welfare
Of the community
On the whole the net income and net
operating revenues of the railroads in
official classification territory are smaller
than Is consistent with their assured
prosperity and the welfare OF the COM
munity: and this is notably true of the
Central Freight Association and other
eastern lines he said In view Of this
fact 1t is desirable that steps should be
taken as promptly as reasonably may be
to increase this net revenue"
In his argument Mr.. Brandeis harked
back to his statement in the advance rate
case of 1910 that the solution OF the en-
tire prob EN- lies almost entirely in '.scien-
tiflc management" which by conserva-
ton of effort and resources should be ef-
fectual to overcome any and all increases
In costs of raw material and labor
Opposes Horizontal Advance.
While maintaining that an increase in
tHe revenues OIL the railroads Is neCeS.
sary. Louis D. Brandeis Of Boston,
counsel for the interstate commerce COM
mission in the 5 per cent advance rate
case. said that to make a horizantal
advance in all freight rates. as proposed
by the railroads. was illegal and beyond
the powers of the commission He said
the net income and operating revenues
Of the eastern railroads at the present
time are smaller than is consistent with
their assured prosperity"
Just before MIR. Brandeis submitted his
conclusions. Clifford Thorne of Iowa. rep
resenting eight middle western states in
opposition to the proposed advance, had
completed an elaborate argument, in
which he maintained that the carriers
have been making more gross. and more
net, income during the last four wears
than in any previous four years In their
history"
William A. Glasgow, jr., OF Philadel-
phia, counsel for cement and coke pro-
ducers. declared that such an advance
OF freight rates as proposed was a mat
ter Of public policy and could be dealt
with only by the Congress
Judge Anderson OF the Iowa railway
commission argued against the proposed
increase from the standpoint Of the indie
pendent producers in Iowa of starch.

NO0FF|C|AL NOTICE
OF ATTACK ON SHIP
ConstitutionaIists Explain Fir
ing on the AntilIa at
Tampico.

Naval officials in Washington said today
that Admiral Mayo will take no official
notice of the attack by constitutionalists
on the Ward liner Antlla. under the Gu
ban flag, at Tampico which was reported
to the Navy Department by Admiral
Mayo last night
Officials, however, expressed the opin-
Ion that the British and other foreign
warships at the port would demand that
the constitutionalists refrain from inter-
fering with commerce.
The Antilla was held up in the river
at Tampico. but later steamed into port
under cover of the fire upon the rebels
from the Mexican federal gunboat Vera
Cruz.
The consttutionalist officers explained
their attack by asserting that they pro-
posed to prevent merchant vessels from
delivering supplies to the federals at
Tampico.
Inc nelmsman Of the Antilla was
wounded by the rebel fire. and the steam
er anchored. sending out wireless IS. o.
s. signals. Admiral Mayo sent along
side boat with his aid and medical
officer from the flagship Des Moines.
Then officers of the foreign men-of-war
off the port. headed by Capt. Doughty
of the British cruiser Hermoine. called
upon the CohlllduucT 1oI
an explanation of the incident.
Protected by Mexican Gunboat.
Admiral Mayos report said the gun
boat Vera Cruz opened fire upon the
constitutionalists and the Antilla, under
cover of Smelling. proceeded up the
river to the wharves. Shells from the
Vera Cruz set fire to two big oil light
ut
they we're still blazing at last report
Earlier in the day Admiral Mayo had
been instructed to notify both of the
Mexican factions of the pending media
ton program and ask whether they in
tended to continue fighting. The Navy
Department has received no reply on
this point.
The admiral reported that the federals
were said to be suffering considerable
losses" In the iightins now going on and
that the constitutionalists claimed to ex-
pect artillery reinforcements momenta-
rily.
Besides the blaze started by the Vera
CruZs shells, a fire was burning In the
vicinity of Booster pumping station. near
Taiahus, when the admiral's message
was sent. Additional refugees arrived at
Tampico yesterday and fifty-eight Of
them were started for Vera Cruz on the
destroyers F1usser and Preston.
Situation Considered Grave.
Gravity Of the situation at Tamptco
growing out of the fast accumulation Of
oil from the flowing wells in the In
terror. which constitute great menace
to the town itself; vast financial loss as
result OF the overlooking of the tanks.
and finally the interference with neutral
commerce by the constitutionalists, as
exhibited in the firing upon the Ward
line steamer Antilla at that port. prompt
