RAILROADS DENIED RIGHT
TO BOOST RATES IN OHIO
Utilities Commission Declares
I. G. G. Increases Contrary to
Laws f State.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. August 1s.-The
Ohio Public Utilities Commission has
refused to permit steam railroads
operating in the state to raise pas
senger rates 20 per cent for intra-
state traffic, in accordance with the
nationwide order of the Interstate
commerce Commission.
The commission has no power, it
was stated. to permit any action that
would bring about a rate superseding
that set by Ohio law. three cents a
mile, fixed by the Pearson law, pass
ed by the last legislature.
The commission also refused per-
mission for 20 peRcent increase in
rates for Transporting milk, holding
that present rates are sufficient, and
disallowed an increase of 20 per cent
on excess baggage and so per cent
surcharge on Pullman space. The lat
ter two rates come under the Pear
son law.
Steam lines were permitted to file
new tariffs for a 40 per cent increase
in freight rates. including those for
coal, but were warned by the COM
mission that any, rate in excess of
this, including differentials, would be
suspended on motion of the commits
sion.

President Approves Recipro.

hoENOS AIRES, August 1S.-Presi-
oent Irigoyen's administration has
announced through Finance Minister
saiaberry that it will oppose the pro-
hibition bill recently introduced into
the chamber of deputies. Neverthe-
less, an official move in favor of the
restriction of the liquor traffic is seen

Since alcoholic liquors can no

Not Ready for Total Prohibition.
| While President Irigoyen is known
to be strongly in sympathy with re-
stricting the liquor traffic, it is said
he feels that Argentina is not yet
ready for total prohibition. One en-
tire province, Mendoza, thrives upon
the wine industry, and the use of
light native wines. especially in the
rural districts, is almost general.
The introduction of the prohibition
measure in Congress was followed by
la strong protest from the Mendoza
wine growers. They were told by
Minister Salaberry that, although he
had not consulted President Irigoyen
on the subject, he could assure them

nation will not approve this reform,

SEA STILL WASHING UP

An officer: who made the latest an

J The source of the phials Is still a
mystery, even though rumors of
enemy plots to introduce into this

Examination of the charts Of the hy-
geographic Office indicate that there ia
an ocean current which sweeps
southwark along the coast from the
gulf of st. Lawrence, which could
deposit floating articles on Long Is

gave rise to the theory that some

BRITAIN TAKES Up

Lloyd George Has Exchanges
Before Him, With New Ap-
peal From Italy.

LONDON, August Is (by the Asso.
ciated Press).-Italy, in return for
her constant support of Great Britain
since the armistice. and principally
at the recent summer resort confer
ences. is urging Great Britain to alter
her oil agreement with France So
tnat Italy may get larger share
OF OIL from the territories over which
Great Britain holds mandates.

Hrits,, Italian ambassador to Great
Lloyd George on the eve Of the pre-
miers departure for three-week
holiday. It is reported that the am
6assador urged upon Mr.. Lloyd
George Italy's need for fuel. What
promises. If any, the premier gave
the Marquis Imperiali are unknown.
Mr.. Lloyd George also has before
him the uncompleted exchange of
communications with the United
states government on the subject of
oil. The United States is adhering
10 ITS general policy regarding oil
that the league of nations should
decide finally on the distribution of
the products in mandatory territories
and several communications have
been exchanged between the United
States and Great Britain on the SUBJ
ject OF oil alone.
Should Italy finally decide to take
the same stand as the United States
it is unlikely that the matter will be
settled quickly.
There is a growing disposition at
10 Downing street, the premier's off,

ONCE against reaching final agree

many subjects that are constantly
arising until after the presidential
election in the United States. The
view taken is that the incoming gov

BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN;
TAKE REGISTERED MAIL
Masked Men. Get Away With Four
Pouches Within City Limits
Of St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, August 19.-Police and
post ONCE inspectors were today
searching for q clue as to the where.
abouts of the two masked bandits who
last night held up Missouri Pacific
fast mail train No. within the city
limits and escaped with four pouches
said to have contained registered
mail. The train was bound for Little
Rock, Ark, and often carries large
shipments of currency for banks In
the southwest.
postal officials said, will not be known
until a check UP Is made of the con-
tents of the pouches.
The quartet boarded the train at
$3.50 o'clock, when stop was made
at Tower Grove. three miles from
Union station, and took seats in the
smoker, next to the mail car. After
the train left Tower Grove they en-
tered the mail car with drawn re-
volvers and forced the clerks to line
up against the wall. AS the train
neared the outskirts Of the city one
of the bandits pulled the signal cord,
stopping the train. The mail SACKS
were thrown out and the bandits
jumped after them and disappeared.
Conductor Edward Frazier, st.
Louis. who was in charge Of the
that the bandits evidently had ac-
completes on the outside, as torpedoes
had been placed on the track where
the train stopped.
The fact that the bandits took only
registered mail leads police to believe
that the robbery was executed by
men familiar with the postal service.
