M'MILLAN ASKS FOR S3,O5O
IN PAYMENT OF BACK SALARY

]. B. Mcmillan, chairman of the
board of county commissioners. has
asked Judge Ed E. Hardin for writ
of mandate directing James A. Mil
ler. county auditor, to deliver to him
county warrants to the value of $3,-
$50, which he declares is due him
in back salary for services rendered
the county as commissioner from Jan.
II, 1915, to November IL, 1918.
He declares that on December 2,
.191S, he presented claim for this
alleged balance to the county aud
itor and that he refused to issue a
warrant for that amount or any part
of it, basing his refusal on chapter
%, of the 1913 session laws, which
provides that in all counties other
than counties of the first class which
have adopted or hereafter may adopt
and put in force township organic
alton, the compensation of the coun-
ty commissioners shall be and the
same is hereby fixed at IS per day
for each and every day actually en-
ployed in the discharge Of their dut-
les; provided, that they shall not be
entitled to nor receive such per di-
EN- for more than 200 days in any
one year."
Mr.. Mcmillan holds that he is en-
titled to $500 per year cs allowed
by section 4037 of Remington and
Balinger's code and statutes, and that
the paragraph quoted by Auditor
Miller Is null and void.

French Marine Chief Says They
Are Sunk Faster Than Built.
Effectiveness Of Campaign Is Fast De-

of Deputies.

Paris, May 14.-George Leygue, min.
lister of marine, informed the naval
i committee of the chamber of deputies
that the German submarine campaign

eminent is aware of this fact but
has made the greatest efforts to con-
ceal It, s4& .~
M. Leygue said the situation was
most favorable and that the sinkings
Of submarines in the first three
!. months of 1918 through Allied meas
I ures was greater than the number
built by the enemy. s.
Minister Leygue referred to the
statement made in the reichstag, on
April II, by Vice Won Capelle, German
minister of marine, in which he said
Z 100000 tons of Allied shipping were
sunk monthly. This figure, the minis
ter said was incorrect. ~.
1 1t was reached and passed in April,
May and June, 1917. In July 1t de-
iclined, and In November it fell below
400, 900, and since has diminished con-
tinuously. &~ y
M. Laygues said that in February,
March and April 1928 French steamers
and 78S French sailing vessels passed
through the danger zone where few
months ago losses by torpedo!ng had
been very heavy. Not . single ship
was sunk.
On the other hand, he said, the num-
bsr Of submarines destroyed had in
creased progressively since January In
such proportion that the effectiveness
Of enemy squadrons cannot be main
tanned at the minimum required by tho
regulations. Tho number Of U-boats
destroyed in January, February and
March was TAR greater IN each month
than the number constructed In the
1Sne month. In February and April

Increased Passenger and Freight
Tariffs of About rs Per Cent
Are Probable.
ACTION COMING SOON
Advisers Inform Director General Nc
Adoo Higher Costs Of Fuel, Wages,
Equipment and Operating Ex-
penses Render Step Inevitable.

Washington, May 14.-Railway ad.
ministration officials estimate that an
increase of at least rs per cent in
passenger. and freight rates will be
necessary this year to meet higher
costs of fuel, wages, equipment and
other operating expenses, now placed
at between $600,00O,000 and $750,00O,-
900 more than last year.
Recommendation that rates be
age has been made to Director Gen
eral McAdoo by his advisers. He is
expected to act within the next six
weeks and to put increases into ef-
feet Immediately. IA 4
Shippers will be permitted to ap-
peal to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission under the railroad act, and
final decision will be with President
Wilson. Such an increase would be
the biggest in the history of Ameri
can railways, as the percentage is
larger than any ever sought by the
railways under private management.
and would apply to the entire country.
Both class and commodity schedules
would be affected. lrrsE> -f2
Rate experts Of the Interstate Com.
merce commission and Railroad ad.
ministration are now at work at new
schedules. Any increases to be or.
dered will be arranged in a manner
to preserve rate relationships between
communities and regions, officials said
today, so industries and commercial
interests will be- subject to the same
degree of rate competition as at pres
emit.
Passenger fares would be raised
under the plan suggested to about 3
cents q mile, from the existing gen.
eral rate Of a little less than ~
cents. #. f}.g &1
The proposed, increases, 1t is est,
mated, would yield about 500, 900, 600.
Or $700,000,000 in freight and $780,
100000 In passenger revenues. This
would leave margine above the e.
timated increase in operating expens-
es eventually. but since the new rates
would not 90 into effect until the year
10 half over, their yield would fail
lsegerAl hundred million dollars Shdn
of meeting the anticipated deficit this
year. II,
1t 10 roughly estimated BY railroad
administration officials that the roads
viii spend between 5000, ZOO, 900 and
$3.50. 000, 900 more for wages than LAST
year; between $4,000 900 and $780,
10000 more for coal ana between
$1s0,000,000 and $3.50. 10000 more for
cars, locomotives, rails. ties, terminal
facilities, barges for inland water
ways and ether supplies and equip
ment. &st
