ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 1.-Executives
OF railroads with general offices in St.

with the action of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in granting rate in
creases. Officers of the Northern Pa
citic and Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul declined to make specific state
ments to-day. Ralph Budd, of the

especially pleased with the decision,
both in providing increased pay for en-
ployees and affording roads an oppor-
tunity of obtaining funds with which
to meet the payroll demands and
hnance new equipment badly needed
Chairman Ira B. Mills, of the Mime

in rates for Pullman and parlor car
service would empty those cars, while
IN his opinion the 20 per cent increase
IN passenger fares would arouse
storm of protest in all parts of the
country. The increases in freight rates
and the 20 per cent advance on milk
and excess baggage, he thought, would
meet with little opposition He based
his statement on the fact that passen-

Battered Hulks of Cruiser,

Craft Allocated to u. S.
Four Were in Jutland Fight;
Public May View Them;
To Be Destroyed in Year

The battered hulks of five former
German warshtps, allocated to the
United States for experimental pur-
poses and to be destroyed within one
year, are due in New York Harbor to-
day. They will be anchored in the Hud-
son River for two weeks and will be
open to public inspection.
The German ships, four of which
were in the thick Of the Jutland fight
against the British, are the dreadnought
Ostfresland, flagship OF Vice-Admiral
Schmidt, commanding battle squadron
No. in the Jutland engagement; the
light cruiser Frankfort and three de-
stroyers.
The Ostfriesland is the only ship of
the enemy feet that will enter this port
under her own power. British shells
wrecked the others beyond repair, and
it was necessary to tow them across the
ocean. The vessels sailed for New
York from Brest, France, in command
Of Captain Julius F. Hellweg, U. S. NJ,
and he will remain in. charge while
they are on exhibition here.
In the Jutland fight the 22,00O-ton
Ostfriesland was the ninth ship in the
line, Immediately in the rear of the
flagship of the German commander in
chief, Admiral Scheer Although rec
ords of the combat show that she was
in action during the entire engage
ment, the Ostfriesland was not dam
aged until after the withdrawal to
Wilhelmshaven began. She then struck
what was believed to have been a Ger
man mine and was towed into port
The Ostfriesland was a second line
battleship and mounted 12-inch guns.
The light cruiser Frankfort IS vrtr-
ally wreck and is being towed here
by the United States transport Han
cock. She was the first ship in the
German battle line when the Kaiser
fleet met the British at Jutland. She
was then the flagship of Rear Admiral
Brodicker and was leading division
of four scout cruisers when the Jut-
land engagement opened. She was
struck repeatedly by British shells, but
managed to remain in the engagement
until the Germans withdrew. The third
cruiser behind her was sunk in the
early part Of the fighting. The Frank
fort had speed of twenty eight knots,
and, during the war was reported to
have taken part in several raids on the
English coast
Of the three destroyers the G-1O2
and the Vas figured prominently in the
Jutland battle. The G-102 was with
the scouting forces operating with the

destroyer attack on the British battle

PHILADELPHIA, Aug Increases
in freight rates awarded by the Inter
state Commerce Commission should
be no justification for excessive infa-
tion of prices by retailers, according
to railroad officials and packers.
Fcodstutfs are transported by train
ana carlod lots, It was said, and by the
time the 80 per cent increase is divided
.ncnt the buyer should not find his
prices materially increased.
J. B. Large, general freight traffic
manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, declared that he believes the
retail prices should not materially in
crease.
The increase on a whole carload of
wheat or -four, for instance, he said,
will naturally be quite an item; but
there are SO many bags of -four in a
carload among which the increase will
be divided that the increase on each
bag should not be great"
Z. B. Crosley, vice-president of the
r aiding, III charge of traffic, said: "Of

the question deeply enough TO say just

Frederick NJ. Hail. general manager
of the Philadelphia territory of Swift

mission. On valuation of $500 ,00o,-
900 the Eastern roads would receive
$b28,ooo,00O. They asked for a return
OF $55a,400,000 and are receiving a
standard return from the government
OF S354. 100000, or approximately $780,

The valuation of the Western roads,
including those in the New Mountain
Pacific territory set up by the commits
sion for the purposes of the rate deci-
SION, is placed at $500 200, 900. The
Western roads thus would receive an

than the s537,S00,oOo which they
sought. The standard return they are
now receiving is $401 900, 900.
Southern roads were valued hy the
commission at s2,O00.O 900, so their
net operating income would be s12O.-

the. sum they sought and $4,000 900

Calder Would Cut
Goal Exports to
Relieve Shortage
New York Senator Forwards
Suggestions to Shipping
and Commerce Boards
TO Deal With Fuel Crisis

suggestions for relieving the acute
coal crisis in New York State and New
York City and in New England have
been offered to the Interstate Com.
merce Commission and the United
States Shipping Board in letters to
those bodies by Senator William M
calder, of New York chairman of the
Senate Committee on Reconstruction
and Production.
Inc suggestions are based on infor.
nation obtained by the committee in
hearings held recently in this city SEN
ator Calder's letters were made public
yesterday.
Senator Calder says to the Inter
state Commerce Commission that ale
cations were made by witnesses that
priority orders issued by the commits
sion have been ineffective. 1t has been
charged, says Senator Calder, that cars
diverted to the coal trade by recent
priority orders are helt. in transit for
speculation, making most urgent the
enforcement by the commission of
orders prohibiting more than one re-
assignment of coal cars Much con-
fusion exists, says Senator Calder, as
to the purport of the commissions
order requiring shippers to obtain per-
mlts Tor the export of coal. Senator
Calder also calls attention of the COM
mission to representations he has re-
celved as to the necessity of curtaiing
coal exports to conserve the supply of
coal cars for domestic needs. The COM
mittee has been informed says the
Senator, that the curtailment of coal
exports would reduce the price of
coal in this country, would relieve the
domestic shortage of coal. and would
release cars for general industry"
Senator Calder inclosed in ms letter
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion one from Louis J HILL chairman
OF the board of the Great Northern
Railroad, which reads:
Regarding exportation we feel con-
ditions require this country's needs to
be taken care of before coal is shipped
to foreign countries. If it were possible
to mine surplus OF coal it would be
desirable to find an export market, but
with the serious shortage in practically
every state the needs of this country
should be adequately taken care of be-
fore exporting coal. We feel that ex-
orbltant prices being paid by agents of
foreign countries for export coal have
had an unusual effect on price and dis
trlbution in this country"

der asserts that soine coastwise ship
ping is reported 20 be lying idle await
