Elliott Says Demands by
War Will Make Changes
Necessary.

Washington, May 8.-Railroad pres
idents told the interstate commerce
commission yesterday that the roads
need an advance of Is per cent in
freight rates, not only to meet the in
creased cost of everything that enters
railroad operation, but also so that
the system may prepare physically to
do their bit toward winning the war.
The increase asked for, the commits
sion was told, would not entirely meet
the rising costs the roads face, in fact
in New England it will not meet the
increase in the yearly coal bill. Ev-
erywhere, the executives declared, the
railroad systems face the rising prices
of everything and the decreasing val
ne of the dollar.
Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania, read a statement to the COM
mission in which he said:
1.-THE conditions surrounding the
railroads at the present time involve
a direct and immediate menace to
the country at large, and to the ship
pers, passengers and owners Of the
properties, because of inadequate IA
cilities and insufficient credit. If we
are adequately equipped to handle ex-
listing traffic and be prepared to meet
the necessities Of the international sit
uation it is absolutely essential that
the railroads be granted higher rates."
Howard Elliott, speaking for the
| New Haven, said a Is per cent. ad-
vance would not pay the increased
| coal bill of that road. The greatest
| increase in revenue the road could
expect, he said, would be $4,000, 900
or $3,500,000, while the coal contracts
| placed for 1917 Indicated fuel bill
approximately 100000 greater than
| last year.
The general level OF rates on the
| for a majority of the roads in the
country. Conditions surrounding op-
erations and transactions of the New
very unusual.
eft is Obvious said Mr.. Elliott,
| chat the rai1rods must work just as
fast and as hard as they can to get
| themselves in a position to do prompt
ly maximum amount Of business so
as to help win the war. This may
mean, and doubtless will mean a
change in the currents of industry to
a greater or less extent, which will
have an effect on gross earnings.
Government supplies and food and
supplies for the Allies must have the
right of way. To handle promptly
all these classes of freight and to do
what doubtless will be necessary for
| the government all along the sea coast
| there will probably have to be more
money spent for additional sidings and
new terminals, new approaches and
harbors and docks"

Suit for 50, 600 In
Dispute Between
Landlord and Tenant

A dispute over the installation of
heating apparatus in a large bowling
alley and billiard parlor in Stamford
has resulted in injunction proceedings
and the filing of $4,000 suit in the
common pleas court. Michael F.
Moyes, proprietor Of the bowling al
ley, brings the action against Benja-
min Harris of Stamford, owner of the
building.
Moves says he leased the entire
second floor of the building at Main
and Stage streets for $1,000 a year,
starting September i, 1915. Later he
claims it was agreed that If he in
stalled heaters and radiators the ex-
pense would be deducted from his
rent Moyes had the work done at a
cost of $480.57. When he sent
checks for rent he deducted the am
cunt spent for plumbing work. Har-
ris sent the checks back and threat
ened to start summary proceedings
against Moyes but the latter procured
Ia temporary injunction from Judge
Mead in the Greenwich borough court
restraining Harris. The present ac-
ton is returpable to the June term of
of court.

were present representatives of the
local catholic clergy, members of the
Particular Council of the St Vincent

His magazine is the official organ OF
the sodalities, Of which there are now

dertaken by the sodalities is manifold.
They purpose to help the poor, to
sew, to give volunteer service to or
ganized charities, to help the mis-
sions and to spread good literature.
A universal spirit of self sacrifice is
the basis OF all their efforts.
Father Garesc1ne's work has beer
to systematic the work of the sodal-
flies by forming city unions to carry
on larger activities as vacation school
