PASSENGER RATES

Missouri Railways to Charge Two and
One-haif Cents Per Mile
Hereafter.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. Nov. 1b.--
lTne Missouri public service commits
! sion has granted the railroads appli-
cation FOR an increase in passenger
rates from two cents mile to two
and one-half cents. The commission
also granted Ave per cent increase In
freight rates.
The order OF the commission also
granted an increase in the round trip
fare to two and one-quarter cents .
mile. The railroads had asked for a
general increase to three cents.
In a statement, the commission OK
planned that the minimum passenger
rate Of two cents per mile did not give
the carriers two cents per mile for
each passenger hauled because OF the
necessity Of the carriers meeting
each others short line rates.
Investigation showed the reduction
Of passenger rate from to 2 cents a
mile was not Offset by increase in traf-
fic as the losses in revenue from pas
senger traffic for 1914 compared to
1913 indicated.
The commission refused to allow the
freight schedule submitted by the
roads, but increased some and reduced
others, resulting In a total advance of
all rates Of approximately five per
cent.
Grain rates were adjusted, providing
a lower rate for corn than wheat and
providing that the rate on grain shall
include terminal allowances and the
usual absorption of switching charges.
resulting in an advance on all grain
traffic moving under new rates of less
than five per cent.
The commission found that Missouri
was the only state where the same
rate applied on furniture and agrfcul-
tural implements. The carriers asked
for a segregation and the order pro-
vides for segregation of these rate 3
and an adjustment which carries some
advances.
The commission found that certain
rates used the car as the unit instead
of 100 pounds as the unit, this latter
being the general unit in effect
throughout the United States and In
making the change both advances AMI
reductions resulted.
1t was found that the stone rates
were not classified and the order pro-
vides for classiffcations for stone,
there being some few advances. but
the general result is q reduction, es-
pecially upon stone for road making
and agricultural purposes.

Rates on oil were readjusted as it
was found that the existing scale was
not properly balanced and discriminat-
ed against the longer hauls.

favored by eastern critics for the

Ya1e's undreamed OF victory over

Blue in a favorable light for the Har-

CHICAGO. Nov. 15.-The recently
born American Boxing association to-
day started real war on title-ho1ders
who refuse to give the rising genera
ton whack at the honors. Acting
upon resolutions adopted at yester-
days meeting here, the association
today sent notification to Willie Rit-
chic that he must defend his Ameri-
can lightweight championship by fight
ing for it within ninety days. If he
refuses or ignores the edict, the asso-
citation will pick the best three or
four men IL the class and stage a
series of battles to give the nation a
title holder
1t was the sense Of the promoters
meeting that Richie be classed with
Kid Graves, Mike O'Dowd. Soldier
Bartfield, Packey Mcfarland, Jack
Britton and Ted Lewis, and be classed
as welters. In the cases OF Richie,
Britton and Lewis, the promoters
voted that these men will have TO
back up any claims they might make
as to their still being lightweights by
meeting all Corners at the accepted
weight in that class.
In the middleweight class the pro.
motors selected Young Ahearn, Mike
Gibbons, Jeff Smith, George Chip,
Jimmy Clabby and Eddie McGoorty.
In the new fiy.weight division, Fran
kie Izzo, Artie Armstrong and Jimmy
Pappas were picked as the three like
lest lads.
Jack Dillon was accorded the crown
among light heavies.
The featherweight question was al
lowed to rest until after
Johnny Kilbane, generally &c
copied champion, squares HIM
self with the Wisconsin boxing
commission for failure to appear and
answer charges Of stelling with Rit-
chic Mitchell and with the American
association for alleged stalling with
Cal Delaney. The promoters took no
action on the squabb!e between Kid
Williams and Johnny Ertle over the
