After Words, Actions
How President Wilson Can Arouse
the Utmost Loyalty
70 the Editor Of The Tribune.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: AZ one of those who have been most
bitterly hopeless Of any true leadership Tor
America coming out of tho White House,
will YOU allow mo space TO render grateful
praise OF President Wilson's speech to Con
gress calling for declaration OF n stete OF
way. II carries deep encouragement. Every
American can now raise his head and expect
TO keep il up, The speech ia indeed tho voice
o. America.
Yet lot us remember. and Let Us beg Prcal-
dent Wilson TO remember, that actions speak
louder than words. President wilson mas
written we'll and spoken cloqucntly before.
He has now spoken wonderfully the necessary
will Of America. May he now 90 on to speak
IL in the only way he or any man can speak
II better than IN his speech to Congress.
Josephus Daniels is still Secretary oil the
Navy; Newton y. Baker Is still Secretary oil
War; and the ink is hardly yet dry on the
order removing from New York the chlel
expert in its defence to much less impor-
tart post. with choice OF Punishment to the
mid Pacific or to the South Seas.
If President Wilson would make the loyalty
Of every American his very own IN truth,
not merely support which IS lent him, let
him revise his Cabinet along non-partlsan
lines for the united and efficient conduct Of
the war. Let him replace Daniels and Baker
by naval and military experts and return
General Wood to New York. Then shall he
have the utmost instructive loyalty of the
entire country, and the assistance America
brings the Allies will be a credit in efficiency
as we'll as an honor to her through the ages

Hypocritical

The opposition 10 an increase of railroad
freight rates organized by certain asso-
Citations Of shippers is short-sighted and
Illogical. Among the bodies which are try
ny 10 halt an advance are the National
Livestock Protective League, National Pc
troleum Association, National Council Of
Farmers, Cooperative Grain Dealers As
ISOLATION, National Livestock Association,
National Livestock Exchange, Western Oil
Jobbers' Association and Western Petro-
lcum Refners' Association.
We can hardly imagine a representa-
tive Of any of these organizations making
his protest with a straight face. The
prices of the things they ship have in
creased enormously in the last five years
The producers Of livestock, of food prod
ucts and Of petroleum products have raised
tariffs at their own sweet will. They have
not been restrained by any governmental
veto. They are not compelled to submit in
creases to a Federal board like the Inter
state Commerce Commission and TO await
that boards approval before boosting rates.
They have benefited for years from
extremely low charges for railroad SER
vice. They have pocketed that bonus
without gratitude. Instead of feeling any
sympathy with the railroads, kept on
semi-starvation basis for their advantage,
they have followed the lead of certain
Western state railroad commissions in
sailing for more sacrifces on the part Of
the railroads. The ideal of these dema-
gogic commissioners and these prosperous
shippers associations is TO have freight
carried as far below the fair cost Of such
service as possible, the deficit TO be met
by the owners Of railroad stocks and bonds.
While the shippers and producers have
been raising prices so, rs and 100 per cent,
the railroads have secured from the Inter
safe Commerce Commission one picayunc
increase in freight rates of per cent. In
spite Of this misery advance-grossly dis
p-oportionate TO the advance III railroad
taxes and costs Of operation-Congress
last year imposed new annual burden of
s5o,OOO,0OO to s1OO,OOO,oOO on the rail
roads. The Adamson law arbitrarily
raised the wages IF railroad employees.
The Supreme Court has now held that
that action was within the powers Of
Congress.
An immediate increase in freight rates
is therefore necessary in order TO compen-
cate the railroads for this new outlay-to
restore the status existing before the wage
increase was authorized. 4 further in
crease is needed in order 70 put the car
risrs on their feet--to enable them to de-
velop their service and TO increase their
efficiency.
The transportation system Is u military
fundamentally Of the first class. To in
crease It's competency and usefulness is a
patriotic duty. The railroads should no
longer be starved through government
action which continually expands their oat-
Law vet holds down their income. Oppose
ton 70 rate Increases at this junctarc by
shipping associations is narrow-mindcd and

VALLEYOF 10000
SMOKESTAKESOFF.
VESUWOS' HONORS

The National Geographic Society
here will get detailed scientific data
on the Valley OF Ten Thousand
Smokes, the greatest volcanic region
in the world, about Mt. Katmai In
Alaska.
This valley. according to prelimi-
nary reports from Robert F. Griggs,
director of the society's exploration
expedition, Is the. .first wonder Of the
world. It makes vesuvius, renowned
for centuries, appear as nothing but a
toy by comparison
There Is q great volcanic region about
Mt Katmai, a hundred miles in extent,
literally filled by millions Of active
craters.
DR.. GrigEs and his party. with com
plete scientific data and photographs OF
the region. Is now on his way to Wasn-
lngton. The expedition Is expected to
reach Washington October s Dr. GrigEs
telegraphed Of his discoveries imfnedi-
ately upon reaching civilization at
Zodiac, Alas.
Indiaas ToId OF Crater.
Hidden away in the center Of Alaska.
Mt. RatmaI and this enormous volcanic
region were unknown to the civiliIed
world, until the great eruption OF 1871
that nearly devastated the coast area
Alaska Indians had told the story OF
the Valley Of Ten thousand Smokes
and the Mouth Of Hell. but their deserip-
lions were inadequate. Il seems. In the
face Of scientific discoveries.
Explorations were made by the Ma
tionai Geographic Society in succeed
ing years, but the enormity of this
volcanic region has Just become
known. The Mt KatmAi explosion
in 1912 was the. most terrific In the
history of the world. The quantity
of material thrown from the Katmai
orator was vastly greater than that
whi5h resulted in the projection OF
the island of Krakatoa out Of the bed
70 tlIe Pacinc ocean. The greatest ef-
foH of vesuvius could not be COM
pared with It, Practically the entire
Alaskan peninsula and the islands of
the Aleutian groups were covered
inches deep in ashes, as were the
decks of vessels hundreds of miles on
the coast. The coast guard cutter
Bear had to rescue whole communi-
ties threatened by the ash shower.

oner and two detectives. Following
is the finding of the examining physi-
clans:
Phynicians' Finding.
''The bullet passed through the
brain, coming in contact with the
skull Interior of the forehead, where
the steel jacket was found. The lead
portion of the bullet was lodged In the
right side OF the brain. It was re-
moved by DR.. Burmeister, who now
has It in his possession.
"The left ankle showed dark dis
coloration. Tie post mortem ex-
animation reveals that the ankle was
broken prior to death"
Coroner Hoffman's opinion Is In
direct contradiction to the verdict of
the eoroner's jury at Concord, which
found Mrs. King died from a bullet
accidentally inflicted by herself.
1T is my opinion. from investiga-
tion and post mortem, that the wound
was not self-infiIcted: that a crime
has been committed,r . Hoffman said.
The tragedy occurred just after
dusk about two miles from Concord
when Mrs. King, accompanied By
qaston B. Means, her conndant and
business adviser, A. S. Bingham and
Alton Means. a brother Of Castor,
started out in an automobile for q
! drive @ - 3 ;
According to his own testimony al
( the time of the. coroner's inquest
Means, was, the only one near Mrs
King when the fatal shot was ffred
The negro chauffeur was sitting In
the car about 100 yards away, but
testified he could not see either Mrs
King or Means.

MRS. KING SLAIN,
CORONER REPORTS;
ARRESTS ARE NEAR

CHICAGO, Sept THAT Mrs Maud
A. King, widow OF James c. King. late
Chicago millionaire. was murdered IN
the dark on a lonely road at Concord
n. c., August 20, is the opinion ex-
pressed today by Coroner Peter NJ
Hoffman, after he had the body ex-
humed at midnight and after a post
mortem had been held.
Arrests are probable within twenty
four hours, officials intimated.
There is not the slightest doubt
that Mrs. King was murdered, Coro-
ner Hoffman said. 81 will confer with
States Attorney Hoyne to determine
whether warrants for arrests shall De
asked and for whom"
The coroner exhumed the body on
an order issued by Judge George b.
Kersten, of the circuit court, after the
receipt of a letter from si.tzen OF
Concord The letter reads, IN part:
Letter Moves Authorities.
Everyone in Concord believes that
Mrs. Maude King was foulfy muir

ever committed in this place and we
hope that Chicago, the home Of Mrs
King, will take this matter. up anc

There are many motives for the crime
and when you get busy you will hnc
them out.
"If you will have her body examined
you will see she could not have shot
herself behind the ear. No one herr
