Summer Cut i'm Coal
Rates Voted i'm Senate
Amends Frelinghuysen Bill for
Seasonal Freight Charges
ON Railroads

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The Senate
adopted by vote of 33 to 81 to-day
an amendment to the Frelinghuysen
bill for seasonal freight rates on coal
offered by Senator Stanley, Democrat,
Kentucky, and providing for reduced
rates in summer. The original bill pro-
vided for the reductions, but permitted
an increase in the winter rates above
the present schedules The amendment
was voted despite objection by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Previously, Chairman Clark of the
commission, writing to Senator Freling-
huysen, Republican, New Jersey, said
the commission viewed with disfavor the
Stanley amendment because it would ac-
complish the seasonal varia ton solely by
reducing existing charges during sum
mer months, while the bill itself would
allow increase of present rates during
winter, as we'll as decrease during sum
mer. This would decrease railroad reve-
nues, Mr.. Clark said.
Senator Stanley, after the objection
was read. agreed that the reduction in
railroad revenues might be brought
about, but said this would be better than
burdening the consumer with an excess

East Ships Tractor West ;
Uses Oxen on Own Farms
Representative of Connecticut
Farmers Goes / Kansas to
Rnv Work G,aEfle

KANSAS CITY, June 28-While
thousands Of tractors are reported 10
be on their way West. shipped to
farmers from Eastern manufacturers,
there is representative of Connect
cut farmers in Kansas City buying
oxen to work on Connecticut farms
This man is c. F Colcoid. an Illinois
farmer, who also operates in Connecti-
cut, and represents farmers there.
Mr. Colcoid attends the sales at the
stockyards, keeping on the lookout for
old steers which would not be very
good as beef cattle, but which are US
able as work cattle. These he buys
and sends back to Connecticut where
they are auctioned of to farmers.
Owing to the condition of the billy
country he states that they are the
most practical motive power for pull
ing plows and farm machines.
Mr.. Colcoid's peculiar mission has
attracted the attention of many farm
ers who come into the yards with stock
and he has been the butt of jects at
the old-fashioned means used back
East" when the West is turning hap
idly to mortorized farm machinery. In
reply to these humorous remarks, he
said:
you know Connecticut farmers are
a little oldfashioned. 1t is a com
mon practise among these Yankee
farmers in the old New England states
to cut grain by hand and to ploy with
team of oxen. All these cattle which
| send back are auctioned off by the
head, some farmers coming as far as
fifty miles to attend the sales"

Sailors Held as

Wage Suit Delay
Men Arrested in Rio Janeiro
We're Suspected in Wall
ST. Bomb Plot; Now De
mand Pay for Voyage

- Justice Catfrey, in the Municipal
Court. 1st District, yesterday put over
the trial of the suit of Philip Bender,
sailor, against the Northern Steamship
Company and the United States Ship
ping Board Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion until October. The defense. in it's
motion for postponement, declared that
1T was unable to round up all of its
witnesses.
Bender and four other Russian sea
men were charged with mutiny on the
City of Alton and put in double irons
at Rio de Janeiro last February. They
were kept in a prison for ten days and
were then brought to New Orleans and
given hearing before the United
States Commissioner on the mutiny
charge. They were discharged
At this time they were charged with
having been implicated in the Wall
Street bomb explosion, but this charge
later proved to be unfounded. Bender
and the other men have begun suits
for the recovery Of their wages to the
ticles for a trip to South America on
October 7, 1920. and were to work at
American wages and under American
conditions. There are also suits pend
ing in the City Court for damages in
the sum of $4,000 each.
Silas b. AXtell, of 8 State Street,
counsel for the men, opposed the post
ponement of the trial yesterday. He is
trying to subpoena Chief Engineer
Thomas Verbeck, one of the witnesses
the defense said it could not find He
plans to produce the witness in court
this morning and renew his motion for
the immediate reopening of the case
Failing in this, he will commence TAX
ing testimony in his own Office begin
ming Thursday morning, and this testi-
mony will be read into the record in
October.
"At the time of the mutiny charge
Bender was accused of being an ennis
sary of Lenine," Mr.. Axtell said yes
terday. "All of the men were charged
with being Bolsheviki. They are Rus
slams, yes, but that hardly makes them
Bolsheviki. AS a matter of fact, most
of them have their first papers and ap-
parently would make good citizens,
They were charged with mutiny simply
because they and other members of the
crew, native Americans, complained
when they were compelled to drink water
at the Equator which by the Fahrenheit
thermometer indicated to be of 81 to 100
degrees in temperature"

ST. PAUL, MINI, June 20.-The
American Indians are not decreasing
in numbers, according to Dr. Elmer E.
Higley, of Des Moines, who recently
was appointed superintendent of Indian
work of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
There are more than one-third Of
q million Indians in the United States,"
added Rev. Higley, "and ffty-seven dis
tinct languages are spoken.
"a survey among the Indians has
just been made by the centenary Of
fcials and shows that not only the full
blooded Indians are increasing, but
also the mixed bloods, with better
homes, medical attention., and better
care of Indian babies, and with the mis-.
sionaries talking the gospel of soap,
sanitation and salvation, the increase
Of the number of Indians will continue.
"Two-thirds cannot understand the
American language. Thirteen per cent
of the Indians are afflicted with tuber-
culosis, and $4,000 suffer from ira
choma. Three out of every five Indian
children die before the age of five
years.
There are 430 Protestant mission
buildings with membership of AZ 900
Protestants and $1,000 Cath olics
Fully two thirds of the whole In
dian population is yet without gospel
privileges whatever, either Protestant
or Catholic. The Methodist centenary
program plans large enterprises among
the red men"

Whitehall Street during 1919. Chew
was constantly in "hot water" over liti-

more than one occasion upbraided his
commanding officer. Captain Kent said
his function was to advise Captain
Chew in the litigation handled at the
Whitehall Street address, but that
Chew ignored his advice and hired and
fired civilian counsel to an extent that
was amazing"
AT times Captain Chew seemed sub

witness. 4 didn't think he had good

the ultraviolet ray, which is very ac-

the darker pigment in the skin, and
consequently the blond has a constant

climatic conditions here. AS a result,
he lacks the calm nervous system which

pointed out, were from New York City,
where drivers license and regstra-
