The railways of this country intend

TO the wartime demurrage schedule is
sought by the carriers.
Announcement of the intention of the
roads desire to elevate demurrage
charges was made by the transpOrta-
ton section Of the general committee
of the American Railway association.
The National Industrial Traffic
league sent committee to Washing
ton to confer on the proposal to restore
wartime rates OF delnurrage, which
were as follows: Three dollars day
for the first four days of car detcn-
ton, So for the next three days and
$40 for each succeeding day of delay.
The Industrial league, it is stated.
protested against the increased charges
because the railways do not promptly
pull empties or take loads out of the
yards even if they do pull the loads
from the tracks or spurs.

Mike Kelly Refuses to Produce Extra $4 at Ticket
Agents Demand and MIR. Newman Lands i'm the
Police Station After Rough-and Tumble Journey
Mike Kelly, of the Chief Inspectors

Mike Kelly, of the Chief Inspectors
staff, dropped in last night ON Leo
Newman, who has theater ticket
agency at 1882 sBroadway, just south
of Forty third Street Mike was not
in merely to get four seats for the
"Gold Diggers" for Saturday night, as
he explained briefly to the portly and
rubicund Leo, who came forward him
self to wait on him.
AS he spoke, Mike laid $40 bill on
the counter. Mr.. Newman's affability
and alactrity suffered distinct shock
as he gazed at the single paltry bill.
II thought you said four tickets,'
said Mr.. Newman, preparing to with
draw the tickets.
Il did" i'd" said Kelly curtly, "and
-Four dollars MORE" said Mr.. New
man firmly.
"G'wan," growled Kelly, "dye think
I'm boob ?"--he displayed the shield
asshe spoke. "Twenty dollars I'm givin'
yey which is more than enough. The
price of those tickets is $3.50 each and
you're allowed to charge SO cents above
that and no more"
MIR. Newman Boiled Over
Only the virilc emphasis in Kelly's
statement had kept the lid on Mr. New
man, who was boiling with words and
aiire with indignation. Hadn't Judge
Rosalsky decided in the case of New
man himself that the ticket specula-
tion ordinance was void? Hadn't JUS
tice Greenbaum refused to rescind the
license of Leo Newman when urged to
do so by the Commissioner of Lii
censes? Hadn't the very Internal Rev.
enue agents been forced to acknowl-
edge that Leo Newman was in the
right?
Mr.. Newman boiled over as soon as
Kelly had had his say. He told all
about Judge Rosalsky's decision, all
baum and was we'll started on the In
ternal Revenue agents when Kelly
vaulted the counter and snatched the
tickets from his hand. Instantly the
entire Office force was upon the detec-
tive, striving to get the tickets from
him, and the fuming, sputtering pro-
prietor was in the forefront of the at,
tack.
1t was place OF peril as we'll as
honor Mr.. Newman discovered when he
staggered back from a buffet on the
nose. The next moment Kelly had him
by the "klosefit' collar of his brown
Zlgzag striped SUIT and was dragging
him ignominiously through Times
Square in the direction CT the West
Forty seventh Street police station,
Their progress was slow, but spec
tacular. Mr.. Newman was loudly de-
manding his fur-lned overcoat. feeling
almost indecent in his brown, zigzag
striped suit, his brown derby, with the
red feather in the hand; his patent
feathers and spats. Even the green
bordered handkerchief protruGing from
his breast pocket failed to soothe the

that a taxicab. Loudly he roared for
taxicab, and his office force. which
was bringing up the rear, valiantly took
up the roar. Reinforcements came in
the shape of horde of ncwsboys,
whom Mr.. Newman used as messengers
in his ticket business. Nobly they
rallied to his support, as the shins of
Mike Kelly bear witness.
So tumultuous was the uproar and
so far above the clamor Of the throng
did the plants of Mr.. Newman rise
that Patrolman Knudson, who came on
the run, was within an ace of pasting
one on the features Of Mike Kelly, so
he admitted later, in the belief that
the rotund Mr.. Newman was being
kidnapped in all his glory. Only the
uncanny dexterity with which Kelley
man aged to flash his shield while drag
ging Mr.. Newman and his newsboy
catastrophe. Knudson justified his mis-
apprehension later by pointing out that
Kelly had no partner"
AS they approached the Hotel Astor,
Mr.. Newman loudly exhorted his CO.
horts to "Grab the tickets! Grab the
tickets!" pointing to his abductor's
pockets. A young man who sidled close
to Kelly at this point was arrested also
on suspicion that he was trying to get
the TICKETS. In the West Forty-sev-
enth Street police station, where he
was charged with disorderly conduct.
this young man revealed himself
through cards which he distributed to
all and sundry, as Jack Cohen, Rep
rescntative of Henry w. Savage"
1t was great relief to Kelly and
Knudson when they got their prison
ers into side street. They had found
Times Square kind of cramped. Once
west of Broadway progress was more
rapid.
Newman Expounds Opinions
At the station house, Mr.. Newman
Judge Rosalsky and Justice Greenbaum
and referred in passing to remarks
made by the late Justice Dugro. He
told of his contributions to the Red
Cross, of the Liberty bonds he had
bought, of the overcoat he had left be-
hind, Of the taXicab he hadn't had, and
demanded, climacterically, to know it
he. Leo Newman, was to be arrested.
Lieutenant Scannell informed him
that he already was, arrested and
directed Kelly to search him, a process
Mr.. Newman underwent with re-
strained indignation which seemed to
threaten apoplexy. His champion, Jack
Cohen, representative of Henry w.
Savage, went through the same humil-
iating experience, although adding to
his predecessors oratory the state
ment that he had spent two years fight
ing overseas.
Hardly was the searching and book
ing finished when Mr. Newman's entire
Office force, their pockets bulging with
money, poured into the police station
and demanded. separately and together,
that bail be accepted. Lieutenant Scan
nell said the law forbade it, as court
was in session, and to night court New

Widow of SSMayor Ton''
Saved at Mott St. Fire
Policeman Burke FulfiIls Pledge
to Chinese Friend Given
at Deathbed

One of the last requests ever made
of his friends in Mott Street by Tom
Lee. for years the "Mayor Of China
town." was that when he died they
should honor his memory in one way
by seeing to it that no harm befell
Mabel, his wife. Among those who re-
ceived the old mans earnest appeal was
Policeman Philip Burke, whose beat
was in the crooked little streets where
Mayor Tom was known and loved.
And so when clouds Of smoke be3-
lowed through the front door of 1S
Mott Street, old headquarters of the On
Leong Tong, at 10 o'clock last night,
Policeman Burke leaped up the stair
way leading to the room occupied by
the widow of "Mayor Tom Lee" lifted
the frail little woman in his arms and
carried her, half unconscious, to the
street
When Policeman Burke returned to
the building he found smoke and
sparks issuing through an elevator
shaft up through the structure, and
together with Policemen Delaney. Col
lins and Caravatta, all of the ?d
Inspection District, he ran through the
Railways, tugging at sleepy Chinese
and pulling them to fire escapes.
Twelve in all were rescued
The building, owned by Chinese. tho
lower floor and Basement Of which were
filled with dry goods and leather owned
by Wing Chung, Of 34 Mott Street,
was damaged to tpF extent of only a

2.5 Beer Declared
Legal TN Wisconsin
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

MILWAUKEE, March 1.-The fight
o. Milwaukee "wets' for 2.5 per, ceat
beer ended in victory to-day. A
decision handed down by Federal
Judge Geiger rules it is legal for Wis
consin brewers to manufacture and
sell beer with an alcoholic content of
2.5 per cent or less.
The decision was given in the suit
Of the Manitowoc Products Company
against local Federal officials. in his
decision Judge Ieiger held that the
Volstead act could not take precedence
over the Mulberger law, which gives
to the state the right to define an in
toxicating beverage.
Judge Geiger, however. made It
clear that wartime prohibition is still
in force and until peace is declared
no beer containing in excess OF one
half of one per cent alcohol can be
legally manufactured.
W. II. Austin, counsel for Tire
brewers association. said tar brewers
would not make move to manufac-
turgeheer until the wartime prohibi-
tioaA AA-an had been lifted.

ENGLISH INTERESTS

Advertising Campaign to Gain @ South American Trade

BuenoS Aires March 19.-Some British interests here have under- taken a publicity campaign in what has been referred to as the great struggle" between the United States apd Great Britain for the markets of south America. Special telegrams' from London purporting to show that the United States is losing her South American markets, or other wise disparaging the United States, have been Sratuitously distributed by British advertising agency and have been widely published in Ar genuine newspapers.
 One of the teiegrams was q crti- cisln of Herbert Hoover for saying that the European countries should work more and ask less of the United States The telegram made comparison between the losses sustained by the European all lies in the war. particularly the British dominions, compared with those of the United States and point ed out that the losses of the Euro pean countries had reduced their praductive capacity. whereas the

United States had not suffered at all economically
 Another. of these special tele- grams" quoted the President of the British board of trade in London as saying: II believe that the United States is gradually losing the mar kets gained when Germany was wiped off the seas and while Britain was fighting in the war Britain is not only regaining but is enlargin g, her markets in South America and the Orient. We are replacing Ger many in Latin-America and sup planting the United States in war markets"
 The truth of this statement as far as it concerned Argentina was inn mediately challenged by the River Plate American, a weekly conner cial ma gazine, which has published an interview from Dr. Julius Klein, United States commercial attachc.
 Frankly said Dr. Klein, I'd like 10 know in what lines the Brit ish are enlarging their South Amer ican trade at our expense. The latest available figures showed anything but a loss. so far as our business in these markets is concerned. Perhaps the president Of the board of trade is referring to prospects for 1920. for which, however, no figures are as yet available, so far as I know.
