De Walt Also Approves.

!. Ar. Dewalt of, Pennsylvania explained
h1a advocacy-o Of the bin as follows:
II. like some other gentlemen who have
spoken in regard TO this bill, at first re-
g1rded the subject with some levity, and
Thought the matter might be futile and
that it was ehimerical, but the longer
have thought about it and the more
closely I have examined it the more 1 am
convinced that there is practical utility
in it.
The best proof of a pudding is the
eating thereof. and the very best proof
ef the business sense of the world in
regard to a measure is what the business
men say Now. this measure has been
advocated by the National Chamber of
Commerce, representing 450,00 business
interests in this country. That in itself,
IN my judgment. would be conclusive
proof of the merits of the matter But
further than that permit me to observe
to this distinguished assembly that this
very measure, according to Mr.. Brunei,
who is a skilled public service engineer in
Providence, R. l., is estimated to save
~, 100000 in fuel in the United States in
ore year. We have cried for fuel; we saw
THAT there is a scarcity of it. We all
know We need it, and need it all the time.
ard if that item alone is to be taken into
consideration. it would be moving con-
sheraton to me-"

Ridiculed at First.

| In the debate on the bill in the House
Mr. Hicks IF New York said:
. 1.-The full merit of this proposed legis-
1ation has been obscured behind the
Elouds of ridicule and lack of under
standing, some of the darkness which
this bill seeks to eliminate. This meas
ure does not propose to change either
the laws of nature or the habits of man.
But it does seek To alter the conditions
under which we work and play Let
the say that, briefly. the setting for
ward of our clocks neither lengthens
nor shortens the hours of toll The
working day under the new arrange
ment- of time remains the same. SO far
as the actual length in hours of that
day is concerned 1t merely means that
the working day will commence one
one hour further away from sunset than
at present And as a corollary the time
for recreation will begin one hour
earlier and end one hour earlier. That
is all there is to the proposition in its
simple analysis. In other words, We
merely borrow 60 minutes from the
afternoon and lend them to the morning.
This will enable us to do more in
the early hours of the day and then
have more time for recreation in the
afternoon. while it is yet light The
same amount of time for work and the
same amount of time for play will be
ours as at present, the only difference
being that our work and our pleasures
viii be cDnsummated in daylight. 1t
means that, accomplishing the same, We
cut off one hour of darkness. thereby
benef1ting health and saving that much
artificial light and the corresponding
amount of fuel to produce that light
7 am heartily in favor of the PROPOSE

Deeply Interested in France.
Gave Prizes for Fine Art.

Mr. StiIlman's first large benefaction
to France was gift of 100000 in 1905
to establish prizes for the School of
Fine Arts in Paris. For this sub
scription he was honored by the su-
perior council of instruction of France.
He later was decorated as a chevalier
of the Legion of Honor. He purchased
a residence in Paris in 1907 and there
were persistent reports that he would
make his home abroad. They proved
unfounded, however, and although he
spent much of his time in travel he
never lost touch with his affairs in this
country. In 1908 he gave another $780,
900 to the Paris School of Fine Arts
For the part he took in floating bona
issues during the Russo-Japanese war
he was decorated with the Order of the
Rising Sun by the Emperor of Japan.

Plan Year Old in Europe.
The general plan proposed was
adopted last year in many European
countries with marked success and has
the approval of virtually all industries
and commercial establishments in the
United States. Its adoption is particu-
larly urged by the national war garden
commission for its value TO war gar
denerS. The commission in a state
ment, estimating the number of war
gardeners at 100000. says:
: FIN seven months of twenty-six days
each there will be an addition of DO
COS, 900 hours to the working time OF

Average IS Per Cent.

In general, this order of the COM
mission allows increases averaging Is
per cent in rates not raised by the COM
missions decision last June % in the
- per cent case. which had been pend
ing for many months. The order then
was estimated to increase the roads
freight revenues a little more than 5
per cent, and railroad men figured to-
day that the latest increases would give
eastern roads between : and 10 per
cent more
In addition to ordering the general in
crease in commodity rates, the commits
sion took special action in number of
pending cases closely related to the Is
per cent case. and considered in con-
junction with it. These are as follows:
Anthracite coal. increased by IS cents
ton maximum.
Brick, clay and related articles, in
creased Is per cent from producing
centers near Canton, Ohio. to Ohio, In

Secretary Elected.
Joseph F. Brashears was elected sec
rotary, George r Linkins was chosen
to serve on a committee to confer with
Commissioner Gardiner in the matter
of framing new insurance laws, and
Thomas 4. Ellis was selected to serve
as delegate TO the Federation of Citi-
Zens' Associations. Miss Winafred Cor
win of the University of Wisconsin
appeared as a member of the National
Noman's Party and asked an indorse-
ment by resolution of their suffrage
measure.
Mr.. Linkins objected to that part of
the resolution which provided for send
ing a copy of it TO the President The
President. he stated, has enough to oc-
cupy his attention without having such
resolutions sent him. The change was
made and the resolution adopted.
Street Car Conditions "Scandalous.n
IF it would do any good" said Mr..
Edwards. Il would like the associa-
ton to adopt a resolution cussing the
Washington Railway and Electric
toTs existing on the Lincoln Park
line. The westbound cars are usually
crowded when they reach Lincoln
Park. and by the time they reach the
Capitol the passengers are so closely
packed in them that it is almost i'm
possible to get a breath of air"
President Smith and b. J. Northcott
told of long delays they had expert
enced on that particular car line, and
it was said that both the equipment
and force are stiIl suffering from the
effects of the strike.
Frederick Muller said he had sup-
gested to Senator Dillingham; that two
kinds of street car tickets should be
provided for this city, ten for a quar-
ter and six for a quarter, the former
to be used when a seat is not Obtain
able on entering car and the latter
when a seat is obtained.
The association voted to send a pro-
| test to the public utilities commission
against the service on the Lincoln
Park line.

FREIGHT INCREASE IS.
GRANTED BY | c. c..
Fifteen Per Cent Raise in Rate
Effective Where June II De-
cision Did Not Operate. ,
$58,000,000 IN REVENUE

Increases of about Is per cent in COM
modify rates. effective as soon as the
railroads file new tariffs, probably with
in few weeks, have been granted by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to lines east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
The new rates approved by the COM
mission yesterday supplement a SINH
lar increase allowed last June in class
rates and apply only to articles shipped
in large quantities such as coal, brick,
grain, foodstuffs, oil, stone, cement,
lumber and other staples shipped under
Commodity" classification.
The increase does not affect western
or southern territory, except for ship
ments originating in the east and des-
tined west or south. or originating
west or south and destined east. About
$5S,000,000 will be added to the revenue
of the eastern roads by the new rates,
although the railroads earnings &C
tually will not be increased, because
the sum will revert to government I'M
der the system of common operation
and the roads will be paid on the basis
of fixed compensation outlined in the
railroad control bill.

Twelfth Richest Man.

A recent list of the country's richest
men. published here in connection with
the probable income taxes payable by
them for war revenue purposes, placed
Mr.. Stillman as twelfth, and credited
him with an income of S3,500.0O0 in
1917. On this basis his wealth was
estimated at s70,O00,0o0. Other esti-
mates, however, are not SO conServa-
tive, and his fortune is placed at more
than 100000, 200.
Soon after America entered into the
war Mr.. Stillman again assumed active
connection with affairs of the National
City Bank, the banks active head, Mr..
Vanderlip. being released to the gov
eminent for war work. For more than
ten years he had sought relief from

death late yesterday came as a sur
prise, although he had been confined
to his room for the last month.

Mr.. Stillman always had been deeply
interested in France and had given lib
orally to her war charities since she
tributed 100000 to the American relief
