bringing Captain Colbert and seven
of the crew of the British schooner
John NJ. Wood which the Elsah cut
in two and sunk in collision off Lit

of the steamer and others threw
themselves into the sea. Not a thing

getting away only with what they
had on. None sustained personal in

DEATH CLEARS WAY

Washington, May 23-Prospective
political developments in Mexico this
week began today TO overshadow the
killing of Carranza.
The Mexican Congress meets in
special session tomorrow to choose
a President ad interim. Aoolfo de la
Huerta, chosen by the Sonora group
a month ago as the provisional pres
ident. and General Pablo Gonzales
appear as the outstanding candidates,
but the chief concern of the Amer
lean officials and business men hav-
ing Mexican interests is not SO much
in the identity of the successful can
didate as in the strength of the CO.
operative spirit to be manifested.
While doubt Of the ability of any
one chosen to restore the country to
a state Of tranquility enough TO war
rant the holding of the regular cleo
tions was expressed by both business
men and officials, it was agreed the
removal of CarranZa ought to make
his task far more simple. Although
the killing of the fugitive president
must be satisfactorily explained, it
was said, before foreign governments
will give serious thought to any ex-
cept de facto recognition of the new
government, the government has
been materially strengthened from a,
military and political point Of view.
Carranza alive would have remain
ed a potential center of serious OPP
position. but already the little force
that followed him in his flight from
the capital is reported to hc breaking
up and the minor leaders such as
Domongo Arrieta in the state of Dur

themselves without plausible reason
for continuing resistance. Officials
who have been studying the Mexican
situation suggested, howe yer. that

though improbable, that Carranza
might have his avenger, as did Ma

FREIGHT RATE REVISION

Washington, May % - Hearings
looking toward revision of the
freight rate structure of the entire
country to meet the government
guarantee of a six per cent return
on the railway properties of the ma
ton will be started tomorrow by the
interstate commerce commission.
Representatives Of virtually every
transportation system, including the
public, will have an opportunity to
present their cases. Three state pub
lie utility commissioners will sit
with the commission while the ques-
ton of what rate increases are to be
granted is threshed out.
Recommendation as to rate in
creases which have been made to the
commission by the carriers and which
form the bases for the hearing set
forth that in order to make an in
come of six per cent the earnings of
all the roads must be increased by
81. OF 600, 600. To provide this addi-
tionai sum the roads have recon-
mended that rates in the eastern
group be advanced 30.4 per cent TO
make a 21.1 per cent additional in
come; in the south 30.9 per cent for
205 per cent larger return and n
the western group 23.9 per cent to
yield an advance of II per cent in
revenue.
Means of arriving at the valuation
of the railroad properties are ex-
pected to be the subject of consider
able argument during the hearing.
Carriers contend that the six per
cent return should be based upon the
property investment accounts Of the
roads while shippers and state COM
missioners have objected on the
ground that the book accounts" are
not reliable
Howard Elliot, chairman Of the
sub committee of the general rate
committee of the association of rail-
way executives. is to open the case
for the carriers as a whole and Dan
lei Willard. president of the Balti-
