COMMERCE BOARD
 ADJOURNSHEAR|NG
 ON RAIL CHARGES
investigations Will Be Con- tinued on January g When Many Witnesses Are
 to Appear
By Associated Press

Washington, December 17.-Upon completion by the railroads tonight of preliminary statistical arguments against any rate reductions, the in- terstate commerce commission ad- journed the investigation into the reasonableness of transportation rates at present levels until January 9. Alfred P. Thom of the Association of Railway Executives, gave notice that R. M. Aishton, president of the American Railway association, would then be called to give testimony as to the efficiency and economy of cur rent carrier operations. Shippers representatives and state and munich pal experts will also be given an op- portunity to cross-e examine witnesses. During the recess the commission will study the statistics which have so far been brought forward in the hear ings.
 Carriers in the southern and west ern districts the latter territory in- cluding the Mountain-Paclfic group, were the subject of all testimony to- day. c. R. Capps, vice president of the Seaboard Air Line, for carriers east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio. argued that earnings from present rates were running at the rate of 2.2 2tper cent on invested capi- tai. Edward Chambers, vice presi- dent of the Atchison. Topeka and Sam ta Fe, argued for western carriers that manifestly the present rate schedule could not be considered too high.
 Commissioner Hall. presiding at the hearing. gave notice to shippers rep resented at the hearing that their appearing, in the present proceedings would not bar them from prosecuting individual onplaints against partic- ular rates which they desire to see adjusted

IRISH SENTIMENT FAVORS ENGLISH
 TREATY OF PEACE
People Grow Impatient at De- lay in Legislative Body. Dali Will Hold Open
 Session Monday
By Associated Press

Dublin, December 17.-The Dali Eireann remained in secret session until late tonight In an endeavor to thresh out personal political diff culties among the members. with the prospect that 1t might come out into public session on Monday reconciled at least to the extent of presenting a solid front to the world in their attitude toward the Anglo-Irish treaty.
 There appeared to be no question tonight but that the treaty would be ratified, but In view of the fact that so many members Of the Irish legislative body wish to proclaim their respective positions it was con sidered hardly likely that final vote could be taken before next Wednes- day
 If reports reaching Dublin tonight from other parts of Ireland may be accepted as correct, the general pub lis Is becoming irritated at the delay In settling the big question that is on everybody's mind. These reports In- dicate that the general Irish public would like to see the Dali quickly rat fly the treaty. and let the leaders Of the opposing factions settle their own political fights afterwards.

Friends of Slain
 Doctor to Seek to
 Protect His Name
By Associated Press

New York. December n.-Friends of pr. Abraham Glickstein, Brooklyn physician who was shot to death by Mrs. Lillian s. Raizen week ago, have organized the Glickstein Me- morial association, with the intention of making fight to protect his repu- tation. Incorporation papers have been sent to Albany. 1t was learned tonight.
 The movement was started soon after Mrs. Raizen's confession to Dis trict Attorney Lewis was made public in which she gave as the reason for killing the physician that he had ruined her life and on her wedding eve had attempted to attack her.
 The plan of the association, 1t was said. is to refute the accusations and to contend that the woman was in fatuated with the physician.
 The report of the alienist who has been examining Mrs. Raizen was ex- pected to be ready on Monday.

 Lost Battalion Was Merely Cut Off, Gen. Pershing Declares
By Associated Press

Washington, December 1.-The battalion commanded in the Mousse Argonne battle by Col Charles W. whittlesey, who recently drowned himself at sea. was cut off from com munication but not lost" as gensr- ally understood in this country, Gen. era1 Pershing said today in letter to Representative Siegel of New York.
 Replying to a letter from MT. Sie- gel for his views on the incident. General Pershing wrote.
 "In brief. Colonel Whittlesey's command was not lost. After it had been isolated frequent attempts were made to furnish food and am munition by means of aeroplanes. Uh- fortunately, 1t was very difficult for the aviators to locate in the dense forest the position of the battalion. which had been accurately indicated on the map. These relief supplies fell into the hands of the enemy. I mention this as evidence that the bat talion was not lost in the sense that we did not know where it was. It was cut off.
 Colonel Whittiesey's command. in making an advance. penetrated more deeply into the enemy's position than did the adjacent battalions. Com munication through the heavy under brush in the forest was difficult and before connection had been obtained with the units to his right and left rear. the Germans filtrated through the gaps which then existed and eventually succeeded in surrounding the battallon.''

 New York. December 1.-The thrills which New York experi- enced in September of last year when Wall street was rocked ny a bomb explosion which killed nearly two score persons were revived tonight.
 Coincfdent with the arrest of suspect in warsaw and the ar rival from Washington of Wil-' liam J. Burns, chief of the bu- reau of investigation of the de- pertinent of justice. to take per sonal charge of the case, there were circulating in the downtown section rumors of new radical plot to blow up the stock ex- change.
 Local authorities. while admit ting that special guards had been placed around the exchange and other buildings, professed to att tnch no great importance to re- ports that threatening letters had been received by. q number of brokers. In this connection were recalled n number of postcard "threats- to biow up the custom house and postoffice which fol- lowed the sensational blast of 1920.
 Burns, on his arrival, added nothing to his statements In Washington that the arrest in Warsaw of Wolfe Lindenfeld, former representative in New York of Lenine and the Third in- ternationale, and later in the service of the department of jus tice, would clear up the mystery which had surrounded the case. He said nothing tending to con firm reports current here that To- cal arrests were expected.

 As result of the conference, the secretary will be prepared to trans init to Congress, with or without his approval, the offer of Mir Ford for the extensive properties owned by the government at Muscle Shoals in the Tennessee river.
 It is taken for granted that the secretary. irrespective of
 the details of the offer, which since originally submitted. has been revised, will not reject 1t. If 1t does not provide payment
 to the government in a sum ap- proximatinE that which the sec retary thinks just, 1t Is believed that he will transmit all papers in the case to Congress with out recomme ndntions. That  course. however. would he tam tamount to rejection, 1t is
 pointed out. for the reccmmen-
 dation of the secretary will be necessary to force essential
 complementary legislation It Is very strongly indicated.
 The revised offer to be submit ted by Mir Mayo Monday will re- fleet the impression made on MT Ford and Thomas A.
