Claim New Freight Rates Radical and
Disastrous as Applying to Florida

confiscation of the great fruit and
vegetable industry of the State, not
only in the increase of rate to the
markets, but in addition, the increases
which this industry will have to bear
upon crate material, fertilizer materials
and wrapping paper.
Chairman Burr, Commissioner Dunn
and Rate Expert Tench left Sunday for
Washington for a conference with
other state commissioners on Tuesday.
The Commissioners have an appoint
ment on the morning of the 9TH with
Director General McAdoo with refer
ence to this matter, when it is con-
fidently expected that they will be able
to show to the director general that a
mistake has been made in the method
contemplated by this order to raise the
necessary revenue to meet the in
creased demands of transportation.
Neither the Florida Railroad Commits
sioners, the commissioners from other
states, or the shipping public contem-
plate for one moment opposing neces-
sary increases in freight and passenger
rates which are required to raise the
revenue which the government Will
need for the operation and mainte-
nance of our railroads, due to increased
cost of labor, material and necessary
extensions and betterments of these
properties. including the guaranteed
return which the government has by
law assured to the carriers, but they
will oppose any increases which place
burden upon the shipping of the
country in excess of these items and
they will further oppose the tearing
down of the entire rate structure OF
the country in order to secure what
ever increase may be deemed neces-
sary. We will insist upon the struc-
ture as it exists, and that all relation
ships between commercial and trade
centers shall remain as at present, TAX
ing the position that any revenue nee
essary should be raised by flat per-
centage increase to the present rate
structure.
The Commissioners also requested
the presence of Mr.. w. d. Nelson, traf-
fic manager of the Jacksonville Traf-
fic Bureau and Mr.. w. E. Gardner.
traffic manager of the Georgia-Flor
ida SawmilI Association. to assist us in
an analysis and preparation OF exhibits
but these gentlemen had already made
appointments to meet in Atlanta with
the traffic managers of all commercial
bodies and industrial concerns through
out the southeast, for the purpose OF
a general analysis of the Director Gen
erals order. They notified us to this
effect and we advised them TO attend
the Atlanta meeting.

ALL READY FOR
REGISTRATION DAY

WASHINGTON. d. c.. June g.
American history has recorded June
as Service Day'-upon which, one
year ago. the men of this country
responded to the call Of the selective
draft. BY proclamation of the Pres
dent, the anniversary will be observed
tomorrow by holding the second draft
registration-for men who have be-
come Of military age since the first
registration a year ago.
AS long as the war lasts it is prob
able a similar registration will be held
on June 5. 1t is believed 100000 class
/ physically fit men will be added to
the Nations defence columns annual
ly by this program.
The regulations for tomorrow's reg
istration will offer wide departure
from the procedure of last years reg
istration, in that there will be no mas
ter list for determining the order
number" of registrants. In the new
regulations, provision is made that
each registrant shall be given an order
number to be assigned by the local
board, no serial numbers being issued.
Tomorrows registration will en-
brace the whole territory of the Unit
ed States with the exception of Alaska,
Hawaii and Porto Rico, for which sep
arate registration days are to be
named.

TWO PORTERS ARE
ALSO LOCKED UP

AS an aftermath OF the negro social
gathering on Pullman sleeping car
near the railroad station early Sunday
morning, when two porters from other
points along the road made their es-
cape from the police, and only one
porter, Ernest Scott was caught, these
supervisors OF the road as they
styled themselves, are now in the city
jail.
1t appears that one supervisor"
was named ]. r. Alexander and after
the trial Monday morning in the re-
corder's court, he appeared upon the
scene and flourishing his money an
nounced that he was there to pay cut
Ernest Scott.
And the police officials told him he
could, at the same time, pay himself
out, and locked him n cell
1t appears that E. G. Bartlett, the
third negro supervisor" Of the road
became nervous when Alexander did
not appear with Scott at a trysting
place, and also went to the police sta
tion to make inquiries about his COM
panions.
He was invited to meet them and
was conducted to a. cell in the same
tier and the doors changed behind him.
Now all three supervisors" are on the
superannuated railroad rolls.

HOW DRY | Am"
POPULAR D|TTY IN
CITY FOR 5 DAYS

How Dry / AM" was the popular
ditty about Pensacola, Sunday and
Monday and the second third and
fourth verses will be sun today
The Sabbath came along and all wet
goods emporiums were closed as usual
but Monday morning moved up accord
ing to calendar and the front and back
doors of the places which dispense
liquid refreshments were air tight
Then 1t dawned upon some of those
who had consumed their Sunday sup
ply that Frank r. Pou was having an
election all by himself and under the
law the thirst centers had to be closed.
No one blamed Mr.. Pou but some
thought the statutes were choking on
a gnat and swallowing an elephant.
Even a popular near beer, which is
sold in the city, had run short and
nothing was left to quench thirsts but
soft drinks which contained syrup and
the sweet Ingredients did not ferment
inside fast enough to stimulate.
Today will be a repetition and the
men who like to chase the dust out OF
their Threats with the foamy amber
fluid and the red monster, will have to
bring to bear mind over matter for the
next twenty-four hours.
Saturday before o'clock sellers of
intoxicants had on extra forces OF
clerks The demands were fast and
furious. Even the negro porters were
serving bottled goods and ringing up
the cash registers noisily All hands
laid aft the wet goods and the car
goes that went out would make Pen
sacola Bay look like a mill pond.
Most of the purchasers We're those
who had arranged fishing trips and
they took with them on their outings
several kinds of temptations, some in
the way of bait for fish and nibbles for
themselves.

TALLAHASSEE, June Especial y
Before leaving for Washington, SUNDAY
afternoon for the purpose of attending
a conference of State Railroad Commits
sioners, Chairman r. Hudson Burr, OF
the Florida Commission gave out the
following statement.
General Order No. %, issued by Dir
rector General McAdoo of the Federal
Railroad Administration, received here
a few weeks ago, was found upon in
spection to be so radical and disas-
trous in its effect upon the shipping
interest of the whole country and Flor
ida in particular that the Florida Rail-
road Commissioners Immediately re-
quested the presence in Tallahassee of
Mr. c. s. Hoskins, traffic manager.
Tampa Board of Trade; Mr.. C. H. Van
Horn of Baker and Holmes CO., and
traffic manager of the Wholesale Gro
GERS Association of Jacksonville AMI
Mr.. C. NJ. Tyler, Traffic Manager for
]. c. Chase & CO., growers and hand
Jacksonville for the purpose of analyz-
ing this order and preparing exhibits
with Mr.. J. II. Tench, rate expert of
the commissioners, in order to show
the effect of the order on Florida traf-
fic.
Instead of 25 per cent flat increase
in the rates as indicated by the order,
an analysis shows that with the cam
collation. of the tariffs, changes of clas-
sification and freight rules and carload
minimums the actual advances will be
nearer a flat 30 per cent increase upon
traffic moving in quantity, and in
which a majority of the shippers are
interested. The increase in rates will
range from the flat 25 per cent up to
as much as 800 per cent on some COM
modities and for some typical hauls.
If this order is enforced as it now
reads it will mean the tearing down OF
the entire rate structure of the State
Of Florida, which has been built UP
through years of work to meet the pc
culiar geographical and climatic condi-
tions of the State OF Florida.
Some of the typical items that are
vitality effected are cotton, cotton seed,
cotton seed oil, wood, agricultural im-
Elements, fertilizer materials, canned
fruits and vegetables, sugar, flour and
many grocery items, ground limestone
and commodity corn rates established
in Florida for the movement of Flor
ida grown corn to the ports in compe-
tition with corn from the west and
down the Atlantic seaboard, which In
dustry has been growing in the last
two years under these conditions.

ASKS ANVU[MENT Of
MARRIAGE Of HIS
YOUTHFUL DAUGHTER

Annulment proceedings We're insti-
tuted in the superior court yesterday
by J. T. Olson who is seeking to have
the marriage of his daughter, Maureen
Olson Rankin, and Mark Rankin set
aside
Mr.. Olson, who was recently ap-
pointed guardian of his pretty 17-year-
old married daughter, bases his claim
for annulment on the fact that the
marriage took place without his con-
sent, which is contrary 10 the Califor-
MIA law. The marriage took place in
Long Beach last summer and Olson
alleges that neither he nor his wife
gave their consent. He asks that his
daughter be given her freedom and the
right to resume her maiden name
The wedding of the popular Phoenix
girl to the Californian came as a de-
cided surprise when it was announced
few months ago. 1t was generally
understood that Miss Olson, who com
pleted her high school course only
last spring, would attend a finishing
school this winter when she and her
mother left for the coast in the sum
mer.
Her marriage followed a short ac-
quaintance With Rankin, according to
a complaint filed in the office of the
clerk Of the court yesterday. The
wedding, it is understood took place al
the home of a relative Of the bride and
was a charmngly appointed affair
Mrs. Rankin left her husband after SIX
weeks, returning to this city where she
is now living with her parents.

WOULD FREE WOMAN
WHO KILLED HUSBAND

That Justice De SouZa was without
jurisdiction in the matter is the claim
made by W. +. Ryan. who is seeking
the release of Mrs. May Glenn, charged
with manslaughter, on the ground that
the crime with which she is charged
was committed in the east precinct,
while the procedure was taken by the
authorities in the west precinct justice
court.
Habeas corpus proceedings were in
stituted shortly after noon yesterday,
when the petition for the release OF the
woman who shot her husband at a
Christmas party at their home was
filed. The writ was made returnable
before Judge Lyman at O'clock.
Neither side had presented all its au-
thorities when court adjourned, and
Judge Lyman allowed additional time
Monday morning, stating that he would
hand down his decision before noon.
Mr.. Ryan contends that since the
shooting occurred on North Ninth
street. the action should have been
brought through the regular channel
