But there. isn't the slightest reason for

WHY RATES SHOULD

Urging the Is percent freight in
crease, Alfred H. Smith, president of
the New York Central lines, declared
the railways might break down un-
less revenues were Increased.
After pointing out that prices as
whole were higher. Smith said:
1.-THE railways must pay rising
prices for what is used and it can
with the greatest difficulty raise it's
own rates to Offset those BY such
a process, equity in the property is
slowly but surely extinguished and if
it is continued, the finest transporta-
ton machine will eventually be
broken down"
He asserted the roads would be
put to extra expenses by having to
build tracks at mobilization camps
and erect additional terminal facilf-
ties for handling troops.
An increase in freight rates for
the railways is absolutely necessary
If conditions surrounding the rail-
ways are not to become menace
to the country, Samuel Rea, presi-
dent of the, Pennsylvania railway,
told the com mission
The roads, he said, face made
quate facilities and insufficient
credit and this menace cannot be
overcome without a substantial In
crease in receipts.
Rea declared that if the entire ad
vance the roads ask were granted
the Pennsylvania still would be SIP
100000 worse off in 1917 than in
1916. Although the roads are men
toned as asking a Is percent in
crease, Rae said the increase would
approximate 1891 percent, because
less than Is percent would be de-
rived on increase on coal. ore and
coke.
Rea gave increased expenses of
the Pennsylvania this year at sh1
$4,000 due to extraordinary in.
,reases in costs of material and
labor
Howard Elliott, chairman of the
New Haven, declared a Is percent

He said the most his road would

VIII TAX over submarInes.

viii Talk Over Submarines.
NEW YORK, May 7.-Wm. L. Saun-
ders, chairman OF the naval consult
ing board. will go to Washington to-
day to tell Secretary Daniels what he
has in view for ending the submarine
menace.
Saunders created furore Saturday
when he said he believed some Of the
inventions now before the board
would solve the submarine problem.
A number Of different constructions
were placed on his words. until Saun-
ders made it plain that he was only
voicing his private opinion. and that
other board members failed to agree
with him.
It is believed Daniels asked a con-
ference with Saunders. The naval
board chairman put the lid on" today
and said he could not talk until after
he had conferred with the secretary.
Additional Loan Made.
WASHINGTON, May IAN addt-
tlonal loan Of $25,o0O,oO0 was made to-
day to Great Britain. The transfer
was not attended by the usual form
alities. Secretary McAdoo sent a
treasury warrant to British Ambassa-
dor Sir Cecil Spring Rice at the Brit
ish embassy and received in return
Great Brttain's obligation for the sum.
The loan is part of 500 100000.
which will be turned over to Great
Britain at intervals during the month
Of May. The first portion was trans
ferred Saturday. The remaining $780,
100000 will be transferred in either
one or two installments within the
next three weeks.
Flood of Suggestions.
WASHINGTON, May IA flood
of suggestions from inventors Of the
country have come into the navy de-
partment since w. L. Saunders Of the |
naval consulting board. announced he |
believed the board is on the right |
track successfully to fight the sub |
marine menace.
Dozens Of suggestions are uselesa |
on their face" officials said TODAY.
But nevertheless all are being CON
sidered and those with the slightest
hope OF success will probably be-
tried out
Saunders will confer with Secre-
tary Daniels, who so far is not IN
formed as to details Saunders and
his colleagues have worked out.
The secretary admittedly is optim-
iSLlC- ne UellSNeS American inypO-
tive genius will arise to the occa-
sion"
Saunders has written a letter 10 |
Secretary Daniels, stating briefly
what his ideas are. This reached
here today, but persons in a position
to know about the situation. cast
doubt upon efficacy of Saunders |
scheme.
In addition there was manifest dis. |
pleasure at Saunders talking for puh. |
lication at this time. Authorities re.
garded 1t as "indiscreet, to say the
least"
Officials said today Saunders idea |
have not been sent abroad to Tho

CHICAGO, May 7.-Wheat-The
general public has been so continually
urged not to speculate that there is lit.
tie interest in the market. outside OF
the necessary trading which cash in
terests are obliged to do. A good deal
OF today's buying was credited to the
account OF the allied governments,
which easily advanced prices for all
deliveries. the May making a new top.
Those well informed on crop condi-
tions assert that the government re-
port. to be issued tomorrow, will be
likely to reduce the total indicated
crop as compared with the estimate
LOT May /. The visible supply now in
cludes Canadian wheat in the United
States or on passage to visible points.
This accounts for the decrease of only
one million bushels, as the lakes in
creased 100000 bushels, large pro-
portion Of which is on it's way from
Fort Williams and Port Arthur to Buff
falo.
Corn-Was extremely dull. TIL,
May delivery was firm, however, and
showed tendency to widen as COM
pared with the later months. The
visible supply is decreasing rapidly,
and stocks are becoming very 1ighs.
Spring work is backward, but, weather
permitting, the acreage will show A.
very large increase on account Of the
price and the large proportion of the
abandoned wheat acreage which will
be planted to corn.
Oats-The season is very favorable
for oats and the crop prospects is
large. There now. seems the probah-
ility Of more rapid reduction in the
visible supply due to the splendid CO.
operation which exists in shipping cir.
cles through the effort of the national
council OF defense.
