PASSENGERS ON FALABA
 TELL OF EXPERIENCE

Cardiff, Wales, March 29.-Q2 Mid night) )-One of the Falaba's passen- gers in telling of their experiences, said that when the submarine ordered the passengers to take to the boats the boats were lowered immediately and the passengers were served with lifebelts, but no one was allowed to take any personal effects.
 Then followed a horrible scene '" said the passenger, Some of the boats were swamped and the occu- pants were thrown into the sea Sev- eral were drowned almost immedi. ately.
 Barely ten minutes after We re- ceiye dthe order to leave the ship l heard a report and saw the vessel heel over The Germans had actually fired torpedo at her at a range of about 200 yards when a large number of passengers, the captain and other officers were distinctly to be seen aboard
 All the passengers and officers say that the submarine fired a torpedo be- fore all the boats were lowered and while many persons still were aboard the steamer One officer said
 q was sitting in a boat which was suspended from the dayits and was awaiting for two women passengers, when another officer shouted Look out and then l saw the bubbles marking the track of a torpedo
 There was a tremendous crash and the boat fell from the davits and turned over, throwing the passengers and crew into the water The water was frightfully cold and there were many who died from exposure"
 The quartemaster of the Falaba, describing the scene of the destruc- ton of the steamer. said;
 "All on board helped splendidly in the rescue work There We're eight women on board. One of them, who hesitated about entering a lifeboat | threw overheard. There was no time 10 argue the matter Luckily she was picked up Two other women who refused to leave the ship were drowned.
 The scene was awful, with scores of people struggling in the water owing to the oyerturning of the boats. The submarine was in the midst Of them and l saw at least 20 men on her They stood and laughed, the brutes.
 Captain Davis was on the liner when she sank. pulled him into our boat with a boathooK. Poor fellow, he was alive then, but expired imme- diately afterward. our small boat wa swthln 20 yards of the submarine when she fired and I saw the torpe- dos propeller as it shaved us and went on its deadly journey"

TO RAISE FREIGHT
 RATES ON SOUTH'S RICE
RAILROADS CLAIM RATES WE'RE ORIGINALLY MADE LOW TO
 FOSTER INDUSTRY.

Chicago, March % The south western railroads were pictured as benefactors in developing the coantry by witnesses at the Interstate Com merce Commissions hearing of the western freight rate case today.
 Speaking in behalf ot the alroado. proposed increase in the rates on rice used in the manufacture ot beer, from New Orleans, interior Louisiana. Texas and Arkansas, C w. Owen, as sistant general freight agent Of the Louisiana and Texas Railroad and Steamship Company testified that years ago the railroads purposely fixed rates unproftably low to them in order to develop the country, and now that the industry aas become seE-sustainng the railroads thought it reasonable that the rates should be on a basis to yield far return for the cost of transportation
 The proposed increases range from 12 to 10 1-2 cents a hundred pounds, spread, according to the railroads, to place the markets at Chicago, St
  on an equal basis 90 far as rates are concerned. The total increase from this source, the witness said, would be $1S,500 a year, which is part of the ten million dollars which the i1 western railroad systems hope to add to their annual revenue if all the in- Creases asked for are granted
 Rice rates were made extremely low to foster the industry" said Mr. Owen. There was a vast area of land in Louisiana and Texas which produced nothing but crawfish holes. Experiments were began with rice and the railroads put the rates low to build up the industr
 What per cent of the value of rice would the ro3osed increase amount to-" asked Luther NJ. Walter, attor- ney for the packers who had ap- peared in opposition to all the ad- vances asked by the railroads.
 The market value of brewers rice is s3 a hundred pounds. Averaging the advance at cents a huudI ed pounds the increase would be l-2 per cent of the yalue,' replied the witness.
 Your position is that the railroads having successfully fostered this in- dustry are now entitled to raise the rates and take away the nursing bottle?7
 We feel that the rice industry has grown to the extent that it IS self-sustaning."
 D. H. Lincoln, assistant general freight agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad, testified briefly, saying there was no necessity now for less than carload rates on rice

This should apply not only to public houses but also to private clubs, SO as to operate equally with all classes of the community. It was stated that despite the fact that work was being carried on night and day seven days m the week, the total working time on the average in nearly all the Brit lsh ship yards was actually less than before the war, and the average pro- duetiveness had decreased. There were many men doing splendid and strenuous work, probably as good as the men in the trenches, but many did not even approximate full time. thns disastrously reducing the ay. craze.
