SHIPPERS. AGAINST PLAN

Washington, July 22.-Represen'
tahves of shippers in all parts Of the
United States completed their argu-
ments today before the Interstate
Commerce Commission opposing post
poned increases in freight rates in
points on the Mississippi, Ohio and
Missouri rivers and the Gulf.
C. D. Drayton closed the argument
for the railroads in plea that rates
to water points be increased in order
to permit Southwestern lines to par
ticipate in the traffic to the valley,
which, he declared, they could not do
if rates were lowered under the
rulings Of the commission which pre-
vent them from. lowering rates to
any point below the rates to inter
mediate points.
The railroads cannot lower rates
to intermediate territory, he said,
an exist. The carriers, he declared
would meet the shippers to discuss
adjustments of minor rate differ
ences, but not to discuss base rates.

UPHOLDS RIGHT TO
.. FIX PHONE RATE
JUDGE SMITH RULES THAT THE
STATE RAILROAD COMMIS-
SION HAS AUTHORITY TO
RAISE OR LOWER THE RATE
CHARGES.

Columbia, July 23.-Holding that
the State Railroad Commission has
the right to regulate the service and
rates of public service corporations
coming under its jurisdiction, Judge
Henry A. M. Smith, Of Charleston,
Judge of the United States Court of
the Eastern District of South Carolina
has dismissed the appeal of Senator
Frank A. Miller, of Darlington
County, asking that the recent in
crease in telephone rates at Harts-
vile by the commission be revised.
A copy Of the opinion was filed
with the commission today. The COM
plant of Senator Miller stated that
a contract was entered into between
the town of Hartsville and the South
ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company when the lines of the CDR
poration entered the municipality in
1916, covering the scale Of rates and
that the railroad commission had no
authority to abrogate this contract.
The decision of Judge Smith holds
that if there were a suit between the
town and the telephone company at
the time the contract was entered in
to, the court would be bound to hold
that the company should perform
the service and maintain the rates
specified in the contract but that
where the state had created a COM
mission to protect the public inter-
est the contract was subject to the
right of the government in the ex-
ercise Of its regulative powers.
tis believed that the decision will
cause the cessation of the efforts Of
the South Carolina Telephone Sub
scribers' Association to bring the re-
cent telephone. rate increase all over
the State to the attention of the
courts as the underlying idea of the
effort was to contest the jurisdiction
of the State Railroad Commission in
ptomulgating the new rates.

of her husbands affections. she gem
orally names another woman. Not so
with Mrs. Melissa J. Woodington of
this city. Flavoring extracts, grown
potent since prohibition, are her CO.
respondents. Mrs. Woodington today
filed suit for $4,000 against W. A.
Roseman, a grocer, who, she charges
sold to her husband favoring ex-
tracts which caused him to neglect
and beat her. Mrs. Woodington

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR COMING PARLEY
WILL GO FORWARD
WITH PLANS FOR DISARMA-
MENT CONFERENCE. BELIEV-
ED JAPAN WILL JOIN IN DIS
CUSSIONS.

Washington, July 23.-Unless
checked by unexpected develop.
ments at Toxic the United States
government it. was believed will act
without further loss of time in per-
fecting it's pain for a conference Of
the principal powers on limitation of
armament and Far Eastern subjects.
The extent to which Japan is willing
to participate in the discussions is
understood to be under consideration
at meeting OF the advisory council
and there appeared to be reason to
believe that the Japanese statesman
would reach a decision favorable to
a discussion Of question arising out
of the Orient although, with certain
reservations.
Until the position Of Japan has
been more clearly defined It appear
ed improbable, however, that the for
NAL invitations would be sent to the
various governments. 1t is known
that the proposed conference was
mentioned at the cabinet meeting,
but it is understood not to have been
discussed to great extent. T.
The informal conferences be-
tween Secretary Hughes and Anbas-
sador Shidehara are known to have
gone far towards convincing the ad-
ministration that the japanese gov
ernment will agree to entering the
conference without material reser-
vations and that the general q1es-
tions at issue will be approached
frankly and freely by all partici-
pants. :.
Insistent suggestions that Belgium
should be given seat at the con-
ference have not served to alter the
opinion of the United States govern
ment that the discussions should be
limited to the principal allied and as
sociated powers as generally accept
ed. It was explained that to open the
doors to Belgium would make it nee
essary to permit the entrance of any
other government making applica-
tions..
The feiteration of the suggestion
that a preliminary conference be
held at London failed to cause IA
vorable reaction here. It was indicat-
ed clearly that the United States be-
lieves that such preliminary discus
sions as may be necessary should
take place here and incident to the
formal convening Of the conferees.

THINKS BRITAIN
READY TO D|SARM
LORD NORTHCLIFFE, NOTED
PUBLISHER, DECLARES HIS
COUNTRY IS ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER CONFERENCE CALLED
IN UNITED STATES

New York, July 23.-Here Satur:
day on the first leg of his world tour
Lord Northcliffe, British peer and
publisher, gave to the international
News Service his views on Ireland
disarmament, aviation and the con.
duct of a reporter in interviewing a
great man.
"The Irish situation is quite hope.
full" said the famous publisher.
"My idea and those of my paper
the Times, have been adopted almost
as whole in, the present attempt at
settlement.
"In fact" he added, as he stood
on the deck of the Aquitania, spick-
and-span in a Palm Beach suit, sur.
rounded by so reporters, "they are
my plans in a nutshell"
"Of course, you will realize," Wis,
count Northcliffe continued, "that
the enmity built up through seven
centuries can not be eradicated in
seven days. g..
81 believe that in the final settle
ment, the Northern Parliament will
remain, intact and immune.
"The decision to confer with De-
Valera was reached last November.
At that time, we questioned whether
he or Lloyd George had the power
to make a peace which would be ef-
fective. .'
"What about your differences with
Lloyd George?" Lord Northcliffe
was asked. ...'- To-.
. II have nothing to say, l. said
something on that three days ago,
You should not question me on that
repileQ tNorLncllHe.
Not. only is Britain enthusiastic
over the proposed disarmament con-
ference, but she has taken the lead
in this respect, Northcliffe said.
ENGLAND is already disarming.
Our battleships are rusting. and rot
ting at Southampton. We have cut
the personnel of our navy to 10000
less than our 1914 peace-time num-
bers and are still cutting.
''The British standing army, in
cluding colonels, is but $4,000
strong. It will be less"
Civil aviation has always been one
of Viscount Northcliffe's chief inter
ests, and he introduced it into the
interview, saying he has advocated
it in his publications and that he
believes he has the British govern
ment interested to such an extent
that within a short time several
dirigibles which were to be scrappled
will be salvaged and put into serv-
ice.
