! IGNITE RATE
CHANGE MADE BY
MISTAKE; BOARD.
DEMANDS REMEDY

Bismarck, N. D. July 20.-North
| Dakota railways have made an i'm
portant mistake; they made it in
haste, admit that they made 1t, but
insist that the state must repent al
leisure, reports the railway commits
sion. When the railways establish
ed their new rates in Ignite, based
on Director General MeAdoos recent
order wiping out all preferential tar
ifs and boosting the rates Is and
IS, they did it on days notice, and,
the railway commission says, they
figured the boost in twice, in the
case Of two connecting lines. For
instance, the railway commission
points out, the Northern Pacific
Great Northern rate from Dickinson
to Devils Lake is $2.10, whereas 1t
should be $40 per ton Of Ignite.
The through rate from Dickinson to
Bismarck is $1.20 the ton, to James
town, N. D., $50. The joint rate
from Dickinson to Bathgate is $3.50,
whereas the railway commission
figures 1t at $2'I5; the Joint rate to
Dunseith Is $40, and the rail board
says it should be SITS, while the
joint rate Of S240 to Grafton should
be scaled down to $780, says the
rail board.
The railway traffic committee, has
assured the railway commission that
it will be glad to look into the mat
ter, but it must first refer It, to the
rate bureau at Minneapolis, and that
committee must refer it's findings to
the Chicago committee, and the Chi
cago committee must pass the buck
to the Washington committee, and
the Washington committee must
send it along to Director McAdoo, all
Of which will consume two to three
months Of the valuable time which
North Dakotans should be devoting,
says the federal fuel commission, to
storing Ignite against next winters

I'VE don't intend to beat the devil
about bush in this matter said
James A. Little. rate expert Of the
state railway commission today. "If
the railways can make a mistake of
this kind on one days notice, don't
believe the federal administration
intends to give them sixty or ninety
days to unmake it, and we shall so

The Mine Theory.

Washington, July 2O.-Although
Captain Christie Of the armored
cruiser San Diego reported his be-
lief that it was a torpedo that sent
the ship down off Long Island yes
terday, further reports today show
ing that five or six mines were
destroyed by warships in the vicinity
last night strengthened the opinion
of naval officers here that an en-
envy submarine was not responsible
for the disaster.
A statement by Rear Admiral
Palmer, acting secretary Of the navy,
describing the gallant conduct of
Captain Christie and his men, en-
phasized the absence Of any evtd-
ence Of the temperance of the en-
envy raiders.
A statement issued by Rear Ad-
miral Palmer, acting secretary of
navy, commends the exemplary con-
duct of officers and men Of the San
Diego, citing particularly the cour-
ageous behavior of Captain Christy,
who was the last to leave the ship.
AS the ship was turning over the
captain made his way over the side
and jumped overheard. He and the
executive officers were cheered by
the men in the boats and as the
cruiser went down the men sang
THE Star Spangled Banner"
The statement disclosed that five
or six mines were destroyed last
night in the vicinity Of the sinking
and that no reports have been re-
ceived of a submarine near there.
That there was little if any loss
of life is indicated by the fact that
the, ship was abandoned in good or
der, all hands remaining at their
posts until ordered to take to the
boats.
