Another Increase m
 Rates Ls Abandoned
Republicans Deny Necessary Funds For Continuing Fight
 On Fu-Negro Clerk Is Cause of Contro- versy Among Senators.
By HUGH w. RoBERTs.

Washington, June 22.-tSpeciaD.-An CT horizontal increase in freight rates for the southeastern territory. including Ala administration, has been abandoned or rather has been referred to the interstate commerce commission.
 As the case is at the foot of the docket, and may not receive attention within the next 12 months, to all effects the inten- ton of the administration is abandoned.
 Some time ago, the interstate commerce commission planned to increase rates 10 per cent. The railroad administration, succeeding to power, made the increase 9 per cent. The present abandoned plan of the administration was for another 15 per cent increase.
 Florida led all states in making pro- tests And 1t was a representative or Florida who turned the trick.
 Representative Drane informed Senator Fletcher that if the proposed increase went into effect, he would open fight against The railroad administration on the floor, a fight which would induce the support of several other democrats, and all the republicans, fight which would greatly embarass the railroad adminis- tration.
 Senator Fletcher carried this infor1na- ton to the railroad administration. The senator deplored the situation. He shook his head lu.ubriously. He then retired.
 The following day, the administration notified Senator Fletcher that the plan had been abandoned for the present, and the determination of it's justice, referred to the interstate commerce commission It is at the foot of the docket. Before it's conclusion, an entirely different state of affairs might have been developed
 Drane's tactics might have been based entirely on bluff, it is said.

ITALIANS DISTURBED S


 Paris. June 22.-The Italian delega- tion to the peace conference has been disturbed by frequent suggestions in the French newspapers that German influences are affecting Italian poll tics and also by intimations that the Italians have supplied arms and am- intuition to Bela Runs soviet govern ment in Hungary.
 Members of the Italian delegation say the alleged anti-French feeling against Italy is easily explained by the work of French propagandists, who are blamed by the Italians for the recent unfriendliness to the ItaI- ians by President Wilson and the United States. The delegation has been advised from Rome of the deslg- nation by King Victor Emanuel of Signor Nitti to form new cabinet Up to the present. however, the mem bers of the delegation are without of- ficial information as to the actual SC . lection of any members of the new government

 BASIS OF OPPOSITION

Washington, June 22.-(SpeciaD- Senator simmons of North Carolina says the op- position to the league of nations is at- tributable to certain captains of industry fearful at the developing power of or- ganized labor.
 In this connection, he adds: 'I have looked for the cause of the vicious at tack against the league of nations, but have not found satisfactory answer unless it be the growing influence and power of organized labor throughout the world and especially in this country. l believe the opposition comes from a cer- tain element of the captains of industry due to the increasing demand of work ing people for more money and better conditions

 The Weekly Dispatch says that, ac- cording- to an officer who visited the German fleet last month, the ships, when they arrived in Scapa Flow, were searched for explosives. The admiralty of the navy made this known last December. but then every body, including British officers, were kept away because 1t was the opinion of the government that the ships should not be treated as surrendered until the peace conference had decided their fate.
 '"The public will insist upon the dis closure of the plunderer of blunderers, whose trustfulness was so cynieaily abused,' says the Weekly Dispatch in lts editorial comment
 "As the ships were in the custody of the navy, as trustee for the allies, a most searshing investigation into the nature of the precautions taken obvi- ouSly is necessary"

ing to the cabinet headed by Herr Bauer, refused to accept the appointment or to have anything to do with the matter.
 Later in the day the centrists dropped their demand for modification of the terms, and expressed their willingness to such an extent that fifteen of their sixty-five members in the assembly went over to the side in favor of signing.
 The first ministry of Herr Baeur lasted exactly one hour. It crashed on the Bernstorff's flat refusal to head the min istry of foreign affairs. Dr. Dernberg. who had been named as minister of fin- ance, declared he could not cooperate. The democrats then reduced their de- mand to one point, on which they were adamant, namely, that the former Ger man emperor, Von Hindenburg and Ludendorff must not be delivered to the entente for trial.
