R.R. BOOK VALUES
ARE QUESTIONED
Shippers Attorney Hints at
Padding" In Hearing on
Freight Rate Raise.

Book values OF the railroads seek
ing an increase of si.0IT 900. 900 In
freight rates were bitterly attacked
by Clifford Thorn. representative OF
mid-Western shippers. in the cross
examination today OF George M.
Shriyer, vice president OF the Bslti'
more and Ohio railroad, In hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Thorn in his questions sought to
establish the fact that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad has rendered state
ments to its tockholders In which
the outsta nding stocks and bonds OF
the company were not separated from
the book-value OF the corporation,
Schriver said he did not know such
separation had ever been made In a
report issued to the stockholders.
Thorn questioned Schriver as to the
possibility OF the book value OF the
railroad being padded" He also
closely questioned the witness re-
garding accrued depreciation OF the
railroad properties from the war
period and asked how the companies
had determined the amount and cN-
tent OF such depreciation.
Schriver reviewed the reports OF the
engineers OF his company who had
made a study OF depreciation. and ex-
pressed the belief that the reports
were accurate and reliable.
Shippers indicated today they Will
contest the huge increase in rates
until II is ascertained whether the
property values on which the in
creases are asked represent sound ap.
praisement. and also whether the
claimed amounts OF depreciation are
in any wise padded"
The hearings before the Commission
are quiet compared with the stormy
sessions that have marked requests
OF the railroads in the past for high
er rates. Many of the big shippers
OF the country are not represented
and others have not manifested OPP
position to the advance. except in
some details.

COLBY SILENT ON
ARMENIAN ISSUE
Secretary Of State Pleads BUS
mess" and Stays Away
From Conference.

Pleading urgent business as an ex-
euse. Secretary OF State Colby today
failed to appear before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee to explain
and advocate a United States man
datory over Armenia, as recommend
ed by President Wilson.
Chairman Porter, OF the commit
tee, had previously announced that
Secretary Colby had agreed TO ap-
pear before the committee this morn
ing to present the state Department
view OF the necessity for the pro-
posed mandatory The Secretary or
state was to have been heard by the
committee In open session.
w. ]. Carr, director OF the consular
service OF the State Department
brought word to the committee that
the Secretary was so burdened by OF
fcIal important matters he could not
appear today before the committee
Mr.. Carr said further that Secretary
Colby doubted that he would be able
to appear tomorrow. In fact' he
could not say when the Secretary
would be able TO come before the
committee.
Porter was disappointed that he
had to carry the message to his com
mittee. He asked carr 10 reques'
Secretary Colby to give the commit
tee his views in writing on the state
Departments idea OF the proposed
mandatory, it's provisions, the ertent
to which this Government may be
involved in money and the use OF
military forces. and the needs and
necessity for the United States to un
dertake the mandatory. The commit
tee has arranged no further hearings
on or procedure with the Presidents
message recommending a grant by
Congress to him to undertake the
Armenian mandatory.
Congressional Republican leaders
had planned immediate action by the
House on the mandatory request. As
a result OF a hurried poll OF House
members it is ascertained that sub
stantial majority is opposed to
any United States mandatory over
Armenia.
Definite rejection of the President
recommendations and refusal to &C
cept the invitation of the allied gov
ernments to the United States to take
the mandatory by the House would
end the matter and prevent necessity
of action by the Senate. Disposition
of this matter would help also. IL IL
