NEW YORK. November 11.-Wireless
messages received here from persons
on board the French line steamer Ro-

south of Halifax. on her way to Bor-
deaux. Sunday afternoon.
Although Capt. Juham notified the
New York office of the line. he did not
inform the passengers Of the fire, fear
ing II would cause excitement. When
the wireless messages were received
from New York by passengers they in
Guired about the fire, and the officers
admitted it's discovery, but said the fire
was under control.
The messages state that discipline
was perfect, that there was no excite :
ment and that the crew fought the fire
for five. hours. winning the praise OF
the passengers.

Of FREIGHT
CASE DENIED BY |. c. c.
Investigation Is to Be Made, How
ever, as to Certain Com
modities.

The interstate commerce commission
railroads. which sought to increase
their freight rates, although it will in
vestigate the rates, rules and practices
of these roads in relation to the trans
portation of live stock, fresh meats and
packing house products These COM
modities were among those on which
increases were sought.
No Reason Is Given.
In denying the carriers petition for
a reopening of their case the commits
sion gave no reason for its action, al
though it is believed to have been due
to the fact that increases sought on
other commodities have not been acted
upon and because of the proposed in
vestigation of live stock rates.
The roads originally sought increases
of about s10.000.000 in their annual
revenues, but the commission allowed
Need for More Revenue.
Failure Of the commission to con-
was cited by the roads az the main rea-
son for asking a reopening and re-
hearing as to rates on livestock, fresh
meats. packing house products and
grain and grain products.
The proposed investigation may re-
suit in giving the roads a part of the

would have received in added revenues
through increases sought on fresh
meats. packing house products and

President Wilson to Welcome
Support of Republicans
and Progressives.
PLANS FOR CONFERENCES
WITH MINORITY LEADERS
No Quarrel Over Details With Those
Who Support General
Preparedness.

| President Wilson's purpose to
present national preparedness leg
! islation to Congress in non
partisan spirit is shown in the
White House announcement to-
day that he will invite republican
senators and representatives to
confer with him. No date has
been fixed for these conferences,
but it is presumed they will take
place during the next few weeks.
| The President is understood to have
! received encouragement that his ma
tional defense program practically will
have as strong support from repub-
| licans as from his own party, and it is
| said to be his belief that the legisla
| tion will pass Congress through the
support of the majority of both par
ties, including about the same proper
| ton of progressives.
No Drawing of Party Lines.
There will not be the slightest dis
position to draw party lines and the
| cooperation of republicans and pro-
gressives will be expected throughout.
| The President will not go out of the
way to seek support from the repub-
| licans, but when he understands that
the support is ready he will find pleas
ure in comforting with those who do
not oppose the general idea of pre-
paredness.
The President is not led to expect
that the republicans will support the
admin istration program in detail, at
least not all of them, but he will be
satisfied if they support the principle,
as that will mean the passage OF leg
islation which, while in the nature of
a compromise, will be satisfa ctory.
Former President Taft has spoken in
favor of preparedness, but stands
somewhere between Bryan and Roose-
welt, he says. Col. Rooseve1ts views
have been known for long time.
Ranking Minority Members.
The ranking minority man on the
House committee on military affairs Is
Representative Julius Kahn of Cali
fornia, while Representative Butler of
Pennsylvania. who represents a Quaker
community, is the ranking man on ma
val affairs of the same body. In the
Senate. Senator du Pone is the ranking
minority representative on military
affairs, and Senator Penrose holds the
same position on naval affairs
1t is taken for granted that these
| men will be among those the President
will wish to see. Representative Mann
I of Illinois, minority leader of the
| House, is also expected to be invited to
| confer with the President and give
views on preparedness.
When the President fully under
stands the republican and progressive
viewpoint and knows the liDe-up in
Congress of all parties, he will be in
position to offer suggestions that will
| lead. he is confident, to a bill that will
receive the sanction of the nation.

BRITISH U-BOAT ACTIVITY
QUESTIONED BY SWEDEN
Sinking of German Merchant Ships
Off Her Coast May Constitute
Violation Of Neutrality.

English submarines have been going
quietly and successfully about their
work of sending German ships to the
bottom of the sea, il became known to-
day from a communication sent from
the American legation at Stockholm,
Sweden. But in their enthusiasm to
wipe the German merchant marine
from the seas question has arisen as
10 the violation of the neutrality of
Sweden by this activity of the English
U-boats. and the matter has been re-
terred to the British government by the
government of Sweden.
The English under water boats, it
became known, are unusually active on
the southern coast of Swede2. On Oc-
tober IL the German collier Guthrune
was tEpedoed off the southern end of
GLAND. after her crew was taken into
the small boats. AS u Swedish steamer
appeared, the sub took the small
boats ia tow and delivered them to the
Swedish steamer, seeing that they were
safely aboard
Seen by Lighthouse Keeper.
The same day a submarine pursued
the German steamer Veses Germanie.
and when the officers saw that they
could not escape the English boat they
ran her ashore. A Swedish lighthouse
keeper heard about ten shots fred. He
observed that the C-boat was standing g
by the steamer. All papers were taken
on and then the boat dynamited a hole
in her side. completing the wreck. The
wrecking was witnessed by the crew OF
the steamship Ellida and the lighthouse
keeper.
This was considered a violation of
Ewedish neutrality, in view of the fact
that the wrecking was done on Swedish
soil.
Other German steamers reported sunk
3y the British boats are the Director
Reppenhagen Of Stetten. the Nicodemia
II Hamburg and the Walter Leonard of
Hamburg. All of these vessels were sunk
October IL. The crew Of the Reopen
hagen was lost, while the crews Of the
other vessels were saved.
