Trade. In a protest wired to the in
terstate commerce comm yesterday
Griffin assaiIed that body for fail
ure to make good its promises to re-
IieVe conditions which threaten ca
lamity." Griffin also charged the
railroad interests with discriminate
ing against Chicago in favor Of Min
neapolis in their shipments.
In commenting on his protest to
the CONN, Griffin said:
There are 100000 bushels Of
grain in Chicago today. Awaiting
shipment to Chicago are 100000
to 100000 bushels more. There
will be no relief from the present
price mutations until food distribu-
ton is more nearly normal
Recently there has been much ad-
vertising of the efforts Of the inter-
state commerce commission and rail-
roads jointly to relieve conditions by
providing cars for movement Of grain
and other foOdstUffs.
81 have no besitancy in declaring
that both the commission and the
railroads are completely Overwhelm-
ed and have lost grasp Of the situa-
ton. The intervention of the inter-
state commerce commission has been
harmful and its method of relief has
been without substantial result"
In suggesting a remedy President
Griffin said:
1.-The law should be so amended as
to strictly confne the commissions
activities to insUring equality Of rates
and service.
THE department Of justice is a
very active body, and think to them
should be left any violations of the
law on the part Of the railroads or
shippers.
ct must not be forgotten that the
present demoralized food situation
will eventually apply to all commo-

PILOT CRAZED BY
U-BOATS, ENDS LIFE
Officer Famed as Submarine
Dodger Leaps From
Vessel
BROUGHT GOLD SHELL
THROUGH MURDER ZONE

His nerves overwrought as re-
suit Of his experience Of two years
in lodging German submarines, John
j. O'Neill. chief officer of the steam
ship San Ramen, jumped to his death
in the Delaware river from the bridge
of the vessel while she lay at anchor
off New Castle, Del. late Saturday
night. He was drowned before mem
bers Of the crew could even attempt
his rescue.
According to Captain William S.
Pearson, in command OF the San
Ramen, O'Neill had piloted more ships
across the Atlantic ocean since the
beginning OF the war than any other
man. He had been successful in
lodging submarines with every charge,
although several times he had narrow
escapes. The fact that he had to be
on duty night and day for weeks is
believed to have shattered his ner-
vous system.
The pilot was a Philadelphian and
lived at No. 2233 Pemberton street.
He was 3S years old and leaves a
widow and two children. When Mrs.
O'Neill learned OF her husbands tragic
death she collapsed.
The sailor returned to Philadelphia
several weeks ago with the. Gold
Shell, owned by the Anglo American
Oil Company. While off the French
coast the Gold Shell had a thrilling
experience with a German U-boat
and made her escape with difficulty.
O'Neill was graduated with highest
honors from the schoolship Saratoga
in 1900. Until the opening of the war
he acted as pilot for vessels in coast
wise trade. Afterwards he became
such an expert in eluding the subma-
rines that his services we're in con-
slant demand for that work.

PASTOR CALLS Youth
TO NATIONS DEFENSE
DR.. Randolph Hopes for
Victory for the Lamb
Over the Beast
PREDICTS UNION OF
ALL CHRISTIANS

Taking for his subject "The Battle
of Armagoddon," the Rev. Herbert f.
Randolph, d. d., pastor Of the Grace
NJ f. Church preached an eloquent
war time sermon last ght The
Kaiser and Prussian militarism were
bitterly arraigned DR. Randolph
spoke Of the conflict which has been
waged since the time Of Christ be-
tween the beast and the lamb and he
stirred the hearts of his hearers when
he fervently prayed that the youth
of the land might take up the armor
la aside by their fathers and stand
for the right and bring about a glor-
ious victory for the lamb
For twenty-five years the spiritual
forces of the world have been re-
ceding and the materialistic forces
have been coming to the foreground. "
DR. Randolph said "The Bible says
there shall be two great leaders in the
conflict. One the beast and the other
the lamb, and so we see them today.
The beast seeking to devour and de-
stroy all the elements of Christianity
and faith Then the lamb willing TO
make the greatest sacrifices for the
cause OF justice and righteousness and
the truth. The beast. a vile creature
is endeavoring to dominate the world
through persecution. The lamb is al
ways sacrificing and giving innocent
blood for the cause OF truth"
Or Randolph predicted a great
mobilization OF the forces for moral
ity. He said that within twenty
years he believed there would be a
unifcatiOn of religions in which all
denominations will be forgotten, and
in which the Roman Catholic will
worship beside members of the So
ciety Of Friends, and the host OF
others.

sonaI life history Of the men who
will make American hstory-the
men who will command the forces

Germany.
Admiral Henry Thomas Mayo, com
mander Of the Atlantic fleet, probably
will be the first to taste actual war
fare with Germany. His ships are
ready. waiting for a hostile submarine
or raider to show the teeth of Uncle
Sam.
Until the famous "Tampico Incl
dent" Mayo was little known outside
naval circles. He first attracted ma
tion-wide attention early in 1914, when
as head Of the squadron off the Mexi-
can port OF Tampico, he demanded
that Huerta. then de facto president
OF Mexico, release the crew OF sailors
he had arrested and salute the Amer
lean flag
Huerta released the crew. but re-
fused 10 salute. Mayo took Vera Cruz
and held the city until Huerta was
forced out OF office.
Mayo is a sandy-haired native OF
Burlington. VT, where he was born
Dec. 8. 1856. and comes Of fighting

If the hunger march comes off as
planned, it means that the telegraph
wires of the big press associations
will advertise throughout the world
that people are so poor in Chicago
that they are asking the head of the
city government for aid against the
food hogs. They can't stand the high
cost of living much longer.
A circular calling the women to
protest has been circulated widely
over the West Side. It reads:
Great protest demonstration
against the high cost of living will be
held Saturday, March 10, at 8 a. m.
All women who feel the burden of
the high cost Of living will assemble.
Prominent speakers will address the
women and explain the purpose of

women will parade to the City Hall
and a committee will present our re-

HOW ALLEGED WHITE SEAVERS
Piled THEIR TRADE
One of the favorite stunts Of the
Saratoga hotel alleged white slave
gang in trapping girls was to have
one of the pack of wolves represent
himself as a reporter for the Tribune.
When the girl victim had been
Iured to room 500 of the Saratoga on
promise of a good job with travel
ing theatrical company, an attempt
was made to attack her after the
doors of the room had been securely
bolted.
If the girl was a hard one to get
around, often a member Of the gang
would knock at the door when the
struggle to despoil the girl was on.
''Who is it?" the gangsters in the
room would ask.
ga reporter for the Tribune. What
is going on in there?" would be the
answer.
Then the members of the gang
would tell the girl to be quiet or the
newspaper man on the outside would
call the police and the door would be
broken down and the whole affair
would be printed in the Tribune.
This argument, according to at
taches Of the states att'y's office,
often forced the girl to do the bid
ding of the men when all other
means had failed.
Two more arrests were made by
police from the states attorneys Of
flee last night on the Saratoga case.
A woman and man were taken. They
are said to be members of the most d
powerful white slave gang that has
been unearthed in Chicago in years.
Their names were withheld by the
prosecutors Office because at least
four others are sought in connection
with the stories told by Marian and
Charlotte Palmer, two girls who fell
into the Wiles of the wolves when
