Refuses to Raise Rail Rates.

Milwaukee, Oct 21.-Milwaukee
railroad officials received a telegram
from Director General Walker %.
Hines Of the United States railroad
administration, through r. Fl. Ashton,
regional director of the administration,
with reference to the resolution of rail-
road executives objecting to the posi-
ton taken by the director general of
railroads to the effect that the railroad
administration ought not to undertake
an increase in railroad rates. "The
suggestion Of the railroad executives
that the railroad administration make
increase in rates can mean only one
thing, and that is that the railroad ad-
ministration shall make these increases
during federal control for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the railroads UNI
der private management after the end
Of the federal CONTROL states the
Hines telegram. This is true, because
the conclusion has been reached with
approval Of the president, that it Is
not in the public interest to make an
immediate increase in rates for the
purpose of increasing the revenues of
the railroad administration during fed
eral control"

AUTO SLAYER GETS. IA YEARS
J. D. Montgomery, Driver of "Death
Carr Which PIowed Through
Crowd at Milwaukee, TO APP
peal to High Court.

Milwaukee, Oct. 21.-Judson T..
montgomery, driver of the death carr
which plowed through crowd at Thir-
teenth and Wells streets, killing three
and manning one other, will be taken
TO the state penitentiary to begin a
sentence of IA years. The sentence,
the minimum for second degree MUIR
der was imposed by Judge Chester M.
Fowler. No arrangements for trans
ferring Montgomery from the county
jail to Waupun had been completed, it
was announced at the sheriff's Office.
Judge Fowler denied the motion Of
the defense for new trial and also de-
cllned to issue certificate of doubt as
to the application of second degree
murder in this case, stating that, in his
opinion, the matter ought to take the
usual course. Montgomery's attorneys,
Henry E. Cochems and Hubert Wolfe,
announced they would ask the supreme
court for stay of execution. Should
the stay be granted Montgomery would
be subject to bail pending the time nec-
essary to perfect the appeal. Asked if
he had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon him, Mont
gomery, whose voice was strong and
clear, said: Your honor, want to say
this, that am sorry and that no one
regrets my part in that awful tragedy
more than do. would not willfully
or Intentionally harm living soul.
Though it is little, your honor, shall
make my best efforts to care for the
woman who was injured in the way
she should be cared for" Before SEN
tence was pronounced, Judge Fowler
said that had he passed on the case
himself, he very probably would have
decided fourth degree manslaughter,
instead of second degree, but added
that, admitting the jury had rightsto
draw the inference Montgomery wassof
clear mind from his statement to- The
police the morning after the tragedy,
the verdict was warranted After it
was all over and few were in the court
room, Judge Fowler said he wished to
speak to Montgomery. He told the de-
fendant there was no feeling of ami
mostly on his part and said: Il am
sorry you feel you did not get square
DEAL" Judge Fowler extended his SYM
pathy, then shook hands with Mont
gomery. In his arguments to the court
Attorney Wolfe confined himself to the
legal aspects of che case. Mr.. Coch-
ems attacked the character of the pros
ecution, charging that District Attor-
ney label tried to cheaper and de-
grade the very heart and soul of a
truthful defense" The Montgomery
case is the first automobile tragedy in
Wisconsin in which jury returned a
second degree murder verdict. 1t is
this point and the field of inquiry lead
ing to it, as well as Judge Fowler's in
depreciation of the law, which will be
presented to the supreme court by At
torneys Wolfe and Cochems.
