RAILROADS EACH
PRESENT CLAIMS
FOR HIGH Rates
Hearings to Continue Several
Weeks Commenced Today,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Another
phase OF the eastern railroads hearing
for increases in freight rates which
brought the executive heads of various
great trunk line systems to Washington
for yesterdays hearing before the in
tcrstate commerce commission was in
augurated today when Examiner Disque
by direction OF the commission began
separate hearings on the railroads
claims involved in the case.
The railroads are asking not only
the complete horizontal IS percent in
crease which they sought previously
and were partly denied in the commits
sion's decision last spring but are urg-
ing further increases on the ground that
the IS percent advance would now be
inadequate to meet the mounting costs
of war time railway operation.
The separate hearings began today
with a presentation OF the case OF the
proposed increased rates on anthracite
coal. Other hearings this and next
week will concern petroleum, grain,
lumber and cement The presentation
of the case of the shippers will he made

ment in all phases of the rate case on

quarters at Fenway park closing up the
club business for the year and making
arrangements to move headquarters IA

The two officials OF the club came to
Boston from New York Monday after

man for the owners and emphatically
denied that there was any truth In the
report that the club was to be sold He
stated that neither he or Mr. Ward was
considering a sale and that no one had
been authorized to find a customer. lie
expressed himself as well pleased with
the showing made during the past seh-
son and pointed to the fact that the
team won more games In 1917 than In
1915, when II took he championship title
Regarding the reports current that
the team would have a nav manager
In 1918, Mr.. Fraxee stated that there
was no foundation for such reports.
He said that J. J. Barry would again
lead the team and believed that he
would be even more successfui next
season than last. The two owners
held q long conference with Manager
Barry yesterday afternoon, but no
announcement was made regarding
what was talked over.
President Frazee stated that he ha6
not yet signed any player to a contrac

AUSTRIANS HAVE
new Gun WHICH,
BREAKS RECORDS
Artillery Piece Is Greater Than
Germans AZ Centimeter,

AMSTERDAM-"The Austrians are
in love with new gun" said an Eng
lsh correspondent yesterday in dis
patch from the lsonzo front describing
the terrific bombatdment that preceded
the Tcuton drive
Here, for the first time. are given
some details about this gun. II is q
howitzer constructed al the Austrian
Skoda gun works near PilSen, the in
ventor being Dr. Kroh, the noted en-
g,neer Of that institution In caliber
it is on a par with the famous German
R-oentimeter, Busy Bertha" but in
other respects 1t has certain advantage
over the German war surprise.
This gun has been used only twice
previously, in MaekenSen's great "brcak
through" battle on the Dunajec, and in
January, in 1915, before Tarnow. Ii is
the most formidable artillery weapon
at the disposal of the central power
and because OF its great sire, the diff.
cultleS and the expense entailed in is
transport, emplacement and use II i.
employed only in really great cam
paigns
The chief advantage of the Austrian
Skoda over the Busy Bertha lies il
its greater firing rapdlty, in ordinary
circumstances, that is In the usua
bombardments this howi,zet fires =
shot every four minutes. In 'decisiv,
drum fire, however, it can fire a Sho
every thirty seconds
