HARMFUL BLOW TO FARMER.
Railway Expert Declares Economical
Handling Would Effect Saving
Equal to Proposed Profits.

Chicago.-Basing his testimony on
statistics tabulated in % exhibits, w
M. Hopkins, formerly manager of the
transportation department of the Chi
cago board of trade, Saturday sought
to prove that western grain freight
rates should not be advanced.
The principal contentious voiced by
him before w. M. Daniels, interstate
commerce commissioner, who is hear
ing the petition of Al western railroad
systems for permission to advance
their freight rates on certain commod-
tiles, were that saving equal to the
proposed increase of / cent per 100
pounds might be effected If more eco
nomical method of handling grain were
practiced by the railroads, and that
grain now pays more than fair share
of the total freight transportation
| charges
Illustrative of methods of handling
grain which he classed as not econom-
ical Mr.. Hopkins cited the unsatisfac-
tory character of many cars furnished
the shipper for grain loading, failure
to furnish receipts at initial stations,
and unnecessary delays in hauling, de-
| lays at terminals and unnecessary
switching.
Grain movement is highly remuner-
| alive to the carriers" declared the wit
ness, because 1t loads to capacity and
moves from the western fields to the
extreme east and south of the coun-
try"
Judge A. E. Helm of the Kansas
| railroad commission said:
1.-The proposed advance In rates on
grain and grain products and on live
stock affects the interests of the farm
ers of the west more than any other
class"

SIDE the harbor where attempts are
being made to raise the submarine
F-4, submerged since March 25, became
entangled in the lines at depth Of
220 feet Saturday, but was released
after heroic efforts lasting nearly four
hours.
Members of the crew were bringing
Loughman to the surface slowly, so
that he might not suffer from salsson
disease, and he was resting at the 80
loot level when the report was re-
ceived here. Loughman was lowered
shortly after 10 a. m. and was being
raised to the surface when he became
entangled Frank Crilly, diver who
recently made a record for deep sea
diving, was hurriedly lowered to make
an attempt to rescue him. 1t was not
until both divers had worked siren
uously that the lines were disentan-
gled from Loughman and both divers
were reported safe.
Four lines are now fast to the hulk,
connecting it with the two scow pom
toons. The dredges and barges en-
gagged in the preliminary work have
been towed away, leaving the speace
above the submarine clear for lifting
operations.
