REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE
TO RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Drastic reg.
ulations adopted by the railroads are
now IN effect with the APPROVAL Of
the interstate commerce commission,
a. emergency measures to relieve
shortage OF freight cars which for
months has been q brake on the coun-
try's commerce and affected the high
cost Of LIVING. The remedy Is the
railroads. own, proposed by the car
service commission Of American rail.
way association and formally approved
by the federal commission. The
first regulation provides that a con-
signee msy have the usual two days
to unload a car and that thereafter
demurrase shah be charged at the
rate OF ~ for the first day. 81 for the
second, So for the third and S. for
the fourth and each succeeding day.
Heretofore the charge has been uni
formly 81 q day and many consignees,
notably automobile concerns and coal
dealers. are declared to have been
glad to permit shipments to stand for
long periods because the penalty was
so small that 1t compared favorably
with warehouse charges.
Another order increases the daily
rental paid by railroads to each other
for cars from 10 to IS cents per car
or about 20 per cent. Some eastern
roads IRE said to have from 5000
to 10000 foreign cars of single type.
The order is expected to make serious
difficulties for email roads which new
err have had sufficient equipment OF
their own.
The Use in price Of coal Is attribut-
ed almost wholly to the car shortage
aided by the alleged activities OF spec
ulators.
b In respect to foodstuffs the same
situation Is said to have applied, al.
though Z had been less acute. Re-
cent orders OF the commission which
provide that receiving roads shall re.
turn box cars and refrigerating cars
without delay to the owning lines are
said to De showing effect now.
Further consideration OF the prob
lens presented by the shortage Of
cars is the subject Of conference
here of officials Of eastern roads.

Nails
Yarn In Hawaii
On Royal Scandal

Librarian Lydecker of the public ar
chives today nailed the hide Of one
yarn repeated in Honolulu to the door
Of the archives building. figurative-
ly speaking. Moved by an editorial
note in the Star-Bulletin yesterday
with which he heartily agrees-he
wrote the following concerning the
death OF Crown Prince Rudolf OF
Austria:
Honolulu, T. H.. Jan. 3, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Ny attention was attracted
by the editorial in the Star-Bupetin Of
yesterday relating to the Crown Prince
Rudolf of Austria committing suicide
because he learned that his mistress
was his half sister, and that this state
secret is buried in the archives OF
Hawaii In view of the revival Of this
story, to which the Star Bulletin evil
IDENTIFY gives little or no credit, and in
justice to the dead / wish to deny
most emphatically that there Is any
document in the archives Of Hawaii
containing any such statement or even
intimating anything that could be so
construed. There is q confidential re-
port made to the minister Of foreign
affairs by the Hawaiian consul at
Vienna, probably every foreign repre-
sentative stationed there much such
a report to his government, but this
report gives no cause for the tragedy,
in fact he distinctly states that the
cause is not k1own-which statement
he reitcrates in his annual report al
most year later, with the added re-
mark, that many years may elapse be-
fore the cause is known. IL ever. i
Il am at loss to know how a state
ment so utterly at variance with the
contents of this report originated. No
one in whose official custody. It Eas
been could have made 1t, and sin
cerely hope that this denial may cause
in the wording Of the editorial, Many
o writer for the illustrated feature

to pause before again repeating it.
