CLAIM HCL WILL

 FREIGHT RATES
Operators Say Proposed In- creases Will Have Ten dency to Lower Living Costs by Providing Better Transportation Facilities For Roads
[RepubIIeAn 4. ?. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. May 24-Belief that advances in freight rates to provide the more than a billion dollars addi- tional revenues asked by the railroads would not increase the cost of living was expressed by spokesmen for the carriers in opening their case today before the interstate commerce com mission.
 sFNothing I know of" said Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. would reduce the cost of living so much as the prompt and speedy transportation of goods" He added that the revenues asked as nec- essary to provide the six per cent re- turn guaranteed by the government in the transportation act would enable the carriers to purchase sufficient equip ment to move commodities now un- able to reach market.
 Frederick Strauss. New York. also appearing for the roads, declared a 50 or 60 per cent increase in freight rates would have no appreciable effect on the movement to bring down living costs.
 Questioning of Howard Elliott. of the general rate comm Ittee of the Association of Railway Executives who presented the introductory testi- mony for the carriers, developed that the additional billion dollars requested is not regarded by the railroads as covering wage increases estimated al more than a billion dollars annually included in demands presented to the railroad labor board.
 Will Bolster Weakened Market
 Mir. Willard made the initial presen. tation of testimony for the easterr group of railroads, who are asking ar increase of 30-4 per cent in rates tC produce about s550,000.000 MT. Strau. contended for higher rates as neces- sary to bolster up the weakened market for railway securities. Cross examination of the carriers witness was conducted by representatives oi the shippers. Mir. Willard in reply tC questions, said there now were som 10000 more men employed by the Bal timore and Ohio railroad than before federal control. but explained this was mainly due to the change from piece basic work in the shops to the day system.
 Asked regarding the advisability O. raising passenger rates MT Willard declared it his personal opinion tha the public would rather have the in. crease in freight

ONLY KIDDING HUN
 ATTACHE, WOOD SAYS
rRepubllean A. p. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO, May 24LCapt. Franz von Pappen, military attache at Wash ington prior to American entry into the war. was being "joshed' when he was told by Major General Leonard Wood, then commander of the Eastern department of the army, at New York. that the United States had complete plans of von Papen's alleged plot to attack New York from U-boats.
 A canard" was General Woods characterization today of von Papen's story, as told in Associated Press dis patches from Berlin last night that he had been called to Governors Island to be told about the discovery" of his plot.
 q never called any attache to Gov ernor's Island, and had no authority to do so." General Wood said. All the attaches. when in New York, were eX- tremely punctilious about calling to pay their respects. On such occasions we never talked war. I don't remem- Der the incident won PaDen refers to, though it is possible he may have been joshed about the numerous plot stories that were circulating at that time"

DESCHANEL. ONLY SCRATCHED. IN TUMBLE FROM
 SPEEDING TRAIN
French Ruler More Dishev- eled Than Hurt When He Falls Through Car Win dow While Train Going 32 Miles an Hour

PARIS. May 24.-(By the Associated Press)-President Deschanel returned to the palace this evening after his miraculous escape from death near Montargis last night, when he plunged head foremost through window of the special train on which he was travelling , to dedicate a monument to Senator Raymond, French aviator killed in the war; The president looked not much he worse for his experience.
 MT. Deschanel, who was accom- panied on his trip by automobile from Montargis by Madame Deschanel and Premier Millerand, alighted in the Ely yard without help. His face showed he marks of the accident.
 Suffers Only Slight Injuries
 You may tell your people in America that the president is sound physically and mentally" Premier A1illerand said. Only a few scratches remain of the experience. President DeschaneI is feeling so good that he insists on pre- siding over the council of ministers to be held tomorrow"
 It developed from NJ. Millerand's talk that the escape of the president from death was miraculous as, according to the premier, the train was travelling at 50 kilometers an hour. Tt is fan -dSAlIs He hCpA repeating.
 Julius Steep, minister of the interior, who was on the train, reported to Premier Millerand that M. Deschanel alighted on soft sand head first. It is fantastic" M. AIillerand said. 'I have advised the president to retire to Ram bouillet for a few weeks, because it is only on the morrow that he will feel the reaction from the strange experience" ]"
 Pajamas Dishevel President
 Throughout Paris and even in offi- cial circles the failing health of the president is ascribed as contributing to the accident. The train was round ing a curve when he opened the win dow, the president told M. L4Hermitte, his chief of cabinet, the morning that he was suddenly overcome with dizzi- ness and recollected nothing until he regained consciousness on the roadway. The president was much embarrassed by his personal appearance, which was the first thought that flashed through his mind.
 The president has been noted for his dress and dignity. His was the last word in fashionable apparel, and the picture of him walking down the track in pajamas, disheveled and barefooted has appealed to the boulevard Partisan sense of humor.
 The president had a hearty meal this evening and chatted with Madame De schanel and the children. He seemed to enjoy the retort of the track walker to whom he said:
 Mistaken Identity
 T am President Deschanel,' to Whlcf the latter replied:
 Might you not be the late czar O Russia 2"
 The fact that the president remained ffve.h hours on a gatekeeper's cot before the automobile from Montargis arrived has caused much discussion.
 After a consultation, his physicians issued this bulletin:
 ssThe contusions are without gravity The presidents condition is as satis factory as possible.
