WILSON TELLS
o. Or: ! VIEWS ON
INTERVENTION
Interstate Commerce Commission
Would Not Be Remedy for
Impending Strike.
LAW DOES NOT COVER
THIS PART OF ISSUE

Boston, Mass, Aug. 14.-An inqui-
ry by the interstate commerce com
mission into the threatened railroad
strike would not be- remedy for the
crisis at the present moment, Presi-
dent Wilson said in a letter received
by President Charles F. Weed Of the
B'ostOn Chamber of Commerce today.
The communication, dated August II,
follows: u.
.My Dear Mr.. Weed: Allow me to
acknowledge the receipt of your tele-
gram Of August 8, conveying to me
the vote of the Boston Chamber of
Commerce recommending that the
interstate commerce commission be
instructed by congress to ascertain
the facts in the pending railroad con-
troversy.
"You need not doubt that the full
Importance and gravity OF the now
acute controversy between the rail-
roads and their employees has been a
constant subject of thought and con
ference with me, or that l have been
trying to make sure that no means
of assisting settlement was over
looked.
There is no compulsion Of law
available by which we could oblige
either party to the controversy to
await the finding of an inquiry by the
interstate commerce commission, and
it seems to me that such an inquiry
Is not remedy at the moment.
"As write, conferences are in
progress in New York City between
the two parties to the controversy
and the federal, board of mediation
and Cancellation, and l am hourly
awaiting a report from those confer
ences before determining what is my
duty.

SAYS TRADER. STUNC
SON IN HORSE DEAL

Mrs. Florence A. Phenis AYERS that
her son, Virgil NJ. Phenis, aged 19,
was "stung" in a horse trade by Ben
jamin F. Moore, and this afternoon a
jury is passing on the virtue Of the
allegation she set for in a replevin
action. The case is being tried in
Justice Strayer's court.
Mrs Phenis asserts that her son
traded a horse valued at $45, and a
gold ring, worth dollar, for good
measure, in exchange for nag which,
she claims, is almost unfit for service.
Mrs. Phenis charges that Moore only
paid 81 for the horse he wished upon
her son. She says that she demanded
a return of the horse Moore obtained
in the trade, but he refused to give it
to her She is asking the jury either
to have this horse returned to or
compel Moore to pay her $45.

tfonal bank. two years prior to the ma.
turity, which would be March. 1927, by
increasing the plants sinking fund
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually, and
to provide at the same time a twenty
five per cent reduction in electric
lighting and power rates, is to be sub
mitted TO council this evening by the
board of public works. A report out
lining the boards plan has been pre-
pared by President Bavis
The plans call for the issuance of
refunding bonds, bearing four per cent
interest, $4,000 being retired annually
between September /, 1918, and Sep
tember l, 1925. 1t is estimated that
through such a refunding bond issue
the saving to the city would be, in COM
parison to interest payments if the
construction bonds were permitted to

date fixed for the maturing of the last

plans are changed at the last moment
1t will not again be subject to cabinet
scrutiny
That Germany has made suggestions
to this government through ambassa-
dor Gerard dealing with the subma-
rine cases pending is known. These
suggestions. however, are held con-
fidential and neither at the white
house nor at the state department
will they be discussed. The natural
assumption. of course, Is that the Ger
man government is making every eff
fort to prevent crisis being forced
Press dispatches from Berlin all
agree on this, it being asserted as
fact that Germany will assume respon-
sibility for the Sussex torpedoing if
the evidence of the United States is
as conclusive as President Wilson and
his advisers are understood to con-
side it.

The members of the senate and
house foreign relations committee to-
day were waiting word from Presi
dent Wilson as to when he wanted
them to discuss the situation. 1t was
expected that an engagement would
be made late this afternoon or tonight
but that was up to the president, and
he had not yet definitely approved
the completed text Of the communca-
tion prepared by Secretary Lansing
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, was still without word
from his government as to any new
developments in the Sussex case. He
refused to comment on the situation,
but said that he was at the service
of Secretary Lansing in any way that
the latter might desire.
