 c. Ruling.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Proposed com motlity rate increases of all sorts throughout the east were disposed of temporarily today by the interstate commerce commission with, blanket order suspending the operation of the rates until Dec. 30. IA selected list of articles was excluded. Most of the proposed increases were slated to be come effective today or within a few days.
 By its exclusion of the selected list
 the commission in effect temporarily
 approved increased rates on alcohol,
 aluminium, coal tnd coke, fertilizer material, grain and grain products, iron ore,@ iron and steel articles, pig iron, leather, lime, live stock, lumber and hogs, petroleum and its products, packing house products and sugar. The proposed increases cover num- erous individual cases on virtually all railroads in the eastern section of the cSuntry and for the most part are small. By its suspension of the pro- posed rates in a blanket order the commission is following out it's policy of granting no further increases in rates until such increases have been tcarefully investigated.

Jealous Over Woman Whom He Commercialzed In
 spired Bruno's Attack.

The police today state that the mo- tive for the killing of Frank Otanvier of Manlaroneck, NY, by Chas. Bruno, an alleged white slaver and cadet, whose profits from the proceeds of womenss shame have netted him suf- ficfent money to own an expensive touring car, was due to jealousy.
 Bruno, it appears, had been away from Bridgeport several days and in his absence a woman well known in the underworld and supposed to be the wife of the <slasher, posing as Mollie Bruno, developed a fondness for Otanvier She has been arrested for keeping disorderly houses.
 Fearing that he would lose the source of his income if Otanvier won the affections of the woman, Bruno on meeting Otanvier slashed him from ear to ear at Gilbert and Water streets, yesterday afternoon. He then fled to garage in Lafayette street where he keeps his touring car. The machine was out of, order and he borrowed car from the manage ment.
 The machine was found deserted in Brooklawn but Bruno has not been seen since. The injured man will re- cover from his injuries according te doctors at St. Vincent's hospital.
