Blackmail Files COnfiscated;

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Many promi-

breathing easier today following the
confiscation of a card index case used
by the blackmailers, some of whom
are supposed to be under arrest here.
''At least twenty names were listed
and opposite each was a note of some
misconduct which the syndicate hoped
to use for extortion,'' said a detective
today, "all those listed were of promi-
ence financially and socially here, but
the names will not be given out" he
said.
Evidence of the syndicate's opera
tions continues to pile up. A wealthy
machinery manufacturer is known to
have become infatuated with a woman
in a cafe. AS the romance waned, the
woman told him she was ill and sug-
gested he send her to the mountains
and give her 100000.

'If you DO not see the justice of
this perhaps your wife wi1l,'' she
wrote him in answer to objections. He
had the woman ShadOwed in New
York and forced her to sign a state
ment that she had lied and absolving
him from further payments.
Another woman hired out as a
stenographer and after several rounds
of cafes demanded 100000 but she
did not get it when a detective ex-
posed her game.

Mr.. Knudsen, a Norwegian ship
broker, has contributed an article on
Norwegian shipping in 1915 to the
|. English magazine, Fair Play. in which
he states that the profits Of the ship
owners last year are without parallel
In the history Of the country. Business
life has been greatly strengthened by
the establishment of permanent ship
routes. A great expansion has been
made in Norwegian shipyards, and the
tonnage turned out from the yards
during the year amounted to 100000
tons. In conclusion Mr.. Knudsen
says: Norway has made much money
during the war, but 1t must not be
overlooked that the taxes, high enough
in peace times, have been largely in
creased by the war, so that now the
ship owners are paying out 80 per cent
of their income in taxes.
While the fire at Molde, one of the
leading tourist cities of Norway, was
not of the magnitude of the Bergen
fire, 1t was great disaster and has
caused perhaps as much suffering, the
majority OF those who lost their
property being poor people, who car
ried little or no insurance. The or
igin of the Molde fire is still mys-
terry, unlike that of the Bergen FIRE,
but 1t is suspected that it was started
by incendiaries. Norwegian-Ameri-
cans OF Minneapolis and elsewhere
have begun raising funds for the relief
Of the unfortunate of the two stricken
cities of Norway. just as they did for
those who lost their all In the Aale-
sund fire number of years ago.

| the fire is supposed to have originated
from overheated stoves. The fire took
place during the Christmas vacation.
and, due to the absence Of many
members of the student volunteer fire
department, the flames could not be
checked. At the time when Falsen
wrote his draft Of the constitution the
house was standing on the old Volle-
back district court seat. Falsen being

Denmark.
Denmark, says an exchange, pos
sesses the greatest butter export and
in a sense. owes this distinction to the
powerful competition Of American
grains in the seventies, which forced
the Danes to turn from bread produc-
tion and to concentrate their efforts
upon the production of butter for the
bread. Denmark exports more than
180,000,000 pounds of butter yearly,
and its fancy buffers are the finest
made. 1t also acts as middleman for
great quantities of Finnish and Rus
sian butter. The small northern king
dom has sold increasing quantities OF
butter, cream and milk in the German
market since the outbreak of the war.
Mr.. Some, the well-known Danish
author and economist, states in the
Nationaltidende that the crops of 1915
are record-breaking, not for their mag
nitude, but for the amount they
brought in money. The income from
the sale Of live stock was twice as
great as during normal year.
The death rate among the veterans
of 1864 is increasing rapidly. For in
stance, year ago 80 veterans of Ran
der's "Amtstue" received the govern
ment pension, while now there are
left only 29. In a few years all but a
few Of Denmark's worthy defenders
will have passed away.
The special military tax imposed by
the Danish government amounted to
162. 900 crowns for the city Of Aalborg
The ordinary tax for that city amount
ed to 100000 crowns last year. but has
increased to $4,000 crowns.

RELIEVING FREIGHT CONGESTION.

The committee OF eastern railway representatives re-
Gently appointed to consider methods for relieving freight
congestion has approved resolution providing that
port bills of adng shall only be issued when based on
written contracts for bottoms Much of the congestion at
New York has been due to pilng up of freight awaiting
export Many shippers in the west anxious to close
tracts took chance and shipped goods for export without
that bottoms available. Under the terms
Of the resolution freight for export may be kept IN
fifteen days after its arrival at seaboard after which time
regular storage charges will be made
DemuTTage rates tidewater coal revised as
abrdge the free time and encourage quicker
Elevator storage charges export grain increased
ascending scale because Of the practice Of
shippers of holding grain in elevators indefinitely Freight
destined to New York harbor for domestic ghterage must
hereafter be consigned to specific destination and if
ordered to another delivery feconsgnment charge will
be made if the recommendations Of the committee
proved
All of the plans recommended by the committee in
vove increase in for the railroads. which might
be able to help further by providing for notifying
sgnees OF the arrival of promptly and by arranging
to ''spot for unloading without delay An unfortu
nate aspect OF the present congestion is that it is said
be caused in great part by lack of shipping facilities 1t
is bad enough to have shortage of bottoms but there
real why this should also shortage in
freight No freight should be shipped to New
York for export than there are facilities to carry abroad
Every used and tied up in New York terminals

this about WILL of course be scutinzed by the interstate
commerce commission 1t is noticeable that the railroads
are showing willingness to cooperate with the business
