J. HAM LEWIS SOUNDS
 SOME KEYNOTES

w a Il n g t 0 n. March 15-(SpeciaD James Hamilton Lewis, former, former senator from Illinois, and everywhere re- garded as spokesman of the democratic administration. declares, son what he adds is authority. that if the League of Ma tions eventually becomes field of opera tion for Woodrow Wilson, the President will initiate a movement for the allevia- tion of Germany respecting its war in- Sebtedness to the allied countries
 Mir. Lewis, while talking in Washing ton, was repeating what he had previous ly said to the people of the middle west. where Germany still has considerable strength. His remarks. in view of the people to whom they were addressed have caused political observers to wonder whether the former senator was speaking
 in behalf of the democratic party, ex- clusively. or whether he also had in mind a possible candidacy on the part of Mir Wilson for a third term in the White House.
 At any rate. the Illinois statesman was certainly making playing to the voters of Germanic birth, sympathy or inclina- tion. He does not deny that such was his purpose. He states, however. that he was simply telling the truth. and by go doing. removing, opposition on the part of people who have no real-or fundamental 1eason to oppose the democratic adminis- tration. He intimates. further, that the republicans also are playing for the Ger man vote. and in so playing are endeav- bring to male it appear that but for Woodrow Wilson the United States would ,never have entered the European war, with the result that Germany with comparative ease would have tumbied England and France into the sea.
 Mir. Lewis said that he was not advo- eating third term for MT. Wilson. At. the same time. the very fact that he made his peal. coupled with the attitude of the President respecting the alleged necessity of making the treaty a cam paign issue-and an issue in the prosecu- ton of which Mir. Wilson V vould be the one and only man-promps administration

PERSHING's NAME
 ON RkSKA TICKET

w a ash h n ton. March 15.-(SpeciaD. Washington correspondents were in formed by wire today by Mark W. Woods
 os Lincoln that he had filed with the sec-
 retary of state of Nebraska, in the name
 of 5000 voterss the presidential candi- dacy of John J. Pershing, commander of
 the American army in the recent war. The campaign will be concluded April
 20, when the people will ballot for their
 choice. Pershings rivals in Nebraska are Leonard Wood. a major-general in the
 army, and Hiram Johnson, United
 States senator from California.
 Should the republican convention run into a deadlock. there Is a good chance. it is believed, for Pershing to win the nomination as a dark horse. Then Wood would have come into his own. For the initiation of the candidacy of Pershing was undertaken by Wood without au- thority from Pershing. And in no other state is Pershing a candidate.

Chicago. Aug. Wonderful pitch
ing by Eddie Cicotte, backed BY per-
feet support, enabled Chicago to shut
out New York today 3 to in the first
game of the series. The fielding Of
Jackson and Felsch was sensational.
Jackson went into the crowd in the
fourth and robbed Ruth of a double.
After he caught the ball he toppled
over onthe heads of the fans. The
New Workers. claimed the ChicagOan
dropped the ball but Umpire Connolly
ruled otherwise. Manager Higgins
said the Yankees would play the game
under protest. Felsch caught Peckin-
paugh's drive with his bare hand, cut
ting off a sure double.
Manager Higgins objected SO
strongly against Jackson's catch Of
Ruth's drive that he was banished
from the game. Score:

Bees as Architects

A famous mathematician of the
early eighteenth century who per-
ceived that the bottoms of the cells
in beehive were formed by three
lozenge shaped plates measured the
angles of the lozenges. The greater
were 10s deg. 20 min, the. lesser, 20
des. 80 min. Another man of sci
ence, msrveling at the precision Of
the angles, propounded the following
problem to koenig. the geometri-
clan: What are the angles of a hex
agonal cell with pyramidical bottom
formed Of three similar and equal
YhoMboid plates that require the least
possible material?" Koenig, ignorant
Of what had suggested the problem,
found by calculus that the greater
angles Of the rhombs should be 100
deg. 26 min, and the lesser angles,
10 deg. - min. He was wrong by

of that act would be placed in the re-
serve funds of the roads and the ether
half turned over to the Interstate
revolving fund to be used fay making
loans to the carriers or for purchase
of equipment to be leased to them.
The estimated net income to be Fe-
ceived by the three groups Of roads
is fixed at per cent. of the valuation
placed on those groups by the com-
mission, On valuation of es.sde, 0oo.-
600 the eastern roads would receive
52s,o0e.0oe. They asked fer Z return
of s55s.4o0,eeo and are receiving .
standard return from the government
of 1854, 7o0,o 900. or approximately $780,
100000 less than they sought.
The valuation of the western reads,
including those In he New Mountain
Pacific territory set up by the commits
sion for the purpose of the rate de-
cision. is placed at $500. 900. 900. The
western roads thus would received an
estimated net operating income Of
$4ss, 900. 900 or about $4,000, 600 less
than the $537,s00,o00 which they
sought. The standard return they are
now receiving is s4o1. 200. 900.
The commission valued southern
roads at Sc. 600. o0o, 600, SO their net op-
Grating income would be s12oooe,oeo
This is S1s.o00.ooo less than they
sought and siS.o00.00o less than the
standard return Of 5000, 900. The
commission explained that the fnan-
cial condition Of the southern carriers
as a whole was more favorable than
that of the roads in the other groups.
Such intra- state rate increase, Mr..
Thorn said, will not add to the total
income provided for by the feredal
commissions decision because in sub
mitting their estimates the carriers
calculated on basis of increases Of
both interstate and intra- state rates.
Applications to the state commits
sion are now being prepared by the
railroads and the railway executives
expect that the increases will be
granted. Should any state commission
refuse to authorize them, however,
the carriers, Mr.. Thorn said, will
proceed under the Transportation act
and ask for hearing before the In
terstate Commerce Commission to de-
termine whether the existing intra-
state rates are discriminatory or
preJudicial to interstate commerce.
Mr.. Thorn said that three repre-
sentatives of the state, commission
will act with the federal commission
during the federal hearings on the
application of the carriers They will
make reports to the state commits
sions and Mr.. Thorn said it was
thought that their opinions would
have weight with the state commits
sions.
Since the increase in PASSENGER.
Pullman, excess baggage and milk.
rates were made general for the en-.
tire country by the fedora! commits
sion, the railroads will ask for 4
corresponding increase in each state.
The percentage of advance in intra.
state freight rates which the roads
Will request, however, will correspond
TO the percentage authorized in the
territory in which the state is To-
Gated. Thus increases requested in
Eastern states would be 40 per cent:
IN southern states, % per cent; in
western states, IS per cent and in
Mountain-Pacific states, % Der cent
