of this year did not afford fair test

The manifest desire of the public

my view," wrote the director gen.
eral, ''has been and is that this i'm
portant matter must be handled in
accordance with the two following
considerations. First, the question of
an increase in rates could not prop
erly be considered on the exclusive
basis Of the unfavorable showing
which the railroad administration
was making in the early part of this
year, because that showing was very
largely due to an abnormally small
freight business, so that the results
OF that period could not fairly be
taken as test for making increases
In rates. Necessarily, therefore, it
seemed to me that the formulation
of any proposal for a general increase
In rates would have to await better
opportunity for making an estimate
as to what the earning capacity would
be under normal conditions. ! have
been increasingly confirmed in this
opinion by the variable developments
which have taken place.
"Second-It has seemed to me that
the public would not be satisfied I'M
der existing conditions to have any
general increase in rates put into eff
feet without the concurrence of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
public sentiment to this effect has
been manifested in many ways
throughout the year and has been EN-
phasized by the passage by two
houses of congress of two bills pro-
viding that there shall be an oppor.
tunity to review any rates proposed
by the railroad administration before
those rates shall go into effect. 1t
follows, therefore, that time and OPP
portunity must be provided for public
making authority of any rate propos-
ais now made"

by authorized investigators of the past
disturbances in that section.
According to these authorities, the
plot included a widespread uprising
in the event certain demands were
not met. With Oct 6 set as the day
for the uprising, negro prisoners are
said to have confessed, each member

following this demand the blacks we're
to shoot down all whites in sight A
list of twent--one names admitted to
represent the men to whom the de-
mand would be presented, is in the
hands of the investigating committee.
Killing of these twenty-one, the pris-
oners said, was to be the signal for all
members of the organization to at
tack the white population. An extern
sive courier system was explained in
the evidence, providing for messengers
known to the negroes as ''Paul Re.

appointed to ride into all parts of the

as national headquarters, with state
offices at Winchester, Ark.

the investigators. This password and

fessed to have been employed in sum-
moning blacks to Hoop Spur, Is miles
south of Helena, after W. A. Adkins,
special agent of the Missouri Pacific
railroad, had been killed, and Charles
Pratt. deputy sheriff, had been
wounded
The confessions were taken to ex-
plain the rapidity with which armed
blacks were assembled at Hoop Spur
and the neighboring towns of Elaine
following the incident. The state
ments added that at the time Adkins
was killed there were $50 armed ne
groes in the church at the scene of
the shooting. Some of these were
women, it was said, carrying auto
matte revolvers in their stockings.
