INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
DECISION HITS 147 INDUSTRIAL RVS.

Washington. July 1.-THE Inter-
state Commerce Commission announc-
ed Saturday d decision affecting 1i7
industrial railways in official classif-
cation territory. which is north of the
Ohio River and east of the Mississippi
River.
The decision fixes the status of the
industrial railways generally as that
of common carriers and requires trunk
lines. of which these industrial lines
are feeders, to restore through routes
and joint rates and in other ways
treat the industrial lines as common
carriers. entitled TO share in the rates,
proportionate to the service rendered.
The longest Industrial line affected
by the order is the Algon.a Central
and Hudson Bay which has a mile
age of $50. The shortest is the To-
ledo. Angola and Western, which has
a trackage of little more than II
miles.
The case was submitted to the
Commission in February. II grew out
of the action of the trunk lines in fiji
ing tariffs which cancelled joint rates
with and allowances to all industriaily
owned lines.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-07-12

The commission. following the deci-
sion Of the United, States supreme
court in the tap lines case, orders the
trunk lines TO cancel on or before
July Is the tariffs affecting the Joint
rates and all wances to the industrial
lines.
1t is estimated that there is $780,
100000 invested in these industrial
lines in official classificatio territory.
The commission does not concede that
all of them are to be classed as COM
mon carriers, but the effect Of the
decision IS TO give most of them that
status. The trunk lines probably will
have TO pay over to the industrial
lines, most of which are owned by the
industrial corporations which they
serve, proportionate shares of rates
for transportation in the aggregate all
the way from 100000 10 $4,000, 900
a year.
One of these industrial lines serves
the International Paper Co. some of
them in northern Ohio are used by
steel plants: others are necessary to
the operation OF lumber companies.

ARCHBISHOP JAMES E. QUIGLEf
OF CHICAGO DIES AT ROCHESTER

seph's Cathedral at Buffalo. where he
remained for IL years. After a short
time as pastor of st. Bridget's church
at Buffalo he was made Bishop Of
Buffalo in 1897.
He was particularly influential
among the Polish dock workers Of
Buffalo. who were almost all Catho-
lies. He rendered service Of great i'm
portance as mediator during the
long and bitter dock strike and sue
ceeded in lessening the rioting and
disorder.
.Henceforth the docks Of Buffalo
shall be my pulpit" he said during the
labor troubles. His attitude toward the
dock workers won their deep admira-
ton and respect.
When in 1903 he was installed as
Archbishop of Chicago the selection
was greeted with expressions OF ap-
prevail from people all over the coun-
try who had read of his work in Buff
faio. Since his appointment many
parish schools, colleges and academies
have been founded by him in Chicago.
More than 10000 pupils attend these
institutions. Archbishop Quigley also
established dispensaries. hospitals.
homes and day nurseries for the poor
of his diocese.

BOGUS CHECKS ARE
PASSED ON PAINTERS
CITY OF PORTLAND

Portland. Me-. July 11.-WRhin the
past week three paint stores in town
have been buncoed by a clever check
game, although it is not a new one,
according TO the police authorities.
The police have the checks and brief
statement Of the facts surrounding
each case and have been looking for
the man, but so far without success.
1t is thought that having worked the
game to about the limit he has left
town.
In each instance the methods used
to secure the money were the same.
A we'll dressed man of favorable APP
pearance would enter and order
large assortment of paints and paint
ing materials amounting 10 from $40
to SIS. Then he would produce in pay
ment a check for SIS. made out by
another to himself which he would
endorse in an entirely different hand
writing than that in whicH it was
made out. In each instance reported
to the police he received $40 or $50
coming to him in change, and left the
paints he had purchas ed to be called
for later.

grain growers. exasperated by ever in
creasing ocean freight rates. sought
to induce the federal government 10
embark upon policy of government
owned and operated ocean freighters.
The question was seriously discussed,
but action delayed until the Domin-
ions Royal Commission-an imperial
trade investigating body-reported on
ocean freight rates. The war disor-
ganized the work of the commission,
and sent rates higher UP than ever.
1t is hardly likely that the Domin-
ion government will take any action
whatever for the present, at least not
while the war is in progress, but with
the opening up Of the Hudson Bay
route, it is not altogether unlikely that
some scheme along the lines advocat-
ed by the millers and Canada's trans
portation system enlarged by gov
eminent line of freighters plying out
of Halifax and ST. John in connection
with the state owned railway which
now taps the prairie country at Win
nipeg.

In other words, the Berlin answer is
deliberate humbug. 1t is humbug when
it loudly inveighs-through the greater
part Of the note-agairst the crimes of
the allies in SURPRISING the liberty Of
the seas and ssctimoniously laucs the
virtuous murders that the Won Tirpitz
submarines commit at the instisation
of Germany's enemies.
1t is humbug when it proposes that
our government agree to restrict the
traffic of American vessels to "legiti-
mate shipping and will guarantee that
our vessels carrying passengers have
no contrabend on board"
The Berlin answer is all humbpg be-
cause 1t craitily makes friendly sug-
gestions fo- arrangements which 1t is
sure will rot and cannot be accepted,
but, at the same time, carefully re-
fra,.s from making one downright re-
fusal of our demands which might
force these protracted negotiations OF
into the swift action OF war.
The Berlin note is humbug because
it means to settle nothing, aiming to
carry on this discussion perhaps until
the war itself is ended, yet voluntarily
from more violations of our
rights and murders Of our citizens so
that We shall have no fresh cause to
drive us to war.

New York, July 1.-THE $4,000 de-
~ Siegel & Co. fear that they will
not get more than the 10 cents al
ready paid to them from the estates
Of Henry Siegel and Frank E. Nogel.
At meeting of the depositors Sat-
urday morning before Referee Stanley
W. Dexter in the United States dis
trict court the disheartening an
nouncement was made tina, the Siegel
store in Boston had submitted a
claim Of s2,o00.000 against the estates
for broken lease. SO that the $4,000
now held by the trustees in bankrupt
cy will scarcely be sufficient TO pay
further dividends to the depositors.
We may be fortunate enough to
cut this claim down. said Mr.. Dex-
ter, or to effect favorable arbitra
ton, but at best it looks as though
there will be precious little left for
the depositors.'
However, Clifford 6. Ludvigh, a
lawyer. has been retained to fight the
Boston claim.
When the trustees made their re-
port Saturday some of the depositors
angrily said that they wanted two
weeks time in which to frame charges
against the three trustees, William
Henkel, Jr, John King and George l.
Sanborn. The depositors asserted that
the trustees had neglected their in
terests and had acted in a way that
was detrimental 20 the estates.

HOPE vANISHES FOR $4,000 SIEGEL
DEP0SIT0RS--T TRUSTEES kSSA|LED

The report to which the depositors
objected was made orally by MIR. Hen
KEEL He announced that the amount on
hand belonging to the Siegel bank was
81, 1868. The balance of the assets of
Henry Siegel individually. he said, was
sI4,502, and balance Of assets of the
late Frank Z. Vogel. Siegefs former
partner, 1925. He explained that the
creditors of Siegel and Vogel individ-
ually will have claim on these assets
before the bank depositors.
An appraisal of the outside stocks
and securities held by the banking
partners showed that they were prac-
tically worthless. Trustee Henkel said
he would accept 50 for the $4,000 worth
Of Siegel Stores Corporation stock,
while he valued Frank E. V4gel's out
side stocks at s25oo and Siegel's at
s5ls5. Siegels life insurance policies
have been returned TO the companies
for the cash surrender value. but Mrs
Siegel, who is now in Europe, must
consent to this.
MI Henkel denied, in answer to
queries. that the trustees had received
Eenkers automobiles. bonds and min
ing shares. also denied that he had re-
ceived from the receiver more than 10
shares of stock in the National Bank
Of the Republic in Chicago.
Referee Dexter gave the depositors
permission to file objections to the
trustees report within the next few
days.

CANADA HAS FAVORABLE BALANCE
Of TRADE FIRST Time IN 48 YEARS

Ottawa. Ont, July u.-For the first
Canada can boast of a favorable balance
of trade. For the two first months OF
the fiscal year, April and May-June fig
ures are not yet ayailable-there is a
preponderance of exports over imports OF
100000. This balance. while not large,
is in striking contrast to the usual pre-
dominance of imports in the past, and is
all the more remarkable when ii is con-
sidered that the period Of the country's
greatest export trade for the year has
not yet arrived.
Exports of the products of the mine,
forest, fisheries and farm, all show sub
stantial increases, but it is in manufac-
tured goods that the greatest gains have
been made. In May. 1914, exports Of man
ufactures were only $6,5p0,o0D. but during
the same month this year they were SIS
10000 This considerable gain was in
large measure due to orcers for war mu-
nitions and Equipment from Britain,
France and Russia.
Owing to splendid crop prospects in the
West it is likely that Canada's wheat
export this year will be tremendously
increased. Last year a short crop in the
prairie provinces prevented the exporta-
ton OF agricultural products from assum-
ing large proportions. This year it 10

were fires in a dozen places when The
Associated Press correspondent visit
ed the city today with a Russian gen.
eral and his staff. The revenge on
the Moslems had been worked in spite
of the strict injunctions issued by both
the Russian and Armenian leaders.
The Armenian volunteers were partic-
ulariy enraged because the lMoslems.
and, it Is said. the Jewish merchants
also. betrayed the Armenians. who had
been friendly to the Russians on their
first advance on Bashkala last year.
It is characteristic Of the bitterness
between the two races, that Is Heresan
recruits serving in the Turkish army
were killed outright in the way of re-
prisal when news was received Of the
Turkish defeat at Gilman.
The correspondent has been riding
almost daily with General N Of the
Russian army or Andranik. the Ar
menian leader. in pursuit Of the elu-
sive Turkish army under Hallil Bey.
1t was disclosed today that at least
part of the Turkish forces were in a
superb position on the slope Of a high
mountain. fianked by some still high
er. The Russian artillery succeeded
in sending the forces to cover, but
there was no general engagement.
There has been warm cross firing be-
tween outposts. and on May 20 the
Armenians succeeded in driving the
Kurds from some of their" mountain
strongholds behind Bashkala and from
the eastern side of the pass Of Chukh.
1t yet remains to be seen whether the
Turkish forces, which were shelled to-
day, are Of full strength.
One thing which impresses an Ameri-
can visitor in this region is the excel
lence Of the grain fields Of the upland
plains. AS good as they are in some
places, the country would gain enor-
mously from the application of Ameri-
can irrigation methods and modern ag-
ricultural work. Whatever may be the
issue Of the war. it seems quite pos
sibie that this will come TO pass. for
all Armenians look upon America as

London. July 1l.-At l o'clock Satur-
day subscriptions ranging from Eloo

Britain's latest and the worlds great

official indication of the total sub

Unofficial estimates place the new

with the conversion Of consols and the
old war loan. it is expected, will bring
the aggregate amount asked. This
means that between $4,000, 100000 and

they could not recapture their village,

the remaining population in the pow

at Heresan all winter and used the
women and children as they chose. I'M
mediately after the defeat of the Turk

sion and made an end of such Of the
female and youthful population as they
did not take away in slavery.
In Bashkala there is no one living
now. But lately it was a fiourishing
and picturesque Asiatic city with
many well-stocked stores and comfort
able homes. Many of the houses were
two-story structures Of brick with
tasteful balconies There was an
abundance Of good rugs and some Eu-
ropean furniture. The population COM
