COWBOYS SAY KANSAS T.

BY Karl D. Grcat.

Berlin. (By Mail. THE Texas
and Kansas cowboys who brought the
American farmers gift cows to Ger
many are glad to get back to the ST.
lent places where they breed strong,
silent men. ass C1E'
Not that they've got grudge on
Germany, nor not that everybody
didn't do his durndest to show these
long, rangy chaps a good time, nor
yet again that they're anti-German.
No, none of these things, but they
wearied of being "hobbled," so they
let on today.
IA 1--WE could certainly had helluva
time ii left to ourselves. We did
break. out of corral a couple of times
and range about" said one, while a
colleague allowed: "Well, Berlin is
quite a city, but j can't see as it's
got much on Kansas City at that. -
Whereupon another buddy chirped
up, and allowed as how the Lone
Star State was good enough for him.
This being hobbled was a case of
being dragged about to see q lot OF
things they didn't want to see, and
more particularly forced to listen to
extra long lectures on this, that and
the other. 1t may be remarked in
passing that when a German gets a
chance to talk, he hasp't any idea OF
when his license expires. 1t might
never expire were it nor for the fact
that somebody else also had a hank
ering to talk.
The cowboys had had a whole lot
of being entertained (including being
talked to death) and had just arriV-
ed at the station here, when the Ger
man leader of the expedition told
them, "Ah, you are now in the capt.
tai of Germany"
A long, lean cowboy from Kansas
took one quick survey of some coal
yards and industrial places at hand,
and drawled, ''Well, Berlin is GER
Ettainly a hell of dump"
Then again, they were entertained
by the American Chamber of Com
merce with an afternoon dance and
luncheon. A mother1y American wo-
man inquired Of them whether they
would care to dine first or dance
bit. s,.s
"Ah, let's eat" was the response.
Only two of the chaps could dance
anyway, but everybody certainly
could eat.
But when you try to hobble cow
how with an afternoon dance, a lot
of movies and "a lot Of intermirable
lectures, he may perhaps have differ.
ent notions about "a country than III
--well, let's say if he had a chance to
gallop into bar and say, Gimme the
same" or if he could peek into
wicked Beauty Dance
So it is that these cowboys---them-
selves of German extraction---are go
ing back home with the firm impress
sion that whatever Germany's other
faults or virtues are, she certainly
acts as "a hobble when it comes to
some live ones from the wild and
woody west, ia .t.
They haven't anything against
Germany in particular, but they are
firm believers in lin,itation OF debate.

EARLY RULE SOUGHT
ON RAILWAY RATES
Interstate Commission Told
Constant Agitation Hurts
Business.

Constant agitation of the railroad
rate subject has had a harmful effect
on business in general and tendency
to retard traffic. Thomas c. Powell,
vice president of the Erie railroad.
said today while testifying at the con-
tinuation of the Interstate Commerce
Commission investigation into trans
portation rates. He asked the COM
mission to hasten the investigation.
in order, he said, that it's conclusion
might decrease the disturbance and
relieve the expectation of generally
lower rates.
Carriers still seeking wage reduc-
tions, Mr.. Powell said. have clearly
indicated their determination to pass
these on in the form Of lower rates
to shippers if they can be attained.
Decreases in freight rates might take
place ''in the not far distant future,
but the railroad earnings Of the past
and present have failed to justify any
Shriver. vice president of the Baltf-
more and Ohio railroad, told the COM
mission yesterday. Mr.. Shriver, as
chairman of the accounting commit
sociation, spoke for all the roads.
Benjamin Campbell, vice president of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford, and Mr.. Powell also testified.
Earnings of class l roads IN the
twelve months ending September 80.
1921, Mr.. Shriver said, amounted to
s542, 2,4O9.OO0, which he declared to be
but 275 per cent on estimated prop
erty investment, as compared with
the transportation act clause pro-
viding for a per cent return. In spite
of lower costs for wages and ma
terials, he continued, roads in the
eastern district, if given during the
next year the same traffic they en-
joyed during the last, would earn but
54 per cent.
C,ross-examination Of the three wit
nesses was deferred under the COM
missions ruling until January, when
states. municipalities and shippers
will be heard.
