ment of the whole rate structure of

thorized Saturday by the interstate
commerce commission.
While tariff experts are working
on the general rate schedules, the
carriers will make application to the
various state commissions for ad-
vances in intra- state rates to corre-
spond to those. in interstate rates
20 per cent on passenger, milk and
excess baggage charges and SO per
cent on rates for sleeping and par
lor car space.
In the case of freight rates the
states will be asked to make these
tariffs to correspond with the in
creases granted by the federal COM
mission. The interstate increases au-
thorized are forty per cent in eastern
territory, rs in southern and noun
tain Pacific territory and 35 in west

companies and electric railway lines

Boost Railroad
Stocks Today

New York. Aug. Speculative
and investment sentiment on the stock
exchange was hopefully disposed at the
outset of business today as the result
of sweeping advances in railway pas
senger and freight rates granted by
the interstate commerce commission.
The news brought in a large volume
of buying orders from all over the
country. Railroad shares of all descrip-
tions were absorbed on a steadily ris-
ing scale with the advances rangin,
from one to 3 " points.
Representative dividend paying
stocks such as New York Central
Northern Pacific, Reading, Great
Northern preferred, Southern Pacific
land Union Pacific, made the most
headway. Popular specialties, fnclua-
ing motors, papers, steel oils and food
shares also advanced.

Tacoma Wash, Aug. 2.-Definitt
location of the underground sys-
tenn on the Pacific coast by which
thousands Of Japanese are smuggled
into the United States yearly, was an
nounced here today by Congressman
Albert Johnson, chairman pf the
house subcommittee on immigration
which reassembled here today to in
vestigate Japanese activities in the
northwest.
"Until we came to the northwest
we had only an indefinite idea of the
operations by which Japanese are be-
ing brought surreptitiously into the
United States" said Chairman John
son. "Now we have the key, so to
speak.

underground system begins at Yoko-
hama. From thence it leads to Homo

Here, either by water or across
the border, the Japanese invaders are
smuggled into the United States. A
perfect system of escort has been es-
tablished. In Honolulu and at Quay
mas, posts have been established
which take care of the details of the
smuggling. Mexican guards are known
to have been bribed with $40 at the
United States s-Mexican border. The
same careful system of escort has
been esta blished both at Yokohama
and Honolulu.
"Once the Japanese are smuggled
into California he is taken in tow by

Oregon and Washington. He is taken
to the bank and his credit establish

"Then he goes out into the Vine
yards or into the agricultural districts
and hides for five years. If he is
questioned by the government author
tiles as to his residence here he can
quickly establish this by taking the
authorities to the bank where five
years before he made his first depos-

dence of five years. as required by
statute.
'sThe Japanese associations in the
cities make no record for
