ID ASK FOR AN
 INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES
Amount Mentioned In Discussion Is 25 Per ment Made After Conference Between Director Gen eral Hines and Representatives of Railway Executives Deficit Incurred By the Government In the Past Eight Months Approximates $29O, 100000.

put all it's information and the ser vices of its experts at the disposal of the railroad corporations if it was de sired to act independently before tho Interstate Commerce Commission The offer was accc-e ed.
 There was no indication how much of an advance the railroad men thought necessary to enable them to operate without a deficit. Indeed 1t Is considered likely that nobody now knows how far apart normal income and expenses are under the present rates. In announcing a growing deficit month after month. Director General Hines has made it clear that while increased payrolls and the higher prices of all materials and supplies had much to do with the failure Co make expenses. the abnormal falling off in business also was a prominent factor. The llst two months have seen business picking up to such an extent that the deficit is being cut down.
 The railroad officials, therefore viii have to figure on many things in ask ing the commission to give them high CT rates. The amount most often heard in discussing an increase has been twenty-five per cent. perhaps due to the fact that the last increase, initiat- ed by Director General McAdoo. was of that amount.
 Operating expenses have increased about 95 per cent. and the deficit in cured by the government in the first eight months of this year was ap- proximately $290, 0,000, 900. The substan- tial gap between income and expenses may be widened still further by the pending demands for more money made by virtually all the railroad unions.
 The conference between MT. Hines and the executives was said to have been occupied entirely with discussion of methods of procedure. Whether an advance was necessary and how much 1t should be if necessary did not en- ter into the talk. The railroad men insisted that the government should assume responsibility for the advance inasmuch as the wage raises. the chief item in the increased, expenses, had been ordered by the government. but when MT. Hines was seen to be adamant in his decision. it was de- cided to accept his offer of aid and proceed independently. There is no Likelihood that the actual application can be filed for weeks though work oh computing the data will start at once.

 FOR DEFECTIVE PIGNUOLO

Hartford. Conn., Oct. 2S.-The Pas Quale Pignuolo, a government detec- tive in New York, who was indicted by the federal grand jury in that city Wednesday on charge of having en- gagged in a conspiracy to blackmail liquor dealers. and thereby frustrate the operation of the wartime prohibi- ton law. achieved some notoriety in Hartford eight years ago. He was at that time in the federal service as . detective, and was tried for blackmail in the superior court in Hartford in 1911- His trial was one of the most sensational criminal cases that Hart ford has known in many decades. It was alleged that Pignuoio had at tempted extortion of s450 from Pat sy'' Fusco, keeper of notorious re- sort on Temple street, promising him protection from arrest in white slave cases that included people in New York and In Hartford.
 Pignuolo claimed Q "frame-up" on the part of the Hartford police. Tusco the chief witness. could not be found, and the jury deadiocked. six to six. on the case.

BOY BANDIT OPERATED IN
 CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK

New York. Oct. 23.=A r year old boy in the uniform of the United States navy consulted his carefully kept notebook in the West Side police court today. Then he told the judge how fifteen occasions enumera ted therein since Oct. , he had held up persons in Central Park at the point of a little .22 calibre revolver.
 Of his victims-eleven men and four women-the only one who had inspired him with fear. he said. was a young iady who drew a hatpin and pursued him in a desperate half mile chase among the trees and shrubs. His gross earnings in the .'holdup busi- ness totaIled no more than $22. .25, and the 25 cents was d war savings stamp
 The magistrate pronounced the case the most astonishing he had eyer heard and informed the young. Charles AL mendinger, that he looked more like a church choir boy than highwayman.
 Half a score detectives have been searching Central Park for the foot pads who have been helding up people there in unusual numbers since Oct. 5, it was learned when AlInendinger was brought into court. Comparison of his notebook with police records showed that 'i,e was the robbers" He was heiG for . --rther hearing.

 In official circles it was said that the latter course was the one the president had in mind and hope was expressed that the public delegates, which in reality in themselves repre- sent all three groups, would be able to formulate a programme acceptable to both capital and labor.
 Secretary Lane told conferees that the president would nominate further. should that action be deemed advisable, and suggested that experts be called in case the group decided to make extended in vestigations before formulating a re- port.
 Some of the public delegates main tained that their duty was only to re- port what had been done up to the time labor withdrew and then await the further pleasure of the president, while others insisted that they were called upon to proceed with the pro-
