(. RATE INCREASES
Conference of Attorneys General
ofWestern States to Be Held
December %.
MEETING WILL BE ..a~
...... HELD IN OMAHA, NEB.
Recent Decision Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission Will
Be Attacked.

The recent decision of the Inter-
state Commerce commission in the
western passenger case, has raised
some very far reaching and import
ant questions, affecting both state and
interstate regulations Of common car
riers. The decision as far as western
states goes, is the most important
and far reaching that has been hand.
ed down by the commission. "
For the purpose of fighting increas-
es, in passenger fares, and attacking
other points of law in the recent de-
cision, wherein it is believed the COM
mission made some serious errors, a
meeting of the attorneys general and
the railroad commissions of the states
affected by the decision has been call
ed for Wednesday, December %, at
Omaha, Neb. The sessions will be
held at the Loyal hotel.
AS the decision affects this state
materially, Attorney General Henry j.
Linde will attend the meeting. The
following questions will be taken up:
(a) Can an appeal be taken from
this order, and if so should it be TAX
en- by the several states independent
ly or collectively?
(b) Can the commission authorize
the increase of rates without finding
specifically that the earnings of the
carriers are inadequate?
(c) The accounting methods used
by the commission for the division of
operating expenses as between freight
and passenger. 1r| .-."
(d) The suggestion of the commits
sion for division of operating ex-
penses between state and interstate.
(e) The suggestion of the commits
sion for an analysis of the passenger
train expense as between local pas
senger coach and dining car, Pullman
car, club car, ETC., expense. g.
.(f) The grouping of strong and
weak lines in one proceeding result
ing in an increase in rates to rail-
roads which are now getting large
returns.

MINOR FIGURE
German P|ottsr Reported TO
Higher-Ups.
PATH LED TO WASHINGTON
Collected Important Documents and
Turned Them over to Represents
tives Of the German oovernnsnt-
Other Arrests Of spys to ss Made.

New York. Dec. 21.-Paul Koenig.
the chief OF the investigators OF the
Hamburg American line, is regarded
by the federal authorities az q minor
figure in the vast German propaganda
carried on in this country. There are
four or FIVE other men in this country
under whose direction Koenig. II 10
charged, worked and for whom he
acted as the chief collector Of informa-
ton in the east and for whom he
worked in carrying on a great mum
ber OF activities, of which the at
tempt to destroy the Welland canal 10
one, and all OF which were aimed to
hinder the allies from getting ammu-
milton and arms from this country.
A vast amount Of evidence has been
gathered through the seizure Of ma
terial in the hands Of Koenig, and .
great deal Of evidence has been OBJ
tanned by the constant shadowing OF
Koenig for many months. One Of the
most striking bits Of information. II
was ascertained. was the fact that
Koenig made frequent trips to Wash
ington, carrying suit cases and even
trunks Of documents.
II 10 said that all these documents
were turned over in Washington to
representatives OF the German govern
ment. These documents came from
various sources. One of the persons
who supplied Koenig with documents
that went to Washington was Fred
erick Schlendiel. the young clerk In
the foreign department Of the Nation

charge of stealing letters valued at
$1,000. The clerk kept Loeniz or p.
X, as he was called by his employees.
with information concerning the
finances of the allies in this country
and concerning the manner in which
funds were paid out for war supplies.
Very few details Of war financing went
through the National City bank that
the young clerk apparently did not
learn about.
But the affairs of the National City
bank was only a part Of the informa-
tion that Koenig gained and distrfbut-
cd to points that would be agreeable
to the German cause. He know In
detail about the cargo Of every ship
to the German cause. He knew in
amount of every part Of the shipment
and the nation for which It was des-
tined.
All these details, after he had gath
cred them. he carried to Washington
and there turned over to certain men
"Koenig 10 a minor figure in the
whole German propasanda," said one
man. despite the fact that he did i'm
portant work" II was admitted that
as a result of the evidence dug up
against Kosnig the mass Of papers
found on him and the story which was
told by Frederick Metzler. Koenig's
private secretary. there will be a
series of indictments returned by the
federal grand Jury within q short
time.
