INCREASED DEMUR-
RAGE CHARGES
State Railroad Commission OPP
posed, to Suggested Advance

Columbia. May 25-Opposition to
increased demurrage charges is voiced
by the South Carolina Railroad Com
mission ip>a statement to the Anleri-
can Railroad Association, addressed
to j. E. Fairbanks, agent of this as
sociation, at Chicago, and to. the
Southeastern Demurrage Bureau in
Altar Ia. The railroad commission also
whitewasfes South Carolina shippers
Of any blame for the congested freight
situation throughout the country.
Reports just received from the
general managers of all the railroads
operating in South Carolina indicate
that we have no delays such as the
inereasd demurrage charges is intend
ed to relieve says the statement on
the demurrage question. Shippers
anb receivers of freight have respond
ed 10 the request to promptly unload
and load cars, and this Commission
does not feel even in this crisis that it
is equitable or right to levy an addi-
tional tax in the way Of increased de-
murrage.''
The Commission takes the position
that what is needed to relieve tie
freight situation is more motive power,
better handling of equipment and less
idle equipment, which often results
from ears not being moved, when
empty. from side tracks.

Slain as Stated

Geneva, May 24-The Gazette De
Luazanne this morning publishes three
columns concerning statements OF
Russian mobiles and officers, recently
that the former Russian car and his
family are still living, having escaped
disguised by way of Yladivostok to
Japan, where they are now living
peaceably. Their existence is being
hidden for political reasons, the re-
turned Russian says.
One curious fact is recalled by the
newspaper which notes that it
has been recently revealed that
out of the 10000 inhabitants OF
Ekaterinburg, not one saw the mur-
der or burial of the royal family, while
even the Boleshevik accounts Of the
incident lack confirmation. Gen
