HINES TO REFUSE
RAIL MEMS WAGE
tBy the Associated Press.>

Washington. Feb, lO.--lt was gener-
ally believed here that director Gen
eral Hines would today go before rep
resentatives of the 20OD,GGD railway
workers and inform them their wage
increase demands could not be grant
ed. He is willing to go no furthe", 1t
is understood than to adjust alleged
Inequalities in wages.
The employees representatives are
expected to come forward with new
proposition for the settlement OF their
case but none of them would discuss
their plans prior to today's confer
ence which is expected to end the ne
g0tiations.
The director general is understood
to hold TO the opinion that it would
he inadvisable for the railroad admin
istration to order a general wage in
crease in view of the return OF the
lines to their private owners in less
than three weeks. He Is also said to
believe that higher freight and pass
enger rates would inevitably follow
an increase in wages.

REPORT REACHES
CITY PHONE RATE
CASE M|SCARR|ED
ATTORNEYS FAIL TO PRESENT
ENOUGH EVIDENCE WARRANT.
ING INCREASE IN CHARGES
ANOTHER HEARING Is SEIZED
ULEO At AN EARLY DATE.

Another hearing before the pubic
utilities commission In regard to me
proposed increase Of phone rates III
Ottawa, Utica and Harding Will nav"
10 be held before the local telephone
company can raise It's rates. Al the
hearne, held In Chicago IA few weeks
ago not enough testimony was given
TO persuade the commission to allow
the company to raise its rates, while
enough evidence was introduced To
cause the commission to feel that a
new hearing was warranted.
The company has been charging the
Increased rates since July, owing to a
special privilege granted il by the
commission, but in case 1t Is denied
the right to make the raise at the new
hearing a rebate of all the money
paid in by subscribers over the old
rate must be refunded. The pro-
posed rates call for doing away with
the party lines and fiat increase
OF approximately 30 cents per month
on all other lines.
At the hearing held before he com
mission in Chicago last month Mayor
Weeks and City Attorney Weese rep
resented the city. while Manager Fred
BEEN and Attorney Ben BOynton OF
Springfield made the fight for the
company. An effort was made on tn"
part OF the counselors for the city
to keep the proposed rates from going
into effect.
During the last few days Mayor
Weeks and City Attorney Weese have
been making an effort to have the pc
iltiOn dismissed.

CHAUTAUQUA SPEAKER
DIES AT GIBRALTAR

DR.. Cyril G. Hopkins, who has de-
livered addresses on several occas-
ions at the local chautauqlla, died in
military hospital in Gibraltar while
en- route home from Greece, where
he spent a year making il possible
for the people of that country to re-
gain the fertility of the worn out
soil. Dr.. Hopkins was connected with
the University of Illinois for more
than twenty-five years, and probably
did more for the farmer, who owned
poor land. than any other one resi-
dent of the state.
He originated the method of spread
ing limestone and phosphate in lay
ers on worn out soil and growing
clover, to repleat it. He delivered
addresses at hundreds Of farmers in.
stitutes and chautauquas, and was
one OF the most noted educational
men in the agricultural world.

WANT CLOTURE OUT
OF TREATY DEBATE

washington, FEB. 10. The peace
treaty, referred to the senate foreign
relations committee yesterday to
technically rid it CT cloture, was re-
ported back today by the committee
without debate and without record
vote. Republican and Democratic
leaders agreed, however, not to take
1t up in the senate until next week.
The committees action was entirely
perfunctory, the senate having given
instructions that the treaty be re.
ported out Immediately, together with
the Republican reservations adopted
at the last session of Congress. The
parliamentary result is to bring the
treaty and the reservations again into
Il status where amendments to either
can be offered and discussed without
any limitation on debate.
