RATES AND WAGES
CLOSELY ALLIED
Railroads Slow in Accept
ing Advice to Make
Rate Cuts

WASHINGTON, May 23.--Admin-
istration Intervention into railroad
rate problems as lnstanced most re-
rectly In President Harding's din
ner conference with carrier execu-
tives has disclosed the close rela-
tionship between these and prob
lens of railroad pay scales and rail-
road financing, II indicated today at
the White House.
Railroad arrangements. Il was
said, while voicing approval OF the
general proposal that rates be
brought down in the interests OF
general business betterment and ex-
pansion of enterprise. have taken
the opportunity TO tell OF their own
troubles with wage scales which
they consider too high, with the IL
nancing of new equipment and re-
pair OF old and the maintenance
and betterment OF their lines. The
result is said to leave President
Harding hopeful. however. that tam
gible immediate reductions can be
obtained.
Railroad executives were told by
the president and Secretary Hoover
at the Saturday night conference "
they would leave class rates prac-
tically unchanged at existing levels
they could go into session with the
Interstate commerce commission and
at once cut sharply existing charges
on coal, iron, ores. brick, paving ma =
terials and other heavy tonnage low
unit priced commodition.
This. in the administration view,
would remove burdens which have
acted to retard the wheels OF COM
merce and at the same time leave
high rates on traffic which can bear
the burden because OF It's high unit
price. Many roads regard the pro-
posals with favor. but others look
with concern on the plan as COM
prising reduction In their chief
source of revenue. Among the lat
ter are listed the coal roads"
Rail earnings In the east have
developed recent tendency to rise,
is was argued by railroad managers
while western roads are still at low
earning points indicating n necessity
for treating the rate problem re-
gionally.

u. S. ENCOURAGES
BRITISH PROGRAM
Will Be Pleased If Great
Britain Can Get With
drawal of Japs

WASHINGTON, MAY 2s-The
United States government will be
extremely well pleased IL Great
Britain, through exertion OF friend
ly pressure upon japan, can bring
ABOUT withdrawal OF Japanese
troops from Siberia, officials said
today.
This government Is firm in its at
ttude that Siberia should be
evacuated "at the earliest possible
moment and this view Is well
known to the Toxic government
despite the fact that Secretary OF
state Hughes has not pressed the
japanese to name a definite date for
withdrawal.
The reported move OF Great
Britain in making friendly repre-
sentations' to Japan came as sur
prise to officials here. While the
attitude OF the United States toward
continued occupation of Siberia by
Japan has long been known in Lon
don, there was no particular reason
TO expect the British office to be In
terested in the far eastern situa-
ton to take the initiative On at
tempting to bring about a settle
ment OF so delicate a question.
At the same time 1t Is felt here
the British government Is keenly
interested in seeing the work OF
the armament conference come to
fruitition and In some quarters this
is ascrlbed as the motive for British
action.
No attempt has been made &c
conceal the fact that the Siberian
occupation constitutes n menace tC
good understanding in the far east
and as the Anglo-Japanese allianc'
Is still in effect, Great Britain, as @
the peace of the far east, Is obvi.
ously in an unusually good position
to make representations to japan,

DISMISSED SLEUTH
LANDS HIS MAN
Detective, Fired Because of Pris.
oner's Escape, Pays Own
Expenses in Chase.

Pittsburgh.-Patrick E. Moran, dis
charged detective of this city, handed
back to cheated justice a prize that
had been sought in the crime centers
of Philadelphia, New York City, and
Paris, France, when, in Wilkes-Barre,
Pa, he caused the arrest Of Rocco
Depippo, alleged master criminal,
whose escape caused Morans dis
missal from the Pittsburgh force three
years ago after sensational charges Of
graft had been made against him.
When Depippo escaped, Moran took
up the chase on his own initiative,
paid all his own expenses in tracing
the man from city to city, and, when
he had cornered his prize, stepped
aside to enable Wilkes-Barre officers
to make the arrest and claim the re-
ward. Moran wanted only to prove
that he had been falsely branded
when he was accused of permitting
Depippo to escape.
Depippo faces in Pittsburgh indict-
ment on total of 3S counts for burg
larry and other charges. Moran's orig
inal warrant was served on Depippo
in Cherbourg, France. After being re-
turned to Pittsburgh, and released on
bail, Depippo escaped, due, it was
said, to Moran's connivance. Depippo
now asserts that he had accomplices.
but they were not connected with the
police department and he abSolyes
Moran from any assistance In his es-
cape.
Moran took up the chase after his
dismissal, and during Its many turns
