EXPLAINS BIG
 FREIGHT COST

New York. Aug. 1e-Railroads en- tering New York pull a carload of freight 400 miles for the same money they charge to handle it on a barge or lighter in New York harber, dis tance of about ten miles, says J. J. Mantell of the Erie railroad.
 An explanation of this cost was given by MT. ManteIl recently to the members council of the New York Merchants Association. He said that the great volume of freight handling in the port of New York 50 per cent. of the total import and export traffic of the United States requires the maintenance by the rail- roads of a vast amount of floating equipment, representing an invest ment of s16, 6,066 900.
 Because New Yerk's narrow piers were planned and built 45 OF more years ago and were intended for the old tyne of sailing vessel OF steamer, he said, barges and liFhtsFs require from seven to eight days to make deliveries; During the war, from ten to eleven days were required.

 De Valera, Spurned Offer

Rochester, N. Y. Aug. 1s.-Mrs. Charles wheelwright, mother of Ea- monn De Valera, President of the Irish Republic" is to-day the centre of interest in Rochester, where she makes her home. She was beaming with joy over. her sons rejection of the British peace terms.
 ''It was just exatsly what I thought he would do," she said. in speaking of his speech yesterday.
 Had he chosen any other course he would have disappointed not only me, but millions of others of Irish birth, extraction or sympathy. Now that Eamon has made clear the posi- ton Ireland is to take among the na- tions, there is nothing for us in this country to do but to give them our undivided moral and financial sup port as far as we are able.

Some of these meshes are solder ed which is an indica- ton of strength, as they don't break so cas- fly as a linked bag.

OFLIQUOR WAR
Expect Escaped ViOlators to
Attempt Release of
Comrades.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 23.-All available
Federal prohibition officers have been
sent to Amigo today to guard against
rumored attempts to release two alleged
"moonshiners," who were arrested late
yesterday in a battle in which one of
their companions was killed.
More than a dozen associates of the
men under arrest are reported to have
escaped and it is feared they will at
tempt to storm the Jail and release their
comrades.
The arrest of the two men and the
Staying of the third resulted from a battle
in which one thousand shots were fred,
according to reports reaching here. The
battle was fought in the woods near
Amigo and Centered about a shack where,
it is declared, the mOonshiners main
tain headquarters. Several of the moon
sinners are believed to have been
wounded.
Federal officers, hearing reports that
liquor was being dealt in on a large scale
in the North woods, began an investiga
ton ten days ago. While approaching
the cabin where the battle occurred, it
is said, the prohibition officers were fred
on. The officers obtained reinforcements
and after a battle captured Joseph and
Luther Lexington, brothers. When the
officers entered the cabin they found
Julius Wurzer dead from bullet wounds.
