Shippers of Pacific Coast Ci- ties Object to Such Action,
 While Those From Interior
 Points Welcome It Heartily

WASHINGTON. April 12. That the transcontinentai railways propose O meet competition via the Panama Ca- ual by making rates to divert freight to points, just east of Pacific Coast terminals for distribution, was made clear in the hearings before Interstate Commerce Commissioner Clark ou ad- iustmeut ot rates in the so-called back haul territory.
 Chas. Donnelly, representing the Great Northern, and other trauscon- tinental roads, with terminals at North Pacific coast points. served notice on the commission of the carriers pur- poses.
 "If the construction of the canal. he said has lowered rates. Co coast points, to degree tha. will make our Pacific terminals worthless. so far as transcontinental traffic Is coucemed we have the right to make rates that will send freight to an intermediate point for distribution lf the rates to Seattle prevent us from compe,- ing in trauscontinental trade we have the right Co make a rate that will send that freight to Spokane for dis- lubutiOu in that competitive terri tory We propose to support that righl before any court OF commission
 DouneIIy supported the railroads proposal to cut rates m t#. back haul territory by reiu.iu- ta. ter- miual rate which forms part of the back haul rate Raprasena from san Francisco Tacoma, Portland Ee- atIe and other seaports opposed the plan declaring 1t t1 be a discrimin auion against them, because 1t would deprive them of the benefits of w,p ter competition by lowering rail rates from the east to nearby interior poins.
 Representatives from Spokane and Sacramento supported the plan Jo- seph x. Teal representing Portland and Seattle and other ports oi Oregon and Washington with Attorney Ham for san Francisco declared the pro- posal would give interior points ap- proximateIy the same rate. enjoyed by seaport terminals, and would oy ercome the natural advantage of wa ter competition J w.

 The State Depaur - felt. under the circumstances, that the British authorities should have ordered the immediate release Of the Auuua and her cargo Nearly the same condi- tions are said to exist in the case of the American steamer.

 This action grew out of the effort of the United States to obtain the naturalization of railroads between Mexico City and Vera Cruz. Although unwilling to make any permanent ar engagements Carranza has now ex. pressed desire to aid foreigners who are anxious to reach the seacoast. Many Americans and foreigners. in Tampico are similarly planning to leave soon as transportation arrange ments can be made.

of time and chance until two steam
ers collide at the mouth of the river.
When this happens the easiest thing
for an injured boat to do is to topple
over, just like the Eastland did.
Zone thing should be done with
out delay. Every water ballast boat
on the lakes should be tied to the
dock and kept tied.

all the portfolios were closed and the
exc matches were battened shut With
this done the Christopher Columbus
could have been tilted more than
twice as far as it was with perfect
safety.
Next day 1 saw the Christopher
Columbus pulling out with an eX-
cursion load The matches and gang
ways were all open. If the boat had
listed half as much as it did under
the sandbag test it would have cap
sized from the rush of water.
"In was the rush of water into
open ports and gangways that cap
sized the Eastland, not the listing.
Had the Eastland been Obeying the
law it's ports and gangways would
have been closed while it was load
ing, except one gangway.
From present indication l will
say that it looks as if. the tests of
lake boats is going to turn out a
farce"

YENIZELOS WANTS ID
 AVOID FRESH CRISIS
Greek Government to Submit Its Policy to Chamber
 Today.

Paris, Oct. II, SIP a. m.-A Havas despatch from Athens filed Sunday says:
 ''The text of the declaration which the government will submit tomorrow to the chamber has been completed by the council of ministers and will be submitted by Premier Zaimis to King Constantine today for his sigma ture.
 ''The liberal deputies will decide to- morrow what shall be the attitude of that party in the chamber. Accord ing to information obtained from the supporters of M. Venizelos, who con- trols a majority of the chambe :, he will attempt to avoid a flesh crisis but is unwilling to assume responsibility for the policy of the Zaimis cabinet. The liberal party, therefore, will as- sist the government to obtain a quorum and will facilitate legislation, but is not disposed to grant the gov ernment vote of confidence. On the other hand the government will Lot ask the liberal party to share respon- sibility for a policy which it has not adopted.
 Information received from Sa- loniki confirms reports that anti war demonstrations have taken place at Varna and Rustchuk, Bulgaria"

Generations were resumed this morning at the North 6 Judd man. ufacturing company, after period of idleness of two weeks caused by the recent strikes of the employees. Su- narintendent Johnson said this after noon that conditions at the plant were smooth and the molders returned of their own volition and not on account of any increase in wages.
 There is not much change in the situation in the other concerns slight lv effected. most of the strikers in the west side of the Corbin Screw Corpor- ation concern having resumed work. The operators of the automatic ma chimes on the east side of the plant remain firm in their stand to continue with the strike.
 The New Britain Machine company has about resumed normal operations. General superintendent A. Buol re- ports that the strike Is practically ended and most of the employees have returned to work. So far as the concern is concerned the strike is practically matter of history.
 Against this statement Charles Carlson. head of the striking machin- ists. claimed this afternoon that only eight of the 500 strikers have re- turned. Many of the strikers have ob- taincd work in other cities and the company has obtained workers from other places.

the box a hair-raising pitching duel was looked forward to.
 Loyal Supporters Doubled.
 The Sox had all the advantage that goes with the home crowd and there were more than double the loyal SUD- porters on hand to cheer them than the Phillies could crowd into their yard on Broad street.
 But the playing itself was stranger to the Sox than to the Phillies, this home of the Braves having been se- lected in place of the American league modations.
 Cheer For Red SOx.
 A mighty cheer greeted the Boston players when they appeared in the field little after 1 o'clock and began their batting practice. Manager Car rigan sent one of his numerous left handlers, Vean Gregg, to the hurling hill to give his club some practice at batting the offerings of a port sider in the event that Manager Moran of the Philadelphia team should unex- pectedly call his cratic hand finger, Eppa RiXey to the pitching slab. Hardly had the Philadelphia club come upon the field than Manager Moran began to warm up Rixey to see how his curves were breaking.
 ''If Rixey can get that quick curve breaking right" saidf Manager Moran, hell have the Red Sox throwing away their bats Anyhow, it looks like Alexander, as my pitching selec- tion today. Have Batting Practice. Manager Moran was confident that his club would have to face "Dutch' Leonard, the star southpaw of the Red Sox. Accordingly he motioned Rixey to go out and give the club some batting practice. Bancroft took his position at the plate, and batted right handed, and this brought up only one left handed batsman, Luder- HIS in t~a Philadelphia batting order. The crowd began to arrive in large : numbers near 1:3O o'clock. By that time all the cheaper seats were filled with scores eager to gain admission. Today's Game Crucial
 Red Sox and Phillies went into the third game with honors even and with the interest as keen for the reopening of the series in this city as it was for the start at Philadelphia. By some observers today's contest was termed Crucial" particularly in it's bearing on the plans of Manager Moran.
 Attraction to Crowd. AleXander's appearance alone was an attraction to the crowd, but with it was coupled the semi official word 11om Manager Carrigan of the Red SoX that Dutch" Leonard, the youth full southpaw, would pitch for Boston. When in shape Leonard has been looked upon as the best pitcher on the Red Sox staff His delivery con- tains more twists and turns to bafle Continued on Eleventh Page.)
