WANT LOWER RATES
ON COTTON GOODS
Texas Manufacturer Makes
Plea to Interstate Commerce
Commissioner.

Chicago. April IA plea for lower
freight rates from Texas on cotton
piece goods was made today before w.
NJ. Daniels. interstate commerce COM
missioner In the hearing on the west
ern railroads petition for increased
freight rates.
The Texas plea was presented by J.
G. Saunderson, of Bonham, Tex, a cot
ton manufacturer, who detailed the
condition Of Texas cotton mills and the
difficulties under which they operate.
The increases sought by the railroads
on cotton goods comprise am advance
Of 5 cents per 100 pounds from such
points as Chicago, st. Louis and Min
neapOlis to Western Trunk line ter
ritory. Kansas and Nebraska, and an
advance of 5 cents from Texas pro-
ducing points to the Missouri rive and
points west thereof, 10 cents to points
east Of the Missouri river and west Of
the 1ndfana-lllinOis line ID cents east
of Chicago and 10 cents to the seaboard
by way Of the gulf.
Mr.. Saunders said the product OF
Texas mills was largely coarse goods
and that because fuel transportation
and wages were high in Texas the mills
there could not compete with New Eng
lar and southeastern mills on fine cot
ton piece goods. He asserted the pro-
posed increase would be a heavy bur-
den on the Texas mills and estimated
a the Increase yearly on one mill
would be approximately $4,000. On
cross examination he said that expected
increases in state freight rates had
figured largely in his estimate of the
amount of freight increase and that the
actual increase under the new rates
proposed for interstate traffic would be
less thar $500 on the net output Of that
n mill.

From Russian sources, it is reported

liCia, says the Russians are advancing
successfully along a wide front between
Bartfeld and UZSok, descending the
southern slope of the Carpathians and
pressing back the Austrians. In the
Dukla regions, also, the Russians are
said to have routed the Austrians,
forcing them to abandon stores and
transports In their retreat.
THE Meuse- Moselle region Is still the
scene Of the principal contest in the
west. Although the French attacks
have been made with increasing Vigor,
has been accomplished by these tao
tics. An official view OF those opera
lions contain the statement that the
Germans have regained all the posi-
tons lost earlier in the fighting with n
few unimpOrtant exceptions and that
the French have sustained extreme
losses.
London heard rumors today Of an
other naval engagement off the Eng

under way OFF Scarborough, one Of the

attacks have been exceedingly fierce
and that IN resulted in the reCaptare

admits also that the Germans have
recovered some ground temporarily
lost by them between Pont-a-MOusson

French claim to hold most OF their

PROTEST RATES
ROADS PROPOSE
Representatives of Pacific
Coast Cities Say Eastern
Lines Have Plan Which
Will Be Unfair.

Washington, April 12.-Representa-
tives of Pacific coast cities and cities
some distance back in the interior pro-
tested before the Interstate Commerce
commission today against the proposal
of eastern railroads to reduce the rate
making basis from eastern points to
points in so-called back haul terri
tory in coast and i"ntermountain states.
Arguments in the case were heard by
Interstate Commerce COMMISSIONS
Clark and Examiner Thirtell. Of the
commission.
Following a recent decision of the
commission, which ordered the rates
to back haul points reduced to some
what less han the through rate to Pa
cifc coast terminals plus the return
rate to the destination" the railroads
proposed to make the terminal rate
for rate making purposes 7 cents less
per 100 pounds on carload lots and 1O
cents less per 100 pounds on less thar
carload lots then the real terminal
rate.
Charge Discrimination.
To his the rate for the haul back
would be added to make the new rate
to backhaul points. Representatives
Of the Pacific coast cities and cities
tested hat the plan would disCrim-
mate against them. Attorney Mann.
Tor the San Francisco chamber of
commerce, said hat Sacramento, Los
Angeles, San Jose and other California
towns having a rate from San Fran
cisco less thar the proposed reduc-
lion, would be given practically the
Iame rates as seaport terminals de-
spite the water competition at the
Ieaboard.
F. A. Jones, representing the Ari-
iona state commission, said that If
he terminal rate was to be extended to
.ities 40 or so or 80 miles from the
~IeacCast, there was no reason why
Iimilar concessions should not be made
o points further in the interior.
F.. H. Wood, for the railroads, de-
ended the proposed plan, and assert
ID that 1t was equitable to all points
Effected.

secretary Garrison's order, withdraw
ing from Germany all American mill
tary observers, since the matter of the
German communications on the Fabala
ana the Odenwald and Pinchot's eX-
pulsion arose. Secretary Garrison Is
emphatic in his statement that he
said the last word" on the subject,
but there is a prevailing impression that
washington cannot withhold an official
expression OF the situation much longer
unless conditions improve.
United States Officers DisIiked.
Despite the official reticence on the
subject of the recall of the American
military observers, it is widely report
ed that the real cause of the recall was
the fact that American officers found
themselves the objects of dislike and
hostility on the part of at least some
OF the less tactful German offices.
1t is said there was also the posi-
biity that challenges to duels might
grow out Of the antipathy to the Amer
lean officers. The nti-American feel
Ing in Germany is such that the state
department is d~iscouraging the
presence of Americans in that country
unless they have important business
there. But the German government, 1t
Is said, has been scrupulously correct in
Its treatment Of Americans in Ger

Assistant Secretary Peters OF the
treasury department expressed deep in

that the forts at San Juan had made

that no loss OF life resulted because Of
a lucky" chance. But Mr.. Peters, like
other government officials withheld
comment.
