HONEYMOON HORRORS
Bride of Torpedoed Ships Captain

THE lieutenant in command of the
submarine expressed regret that he
was obliged to sink the ship fifty miles
from the nearest land. Precisely why
he was so obliged was not apparent in
view of the circumstances. His action
necessitated woman being left to the

NEW RATE SCHEDULE
Inter- Mountain Cases Placed Before
Railroads by 1. c. c.

Washington, March 13.-The inter-
state commerce commission has placed
before all railroads concerned pro-
posaIs looking to the permanent solu-
ton of the inter-mOuntain rate cases.
The plan provides for the abolition OF
preferential rates in existence for
MANY wears on many articles of west
bound transcontinental freight to Pa
cific coast ports.
Existing rates on wide range on
commodities from eastern cities to
Pacific coast ports are found unrea-
sonably low and adjustment would be
effected under the proposed plan by
raising thru rates and prescribing pro-
portienal rates to intermediate points.
Present thru rates on a long list
of other articles, including brass,
bronze or copper goods, electrical
goods, certain iron products, pulp
wood, lumber, wheat, rice, tea and to-
bacco are found to be reasonable and
adjustment of rates to intermediate
points would be made by reducing
the present rates where they exceed
thru rates.
The railroads are given until April
2 to submit proposed changes in the
plan. The case will be argued before
the commission April and 4.
The suggestion is made to carriers
that carload commodity rates from
territory west thereof be graded with
distance applying rates not higher
than fifty-five. seventy, eighty and
ninety per cent of the present coast
rates to the territory within six hun
dred. nine hundred and fifty, thirteen
hundred and sixteen hundred and fifty
miles from the Missouri river.
