definitely the 21s-cent passenger rate
per mile on interstate traffic which
was to have gone into effect March l,
were received by agents of the Milwau-

merce commission, which granted the
raise of 1a-cent a mile, also called off
the plan pending a series of hearings
on the question which are to be held
at Chicago by member of the COM
mission beginning some time in May.
Travelling men have protested Wig
orously against the raise. V. j.
Schoenecker, Jr., Milwaukee, on be-
half of the Travelling Mems Protective
association, recently filed protest
with the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Wisconsin railroads, spurred by the
raise on interstate business granted
by the national commission, had petit
toned the Wisconsin legislature for
the repeal of the Badger law which
forbids roads to charge more than 2
cents a mile in Wisconsin. This ac-
ton will probably be dropped now.

were tremendously interested to learn
that the Ammerican cotton steamer Da-

been seized by French cruiser and
taken to Brest The capture of the
Dacia causes no surprise in Washing
ton, and even the fact that French
instead of an English warship would
take her into custody had been fore
seen. But this transfer of the ques-
ton of the ships status combined with
the already intricate points in the Da-
cha transfer from German to American
registry bids fair to make an interna-
tional case of unusual interest.
Edward N Breitung, an American,
bought the Dacia from the Hamburg
American company, secured American
registry replaced the German crew
and undertook to lay down a. cargo OF
cotton in the German port of Bremen.
The German destination of the Dacia
on her first voyage under American
registry aroused British fears lest
American registry be used simply as a
shield to permit the ship to reach a
German port, where she would resume
her discarded nationality. To meet
this objection Mr.. Breitung changed
his routing to the Dutch port Of Rot
terdam.
