SWEEPING INCREASE
ALLOWED RAILROADS

Washington, July 31.-Sweeping
rate increases were granted the Ma
tons railroads in a decision handed
down late to-day by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The freight
increases awarded are as follows:
Eastern railroads, 40 per cent; south
ern, rs per cent; western. 35 per
cent; mountain Pacific group, q per
cent. The average increase was ap-
proximately 81 per cent, which was
the amount asked by the railroads.
Excess baggage rates were also in
milk and cream carried on passenger
trains were also increased 20 per
cent. Pullman charges were in
creased so per cent, the increase to
accrue to the carriers. This vas the
amount OF increase the railroads
asked on Pullman fares. The in
creases granted may be put into eff
feet by the railroads after five days
notice to the general public. 1t is
estimated the increases will bring the
AOdaS 1pOVVsVVVsO ahhudAAy. lnCy
had asked $1,645.000,0 900.
WILL BOOST PRICES
Just what these new freight and
passenger charges will mean in in
creased living costs to the general
public may be estimated from the
prediction by former Director-Gener-
al of Railways Walker d. Hines that
the freight rate increases would be
reflected from three to five-fold in
commodity prices.
This would meal that prices gen.
orally would be boosted from S4,5O0,-
5000 to $500, 0OO.O 600 annually.
This view is not generally held by
railroad officials. who admit, how
ever, that the yearly expenditure of
the American people, based on a pop
ulation of 100000 will be in
creased by about $3.5o0,0O0. 900.
Such an increase would mean a per
capita expenditure Of about $50 for
every man, woman and child In the
United States, according to railway
statisticians.
Treasury officials generally are
anxious to have the new rates made
applicable as 500 as possible. for un-
der the guarantee clauses of the
transportation act. passed at the last
session of Congress, the Government
must reimburse the roads II their re-
turns fall below 6 per cent.
The roads we're returned to their
own management on March l..
In the ensuing five months It Is es-
timated that the Government will
have to pay more than S50O,0O0,00O
to the carriers under the guarantee.
Because OF these heavy payments
financial executives of the Govern
ment wish to see the roads placed on
a self-supporting basis as soon as
possible.

Probably through being kicked in

named T. r. Judson, whose home is
at S%unnyvale, California, was killed
in the mountains near Tuscarora a
few days ago. Three days before
the body vas found he went riding,

him. The result was the finding OF
the body badly decomposed, the tor

employed in the Western Pacific yards
at this place as switchman, was
brought back from Los Angeles the

LAKE TAHOE WAS c H

Lake Tahoe is often said to occupy
an old volcanic crater. This is not a
fact. II is true that the region about
the lake shows evidence Of volcanic
activity OF various kinds and that the
water has at times probably been
damned by outpourings Of lava, but
the lake itself lies In a structural de-
pression-a dropped block Of the
earth's crust.
The prehistoric Lake Tahoe was
larger and deeper than the present
lake. according to the United States
geological survey. During the Ueo-
Gene epoch and the earlier part of the
Pleistocene epoch its water stood
much higher than now. but in its ov-
erfow II has since cut through the
lava dams that maintained IL at that
height. Distinct beaches that mark
the former higher levels OF the lake
stand about 100 feet above its pres
ent surface. but the water doubtless
once stood at even greater heights.
At Tahoe City the most distinct of
these old beaches is a terrace that
stands IS to 40 feet above the level
of the lake. 1t is on this ancient
beach that Tahoe Tavrn is built.

MORALE AIDED BY MUSIC
Fact Brought Out by the War Bound
to Have Great Effect on Future
Generations.

"Music makes morale" and so
promptly music was enlisted in the
war. Song leaders were appointed at
all the training camps and immedi-
ately the glory of real music was
spread before the millions of men
as q reinforcement and aid to the
idealism which had brought them into
the war.
From then on the soldiers had mu-
sic individually, in masses, in groups.
They made 1t themselves, it was made
for them by our finest artists. They
had monographs. They had records
by the millions. The process Of musl-
cal education was swift, and the pu-
pills were apt. Now they have returned
to US men who know good music
as large part of their life and en-
tertainment, have become reasonably
apt performers themselves in a great
many cases. What must this mean to
the country3 1t must mean that the
people as whole are reader than
ever before to listen to 1t as we'll as
to be taught 1t.

COULDN'T FORGET THE GREEN
Mrs. FIannigan's Neat Expression Of
Loyalty to Her Native and Her
Adopted Land,

Mrs. Flanagan for years has proud
ly exhibited from her front window
row of geraniums, in pots wrapped
in bright, Irish green crepe paper,
says the Indianapolis News. But the
other day when her neighbor, whose
son was in France for several months.
pulled back her window curtain and
revealed her flower pots. decorated In
red, white and blue paper, Mrs. Elan.
nigan was visibly troubled. She wor-
ried and worried. 1t is quite hard to
be loyal to two countries at the same
time, yet Mrs. Flanagan desired to
be SO.
Then one morning her wide Irish
smile came back to her face. And
passers-by saw in the Flanagan front
window a row Of flower pots brave in
red, white and blue coverings and
every covering was tied to the pot
with a wide band Of green ribbon. !

MAKES CONFESSION
ADDS THREE MORE MURDERS TO
RECORD PREVIOUSLY CON.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Los Angeles, Cal, May ia total
of nine murders of women he had mar
ried has been confessed by the man,
who, under the name of James P. Wat
son, was sentenced to life imprison-
ment for the murder Of Nina Lee De-
loney, according to Thomas Lee Wool
wine, district attorney.
The alleged confessions, according
to the district attorney, accounted for
all those missing among the twenty or
more women the man was said to have
married.
Three more of the alleged murders
are now known. They We're the slay-
ings of Mrs NJ. A. Watt of Winnipeg,
Canada, and Marie Austin and Flea
nor Frazier of Calgary, Canada. The
first two were drowned in Lake Occur
d'Alene, Idaho, and the last in the SpO-
kane river, Washington, it was said.
In addition the man asserted his
true name was Dan Holden and that
he had been born of respectable
family in Arkansas, where he was
reared.
Like the original "Bluebeard," Wat
son, or Holden, took one wife too
many and through her was turned over
to the authorities. She was Mrs. Kath-
ryn Wombacher, formerly Of Tacoma,
WASH, whom he married last NOvem-
ber, under the name of Walter An
drews. He brought her here and they
began housekeeping in Hollywood.
Shortly after their arrival Watson
told her he had to go away on busi-
ness. She said he used what was un-
derstood to be his favorite excuse
that he was an agent of the United
States government, operating against
diamond smugglers.
Mrs. Wombachers suspicious were
aroused by his second trip from
'home" Watson had a black hand
grip she had found herself unable to
open. She told her suspicious to
detective agency. The dates Of some
of his absences from home correspond
ed with those of safe robberes in and
near Los Angeles and she believed he
was connected with them.
The detectives asked assistance of
the sheriff and two officers watched
Watson obtain the black grip from a
saleswoman at candy counter. They
rode to Hollywood on the same car
with Watson and the grip and watched
his house all night. When he left
they searched the grip. In it they
found bonds, savings stamps, marriage
licenses, letters from women, scores of
kilograms and storage house receipts.
They arrested Watson, April 8, after a
fight.
Watson told the officers he was a
government agent and said If taken
to San Diego he could show them his
credentials.
On the way Watson drew pen
knife and slashed his throat. He
turned up his coat collar and hid the
wound until San Diego was reached
and he had bled nearly to death. He
was taken to a hospital and the next
day, while a patient, he slashed his
wrists.
