RATE ADVANCE
CONTINUED from Page One)

This temporary relief. the commls-
sion was told. was desired in the form
of Increased rates on a long list OF
commodities. chief of which was i've
stock. dressed meats. petroleum. grain
and grain products, sand. stone, ce-
mcnt and copper. The proposed in
creascs would apply to traffic east or
the Mississippi and north of the Ohio
rivers. They would not a ect, except
Indirectly and by combination rates in
ether sections Of the country.
Only Temporary Relief
1t is the opinion of the gentlemen
present. said George Stuart Patter-
son. spokesman for the roads, that
any relief which will be secured from
permitting increases in rates on these
commodities will be only temporary
relief and that it is only a question
OF a short time when the needs OF the
Eastern carriers will be brought TO the
attention of the commission in a much
more general and more specific way
than is contemplated in these partlc-
u'ar tariffs"
After the commission disposed last
june of the Is per cent. case the rail-
roads in many instances promptly hled
il dividual tariffs proposing
tho same increases that a been de-
nicd. The docket has many such ap-
Ilications and a number of the pro-
posed tariffs re under suspension.
Commissioner MCChord, seeking to
shorten the way to disposition OF the
railroads request, suggested today
that it might be we'll for the a to
apply for a re-opening of the IS per
cent. case, but withdrew the sugges-
ton upon learning of the number Of
pending cases which would be affected
by such a course.
Chairman Hall Of the commission
suggested at the close of the hearing
that the roads notify the commission
formally Of what they desire in the
way of temporary increases, and said
tina the commission would confer over
methods Of procedure suggested by the
RAIDS and communicate it's decision to
the carriers.
Representatives of shippers asked
that they also he notified Of further de-
velopnents in the case. Chairman Hall
told them it would be done.

Amsterdam. Oct. 1.-THE w.ser
Zeitung (Bremen) publishes an art
Gle by Ma. Hofe, of the German gen
eral staff, on the effect which the en-
trance Of the United States will have
on the war. After reviewing the dim
culties Of the United States in train
ing and Transporting troops to Europe
he declares that the American mili,ary
possibilities may safely be ignored bv
Germany.
before the declaration Of war" he
says the military resources Of the
United states consisted of an irsufR-
clehtlN trained regular armt of onlv
ioo,oeo and a national guard of 10. cor.
hardly trained at all. The yarious
measures taken to increase the army
will result in the formation hv spr,,v
OF an army Of about 1900. 200. which
mas only received minimum training.
70 considerable part OF This army
can reach Europe before unm.-

LISBON MAN STRUCK
BY |. A. & W. FREIGHT
INJURED

Waterville, Me, Oct. IA man who
was identified as Phllias Dehetre Of Lis
bon was struck and killed by the Water
Vile, Augusta & Lewiston car which left
Wednesday night. The accident occurred
in Winslow just over the crossing from
the Proctor & Bowie brick yards and the
man was terribly mangled by the car.
He was picked up by the members of
the car crew and some Of the men who
were in the passenger car which was fol-
lowing and taken INTO the home of Joseph
Libby. A physician who helped to pick
him up pronounced his case hopeless and
death only a matter of a short time. An
other physician was also called and said
that it was impossible to do anything for
him. Both legs We're cut off and his abb
domen was torn open, exposing the intes-
tines, He lived for a short time after the
accident but was unconscious all the
time.
So far as could be learned, no one ex-
Cept the car crew actually saw the ac-
cident. but it is presumed that he was
walking on the track and did not hear
the car or, if he did, thought that it was
a Maine Central train. as the two tracks
are close together there. He laid a long
time in the house before he was identi-
fed, no one Of those about knowing him.
A man from the crew Of the Maine Cen
trail. which is doing repair work in Wins
low. came in after Il time and Immediate
ly identified him as a member of the crew
and was able to give his name and where
he lived. He said that he thought the
man had a wife and three children living
in Lisbon but was not sure Of the matter.
The body was later removed to Red
ington'S undertaking rooms 10 await
instructions from his relatives.
The car was in charge of Motorman
Ernest Prann and Freight Messenger
Frank Kittredgc. BOTH of Augusta and
left Watcrville or time ar $50. De-
hetrc was employed by the Maine Cen
trail railroad in connection with the
roads work train in Winslow and the
accident occurred near the Fort Hal
flax siding.
According 70 the version Of the ac-
cident old by the street railway m
rloNeS. DehctrF was first seen by the
motorman about 80 feet away from
the Maine Central crossing and the
freight car was proceeding at q very
low rate Of speed. about four or five
miles an hour. The man was noticed
Walking in tho road and Brann footed
the whistle of the car as it drew near
er to Dehetrn who was walking in the
road in front of the car and when but
a few feet away. they state that he
stepped directly in front Of the car
and that although the power had been
thrown off when about i feet away.
the collision was unavoidable. II is be-
loved that Dohetre stepped aside to
avoid q Maine Central freight train
and 50 did not see the freight car Of
tho Electric road.
Dehetre is understood to have a wife
end three children in Lisbon and was
about AZ years of age.
