Washington, August 24.-Steamboat lines operating on the Atlantic coast, Great! Lakes and Gulf of Mexico were authorized tonight by the shipping board to increase freight rates from 20 to 10 per cent and passenger charges from 20 to 331a per cent over existing levels on all-water traffic.

EXTRA SESSION IN ALABAMA CERTAIN,
 IS GENERAL VIEW
kilby Holds Several Con- ferences During Day But WithhOlds Any Definite
 Announcement
By FRED II. GURMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Age -Herai
 22t-2 First National Bank SuiIu

Montgomery, August 24.-tSpecial.)-- Following conferences between Gov ernor kilby and various persons during Tuesday the impression gained ground among state officials that an extra ses- sion cannot be avoided as a result of the ratification of the woman suffrage amendment by Tennessee and that the vening of the lawmakers as soon as the United States government prociaims the ratification of the amendment.
 Governor kilby late in the day an- nounced that he had made no decision and that when one was reached he would withhold formal statement un- jess the ratification presentation had been promulgated. Governor Kilby held conferences during the day with vari- ous persons, including S. A. Lynne of Decatur, administra ton floor leader and the probable speaker during the extra session; Benners of Blrming ham, one of the leaders of the opposi- ton; Harwell G. Davis. assistant at torney general. and Lawrence E. Brown, special counsel for the state in various cases handled by the courts in recent months The impression is that the egislature will be convened as soon after ratification is proclaimed as preparations can be made and that nothing will be included in the call ex- cept suffrage legislation. No other measures can be considered except by two-thrds vote of both houses
 For short time 1t was thought an extra session could be avoided by the immediate opening of the registration books in the various counties for the registration of women. 1t had been pointed out that the courts of county commissioners were given authority by the amendments to the registration law
 last year to order the opening of the registration books in any counties by formal order except during the sixty days preceding general or primary election. The sixty days will begin rum ming September 2, and it was believed the books could remain open until that tune, Later 1t was found immediate or ders could not be issued in some counties
 While Governor kilby did not indicate what subject was discussed with Mir. Lynne. the general understanding was that Mir. Lynne gave his views on the suffrage problem. It was officially stated at the executive department that Mr, Benners came to Montgomery to discuss other matters. However, 1t was under stood the subject of the extra session vas discussed.
 l Governor x ilhy regards the status @: l the amendment since the certitication of Tennessee ratification to Washington as putting the question squarely before the state for immediate considerations He will make his decision regarding an ex- tra session at once, and stated officially that he will make an announcement as soon after the proclamation of ratifica- tion as possible.

LIABILITY OF U. $.
 IN SHIP SEIZURE,
 SUBJECT 0F NOTE
No Specific Claim for Re- imbursement Has Been Presented By England,
 It Is Understood
By Associated Pres.

Washington, August 24.-Great Britain has Initiated diplomatic con versations with the American govern ment as to the liability of the United States for expenditures necessitated by the detention in American ports of the seven former German liners allocated to that country for the movement of American troops. The ships were held suD by the shipping board after st.feil surrender by the war department While the ships weie detained here British crews sent to America to take them over were idle in New York. A question of demugfage charges also is understood to be involved, as sailing dates for the ships on British schedules had been announced.
 No specific claim for reimbursement has been presented, it is understood. but the negotiations have been started for the purpose of reaching an amica- ble agreement as to where the re- sponsibility for the delay rests The ultimate ownership of the vessels. which include the lmperator, now op- erated by the Cunard line. is under stood to have been made part of the conversations.
 Great Britain claims title to the ships under the decision of the allied sHlpptHB coflnlSSlOn, on which the United States was not represented, and the rulings of which never have been accepted by the Washington govern ment. The shipping board has claimed that allocation of the ships to the United States was permanent, and it was on this ground that 1t refused for some time to deliver the vessels to Great Britain.
 The whole question finally was re- ferred to President Wilson. and the ships were ordered delivered to the British pending a final decision, which the negotiations now in progress were Initiated to produce
 As preliminary to presenting the American view on the controversy. 1t Is understood that the state depart ment has asked the shipping board for detailed explanation of the basis for its claim for American ownership which led to the detention of the craft in American waters.

The injunction was obtained by citizens of Nashville opposed to suffrage on the plea that action on the amendment by this legislature was in violation of the state constitution and illegal in other particulars.
 Issuance of the writ and the governors certlfcation serves to transfer to Wash- ington the battle over legality of ratia- cation, anti-suffrage leaders declaring the American Constitutional League was pre- pared to apply to the District of Colum- bia supreme court for an order restrain ing Secretary Colby from issuing proc lamation declaring the amendment in ef- feet.
 So far court action in Tennessee IS concerned, the only thing in prospect for the antis is to request the supreme court to rescind the individual action of Justice Lansden. The court meets in Knoxville September 20. Just what effect the re- fusal of the court to uphold Justice Lans- den's course would have on the general situation no one was prepared to say.
