IRON ORE Rates
ARE TOO HIGH
Cut Ordered by Interstate
Commerce Commission.
DECISION OF IMPORTANCE

Ruling Affects Heavy Traffic in North
ern Nine sofa and Indirectly Hits
Steel corpora ration Which Controls
the Carrying Lines.
Washington, April 2S.-The exist
Ing rate of 60 cents a long ton on
iron ore from mines on the Mesabi
range in Minnesota to vessels at Two
Harbors and Duluth, Mimi, and AL
louez Bay, Wis, was pronounced un-
reasonable by the interstate COM
merce commission and the Great
Northern and other railroads were or
dered to establish rate of not more
than 80 cents.
No finding was made by the com
mission on the rates from mines in
the vermillion and Guyana. ranges,
but representatives of the Guyana
range, however, the commissions re-
port declares, said during the prog
ress of the case that even if no order
is entered with respect to that range
the rate for the Mesabi would be con-
trolling.
The case is one of the most i'm
portant decided by the commission in
several months The Great Northern
alone carried 100000 long tons of
ore to docks from Minnesota mines in
1913.
The report says the United States
Steel corporation indirectly controls
the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad
company and the Duluth, Missabe and
Northern Railway company and owns
the larger portion of ore shipped over
them, and that this fact demands a
strict Interpretation of any standard
of reasonableness which is adopted,
although the right of these roads to
earn fair return upon the property
devoted to public use is not ques
toned"
1t was argued that rate In excess
of a reasonable rate would be tanta-
mount to a rebate to the United
States Steel corporation and that was
not contradicted by the carriers.
The commissions investigation dis
closed immense earnings by the
roads.

REPORT DENIED BY POPE
Won Buelow Did Not Visit Pontff to
Bid Farewell.

Rome. April 2S.-Both the Vatican
and Prince Won Buelow. German am
bassador to Italy, deny the report
printed in the Paris Figaro April 20

Pope Benedict to bid the pontiff fare
we'll, believing his departure from
Rome was imminent.
Prince Won Buelow was in Germany
when Pope Benedict was elected and
never has seen the pontiff. The
etiquette of the Vatican since the fall

income Tax This Year Likely to Ex-
ceed $4,000, 900.

Washington, April 2S.-Administra-
ton officials were optimistic over
prospects that the income tax this
year will yield an amount consider
ably in excess of the original esti-
mate of $S0000.000.
This optimism was based on full
preliminary estimates of the treas
ury department from internal reye-
nue. collectors throughout the coun-
try, which placed the sum to be col
lected from the individual and cor
poration tax at $S0,035,000.

Possible Outcome of Great
Battle in Flanders.
TEUTONS TAKING REVENGE
Operations Considered of Sufficient
Importance to Offset the Allied Vic.
tory at Nueve ChapelIe-Germans
Also Active at St Mihiel.

London, April 2S.-The English pub
lie. hoping that the most violent
phase of the German offensive along
the User canal has been witnessed, is
turning it's attention again to the Oar
danelles, where the landing of troops
still is under way. Russia is lending
earnest cooperation by bombarding
the forts of the Bosphorus, where a
Turkish battleship is reported to have
made but a feeble reply.
No attempt is made here to mini
mize the importance of the German
operations in Flanders, which have
been declared to be at least an ample
revenge for the British victory last
month at Neuve Chapelle. The Bel
gian official report claims the repulse
of three German attacks south of Dix
nude. which indicate that the German
contention that their advance was
made over a front extending from
Ypres to Dixmude was accurate.
One official German communication
CldllHtu the iFNdpNuiS VI i-A"oi ~
from the French. but the Belgian re-
port made subsequently, asserts that
possession of the town was won for
a second time and that the French
were greatly assisted in the assault
bp Belgian artillery.
Bore of Fierce Contention.
Tizerne ON the western side of the
canal, has been a bone of fierce con
tention, having changed hands four
times in the course of the present
fight. It's importance is due to the
fact that it's possession would give
the Germans an important hold on
that side of the canal and would COM
pei the allies to readjust their line.
That the possible outcome of the
fighting along the User is causing
anxiety i'm England is indicated by the
demand of the press that the govern
ment expedite the sending of new
army to France.
A strong German offensive is under
way also at St Mihiel Thus the two
points where the German offensive
ceased before Christmas-on the
User and at st. Mihiel-have been
chosen for the resumption of activi-
ties in the spring.
1t remains to be seen, however,
whether these points have been Sc
lected as feints while the main on
slaught is made elsewhere
