EXCUSE FOR HIGHER RATES.
Railroads Sec Financial Loss in En-.
forcement of Cummins' Amendment.

Washington, April 10.--Representa-
tives of railroads and traffic associa-
tions appeared today before the inter-
state commerce commission to discuss
the effect Of the Cummins amendment
to the rate law, which forbids a limita-
tion Of liability on shipments.
The amendment becomes effective
June 8. The uniform bill Of lading ap-
proved by the commission several
years ago, allows limited liability for
the carrier on one rate and 10 per
cent liability for higher rate.
The Cummins amendment makes it
compulsory on all roads not to limit
their liabilities.
o, A. Butterfleld, chairman of COM
mittee of traffic officials and railroads
north of the Ohio and east of the Mis-
sissippi rivers, told Commiss ioner
Clark. who presided. that the roads he
represents proposed to amend the uni
form bill Of lading so as to limit the
carriers liability. He said:
1--WE do not expect to increase rates
10 per cent but we submit that some
increase In the normal rate be per-
mitted and on this point we desire to
be heard further"
Propose Rate Increases.
H. G. Wilson, president of the Ma
tional Industrial Traffic League, op-
posed the argument that the Cummins
amendment necessitated any rate in
crease.
Lincoln Green, freight traffic man
ager of the Southern railroad, an
nounced that his road proposed to in
crease it's rates 5 per cent, where 1t
was affected by the Cummins amend
ment.
r. B. Scott. general attorney Of the
Burlington, spoke for roads in western
territory.
II do not undertake to say that an
increase Of 10 per cent IS Justified
said he, "but do think we will'b sub
jected to serious injury ard should
have some increase"
Mr.. Scott announced that western
roads proposed to Increase rates on
livestock and might seek to base rates
on the value.

Allies Willing to Permit Austria and

Petrograd, April 1o.-Negotiations to

been opened by Emperor Francis Joseph
of Austria, according to the Bourse
Gazette, one of the most conservative
and best informed newspapers here.
Fear that irreparable devastation will
be the fate Of Hungary is reported to
be the moving cause OF Austria's desire
to arrange for cessation Of hostiltties.
Russia's Allies Willing.

ate peace, provided that Austria ac-
cedes to the demands Of Russia and
that Serbia Ii allowed to reAlize Its
aspirations. 81 So ::

Bourso Gazette Comment.
On the subject Of a separate peace
the Bourse Gazette says:
I'm the dual monarchy the roles have.
changed. At the outset the Hungarians
were for war and for solidarity with
Germany. Since the fall Of Przemysl
they have been talking loudly OF q
separate peace.
"The Austrian party, on the contrary,
insists on the war being continued.
since they realize that Austria In any
event will have to pay the price.
Tolls Hungary's Status.
Austrian politicians showed En-
peror Francis Joseph that the Hun
garian desire for peace was brought
about by Germany's failure to afford
protection to Hungary. Seeing disaster
approaching, the agitators desire to
secure safety by strengthening Hun
gary in the dual monarchy.
Among diplomats here it has become
the theme Of conversation. From good
sources 1t Is known that the Serbians
are in full accord with Russia.
I'm English political circles the idea
has been received with sympathy, but
with the understanding that the de-
mands Of Russia and the Slav world
must be fully satisfied. Russia, France.
and Great Britain are united in this
conception Of peace possibilities"

BERLIN FILES COMPLAINT.
Find. Fault With Progress Of Y. 8
DinIomacy on Shipping Controversy.

Finds Fault With Progress OF y. >.
Diplomacy on Shipping Controversy
washington, April 10-Germany has
sent to the United States government
note complaining that the latter mas
accomplished nothing in its diplomatic
correspondence with the allies to OBJ
tain for American exporters the right
to ship foodstuffs to the civilian popu-
lation of a belligerent country.
The communication intimates also
that the United States has virtually
acauiesed with the British order IN
council prohibiting commerce with
Germany.
In view OF these considerations. the
German government calls attention to
the fact that the allies are daily OBJ
tanning large shipments Of arms and
ammunition from dealers in the United
states and declare that the American
government, while insisting on its le-
gal right to ship arms to belligerents.
does not with equal energy pursue its
right to ship foodstuHs and non-con-
traband articles to the civilian popula-
ton Of Germany.
The note urges that irrespective Of
the formal aspects of the question OF
shipping arms to helligerents the spirit
OF neutrality should be observed. In
support Of this contention. q quotation
is cited from President Wilson'S ad-
dress to congress on Mexican affairs in
4 August 1913. when he said:
.I shall follow the best practice Of
nations in the matter of neutrality by
fforbidding the expectation Of arms or
munitions Of war OF any kind from the
United States to any part Of the re-
spnblic Of Mexico-a policy suggested
BY several interesting precedents and
certainly dictated by many manifest
considerations of practical expediency.
sa5 s I'VE cannot In the circumstances be
partisans Of either party Of the contest
which now distracts Mexico or consti-
tute ourselves the virtual umpire be-
tween them"
Officials Of the state department
have begun the preparation Of re-
ply. which will be delivered shortly to
Count Won Bernstorn, the German am
bassador here.
