Want Advance in Freight Rates.

From recent happenings the i'm
preston is gained that the time is
not far distant when concerted ac-
tion will be taken by the railroads
looking toward the asking of gen
eral advance of FIVE per cent or
more in freight rates. First action
will probably be taken by the east
ern roads. as they usually lead the
way for the west. The only differ
ence is that the east is generally
successful and the west meets fail
ure.
When asked about this an off
cial of one of the systems operating
between Chicago and New York
admitted that there have been in
formal discussions regarding the
feasibility of such a request. Tang
ible developments are not expected
until it is known whether or not
the Adamson law is to be made op-
erative, and is in accordance with
the provisions of the constitution
This same law is to be made one
of the railroads best little argu-
ments if they are forced to comply
with its provisions. The added ex-
pense entailed in meeting these
provisions will be a considerable
item. The railroads, while show
ing good returns in 1916. it is
claimed, cannot be expected to
meet the added burden from cur.
rent earnings. They must be help
ed along. There is even the posi-
bility that more than FIVE per cent
will be asked for as an increase, as
the consensus of opinion is that
such boost will prove insufficient,
but will barely take care of present
needs without the labor costs being
deducted from any betterment ac-
cruing.
Such move had been expected
in 1916, but such action failed to
materialize. 1t is almost certain 10
be made in 1917. And what is

more there is basis for the belief
that they will get what they ask.
The only unfavo1able factor is the
delay involved in such procedure.
A long series of hearings and in
vestigations will undoubtedly te
conducted and then considerable
time will be taken for the weighing
of the evidence presented and the
ultimate handing down of the de
ciSion. Such problems are weighty
and time is consumed in their soIu-
ton, especially when it is up to
such ponderous and slow moving
body as the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
In all probability the latter part
OF January will see the first moves
looking toward the general consid-
Grafton of the best method of pro-
cedure-on the part of the eastern
carriers at least. What the west
ern carriers will do is problemati-
cal, but their request should be
made first as it will be recalled that
they were only partially successful
in their last attempt and were dis
appointed in the result.
Various moves looking toward
greater revenue from the hauling
of freight were made from time to
time during the year. The Inter
state Commerce Commission was
continually considering the just
ness of advances on certain COM
modities in certain territories.
Sometimes the carriers were sue
cessful ard sometimes they were
not. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that when the move is finally made
1t will prove a wise one.

SPANlSH-CUBAN PLOT
Submarines Forwarded Dispatches Put in Buoy at Sea
By Castilian Shippers Aiding Pro German
Cubans-Subsea Boat Sunk. =

Washington, Nov. 24-One Of the
leaks of information from the United
States to Germany has been stopped.
This was learned today officially. 1t
is an open secret that through Swift
zerland, Spain, the Scandinavian ma
lions and Holland, Germany has been
able to secure information of value
to her of the war activities and some
Of the plans Of the United States.
The leak which has been uncovered
and plugged was through a Spanish
steamship line operating among Gu
ban, Central and South American
countries and Spain.
Despite the celebrity with which the
government of Cuba, headed by Pres
ident Menoca1, declared war on Ger
many following the declaration by the
United States, there is considerable
anti-American element in Cuba. : It
was through members Of this faction
that the Spanish steamship people CO.
operated in forwarding valuable in
formation to Germany.
1t has been known for long time
that information has reached Berlin
through Spain, but it was supposed
that radio communication was used.
Instead of that system German sub

nation which was deposited in an un-
charted buoy q considerable distance
off the Spanish coast and somewhat
off the usual steamship track. In
this buoy documents were deposited
by the Spaniards, and were removed
from the buoy later by U-boat COM
manders and taken to Berlin.
It can be stated now that nothing
leaves Cuba which Is not censored,
and it is believed that this will check
that one leak at least. The report
has been circulated here that Entente
ships of war waited within range of
the buoy until a submarine appeared
and sank it before destroying the
buoy.
The disclosure of the method en-
'p1oyed by Spanish Nationalist aided
by Cubans, has given weight to the
superstition that the same method is
employed elsewhere. Submarine bases
are supposed to be established in the
Balearic Islands off Spain and in the
Aegean Islands.
It is almost impossible to locate
them in the islands, naval experts
here say. They assert that the theory
of the cooperation of submarines in
transmitting information is probably
the soundest of any, as the abuse of
diplomatic privileges by neutrals is
practically the only other method
open.

VALUE OF RUBLES
IS CAUSE OF SUIT

Drop in the exchange rate of Rus
sian rubles from 80 cents to rs cents
in the course of a few months forms
the basis of a suit heard before JUS
tice of the Peace John A Cornell, Jr.,
yesterday. The complainant is Ka-
sian Humanek, and the defendant
Marcus Hirsch. Humanek wished to
send money to his mother who was in
the war zone in Russia last January.
gave Hirsch $32 for 100 rubles, and
told him to send them to his mother.
Hirsch carried out the commission
so far as possible, buying the Russian
money and sending it through the post
office,
Several months later the money
came back, with notification it could
not be delivered. Hirsch then tend
cred the value of the rubles, S26, to
Humanek. but the latter refused to ac-
cept, claiming the amount he had
paid over to Hirsch. Justice Cornell
reserved his decision.
