SETTLEMENT OF OIL
SEIZURES DUE TODAY

Complete settlement OF differences be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States over seizure Of the three Stand
ard OIL vessels. Brindilla, Platuria, and
John u. Rockefeller, Is in sight today,
follcwing orders by Great Britain for
release Of the Brindilla at Halifax.
The State Department was advised
that the release of the Platuria in Eng
land will follow, probably today.
Assurances that the oil cargoes Of the
three seized vessels would not reach
Germany or Austria prompted Great
Britain's action.
officials pointed out today. however,
that no test case has yet been made,
either In an admiralty or prize court or
automatically, Of transfer Of German
vessels to American registry under the
new ship registry law.
Treasury officials expect soon to fol-
low suggestions in notes from Ambassa-
dor Spring Rice Of Great Britain re-
gsrding release OF the oil steamers that
American shippers and vessel owners
carefully and clearly indicate the ulti-
mate destination OF cargoes and ships to
prevent suspicion and detention.

WILL URGE FEDERAL
GUN MANUFACTURE
Gardner, Good, and Tavenner
Active in Revival of Dis
cuSSion.

The coming session Of Congress will
witness a revival of the discussion Of
Government manufacture Of war mu-
nitions and arrnor plate in the wide
spread concern over the state Of de-
fense in America.
Congressman Gardner, who has
intel,gent stems to meet conditions, will
have powerful support in Congress.
1t has been widely charged that
Kruppism in Germany has had much
to 60 with the tremendous burden of
preparation for war put on that coun-
charged at times that some Of the war
scares In this country have been fos-
tered by private interests having fat
contracts for war materials.
In support Of Government manufac-
ture. 1t will be strongly urged next
talk from private business is to have
tn" Government manufacture the sup
plies and materials needed for the army
and navy. Further 1t will be pointed
out that If the United States is to in
crease the measure Of its preparations.
the need for Government manufacture
is greater than ever.
Already Congress has to a large ex-
tent provided for the Government
manufa cturo of nowder. The Govern
ment manufactures it much more cheaply
than private interests. Similarly. the
Government manufactures it's own
rifles, part OF its ordnance and part Of
it, military supplies. Government
N anufacture In general is proving much
less expensive than purchase from pri-
vate concerns.
Congressman Good Of Iowa is one of
the leaders in the movement for Gov
eminent manufacture of powder and
var materials. He is on the House
Committee
Another is Congressman Tavenner of
Illinois, who represents the Rock Island
district. He advocates Government
of ammunition and war
materials generally. and II has become
an issue in his campaign.

PICK BAD YEARS.


Washington, Oct. 20-Today's hear
ing before the interstate commerce
commission on the application of the
eastern railroads for increased freight
rates on their contention that financial
exigencies brought on by the Euro
pean war make them needful, was de-
voted largely to a cross-examinatio ton of
President Willard of the Baltimore &
Ohio, on the relations of that system
to the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton.
Louis ID. Brandeis, special counsel
for the commission, laid stress on the
Baltimore & Ohio investment of more
than $20,000,o0O in the Ohio line and its
assumption of obligations of like
amount. The witness said the invest
ment represented only an interest
charge of 81, 900, 900. annually and insist
ed that would not have affected the
present situa ton Of the line.

way commissions and shippers associa-

not true that the years picked by the
railroads for comparison to show fail

Thorne read figures for several other
years both before and after 1910 which
showed earnings on new capital. Mr..
Willard did not challenge the figures

ANOTHER HOLDUP.
Two Suspects Arrested but Later Re-
leased by Police.

Two suspects. Clarence Parker and
John Langdon. arrested early this
morning by Patrolmen Wyatt and Hol-
man in connection with an unsuccess-
full attempt to hold up Frank Curry,
proprietor OF the Curry smoke house,
near the alley between Jefferson and
Madison streets on East Eighth ave-
nue. late Monday night, were released
today by the police following Curry's
refusal to identitmy the men as those
connected wit hthe holdup.
At the time of the holdup Curry was
on his way to his home, 918 East
Tenth avenue. The wouldbe holdups
ran from the alley and ordered the
smoke house proprietary to throw up
his hands. Curry ran. One of the
three men shot at Curry and then
turned and ran. Curry's cries OF alarm
awakened persons residing in the
neighborhood. An alarm was turned
in to the police station. Robert
Steele. who lives near the scene Of the
holdup, rushed from his house and
fired several s0hts at the men who re-
turned the fire. the bullets going wide
OF their mark.
The two men released this morning
were later arrested.

JUST As AN EXAMPLE.
Cargo of Lumber shipped to Chicago
by Inland Waterway.

Chicago. Oct. 20.-The first Lious-
lana lumber to reach Chicago by an
inland water route arrived today. The
cargo was brought up the Mississippi.
through the Hennepin canal. the H.
linois river, the Old Illinois and Mich
igan canal and the Chicago river. AT
La Sale. Illinois. the load was trans
ferred to small barges to make the
remainder of the trip possible.
The operation was designed to IL
lustrate that if the locks of the IL
linois and Michigan canal were en-
larged instead of turning the SO called
'Tadpole ditch" into a boulevard. az
has been seriously urged, southern
lumber could be laid down here much
more cheaply than at present. Larger
locks would obviate the expensive
transfer at La Sale, It Is said.
