NEW RATES ARE SUSPENDED.
Proposed Tariffs on Iron and Steel Will
Be Investigated.

WASHINGTON, Sept. SO.-Tariffs of
railroads in the middle West ana East
proposed increases Of and cents n
hundred pounds on iron and steel ar
ticles from Chicago, Pittsburg, and
other points to the Atlantic seaboard
and to Gulf ports for export, were sus-
pended yesterday by the interstate com
.nerce commission until January %,
pending investigation. The suspended
tariffs would affect large volume of
the shipments to European belligerents.
The proposed increases have been
vigorously fought by shippers, who CON
tended that they were without justifi-
cation, and an attempt by the carriers
to take some of the profits of the iron
and, steel business. One company csti-
mated that its loss under outstanding
contracts, if the advances became eff
feetivc, would be 100000. The rail
roads claimed that they had made a

This extract from, public statement
bv Mexico 8 secretary of finance, re-
ceived here yesterday by the Mexican
consulate, presents the official attitude
of the Carranza government toward
owners of Mexican mines, whether Mex
leans or foreigners. The statement Is
issued in defense of CarranZa s decree
of May l Of this year which, under
penalty of confscation, lays imposts and
working conditions on the mines that
have caused foreign owners to make
strong representations to their home
governments.
These complaints have been carried
to Atlantic City, where the joint COM
mission is sitting. The statement makes
clear that the Carranza government will
not consider special pleas to escape the
effects Of the decree.

The Pennsylvania railroad claimed
as one of its reasons for the increases
that it has to enlarge its terminals ia

Baltimore to handle export trade, at an
outlay of $25,000,000, and that deliv-

Find at Portland, Me-, Be-
lieved to Indicate Pres
ence of Submarine
PICKED UP IN HARBOR
BY TEN-YEAR OLD BOY
Sergeant Mas Jensen of Fort William,
Who Served in the German Navy,
Says There Is No Doubt 1t Was from
German Vessel

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 3O.-A life
preserver or fender painted with the
name Bremen in letters of the Ger
man style and decorated with the de-
vice of the German crown was washed
ashore here early last night.
There is every reason to believe it
was from the undersea freighter which
was expected to repeat the Deutsch-
land s feat in crossing the Atlantic
with dyestutfs and medicine. Of course
there is no way of knowing whether
the craft met with an accident or
whether it was destroyed by allied
cruisers, but apparently it disposes of
the report that the Bremen had been
captured and taken to a French or
English port.
The life preserver or fender was
picked up in Portland harbor, near the
Cape Elizabeth shore, by ten-year-old
boy 1t is of the familiar "doughnut -
shape, about fifteen and one-half inches
in diameter and bears the following
inscription on both sides, in bold, black
| letters two inches high:
"Bremen' 'Shutz-marke "V.
Epping Hoven' b" Wilhelmshaven, " be-
sides the small German crown.
The life preserver was shown to
Sergt Hans Jensen at Fort Williams,
| who has served in the German navy. He
said there was no doubt that it was
| from German naval vessel.
Reports that the Bremen had started
had not started, had been captured, had
| not been captured, had been sighted
had not been sighted, have been print
| ed in bewildering succession since the
dav the Deutschland came into BaIti-
more, July 9. When the Deutschland
put out to sea August . the rumors
multiplied.
The only tangible facts to be obtained
were that the Eastern Forwarding com
pany really did expect another mer
chant submarine, that pier at New
London had been leased for its use anC
that the company had chartered a New
London tug to watch for the undersei
trader.
In France and III England the belief
is held firmly that the Bremen was cap
tured, according to passengers who
landed Thursday from the White Stal
liner Baltic. In France the story runs
that the submarine is tied up in the
harbor of Brest. In England official.
are more reticent as to details, but sale
Americans could be certain they neveI
would see the Bremen.
i Dispatches from Berlin Thursday salt
President Kaempf of the reichstag ex
planned to the members of that bod,
that the report published there that TIL
Bremen had arrived at an American
port safely was due TO misinterpreta
tion of despatch which told of a tn;
departing from New London to NEE
what was supposed to be the freighter
but proved not to be.
