JOINT RAIL AND LAKE
FREIGHT RATES GO UP
Increase of 5 Per Cent. Is Allowed
by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Levy Mayer, who made tho argu.
mcnt In support OF n ratio increase
for thu Eastern railroads, has re.
ceived a telegram from Washington
announcing that the Interstate Com
merce Commission has overruled tho
protest Of shippers by "A vote Of 4 to
: and sustained the application Of
rail. lako and rail. rail and lake,
and lake carriers for supplemental
tariffs calling for a 8 per cent. in
crease OF rates.
The application for the increase
was made several weeks before the
decision on tho hdamson case. and
was not based on any anticipated
increase In tho wages that the train
men demanded.
Mr.. Mayer said that in his opinion
this ruling is a very persuasive indi-
cation Of the probable action that will
he taken upon the new application OF
the railroads for n fifteen per cent.
Increase, which application Is 90 be
within the next few weeks.
This Increase in Joint lake and rail
rates should not be confused with ap-
pllcatlons pending for general ad-
vanCe In all freight rates.

him ! didn't want to take money Tor
a favor TO a gentleman like him; but
lac said tho money came not from him

tho check and turned II over TO our
widows and orphans"
Schcclo wanted Schmidt 10 let some
Of his engineers come to tho fertilizer
factory and work, hut the engineer
couldn't do this because his men were
few. One day Schccle tclophoned
that he wanted a Job OF soldering
done: 80 Schmidt told Second En-

He had somo Of the shells there. Nc
said. This H. miserable work. Here,
divide this among you fellows. He
throw a check down on the table. I
said 7 have nothing 10 do with this
business, but I will take the check
and divide 1t among my people,"
To his counsel Schmidt declared
he had no idea that tho lead pipes"
were TO be used as Are bombs or to
help tho u OF Germany against
her enemies.
You we're interested in the war
and G~ermany7' asked Prosecutor
OSBORNE on Cross.cGamlnatlon.
'Das list mcfn Vaterland!" e1.
claimed Schmidt proudly.
II take II from that that you were
deeply Interested"
II cannot really say So" was
Schmidt's reply.
schmidt admitted that when De.
teciive Barnitz arrested him he did
not ask why.

YOU wclo put under arrest? ?" asked
Judge Van Fleet.
- had read In tho papers that
Becker and Won Kleist had been ar
rested.' said Schmidt. II had no
cauSe TO ask about A."
Before Schmidt took the stand
FREDERICK Karbade. another of the
defendants. testified.
karbade Is thirty two years old
and holds Il second engineers license.
When Prosecutor James w. Osborne
asked him n he didn't think the lead
pipe shells that he and his comrades
were fitting with caps and water
tlght partitions we're to be used as
bombs he answered:
Il may have had such an idea,
but ] threw out this thought at once
FOR, said, Chief Engineer
Schmidt would never give me work
which was wrong, whereby evil could
be wrought"
why didn't YOU ask Schmidt or
second Engineer Osmer about them"
asked Mr.. Osborne.
because | had confidence they
would do nothing wrong"
MIR. Osborne read to Karbade from
his deposition before tho examiners OF
the Department OF Justice soon after
hlS arrest:
Yes. we came 20 the conclusion
that they would DC used for explosive
purposes, but We did not think II
would be FOR criminal purposes"
karbade shook his head as the In
tcrpretcr read these worda
~ did not say all OF that he
declared.
karbade was asked what he really
said at his first examination.
II had an idea" nc said. that
liquid would come In at the top. be-
cause chemists operate a good deal
with liquids and ! had soldered a par
tition in the shell. ! thought that
some chemical process would be pro-
duced as the disc dissolved, but ! did
not know what was to come into tho
lower chamber"
This is exactly the way the Are
bombs operated.
