Stock Leagues Representa-
tive Protests to Trade
Board
Oil Men Fight Increase
Declare Action Would Hit
Independent Firms
Severely
By BRIGGS

Washington, June 1.-The nations
annual meat bill would be increased
more than 100000 by the 10 per cent
freight rate increase sought by the
railroads, 5. II. Cowan, representing
the National Livestock Shippers Pro-
tective League, to-day told tho Inter
state Commerce Commission.
"The increased freight on livestock"
said Mr.. Cowan, would add between
ss,OOO,OOO and $e,ooo,ooe to the earn
ings of the carriers. Eventually the
consumer would have to foot the bill.
Because Of local westhe- conditions,
cattle on the ranges often have TO be
shipped from one grazing section TO an
other. and back again. With one ami
NAL being freighted perhaps four times,
rates are considerable factor IN the
price Of meat to the ultimate con-
sumer."
Independent oil refners from Kan
sas. Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Ohio
told the commission that an increase
in freight rates would hit the inde-
pendents harder than the Standard Oil
Company and its subsidiaries.
Protests of dozen industries. rang
ing from non-acoholic beverages TO
gasolene, were presented TO the COM
mission. Among the interests repre-
scented were cement, coal, potash, rub
Der tires. livestock, grain and lumber.
". G. McEwsn, presenting the protest
Of tire Western Petroleum Retners'
Association, said:
"The Standard Oil Company, because
Of pipe lines. would suffer considerably
less than its competitors. As our own
prices are already dependent on those
fixed by the Standard Oil, it would
mean another blow to independent in
terests. Independent oil companies
should not be required to contribute
to the carriers fund for better equip
ment. We now rent or own and main
tain large numbers of tank cars which
cost the railroads nothing"

combating the epidemic last summer.
The committee has made a careful
study of 1896 cases out of total OF
9,023 cases in the greater city dur
ing the epidemic.
The disease cannot be spread. as
was supposed, from contaminated milk
or other food supply, or carried BY
lower animals, insects, or BY clothing
and other eXtraneous objects, the re-
port declared. The committee also
found that males were more liable TO
attack by the disease than females, and
that previous good health does not give
immunity from attack. The report
pointed out that the disease was prin-
cipally one of childhood.
The committee emphasized that il
was Of the greatest practical import
ance TO parents to keep their children,
II they were i'll, away from others un-
til II was definitely known that the
child did not have a communicable dis
ease. Early diagnosis Of suspected
cases ard prompt isolation of the
patient were held to be of the great

contracts which do not end this sea-

o. course. unaffected by tho decision of
the German Stage Society. II there
are one or two whose contracts must
be renewed the artists will undoubtedly
renew them. as they are unable TO get

gage none during the war. as they
could not get over even If they

when the war is over different con-
ditions probably will bring a change
in the German attitude. Al present
this attitude is n purely academic one,
as il affects neither the Metropolitan

II was said by another official that
the German Stage Society's action was
another blunder of German diplomacy,
which. If successful, would only de

contracts which have already been re-

season TO run. The only German artist
not reengased by the Metropolitan is

Amsterdam. June THE largely at
tended general meeting Of the German
Stage Society at Berlin on Saturday
passed. without a dissenting vote, the
proposal of Count Seebach, director
Of the Dresden Court Theatre, binding
the members to grant no oontractuai
or cx-contractual leave Of absence TO
singers wishing to go to America, and
not to engage for five years any Ger
man singer who accepts an American
engagement. Those present included
tho directors of the Schiller and
Kleine Theatres and the German Opera
House of Berlin, and the directors oil
the Court Theatres at Vienna, Stuff
CART, Cassel, Wiesbaden, Hamburg
Leipsic. Breslau, Bremerhaven and
Dusseldorf.
Count Secbach declared that his pro
posal had nothing to do with the war;
but was measure of self-defence and
self-preservation. lie said it was in
tolerablc that artists, who had been
carefully trained by German tutors
and supported By the German public
and press. should, just at the moment
OF maturity. make themselves over
body and soul to an American con-
tractor. to return after some years
spent abroad, but so much more con-
cetcd.
Artists Must Choose
lie continued:
Artists will have 10 choose between
America and Germany. Nothing need
be feared from the proposal for Ger
man influence. for where ~ that IN
fuencc now? II is in vain to desire
10 win Americans with clylllues ana
sontimentalties.'
According to tho "Kreuz Zeitung."
Count Seebach further expressed the
opinion that German-Americans were
first of all Americans. After the meet
ing IL was announced that hencefor-
ward artists who wished to go on a
starring tour abroad would have TO
obtain the consent Of the Foreign Of
flee, where Dr.. Eyer, manager of the
Court Theatre at Darmstadt, has been
appointed artistic adviser to deal with
this question.
Desp ite the practical unanimity with
which Count Won Seebach's proposal
was passed. the "Vossische Zeitung'
considers the proposition an abortlve
one. The paper says:
Apart from objections in principle,
arising from the international charac-
ter Of art. the proposal is not feas-
ible. Il Will cause great dissatisfac-
ton among members of the profession
and the leading lights will disregard it.
Says II : Public Who Will Safer
con the other hand ways and means

formances by boycotted artists in Ger
many, as promising profitable business.

out, contrary 20 all expectations, it is
