Passenger fares by water routes or by rail and water are to be increas- ed proportionately with the higher rail charges.
 The basis for computing charges for excess baggage is to be one-sixth of the normal passenger fare, with a minimum of Is cents a hundred pounds and minimum collection of 25 cents per shipment.

 | The 25 per cent. increase in freight charges will apply generally to class and commodity rates, but minor vari- | ations will be necessary in many cases. For instances, where certain relationships exist between rival com mercial centers the 25 per cent. in crease will apply to the longer dis tance and the rate to the nearer To- cality will be the same number o1 cents less, as under present schedules In this way charges form any shor' hauls will be raised more than 25 peI cent.
 Flat increases are provided fol coal, carried under commodity rates as follows: Fifteen cents a net tor of 2,o00 pounds, where rate is now less than 49 cents a ton; 20 cent where rate is 50 to 99 cents; 30 cent where rate is $1 to $1.99; 40 cent! where rate is $2O to $2.99; and 5t cents where rate is $3 or more.

Spattafola lies in St. Vincent's hos Dital ot the point of death and refuses to make any statement, which might lead to the capture of the would-be assassins, while Frank Russo, former ly the proprietor of the Garden of Italy restaurant on Water street, is of breach of the peace and is being held for investigation under bonds. of $1,0OO.
 Patrolmen William Foster, Edward J. Crowley, Thomas F. Quinn and Will liam Booth, as well as Frank Russo, were before Coroner John J. Phelan today and testified in an imminent death inquiry. At the close of the in- quiry the coroner said that nothing of very definite nature had been learn ed in the case
 According to a statement made by Captain E. o. Cronan the case is pure- ly of vendetta nature, and as proof of this he points to the fact that wht Il Spattafola was shot down he had in his pockets no less than 66 one hun dred dollar bills as well as two fifty dollar notes, making a total of $6, 700 while upon his person jewelry valued at $5,000 was found. If the shooting had beeen done by holdup men look Bng for money or gems they would have had rich harvest, but not 8 single thing was touched.
 The shooting occurred shortly be- | fore 1 o'clock this morning near 2 dark alleyway between Union Square and Water street and few minute: later Frank Russo was arrested as ht was walking down State street in the direction of Water street. Whe1 brought to headquarters he said tha he was in the Garden of Italy restaur ant until 11:45 last night after whicl he went for short ride in his auto mobile. He then put the car up il his garage on State street and was re turning to his home On Bank stree l when he was arrested

 The statement follows:
 'In the latter part of the night the Germans opened a very violent bombardment all along the front be- tween the forest of Pinon and Rheims This morning an enemy attack is in progress along very ex- tended front between these two points.
 ''Franco-British troops are resisting the German thrust with their habit ual valor. The battle is continuing.
 "In the Champagne, on the right bank of the Mouse (Verdun frontl in Apremont forest, and in the Woeyre~ there was active artillery fighting During the night the Germans deliv- cred several local attacks in the Apre- mont forest, but were repulsed after spirited fighting in which the Ger mans suffered losses Two other ef- forts, in the region of Limey, north east of Badonviller, also were repuIs- ed. The French took prisoners"

London, May N.---Strong German attacks developed early this morning against the British and French posi- tions between Rheims and Soissons, the war office announces. The at tacks were preceded by heavy bom- bardment.
 The Germans also attacked this morning in Flanders, between Locre and Voormezeele, on the northern side of the salient
 The statement reads:
 Strong hostile attacks preceded by a bombardment of great intensity de- veloped this morning on a wide front against the British and French troops on the line between Rheims and Sois- sons and against French troops be- tween Locre and Voormezeele.
 There was considerable hostile ar tillery activity yesterday and last night on the British front
 By their attack of today the Ger mans have extended the active battle in a new sector which has been quiet since last fall. The thrust between Locre and Voormezeele is along the northern leg of the Flanders salient, on a sector measuring about eight miles, where the Germans met with one of the bloodiest defeats of the war when their drive for the channel ports was halted last month.
 The attack between Soissons and Rheims, however, is the distinctive feature of the new German opera tions. This battle is fought along the sector that usually is referred to as the Aisne front, owing to the fact that for long time the line of battle followed the Aisne river The present battle line runs along the Alette river, north of the Aisne, over the larger part of this sector, the French having advanced their line. The fron4 of attack is about 40 miles, which is about 15 miles shorter than the line of the original German attack this spring, on March 21.
 American troops may be taking par l in the new battle. Early in thu spring there were several reference

RUSSELL MAY RESIGN FROM.
 FUEL OFFICE

Hartford, May 27-Connecticut's coal situation has come to such d pass as to demand action from both ends of the administrative line. An thracite shipments are seriously be- hind schedule. BituminouS ship ments are not expected to satisfy de- mands for next winters supply.
 Here in Hartford the federal fuel administrator, Thomas W. Russell has threatened to- resign, saying that he could not accept responsibility for such a shortage of anthracite ship ments as has obtained, specifically between May land May q.
 MT. Russell has sent the following telegram to Secretary William T. Grier of the federal committee.
 Connecticut receipts of anthracite during the first 21 days of May are very alarming. On the basis of the committees figures for 1916, without any increase this year on the theory that two-thirds of the amount fixed should be received before Nov. 1 in equal monthly instalments, we would require about 4,100 cars monthly t.1 Nov. 1, or 136 cars per day.
 Actual receipts, rail and tide, ot prepared sizes May 1 to May 21, in elusive, have been 1,762 cars, equiva lent to S4 cars per day or less than l two-thirds actual minimum require 1 ments on 1916 basis.
 If you cannot wire me definite as- surances of immediate increase shall be forced to consider resigna- ton as I cannot accept responsibility for such dangerous shortages of an. | thracite shipments to this state.''

When RuSSo'S apartment was searched one automatic pistol of .25 calibre, and one automatic pistol of .45 calibre were found together with a collection of rifles and shotguns. None of~the weapons had been dis charged recently and in the case of the pistols the police believe that they have never been discharged as they are new guns.
 The police, however, believe that Russo knows more about the shooting that he is willing to tell and they are making every effort to get the truth from him.
 It is not known, or if known it is not divulged why Spattafola was car rying such large amount of money on his person, and the authorities dis miss the query with the announce ment that in all probability the wounded man intended to open up some sort of business or intended to gamble little and for that reason withdrew the money from bank so as to be ''heeled" properly when he entered the deal.
 Another fact disclosed by the in- vestigation is that the wounded man carried gun and it is alleged he at- tempted to defend himself with this weapon when he was shot down. Dr Frank B. Gavlas, who attended Spat- tafola when he was brought to the emergency hospital in a jitney by two men, is of the opinion that the bullet which entered his back and tore . hole through one of his lungs and emerged through his chest was o1 large calibre, probably .3S or .45 a: the wound is big one.
 When Spattafola was removed tc St. Vincent's hospital early this morn ing little hope was held out for him but his wonderful vitality enabled hin to pull through until today when i was announced that his condition wa! little improved, but that there wa: every chance of his dying.

GERMANS AGAIN
 BOMB PARIS BY LONG RANGE GUNS

Paris, May 27-After a long inter- val the Germans again began to Lombard Paris with long range guns at 6:3O o'clock this morning.
 The resumption of the Lombard ment was an unwelcome surprise to the Parisians, who had not heard the sound of exploding shells from the big gun since May 1. There was no rnistaking the peculiar ping with which the shells burst, however, and it was immediately recognized that the long range firing was on again.
 The first shell was followed at fairly regular intervals, much as on the oc- casions of previous bombardments. making it seem probable that more than one gun was in action.
